[QUOTE="Deltaechoe, post: 105609, member: 3508"] Well I have a few tricks that allow me to score over 500k on the real table (i've done 1.2m once) and consistently scoring over 3m on TPA. Trick number 1 is the shot into the lower playfield from the upper right flipper straight from a re entry, this works because the gate doesn't close when the ball is on the lower playfield and if the first shot after re entry is back to the lower playfield you beat and reset the gate timer. This is relatively easy on TPA compared to the real table where ball ejection from reentry doesn't have what I would call consistent velocity, but if I remember correctly, you will have to reopen the gate with the drop targets (right bank of 3). Trick number 2 is about nudging on the top playfield, and this applies more to the real table as the SDTM drains are brutal on it. You NEED to nudge a lot but, at least on the tables i've played, don't do it more than twice every 20 seconds or so. The trick is to do a left or right nudge (use your best judgment) just as the ball passes that blue jet bumper on the lower level and pretty much instantly kick up whichever flipper you nudged to. Another tip, multiball isn't as important as some people think it is on this table, a better scoring technique is to complete the two drop target banks and just game the lower level with the eternal gate trick that I mentioned above and you'll mash your way to a multi million bonus in no time Also, what pezpunk says about the lower playfield is true, the flippers aren't as powerful and there's no way in hell that you could backhand the multiplier loop like you can in TPA [/QUOTE]
