How to play

Skill shot: plunge into the blinking A·C·E lane — the gauge beside the plunger marks the E, C and A pulls; the flippers move the lit lane.
A·C·E lanes: light all three for bonus 2X–5X.
Royal Flush: drop 10·J·Q·K·A to relight a mission; every third flush lights an extra ball.
Missions start at the scoop (Captain’s Table): Steam Race (3 orbits or ramps), High Stakes (3 ramps), Card Sharp (4 drop hits), Boiler Room (12 pops).
Locks: hit all four suits to light the lock; each ramp shot then loads a ball into the paddle wheel. With two aboard, the next ramp starts All Aboard multiball.
Jackpots on both orbits and the ramp during multiball (+75,000 each); collect all three to light the super jackpot at the scoop (3× the jackpot). Classic jackpots keep building all game; Blitz and All In restart at 250,000.
Combos: different major shots within 4 s, up to 5-way. The same shot again and again scores less each time — mix it up.
Outlanes: the left kickback and the right outlane save start lit; roll both inlanes to relight them (kickback first).
Extra ball: the 2nd and 4th missions light it at the scoop.
Nudge gently: two DANGER warnings, then TILT loses the ball’s bonus.
