SIN
RULESET VERSION 0.1 (CONTINUED)
SHADOW SALVATION (FINAL WIZARD MODE)
Shadow Salvation is only awarded when a Ninth Circle player successfully freezes Hell over. It is Sin’s final wizard mode, consisting of a 7-ball multiball with all sins, Cerberus, and Armageddon active simultaneously.
The mode begins by deadening the flippers and going through the following DMD sequence:
OUTLANES ARE LIT
PLAYFIELD MULTIPLIER +7X
STANDUPS ARE LIT FOR GREED
GREED SCORES (???)
HOLES ARE LIT FOR SLOTH
SLOTH SCORES (???)
RAMPS ARE LIT FOR LUST
LUST SCORES (???)
ORBITS ARE LIT FOR ENVY
ENVY SCORES (???)
SPINNERS ARE LIT FOR PRIDE
PRIDE SCORES (???) PER SPIN
SIN BIN IS LIT FOR GLUTTONY
GLUTTONY SCORES (???)
FRENZY IS ACTIVE FOR WRATH
WRATH SCORES (???) PER SWITCH
LOCK IS LIT FOR ESCHATON
SOUL BURN IS LIT FOR SUPER JACKPOT
SUPER JACKPOT = (???)
The Eschaton value is the sum total of all Sloth, Lust, Envy and Gluttony scores since the last time Eschaton was collected.
The ??? values for each sin’s shots are based on the total points previously scored in each sin and the Playfield X, as follows:
WAGES OF SIN
Wages of Sin is started by the Fifth Circle award or by Infernal Secret: Wages of Sin.
The Sin Bin is continuously lit for 20 seconds. Since the wages of sin are death, the first four shots spell D-E-A-T and score 200K, 400K, 600K, 800K. The fifth shot gives the “H”, scores 1M and spots a random uncompleted sin.
PANDEMONIUM
Pandemonium is activated by completing the 6-6-6 bank 66.6 times; that is, by 66 completions and then 2 more drop targets.
Pandemonium is a frenzy like Lyman’s Lament on Monster Bash. It adds +13 Bonus X and increases the switch bonus from 370 to 6,660 for the rest of the current ball. For all subsequent balls, it adds +6 Bonus X and does not affect the switch bonus.
SKILL SHOTS
Sin offers two skill shots, the normal Skill Shot and the Super Skill Shot.
A normal Skill Shot is achieved by launching the ball through the lit S-I-N lane. The lit lane can be rotated through with the flippers. Hitting the lit lane scores 200K+100K and adds 3 to the Bonus X. Whether made or not, a normal Skill Shot attempt enables a 15-second ball saver.
A Super Skill Shot is achieved by holding in the left flipper while launching the ball. The ball is fed around the left orbit. Both orbits, both ramps and the Sin Bin are lit, making any of these shots in 5 seconds awards 10 times the normal Skill Shot value, increases the normal Skill Shot value by 100K, and starts a random uncompleted sin. Whether made or not, a Super Skill Shot attempt reduces the ball saver to 5 seconds.
SOUL BURNS
When the Soul Burn hole is not lit for anything else (i.e., Sloth is not running, Cerberus Super Jackpot is not active, neither Ninth Circle mode is running, and it is not lit for Infernal Secret or Extra Ball), shooting it scores a Soul Burn. Each burnt soul counts 100K toward end-of-ball bonus.
Accumulated Soul Burns can be used to complete objectives in active sin modes as follows. Note that once a sin mode is completed, Soul Burns will not score further objectives. If multiple sins are running concurrently, Soul Burns are applied to the oldest uncompleted sin.
INLANE/OUTLANE LIGHTS
Spelling H-E-L-L in the inlanes/outlanes 1, 3, 6, 10, 15… times lights Infernal Secret at Soul Burn. The lit letters in H-E-L-L can be rotated through using the flippers.
The outlanes can also be lit (left outlane for Extra Ball, right outlane for Special) by Infernal Secret: Light Outlanes or by Shadow Salvation.
If the outlanes are lit by Infernal Secret, then the left outlane starts lit and they alternate by slingshot hits. The outlanes turn off if the ball drains.
If the outlanes are lit by Shadow Salvation, then both outlanes start lit and they do not alternate after one is collected, nor do they reset if the ball drains. (Given that Shadow Salvation is a 7-ball multiball, it is practically guaranteed to pick up both the extra ball and the special during Shadow Salvation itself.)
INFERNAL SECRETS
Infernal Secret is lit at Soul Burn by spelling H-E-L-L enough times. Infernal Secret works like the Camera awards in Twilight Zone in that there are 7 awards semi-randomized; you’ll get all 7 before repeating any, it is not possible to get the same award twice in a row, etc.
Unlike the Camera, collecting an award doesn’t tell you what the next one will be.
The 7 Infernal Secret awards are:

- Gluttony: (Gluttony total x Playfield X) / 200
- Wrath: (Wrath total x Playfield X) / 1000, per switch hit
- Super Jackpot: 20M x Playfield X
- All values above are rounded to nearest 10 points.

When the Soul Burn hole is not lit for anything else (i.e., Sloth is not running, Cerberus Super Jackpot is not active, neither Ninth Circle mode is running, and it is not lit for Infernal Secret or Extra Ball), shooting it scores a Soul Burn. Each burnt soul counts 100K toward end-of-ball bonus.
Accumulated Soul Burns can be used to complete objectives in active sin modes as follows. Note that once a sin mode is completed, Soul Burns will not score further objectives. If multiple sins are running concurrently, Soul Burns are applied to the oldest uncompleted sin.
- Greed: Hits a random lit Greed target and adds time.
- Sloth: Hits the hole that was not the most recently-hit hole. If no hole has been hit, hits the Cerberus Lock.
- Lust: Collects a Lust Jackpot.
- Envy: Collects a hurry-up value and adds 250K to it.
- Pride: Spins the Gates of Hell 10 times.
- Gluttony: Collects a lit Sin Bin and adds time.
- Wrath: Immediately collects a Wrath Jackpot regardless of how many switch hits were needed (but the spotted switch hits do not count for scoring).
INLANE/OUTLANE LIGHTS
Spelling H-E-L-L in the inlanes/outlanes 1, 3, 6, 10, 15… times lights Infernal Secret at Soul Burn. The lit letters in H-E-L-L can be rotated through using the flippers.
The outlanes can also be lit (left outlane for Extra Ball, right outlane for Special) by Infernal Secret: Light Outlanes or by Shadow Salvation.
If the outlanes are lit by Infernal Secret, then the left outlane starts lit and they alternate by slingshot hits. The outlanes turn off if the ball drains.
If the outlanes are lit by Shadow Salvation, then both outlanes start lit and they do not alternate after one is collected, nor do they reset if the ball drains. (Given that Shadow Salvation is a 7-ball multiball, it is practically guaranteed to pick up both the extra ball and the special during Shadow Salvation itself.)
INFERNAL SECRETS
Infernal Secret is lit at Soul Burn by spelling H-E-L-L enough times. Infernal Secret works like the Camera awards in Twilight Zone in that there are 7 awards semi-randomized; you’ll get all 7 before repeating any, it is not possible to get the same award twice in a row, etc.
Unlike the Camera, collecting an award doesn’t tell you what the next one will be.
The 7 Infernal Secret awards are:
- 5,000,000
- Wages of Sin (the same as the Fifth Circle award)
- Light Outlanes
- Reprieve (the table’s outlanes and flippers reset to their easiest setting; they advance one difficulty level every 60 seconds until they return to the level when Reprieve was collected)
- Collect Bonus
- Complete Current Sin (if multiple sins are running, this completes them all)
- +1 Playfield X
MISCELLANEOUS SCORING
Various shots score as follows:
- Jet Bumpers: 2530 when not lit for Infernal Jets.
