Maximum displayed point score is 999,950 points per player.

The lowest scoring switches on the playfield award 50 points or 100 points, making the player’s final score always ending in 00 or 50 if the player never tilts. However, the passive bumpers at the top of playfield score 50 points each, in 10 point increments, with the full 50 points taking a second or two for awards. If the play tilts before the full 50 points arrive, the score stops accumulating immediately, and a score ending in something other than 00 or 50 is then possible. The match number is always from 00 to 90.

Credit display maximum is selectable up to 40.

Notes:

Designer Jim Patla told us that his original drawing shows that all four flippers were to be the longer type. However, the upper two flippers were changed to the shorter type because longer flippers interfered with the lower flipper backhand shots. Three dimples on the playfield, representing flipper adjustment positions, can be seen at a distance from each end of the shorter flippers at a point where longer flippers would have met them.
