Pinball: instructions and practice
Try Pinball at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Original compact two-flipper table with three bumpers.
Bring this focus to a round
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.
Aim for this result
Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.
Start here and follow along
- Start to launch.
- Use the two flippers.
- Bumper collisions score.
- Launch remaining balls after a drain.
Input guidance
Hold Left/Right flipper or arrow keys. Start / pause and New round are available. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
See the idea in action
Activate the flipper when the ball reaches its active surface. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.
Watch out for this
A drained ball cannot be rescued. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
