Strategy notes, tutorial videos, and outside resources.
Grand Prix pinball machine has 153 recorded tournament games in Savage, MN. A game runs about 15m, the median of 151 timed games, so budget for that in a round with a clock on it. The better-ranked player loses here 53.6% of the time, which puts it at 34/100 for difficulty. That is a low-variance machine: scores hold up and the stronger player usually wins, so it rewards the favorite.
Watch out for the gaps in the inlanes.
A and B targets light double bonus
Collect bonus by hitting saucer on either side (right saucer collects right bonus and vice versa)
Aim for spinners to advance bonus and eventually light that spinner.
Third completion of A&B or C&D Drops awards extra ball. Rip the Spinner and lit red arrow by the flippers shows which side bonus will count.
Play slow and take control
