I’ve had my Ship Ahoy for 3 years now and just switched it to Novelty mode a couple weeks ago for the first time. I’ve only had the opportunity to play it a couple of times, so I’m not 100% on everything it does...
Of course the AAB function is disabled, which I believe converts the light box advance from counting wows, to counting up to 1,000,000.
I think the #1 rollover is permanently lit for special, awarding 50,000-plus 5 whacks from the knocker.
I’m thinking that lit rollovers are 10,000 plus one knocker.
Honestly, so far I’ve been too focused on playing to keep track of exactly what’s going on. I know that the knocker goes crazy the whole game and I was able to surpass 1,000,000 with 5 balls. I’ve had a blast so far with it.
