Tips for a better score
- Aim for two winning spaces stacked directly above each other in one column. When the machine blocks the lower one, it lifts you straight into the upper.
- A round win pays 150 times the round number plus 50 for every win in your run, and a draw adds 50 without breaking that count.
- Before each drop, look at the space directly above where your disc will land. If the machine can win there, your disc has just handed it over.
- On a phone, press and slide sideways to line up your column. The disc drops into whichever column your finger is over when you let go.
