Question about Extra Ball(s)

[Ton]

I read that 8 loops in the right ramp awards an extra ball, but has this to be done without interruption ? In other words successively or may a shot be missed in between ?

 

[Munky]

I believe it just lights the extra ball, but I could be wrong. And yes, must be successive.

no, right ramp shots don't have to be successive. it's LEFT ramp shots that do. right ramp shots are tracked by total hit throughout the game.

And i do believe it lights the extra ball, not scores it.
