GENERAL INFORMATION
-------------------

The JACKPOT is a score counter which is built up by all participating players 
during the game. It is reset each time a Jackpot is awarded to a player.

Many of the lights on the tables have letters on them which enable special 
features as follows:

XB - Extra Ball              JP - Jackpot
DB - Double bonus            xM - Score x million points
SB - Score bonus             5x - Score 5 times feature points
HB - Hold Bonus              MB - Bonus Multiplier
x/xK - Score x thousands

A flashing light is often a hint as to where you can raise your score and 
collect the bonuses.

At the end of your game the last but one digit of your score will be shown in 
the panel. Random numbers will then be flashed across the panel and one will be 
selected. If your number matches the random number you are awarded an extra 
ball and can continue play from where you left off.
