Boomerang / Flicker Rules

Quickie Version:

Spinner all day is one choice; the other is shooting the two captive balls to build up the bonus and shooting A-B-C-D to activate double bonus.

Go-to Flipper:

Balanced

Risk Index:

High

Full Rules:

Skill Shot is the top hole for 3000. When you shoot the spinner, if you get decent point action in that center circle and at the end of it the ball drops out safely without draining most of the time, stick with the spinner. If not, try the bonus route. Bonus maxes at 15000, 30K with the doubler. Don’t bother trying to shoot the ball into the arcs just centerward of the captive ball lanes, nor up the center to the right of the spinner. Neither is good risk-reward.
