Learn your way around Pinball
Choose a round of Pinball and settle into its rules. Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. Look at what changes after your first action. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Original compact two-flipper table with three bumpers.
Bring this focus to a round
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Make the next step deliberately.
The goal to keep in mind
Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Step by step
- Start to launch.
- Use the two flippers.
- Bumper collisions score.
- Launch remaining balls after a drain.
Choosing and moving on screen
Hold Left/Right flipper or arrow keys. Start / pause and New round are available. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
An example to follow
Activate the flipper when the ball reaches its active surface. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Choose a deliberate next step.
Where a round can go wrong
A drained ball cannot be rescued. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
