Credit Posting - Insert coin; knocker sounds, number of credits displayed. If maximum credits* exceeded by coin or high score to date*, credits are posted correctly, coin lockout deenergized until remaining credits are below maximum. No credits may be won and coins are rejected while lockout is deenergized.

Bonus multiplier advanced and FIRE insert lit by spotting "F-l-R-E". "F-l-R-E" lamps rotate by actuating right flipper (LANE CHANGE feature).

FIREPOWER - Making three POWER targets scores 10,000 and lites POWER insert, left and right inside rollovers, and *ball saver kicker ON.

Spotting "1-6" twice on the same ball lights all jet bumpers.

Eject Holes - Making eject hole when flashing locks up ball and new ball released per following order: from ball ramp, flashing eject hole, unlit eject hole. Locking up all balls in eject holes initiates MULTI-BALL play. To minimize multiple player interaction, lit and flashing eject holes are reallocated from ball to ball as required: Dashing lamp to empty eject hole if possible; lit lamp to occupied eject hole if possible.

Notes:

1. Functions 00- 11 cannot be changed from the coin door; however, Functions 01-11 can be set to zero as described on page 7.
2. Total Credits (Function 08) is the sum of Function 04 and as applicable, Functions 05, 06, and 07.
3. Total Extra Balls (Function 09) is the sum of the game extra ball feature and Functions 15 and 06, as applicable.
4. Current High Score to Date (Function 12) can be changed to the value of the Backup High Score to Date (Function 13) by operating the HIGH SCORE RESET switch while in the game over mode.
