[QUOTE="vikingerik, post: 130972, member: 3745"] It's not reliable. But it doesn't need to be. For high scores, you're not looking for a reliable strategy. You're looking for that high-variance combination that can shoot your score to the moon. Doesn't matter if 9 games fail that stacking if the 10th nails it and scores you multiple hundreds of millions. One strategy is to shoot for nothing but Gold Mine Multiball over and over. Literally nothing else - don't shoot Bart, don't shoot the quickdraw standups, don't go for combos or Polly or Stampede, all of those are risky. The mine shot is so easy and safe, it's the best reward/risk ratio available in the game. Then during GMM, just shoot for bonus multipliers. The 500K jackpots are paltry, while bonus multipliers can be worth 2M or more each. String together five or so Gold Mines on one ball and you'll find yourself with 2M x 40 bonus for 80M, more than High Noon. [/QUOTE]
