Quickie Version
UTAD via left orbit lane (white).

Full Rules
As you would expect, similar to Royal Flush the EM, but with a small wrinkle. The SS version has the bonus scores 10 times higher than on the EM, but the pad targets behind the center drops have the same value as on the older game. This means that going for the center 3000 pad once the targets are finished is no longer worthwhile; it pales compared to the left half-orbit shot, which was increased by a factor of 10 along with the bonus. So now it’s left 30,000 lane all day once the drops are done, don’t even think about the center pad at all for the whole game.
Playfield Risk
usually balls exiting the top on the right side and or deflecting off of the slanted rubber above the saucer. Shots through either white lane (“open gate” on the right, orbit shot on the left) can drain if they hit the rubber below wrong. Shots at the lower (left hand) drop targets are riskier than the upper ones, though both can go out of control.
