Here is the trick to getting a 250+ mil score. Get all the lights lit for DOD. Collect the DOD super jackpot (usually for at least 25+ mil). The key is that once you hit the DOD SJP, you get 2x scoring for the rest of that ball. Then get into Jericho. Complete Jericho IN THAT BALL at hit the Jericho SJP with 2x running. Its a chore to do this, but it will get you over 100 mil as an award for the Jericho SJP. I have done it once and my score was 263 mil.

That's what I thought too. A pinsider was over at my house and was having an epic game. Got the DOD SJP and then the Jericho SJP all on one ball. When he hit the Jericho SJP it showed the score for the SJP (100,000,000) and the text for the score wrapped a bit over the DMD. We were both like "holy shit! how did that happen!" Checked the rules and found the 2x multiplier after DOD SJP.

I then played the crap out of my IM for the next week or so. It was like a mission to try to get it for myself. After a lot of sweaty palms and some epic swearing, I got into a zone in one game and pulled it off. Great feeling.

I am not that great of a player at all. You just need some luck, a lot of continuous time on a game, and as SKB says, to get in the right zone.

Love the red RobT. Awesome color that goes great with the machine. And I agree that I generally don't like coin doors that are chromed or colored, but that looks great.

I vote for lolipop ones all day long. The others, even though they do not cover the side art, make it look unfinished.

Epic score RobT!

The key to getting 200+ mil scores is to cash in on the DOD hurry up. That gives you the countdown score, but it also, importantly, gives you 2x scoring for the remainder of that ball. Then, if you complete Jericho in that ball, you get the 100+ Jericho SJP.

A trick / key to getting huge scores on Ironman is doing things on 1 ball. What i mean is, if you collect the DOD hurry up, that doubles all scores for the rest of that ball. Thus if you then get into Jericho and finish it in that same ball, you get a monster double SJP. I have done it once.
