The game keeps three Award Score Levels. They are set using the Self Test switch (modes 1, 2, and 3). If an Award Score is set to zero, there is no award given. Otherwise, the award is controlled by the DIP switches (Switch 6) or the Award Score Override (Self Test mode 17). The current Award Score (0, 1, or 2) is shown in the Player 1 score box.
During game play, when an Award Score Level is crossed, the player receives the award (extra ball or credit). For tournament scoring mode (when available), the Award Score Levels will be ignored.
In these three setting modes (1, 2, and 3), the scores are changed with the Credit/ Reset button. Pressing the button once increases the score by 1,000 points. Pressing and holding the Start button will gradually increase the score. Double-clicking the Start button will return the given score to zero.
The Award Score Override (Self Test mode 17) can be set to 0-7, or 99. A value of 0-7 overrides the setting of the DIP switches to award either an extra ball or a credit for the given score. A value of 99 turns off the override so the DIP switch (Switch 6) setting will be used.
