Quickie Version
Shoot lit numbers and lanes, ideally with both the number and the arrow lit.

Full Rules
Not a great game for competition, since once you’ve collected all the numbers, there’s almost nothing to do but chase the sole lit arrow if able or go UTAD and hope for bumper love and some random hits on the 5K green stand-up targets. Having the lit arrow where you can use it is more a matter of luck than skill.
Numbers score 5000 when lit, which is just the first time collected; they’re worth only 500 thereafter. The two spinners and the star rollover in the center move the arrow which is always on exactly one number. If both the number and the arrow on it are lit, it scores 10K. Blue bumpers score 1K.
Playfield Risk
Risk all over here. Balls falling through either spinner can center drain; balls through the 5, 6, 9 and 10 lanes can drain or go into the slingshots. Rebounds off of the 1, 4, 7 and 8 stand-up targets can go astray, and if you miss and hit a post alongside them it’s worse. Last but definitely not least, the bumpers can smack you down, especially if you hit them directly. Shoot what you need, watch the results and nudge when indicated.
