Quickie Version
Complete the red drop target 5-bank, then hit lit targets or repeat the five-bank to get your bonus multiplier up to 5X. Now go UTAD if your base bonus is not over 11K; once it is, collect bonus at the bullseye target.
Go-To Flipper
Balanced
Full Rules
Base bonus is advanced by all lanes, targets and lit star rollovers and goes up to 19K. Completing the red five-bank of drop targets at the top left or getting all four C-H-I-C lanes advances your bonus multiplier to 2X. Once you get to 2X, an additional way to increase your multiplier is added: hitting the bullseye target above the right slingshot. Once at 3X, this extra chance shifts to the left-most red drop target to go to 4X. At 4X, it moves to the top white drop target to get to 5X.
Maximum overall bonus is 95K total. Once base bonus is at least 11K, you can collect it by hitting the bullseye stand-up target. Base bonus resets once bonus is collected, but your multiplier is preserved. Base bonus, bonus multiplier and C-H-I-C letters all reset every ball.
Strategy: from the left flipper, go up top via the right arc to get CHIC. From the right flipper, complete the red drop targets. Once at 2X, use the progression above to get your bonus multiplier up to 5X. Odds are that by the time you get 5X lit, your base bonus will be between 11K and 19K, so it’ll be time to collect it and resume building it back up. Rebuild it with red drops and right arcs.
Playfield Risk
Smackdowns from either bumper; balls coming down the left side that miss the bumper by just a little and head towards a center drain (if they bounce off the rubber, they need to bounce hard enough to make it across to the right flipper, but not so hard they go to the right slingshot - a fine line); rebounds off of any of the necessary targets; balls feeding the right outlane at a bad speed - - if too fast or too slow the ball goes post-wall-outlane; balls rolling down the right side over the star rollovers that hit the bottom rubber corner above the drop targets too hard and go out of control.
