[QUOTE="pezpunk, post: 52640, member: 951"] i haven't spent much time on this table, but i'm pretty good at it (usually rack up multiple big super jackpots and games are longgggg) several tips: - trying to trap on the right is a little more interesting now (ios) but it's still pretty easy. from the kickout, it's about 50/50, and even if the trap fails, the ball trickles off the end of the flipper and you can do a quick tap with the left flipper and send it directly into the snack bar hole, which is a nice safe recovery. - i have discovered a way to get an extra ball from the first snack bar every single time. if you listen to the (cheesy) background music after launching the ball, it plays a song that goes "verse / verse / guitar solo / verse". each section is about 30 seconds long. if you grab the snack bar during the 30 second span of the "guitar solo" (or "bridge") section of the song, you will get a Special or Extra Ball automatically. it happens about a minute into the game, so you have to be relatively quick but not TOO quick about getting the snack bar. (i've missed it by getting the snack bar too soon, but you have to be very quick to do so.) if you've done it right, all the rewards on the board as the selector flashes around will be "special", "extra ball", "light special", "eb countdown", "a new car", etc, and it will always stop on either special or extra ball. (is it possible to get "a new car" and if so what does it do??). - if you are interested in a high score, seriously do not worry about the right ramp, "move your car", building up the left ramp bonus, or the rollover multipliers (except to light "film"). ignore the flashing lights and calls to hit various ramps or targets. much like BoP, high scores on this table are about one thing only: huge super jackpots. learn to throw the ball up the "move your car" lane into the bumpers. do this a LOT. over and over. bumper hits build the jackpot value. then get the 4x scoring during multiball and score the SJ. that's the sole route to big numbers.
