White Water Rules

Multiball is always a source of good points. The two targets next to No Way Out light locks, lock three balls to start multiball. Jackpot is Insanity Falls.
Scoring two or three jackpots on the opening volley for Multiball doubles or triples the jackpot for the rest of the multiball.
Shooting blinking orange “hazards” awards solid points. Collecting all lit hazards advances you up the river for increasing value.
Spelling R-I-V-E-R at the left bank of standups, multiplies your bonus and all hazards scored. If you have a high river class, hazards can be worth a lot.some text
- Rolling over a lit inlane spots one letter in R-I-V-E-R. Try to light any inlane you’re about to roll through!
Shooting Insanity Falls lights Bigfoot Bluff for a boulder award. The lit boulder award changes by the bumpers. Most significantly, one boulder award grants 5X Playfield for 25 seconds. Running this with a multiball is almost guaranteed to beat any scores which don’t get the same stack.some text
- Most ROMs (read: all ROMs on games used in competition) cap the multiplier at 5X for multiball jackpots. A 3X multiball jackpot during 5X playfield is usually worth 5X, and not 15X. (It’s still worth a lot.)
Other solid boulder awards include Whirlpool Challenge (quick multiball) and Man Overboard (a hurry-up).
Completing all of the rafts starts Wet Willie’s, which is very valuable.
Forget about getting to the Vacation Jackpot if you’re playing in a tournament.
