Quoted from UNCgump:

I've got an Indy 500 and love it. Do you have strategy tips or favorite approaches, large or small? I find this game to be richer and richer in the strategy department the more I play it.

The biggest strategy that can lead to the most points is stacking 3x Playfield with your main Mulitball. Left orbit to turbo can lead to some nice points also. Starts at 10 million and and goes up 2 million each time you make it. When you start pit stop MB via right ramp or mode shot. When right ramp is lit at the start, DONT shoot it. Time it out so the only jackpot is the left orbit. This allows you to mainly concentrate on the left orbit. If you start the modes “Dueling Drivers, and “Go for the Pole” hitting the launch buttion spots you once shot

Also when your in your main MB, never put all three balls into the turbo. This awards a 1 time jackpot of only 60 million, but if you have two balls in the turbo, your regular jackpots are worth like 70

Quoted from mollyspub:

Whats the first shot do you guys go for ? Is it always the left ramp/ skill shot?

Nope, skill shot is worthless. Left orbit should be your first shot. Or if scores are low, pass over and shoot right ramp to start “go for the pole mode”
