How to Play Pinball

Pinball is a classic arcade game that is a lot of fun, but takes a lot of skill to master. If you want to be a pinball wizard, you have to learn how the machine functions first in order to control the ball. Once you understand the machine, you’ll be able to master it and get your name on the high score board. Just make sure you bring enough quarters with you!

Part1 Learning the Machine (in Real for further Skills)

Step 1

Read the instructions on the front panel. Every pinball machine has a different way to rack up points. Find the instructions cars near in the front left of the machine and read over how to get bonuses and accumulate points while you play.[1]

Compare any symbols on the instruction card to the symbols inside the machine. Make sure you understand what each instruction is referencing.

Step 2

Study the layout of the machine. Pinball machines have a busy interior that may seem overwhelming at first, but many machines have similar structures. Pay attention to where the components are that will earn you points and will move the ball.

Step 3

Pull the plunger to release the ball. The plunger is the handle at the front of the machine that you pull and release to shoot the ball into the machine. Use it whenever you start your pinball game or when you lose the ball.

Step 4

Use the flippers to hit and shoot the ball. The flippers are the paddles at the bottom of the machine that you use to hit the ball. The buttons for the flippers are typically found on the left and right sides of the machine.

Check to see if you only have 2 flippers, or if there are additional flippers near the top of the machine.

Step 5

Use the bumpers to get points and bounce the ball. Bumpers are found throughout the entire machine and will bounce the ball away. Common places for bumpers are at the top of the machine and just above the bottom flippers.

Step 6

Watch the display on top to see what to aim for next. The display will display goals and your current score. Check the display often when you have control of the ball so you know the next goal for your machine.[2]

Some pinball machines will tell a story the longer you play them. Tune into the screen so you don’t miss anything.

Make sure you have control of the ball when you check the screen. You don’t want to lose a ball because you looked away.

Listen to sound cues as well. Many times a voice will tell you what you should shoot at next.

Part2 Controlling the Ball (Applicable for Mobile Game)

Step 1

Only use one flipper at a time. When you try to use both flippers, you’re more likely to miss the ball. Instead, look at the direction the ball is coming and only use the closest flipper. If the ball is on the left use the left flipper, and use the right flipper if the ball is falling down the right.[3]

Use both flippers only if the ball is falling directly down the middle. Nudge the machine slightly to move the ball into safety.

Anticipate the ball’s movements instead of reacting to it. Reacting to the ball will only make you have less control.

Step 2

Rest the ball on the flippers to slow the ball down. When the ball comes down, activate the nearest flipper and let the ball rest in the pocket made by the path and flipper. When you’re ready to shoot the ball, let the flipper fall so the ball rolls.[4]

Activate the flippers slowly so you don’t accidentally hit the ball back up into the machine.

If you’re able to slow down and think about your next move, you’ll be able to make your balls last longer and get a higher score.

Step 3

Learn where the ball goes with different parts of the flipper. After you’ve stopped the ball, try hitting it on different places with the flipper. For example, let the ball get closer to the end of the flipper before activating it to hit the opposite side of the machine. This is known as a forehand hit.[5]

Each pinball machine will play differently, even if they’re the same game. Take the first ball of each game to learn the machine and how it shoots.

Step 4

Practice backhand shots by hitting the ball near the top of the flipper. Rather than letting the ball roll down the flipper, hit it immediately to aim for a spot on the same side of the machine as the flipper. Practice hitting the ball a few times to see where the ball goes when you shoot it.[6]

For example, if you’re using the right flipper, hitting the ball near the top of the flipper will make it go right.
