Video mode is the only real strategy if you want to a 75% chance to win.<br>
It's not automatic though either. Don't hate the playa, hate the game. I<br>
hate GB and will video mode every time. Horrible game.<br>
<br>
But seriously, that's the way the game is designed currently. If you can't<br>
get more points in modes, then why would you try and play modes? If you<br>
can, more power to you, it's your choice how you want to play a game.<br>
Personally the way it drains SDTM, flippers are too wide, and little side<br>
rails causing balls to jump into out lanes; players should be able to<br>
utilize the game's features to maximize their points. Playing modes with<br>
the draininess of that game is asking for little points, but if you want a<br>
small % chance for really big points (that aren't even really needed in that<br>
game otherwise we wouldn't be talking about two video modes winning games),<br>
then take a chance and go for modes and MB. You want 80-120 million points<br>
with a higher % chance to win a game then go for video mode; that should be<br>
a player's prerogative.<br></span><span class="">
