X's & O's pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
X's & O's carries upper-bank, outer-left-lane, and completed X-O-card values between balls. The left orbit and upper-right flipper keep the ball near the drop bank while incidental standup hits fill the card.
The goal
Keep the ball up top through the left orbit and upper-right flipper, and repeatedly complete the upper drop bank as both progressive values rise.
Reach the upper bank
Shoot the outer-left orbit, or feed the upper-right flipper from below.
Repeat the bank
Use the upper-right flipper to complete the upper three-bank. Each completion raises both its value and the outer-left-lane value.
Keep matching symbols
Let standup hits build the X-O card. If one symbol dominates, time later hits to keep that same symbol.
