I hear a lot of people scared about shooting for the trunk and other such  shots. I very rarely have any frustrations with this kinda thing. The only thing that annoys me about this table is the stupid magna-save not working at least 50% of the time. But I've read up on this on the other thread - hopefully it will be patched soon enough on the Xbox 360 version.My top score on this table is over 12 billion, more than 8 billion of that was obtained on my FIRST ball of ball 1...and I think I got about 5 or maybe even 6 extra balls in total during ball 1. After my score went over 10 billion, I thought the scoreboard had crashed so I basically stopped playing properly and just let the balls drain to see what happened.While I agree on the most part with the advice in the above posts, I would say the single most important thing you can do (if you're looking for a high score, that is) is to keep aiming for the centre staircase as often as possible. You want to get trap door shots as often as possible to maximise your cache of extra balls. A nice skill shot to learn is nudging the ball into the left-hand secret ball lock when doing a slow shot up the left centre loop. This completely bypasses the need to spell MAGIC over and over to get multiball. It can be tricky but it's a great shot to learn, because obviously the more regularly you have Magic Multiball, the higher your score is going to be.On top of that, all I have to add is my technique for Midnight Madness to net 176 million every time. Assuming you get your first shot for 24 million, hold down both flippers. The ball will bounce off the left flipper, left bumper, then land safely on the right flipper. If you release the right flipper JUST as the ball lands on it, the ball will be more controlled instead of rolling further up towards the right lanes. It also gives you just about the right amount of time for the trunk's magnet to reset after releasing the ball. Rinse and repeat this once per chime of the clock. I have tried various methods of trying to score higher, but never get as high as 176 million.I'm hoping to soon knock Caleb off the top of the leaderboard, I think he has about 35 billion or so. Now I know about the score reset, I won't panic and think my score has been erased when I get over 10 billion on my first ball.On a side note, this site seems to have a really good community going on! This is my first post here as I only discovered that this site even existed yesterday evening. But I'm glad that it does and this awesome global community of pinball enthusiasts has gathered here. I never knew so many people were interested! Great site, great forums, great community, great game! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
