The funny thing was that when I got that score I did not even get one single Super jackpot.

That PS3 score looks insane, btw.

Wow, that's good. I'd have thought you would have had 6+ super jackpots to get to that level.
I was thinking I'd need about 8 super jackpot to get to 700M+, maybe I need to change plans.


I'll keep trying, but It looks like I'm topping out at a little over 518M.

Thanks guys and as quoted above, same here. The 1.2 billion score game didn't involve any super jackpots and next to no multiball at all.

I played a few games going for jackpots and super jackpots and scored between 400+ million to 600+ million points. Then I found that the most time efficient manner of scoring points on this table just involves hitting the same shot over and over and over. Not as much fun, but certainly more lucrative if you can get into a consistent groove. So, if you want big points in a short amount of time, I've got two words... chase loop.

 

[TomL]

Tell me you didn't chase loop for 20 minutes.

 

[VMethos]

Umm... okay.
I didn't chase loop for 20 minutes...

...because I spent at least 30 seconds or more on errant shots?

 

[vikingerik]

Yeah, my leaderboard top score in regular play for T2 was more chase loop than anything else too. 40 straight shots totals a billion and is quite possible. Kinda disappointing that the TPA physics allow exploiting that so brutally when it's just a sideshow on the real table.

LOL! Kudos for having the patience and skills to pull this off. Very cool.

In Real Life, if you tried this exploit during a tournament, you'd probably get cheered/heckled by the crowd ruthlessly after every. single. loop.

That would take nerves of steel to endure.

Time to try the 20 minute chase loop challenge!
