Quoted from phishrace:... the goal is to tilt the game just before it rolls at 4.2 something billion.
Hm. I'm guessing they're using a 32-bit integer to hold the score, then, because 32-bit unsigned integers roll over at 2^32 = 4,294,967,296.

I've rolled my Swords of Fury countless times; in fact, I set the high scoreboard to reset after every 250 plays (the minimum value it can be set to) and my goal is always to fill the scoreboard with 9,999,999 before it resets, which isn't that hard; sometimes I fill it two or three times over. Just recently I managed to roll it twice in one game for the first time. It was the last 7-digit machine Williams made which doubtless is why it's easy to roll.
Haunted House is pretty easy to roll as well; I've also rolled my Laser Cue (which displays it on the high scoreboard as 9,999,999 like the System 11 7-digit machines), but I have it set on 5 balls/game.
