Ghostbusters pinball machine has 462 recorded tournament games in Blaine, MN, Minneapolis, MN. A game runs about 18m, the median of 459 timed games, so budget for that in a round with a clock on it. The better-ranked player loses here 51.8% of the time, which puts it at 33/100 for difficulty. That is a low-variance machine: scores hold up and the stronger player usually wins, so it rewards the favorite.
Select the left rollover (P). Seems to be the easiest to consistently hit, and gives you +3x bonus each time, which can result in big points
Collecting gears using the left ramp, over and over, starts a hurry-up on the proton pack targets (left) which can lead to big points.
If you already have a mode started go for the "K" rollover to light multipliers. This teamed with Stay Puft can lead to HUGE points.
In comp. mode, Neg- Re-inforce. will give you a correct guess for every 10 ghosts you have earned. Your very next pick will always be wrong!
"We came, we saw" mini wizard is started by finishing a tree of modes. Left scoop=2 modes, while left ramp=3 modes and right loop=4 modes.
Use the short ballsaver from the right kickout to bounce pass to the right flipper for a safe shot at the captive balls.
With ball save short plunge to trap on right flipper. Shoot captive balls, 2 hits will qualify locks, then shoot for your skill shot.
Ball save may not activate on a soft plunge if no switches hit. You can drain, giving you another chance at the skillshot. Or extra BS time.
Agree on left rollover. Put the blue arrow on the left scoop. If you miss the lane, miss it long and try for the left scoop to start a mode.
If a mode is already running when you plunge, select the lower right scoop shot to get an easier 2x multiplier lit.
If you have super loopins lit, before hitting the ramp, get the ball into the pops. You can get an extra 10 seconds added, then hit the ramp
