    Flippers (2), Pop bumpers (3), Slingshots (2), Standup targets (8), Kick-out holes (2), Spinning target (1), Star rollover (1). Wedge head. Sound: 3 chimes, knocker The "X" targets and "X" rollovers light one at a time and only when a lit one is hit does another one light up. Hitting a lit "X" target or rollover lights up an "X" on the playfield WOW table. Scoring the star rollover lights the green target to score an "X" on the WOW table when hit. Unlit kick-out holes score one "X" or, when lit, can score two or three "X's" depending on the last rotation of the spinning target. Completing the WOW Table lights WOW targets to score 100,000 or 500,000 or 1,000,000 depending on whether the spinning target lit the bowling lane multiplier for 1, 5, or red. Kick-out holes now score 100,000 points when unlit, or 200,000 or 300,000 when lit. To highlight the potential million-point awards, the backglass separates the million-point score reel from the other score reels. Exceeding 9 million on this reel lights a silkscreened 10,000,000 Super Score indication on the backglass.
    ipdb.notes
    The add-a-ball version of this game is Nordamatic's 1975 'Champion (Add-a-Ball Model)'. This replay version has these differences from the add-a-ball version: � has chimes instead of biri-biri. � the green target in upper right playfield scores Special. � cardholder shows the word 'flipper'. � backglass has a replay window instead of a 'Previous High Score' area. � has no add-a-ball setting. In a game pictured here, the "Millions Score" reel in the backbox steps from 0 to 9. Nearby, the backglass is silkscreened to show a Super Score of "10,000,000" but there is no socket wired to the hole in the insert through which a bulb would illuminate that number. We don't know if this was an error for this particular game or was intended for all replay games in the production run. This replay version was described and pictured in Pinball Wizard magazine, where the author stated it had no add-a-ball feature. The game play description in this listing is based on the replay game described in the magazine article. No mention was made in the article regarding the awarding of replays and no score card was evident in the pictures there. The playfield has some design elements found on Gottlieb's 1975 '"300"'.
