Zira pinball rules and strategy

Complete the four lower drops to build their awards and light the red and blue bumpers, then pass all installed captive-ball switches for Extra Ball. Hit the central targets until 3x, 4x, or 5x bonus is lit. Repeatedly complete the seven upper drops to advance their award ladder and eventually light Special at the central red targets.

The goal

Favor the four lower drops and captive-ball lane for the most direct Extra Ball route. Use the central targets whenever their moving light offers a bonus multiplier, then work the seven upper drops in complete cycles toward Special.

  1. Complete both colored pairs in the four-target lower bank to light the red and blue bumpers and two captive-ball lane lights.

  2. Pass all installed captive-ball switches to collect Extra Ball.

  3. Hit the central targets as their light advances; collect 3x, 4x, or 5x to raise the end-of-ball bonus multiplier.

  4. Complete all seven upper drops as a bank, then repeat complete-bank cycles until their final tier lights Special at the central red targets.

Machine setup

  • Test all seven upper drops, all four lower drops, the central targets and moving-value lamps, both pop bumpers, the kickout hole, the A-B-C-D-E-F switches, the lower-right lane, and the captive-ball lane switches and lamps.
  • Confirm whether the captive-ball lane uses three or four switches, whether Extra Ball and Special award a ball, replay, or points, and whether target progress carries between balls before choosing a route.
