Basic Bally Table Rules for Embryon
--------------------------------------------------------

One player is posted each additional time the credit button is pressed (one to four can play). The credits are reduced by one each tiem the credit button is pressed until the credits are reduced to zero.

Shooting the ball initates play.

The game awards all points earned by the player. If the spinner is turning and scoring when the ball hits a target, the spinner and the target scores are awarded.

When the ball enters the outhole, the bonus score is added to the total score. The player-up and/or ball in play on the back box is advanced one position. The outhole kicker serves the ball allowable number of balls per game (adjustable). At this time the "Game Over" light is lit. If the match feature is enabled, a random "match" number appears and the "match" light is lit. If the number is the same as the last two digits in a player's score, a free game is awarded.

Extra balls won during the course of the game are played immediately after the player's regular ball enters the outhole. The player-up and/or ball in play on the back box are not advanced for extra ball play. Bonus score is added to the player's score before the game serves the extra ball for play.

Scoring over 1,000,000 gives "High Score to Date" award. At the end of the game, a 'High Score to Date' is alternately flashed with all 4 player scores. If the 'High Score to Date' is beat, this feature wards free games.

Tilting the game results in loss of a ball. The flippers, thumper-bumpers,etc. go 'dead.' Bonus points are not scored. The purpose of the tilt penalty is to discourage the player from jostling the machine in an attempt to prolong play. Game action becomes normal after the ball kicker assembly serves teh ball to the shooter aley.
