I still haven't mastered that.  and it DOES happen in real life too. but i think it should be tweaked a bit to never hop far enough to drain SDTM.Part of the key to doing well is knowing what will and won't stack. The Golden Rule (or is that yellow?): once a drop target is up it can not be locked out for any reason until it drops.Polly Peril locks out the following.Gunfight.quickdraw inlanes.quickdraw standups.progress on adventures.and, sadly, combo stars. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />   This is most unfortunate, as you would otherwise score a lot of them.polly peril does NOT lock outbart hits. in fact, because it locks out gunfight, it UNLOCKS bart hits that would otherwise be locked out by a lit gunfight.active quickdraws. any drop target that's up you can hit it.the lost mine. you can make progress towards multiball.bounties.starting High NoonQuick Draw locks out gunfight while it's running, (and gives you the same ability to rack up bart hits while gunfight is qualified) but when not running, gunfight locks out quickdraw.All mulitballs lock outa) progress towards other multiballsb) ability to start other mutliballs, UNLESS quick draw 4 is active, then you can stack showdown by striking it.c) combo starsd) bountiese) progress towards adventures.f) bart hits. these must be done in single ball play.g) quickdraws. quickdraw targets don't register, and lit inlanes unlight.h) gunfights. they unlight and relight at the end of multiball.i) high noon. you need to end the multiball first.All running modes continue into multiball, including polly peril (but you then have to beat it blind)Doing a grace period showdown multiball restart will end any other stacked multiballs and jsut leave you with showdown.I find that showdown multiball can easily last a LOOOOOONG time.  I've gotten over 20 million many times from just that mode alone.</blockquote>
