[QUOTE="RetroBlast, post: 7317, member: 364"] I started a new tactic and for me it seems to be paying off. At the start of the game, I solely concentrate on getting extra balls. I have found that in doing so, I generally wind up hitting the yellow spot targets and many of the top drop downs. When ever I see the ball traveling close to the yellow spots and parallel to them, I nudge the table to pick one off. Once down in the black hole I immediately go for the 5x multiplier and while doing so, generally inadvertently drop down the light blue right drop targets. But once those targets have been dropped twice, I either lock the ball in the catcher or exit with the gate open. As the ball comes out of the gate, I let it travel over the the top right flipper than try and nail top roll-under with the extra ball lit with the lower right flipper. I try and hit that roll-under 2x if I can for two extra balls. I then concentrate on the upper drop targets and try to get at least one g force going. In the process of doing that, I usually find all the yellow drop targets are down opening up the top level ball catcher. I don't really go for that catcher but if I hit it by chance, all the better. Then its back down into the black hole. If the special lights up down there, I nail it. If it does not, I drop the light blue right drop targets once and get out with the gate open. Now that the light blues have been dropped 3x, the special is lit up on the top roll-under and I try to nail it for a third extra ball. After that, its down into the black hole for points and if I get out of there with the gate open, then I try for multi-ball, hopefully with 2 g force active and 5 times active. Of course, anything can happen, but I feel more relaxed with two extra balls under my belt at the get go. After starting this tactic, I finally broke 2 Mil and then 3 Mil, before using this tactic, I was lucky if I got close to 1 Mil. The beauty of lighting up the extra ball at the top roll-under is if you drain, it remains lit, and you can make up for a lost ball. [/QUOTE]
