Pinball Table
Here is a simple overview of the pinball table.
Green lines- A few paths that one Pinballer should know about, for they will come in handy.
Red Dot- If you hit the ball at that point, you can hit all 3 vials/cans at once
Blue Dot- When the ball goes up a ramp, but it doesn't seem to make it, bump the table (
Space bar) and it will reach the top.
1 - Grunnies
Hit all 3 to go up one level on the field multiplier. Your current multiplier is below #10 (x2, x3, x4, x5) This
DOES NOT multiply the points by the multiplier. How does it work then? When you finally lose all the balls for that turn, a message appears with the Grunny saying "field multiplier x#. Basically it will take whatever amount of points you earned for that turn times that by the field multiplier.
Ex: If you got 250,000 points for your first turn and you had a field multiplier X4. Then at the end of that turn, you will have earned a total of 1,000,000 + whatever you get on your next balls.
2 - S L O T S
In order to get here you must hit the S L O T S triggers by the Grunnies. Once you have done that, the gate will open allowing you to spin the blue spinner. You can enter it by the ramp next to the shop (#3).
There are 5 different pictures:
Gold Coin
The Multiplier here depends on
Red Thing
how much the spinner spins. If it
Giftbox
spins around 5 times, it will times
Wings
the points by 5. The highest is a 9.
Golden Halo
You can get points by matching at least 2.
idea To see the amount of points you can get, please refer to the "Points & Prizes" In this thread.
3 - The Shop
This is where you get your power-ups (unless you buy them from the MP).
You buy the power-ups with gold coins you receive for doing the quests (#2, #4, #5,# 6, #7)
idea Go to "Power-ups" section to see what you can get.
4 - Fishing
Fishing is a small side quest. In order to do it you must hit the 4 fish surrounding the shack. When they have all been hit, 3 fishes will appear in the water indicating you may enter the shack to upgrade your bait. You will receive a coin for your efforts each time you do it. Every 3 times you complete it, the bumper changes colors. Starting with
blue, then
green, then
red.
idea Once the fisherman says "No fish is safe from your reel" it means you cannot do the quest anymore.
5 - Gambino's Mansion
There are 3 vials in the front of the house. Hit all 3 to gain access to his mansion. When you enter it, it will collapse and 3 cans will appear in front of the house. Knock those down and enter, and you will rebuild the house. It is a never ending cycle. You get a coin each time you blow it up and rebuild it.
idea Each time you rebuild it. The G A I A in the middle will turn
green for each letter. Once all four letters are green. Von Helson's Manor will appear over it.
6 - Bank
This can act as a saver if your ball is going down the OMG! lane. In order for it to open, you must hit the T R A D E triggers, opposite of the S L O T S triggers. You get a coin for entering, and your ball will automatically shoot itself back in.
7 - Market
Same thing here. It can act as a saver if your ball is going down the WTF? lane. It is the same as the bank, you open it by hitting the T R A D E triggers. It will alternate back and forth for the bank and the market.
8 - Guild Ramp
Enter the ramp by the Grunnies to get a few bonus points. If you hit the guild bonus icon (next to the T R A D E letters, it will give you even more bonus points.
J.e.s.s.a.m.y.n.
To get the multiball, you have to hit TRADE, go to Bank - hit TRADE, go to Market, and finally hit TRADE again and then go up the Guild Ramp. Ta-Da, multiball.
idea If you have only 1 ball out in the field and have been playing for a while, you can enter here, and receive a free multi-ball. It will not work if you already have more than 1 ball out. It will say "Multi-ball Jackpot" instead.
9 - V O T E
This is one of the hardest triggers to hit. Hit all four letters and the bumpers will change color.
Starting with
yellow, then
green, then
blue, then
purple, then
red.
idea Some say bumping the table helps reach those letters.
10 - G A I A & Von Helson's Manor
These letters can only be filled by rebuilding Gambino's Mansion (#5) Each letter will turn
green when you rebuild the house. When it is full, Von Helson's Manor will appear over it allowing you to enter.
idea For more info on the inside, see the "Von Helson Manor" section.
11 - Power Ups
I've mentioned this in the "How to Play" section, but for those who skipped it i will say it again.
These are the power-ups you can get when you enter the shop with a certain amount of gold.
1gold: Arm Floaties "Floaties" - Automatically returns the main ball to the shoot.
2gold: Insurance Policy - Puts up both kickbacks (WTF? & OMG!).
3gold: Sticky Paddle "Stickyball" - Makes your flippers sticky and attracts the ball.
4gold: Fishing Net - Upgrades your bait by 3 levels.
5gold: Bag of Marbles - Automatic Multi-ball (there must be only 1 ball in the field, and it cannot be in the shoot).
6gold: Fools Gold - Goes up one level in the field multiplier.
7gold: Stuffed Armadillo - Gives you another ball.

12 - Status
This shows the current amount of points you have accumulated and the amount of balls left.
idea Sometimes this score does not match with the one under your avatar.
It is unto my understanding the one under your avatar, is the score used to determine your prize. The reason for the weird difference is the multi-ball and field multiplier. For some weird reason, when you use multi-ball, and lose one of the balls, the game thinks you have lost all the balls for that turn and automatically adds up the score with the field multiplier, but you are still playing. From then on, every point you get, you will not get the field multiplier even if it says you have one. When you finally lose all your balls, the score under your avatar will not get multiplied, while the one in the status part will, creating a differences in the scores.
