Stroke of Luck doesn't always happen in a long game, but it's probably like 90% likely or so after an hour. EB from video mode is repeatable, and is random every time.

Only video mode is really random in AFM. Stroke of Luck is just once per game. Strobe Multiball is not random; it always occurs after three Stroke of Luck shots (if something like Martian Attack is conflicting, Strobe will wait until the next Stroke shot instead), and the EB always takes 10...

This happens only once per game, I'm pretty sure. Same goes for AFM's EB at Stroke of Luck (all its other random EBs are from video mode.) I've never seen it more than once in a game, in very long games on either table. You will get this EB eventually in a long enough game, and not more than...

I played again and carefully counted multiballs, and had this happen again. It was after 8 multiballs, which seems like a round and ordinary number. One of the MBs was restarted by the cellar but that probably didn't matter. No idea if this is a ROM bug or intended behavior. Either seems...

PC version shows the leaderboards now. And now I will also try to set a high score to find out if it's posting scores too. :)

Well, if you're that worried, you can just drain any of the random EBs if you don't like them. In TPA at least, the big thing is that every time you reach the wizard mode, it lights a Special for an EB. And EBs are the biggest thing you can do in TOM because each one can be 1 billion or more...

I never got the 125M jackpot either, but never really tried. No tips here I'm afraid.

Topic drift since it isn't Frankenstein, but I got three balls caught and not moving in this rather improbable configuration on Whirlwind:

I think there's more to it than that. You need to shoot the ramp for multiballs, and you have to make the Juggler locks and several other shots for the wizard mode. It doesn't all get sorted by itself. Random EBs wouldn't have been my major complaint about Theatre. AFM has them too. But...

Other way around here, I thought Guns n Roses was overblown lowbrow pandering back in high school, but have come to like them a lot since, as the last true great rock band before the fragmentation of pop music. Although one of my major I'm-getting-old moments was when classic rock stations...

I just got this too, had never seen it before. It also happened to me around 270M on my 2nd ball with a couple EBs remaining. I don't know exactly how many instances of multiball it was, but somewhere between six to eight. It was a short multiball, just a couple million shots. After that MB...

I've been on top of the Pro Pinball leaderboards since it came out 20 years ago, so I can't be all that young compared to you guys. I'm 38 this month, so younger but not by a whole lot.

Three on a flipper happens plenty in TPA. With two on a flipper, if a third one comes from above slowly enough, it'll stop and sit there. Happens to me all the time on Ripley's when I'm holding balls waiting to time out Atlantis. Twilight Zone is probably an easy place to see it. Get LITZ...

The numbers don't cycle through in order. Record a video and step it frame by frame. There's no pattern. At most you'll see a few short runs in order, but that's not a pattern, just random results that happen to line up that way.

Rich hates on everything, ignore him. Look through his post history, it's full of hate on everything from table art to acronyms to kickstarters.

Is that true? Is there a correlation between the sound and the number rolled? I couldn't find any, what are the details on how that works?

The board game is 100% luck with nothing you can do to influence it once started. Unless you abuse the pause cheat mentioned elsewhere in this forum. To get tokens, you just have to play a lot until you get some wins. What you can do on the playfield to influence it beforehand: Get the...

A really minor flaw: the columns on the comparison sheet aren't wide enough to show the trillion scores on CFTBL. :)

This isn't a physical or device problem, this is a relationship problem.

No. I mean nudge up while the ball is in the right inlane, before it reaches the flipper, which sends it over to the left for a catch. It's a traditional pinball hold pass, which we sometimes lose sight of in TPA with all the other abusable nudging. It's very reliable, 95% or better, with a...
