Designed by George Gomez in his first pinball machine since Deadpool, James Bond 007 takes players on an international espionage journey. Across six assignments, James Bond gets help from the gadgets of the Q Branch as he takes on a wide variety of villains and henchmen.
Rules Overview:
- Many different skill shots to go for, try holding in the left flipper and going for any of the purple shots that light.
- Villain modes start by shooting the right ramp 3 times. Changed via the bumpers and the yellow Goldfinger target near the side ramp.
- Henchmen modes start by shooting the side ramp, once the first time but more shots are required subsequently. Also changed via the bumpers and Goldfinger (yellow) target.
- Spell SPECTRE by shooting the targets behind the rocket to light the Goldfinger target near the right orbit for SPECTRE weapon hurry-up. The three weapons on the left side of the circle are most valuable. Time your shot well to select the one you want.
- Progress through the game enough (ie. hit bumpers, spinners, etc. enough times) to light DB5 for Q Branch. Some Q Branch modes transition into 2-ball Multiball if won. They also light the upper loop for Bond Women, collect as many as you can then press your action button for multiplied scoring.
- Bird 1 Multiball - shoot the green drop targets then the center loop to lock 3 balls and start it. Get three shots from the upper flipper at the start to extend multiball; when two balls drain, it will automatically restart!
- Jetpack Multiball - left eject lights the left ramp to start it. Shoot the center loop, then five shots for jackpot, then left ramp again for 2x jackpot and the subsequent roving shot (or drop the ball from the jetpack on Prem / LE) for super jackpot.
- Play 1 villain, 1 henchmen, and both multiballs to light right ramp and left eject for “Bond, James Bond” mini-wizard. Shoot all shots twice and then the side ramp for super jackpot, within 70 seconds.

- The hurry-up can be tripled with a shot to the side ramp.
(In future code updates:
Mini-wizard mode will be added after all Henchmen modes.)
SPECTRE Weapons:
Complete the SPECTRE targets to light SPECTRE Weapon countdown modes that can be started at the Goldfinger target. Each shot to the rocket lane spots a SPECTRE letter that hasn’t been collected yet. Each SPECTRE Weapon corresponds to a different countdown mode - wait for the lit weapon to cycle to the one you want before shooting the target.
(SPECTRE Weapon countdowns cannot be stacked with multiball modes. Also, progress towards either multiball cannot be made during any countdown mode.)
- Troublesome Tarantulas (Dr. No): The side ramp and right ramp are lit for a 10M hurry-up that counts down over 15 seconds. Shooting any lit shot ends the mode. Side ramp scores 2x the value.

- Bath-O-Sub Bash (Diamonds Are Forever): Left ramp, rocket lane, right orbit, and right ramp are lit for a 10M hurry-up. Once a hurry-up is collected at any shot, the next hurry-up is worth 10M more than the previous one. Mode ends after collecting all four hurry-ups.
(In future code updates:
SPECTRE target completions will increase the base jackpot for Bird One Multiball.)
Q Branch & Gadgets:
Q Branch can be qualified at the DB5 eject by making certain shots enough times. There are six gadget modes, two single-ball modes and four that transition into multiballs, and a mini-wizard mode for playing them all. Single-ball modes are timed (60 seconds).
The base jackpots for Q Branch modes start at 3M. In certain modes (excluding Attache Case), they can be built by shooting other shots on the playfield as described in each mode’s section. Combine these multiballs with playfield X for big points.
Progress towards lighting Q Branch can be made during the game’s various modes, but not during either multiball.
(Q Branch modes that transition into 2-ball multiball are mutually exclusive and cannot be stacked with any other modes.)
-
Radioactive Reconnaissance (Dr. No):
- Qualified by scoring enough bumper hits.
- 40 seconds.
- Take control of the Geiger Counter. All shots excluding the upper flipper shots are lit yellow during the mode for 3M, and a random shot scores 35M if made as the first shot (scores less the more shots you make before shooting it).
- After you shoot a shot, the Geiger counter will react via a reading on the display and an audio cue to let you know how close you are to the main award shot.
-
Attache Case (From Russia With Love):
- Qualified after six shots to the right orbit / helicopter. The three circle inserts at the right orbit will show qualifying progression.
- 60 seconds.
- Make five shots to reveal the components of Q’s attache case. The first and third shots are at the right orbit, which will always divert to the bumpers during this mode, and the second and fourth shots are randomly determined by the bumpers. The fifth shot will always be at the right ramp.
- Making the fifth shot starts Hunted by Helicopter 2-ball multiball. Shoot all lit shots two times each for jackpot / double jackpot; one shot is lit white for a triple jackpot and can be toggled by the bumpers. Making all lit shots lights the side ramp for the super jackpot worth the jackpot total, ends the multiball, and returns to single-ball play. Jackpot value is 3M and seems to be increased via bumper hits.
-
DB5 (Goldfinger):
- Qualified after three shots to the DB5 eject. Progress is carried across balls.
- 40 seconds.
- Every shot to the left orbit and the DB5 eject reveals one of the amenities Q has provided for Bond in his signature vehicle. The left orbit shot can be requalified by shooting the eject, and 6 total shots must be made to complete the mode. Spinner hits increase the jackpot values scored during the following multiball by 10k per spin.
- On the sixth shot, DB5 2-ball multiball will start. All shots are lit to score jackpots and light the DB5 eject for a double jackpot; making the lit shots from left to right will score double jackpots as well. Score all possible jackpots to light two more triple jackpots at the two upper flipper shots, then score the super jackpot at the DB5 eject worth the jackpot total to end the multiball. Jackpot value is 3M + any increases from the spinner prior.
-
Power Pack (Thunderball):
- Qualified after three shots to the left eject. Progress is carried across balls.
- 70 seconds.
- Learn about the jetpack from Q by shooting the left eject six times. Shooting the white arrow shots will increase the jackpot values scored during the following multiball by 1M + 250k per white shot made until the left scoop is shot again.
- On the sixth shot, Power Pack 2-ball multiball will start. All shots are lit to score either a jackpot or double jackpot, and will light the left eject to score a triple jackpot (this can be collected three times). Score all possible jackpots to light two more triple jackpots at the two upper flipper shots, then score the super jackpot at the left eject worth the jackpot total to end the multiball. Jackpot value is 3M + any increases from the lit shots prior.
-
Little Nellie (You Only Live Twice):
- Qualified after ? shots to the rocket. Strong shots to the rocket register as multiple hits, and progress is carried across balls.
- Learn about the helicopter’s capabilities from Q. First, shoot the drop targets to increase the jackpot value by 40k per drop target, and then shoot the right ramp to advance. Repeat this sequence five times, shooting the right ramp five times in the process.
- Making all five right ramp shots starts Little Nellie 2-ball multiball. Lit jackpot shots move around the playfield - score 7 of these to light the drop targets for 3 more jackpots, followed by a double jackpot at the rocket. After scoring three double jackpots, the side ramp is lit to score the super jackpot worth the jackpot total and end the multiball. Jackpot value is 3M + any increases from the drop targets prior.
-
Q’s Ring (Diamonds Are Forever):
- Qualified after ? spinner spins.
- 60 seconds.
- Test the electromagnet ring on slot machines by shooting the flashing blue shots. All nine shots must be made to win the mode for standard mode points (2.5M + 250k per shot). The final shot is worth 2x.
Bird One Multiball:
Shoot the drop targets to light lock at the lane to the right of the drop targets. On the Pro, balls are virtually locked, while balls are physically locked on the Prem / LE. Bird One Multiball starts as soon as the third ball has been locked. Subsequent Bird One Multiball attempts require the drop targets to be completed to light each individual lock.
During Bird One Multiball, all shots are lit green to score jackpots worth 1M, and collecting a jackpot briefly lights the two shots from the upper flipper for double jackpot. Once all jackpots have been scored, all of them relight for double jackpots; then triple jackpot after clearing all the double jackpots out. Once enough jackpots have been collected, shoot the rocket to score a super jackpot worth the jackpot total and relight the jackpots that were collected at +100k value. The maximum value of the super jackpot is 300M.
Bird One Multiball can be extended by collecting three of the quickly flashing double jackpots from the upper flipper. Once the player drains down to single-ball play, two more balls will be relaunched and the multiball will continue. Typical “add-a-ball” rules don’t apply.
(In future code updates:
SPECTRE target completions will increase the base jackpot value.)
Jetpack Multiball:
To light the left ramp to start Jetpack Multiball, a shot must be made to the left eject during single-ball play. Subsequent Jetpack Multiballs require additional shots to the left eject and left ramp to start. (Jetpack Multiball cannot be advanced or started during the 2-ball multiball Q Branch modes or during any of the SPECTRE Weapon countdowns.)
At the start of Jetpack Multiball, a hurry-up value will start counting down from 3M (+1M per Jetpack Multiball started). Shoot the center lane to score the hurry-up value and lock it in as the jackpot value that can be collected at all flashing shots (and release the ball from the jetpack on Prem / LE). After scoring 5 jackpots at any shots, the left ramp lights for a double jackpot worth 2x the jackpot value. The super jackpot can then be collected in different ways depending on the model:
- Pro: The super jackpot is collected at a roving shot, moving from the right to left side of the playfield (starting at the DB5) and worth 10M (+5M per additional super jackpot within the same MB). The jackpots at the major shots relight after scoring the super jackpot. Super jackpot also adds a ball the first time.
- Prem / LE: After scoring the double jackpot, the jetpack will pick up the ball. Shoot the Dragon Tank target while the jetpack is positioned over it to score the super jackpot, worth 10M (+5M per additional super jackpot within the same MB), and relight the jackpots at the major shots. Subsequent super jackpots require the player to direct the location of the jetpack using the flipper buttons. If the player fails to score the super jackpot, the left ramp will light to reload the jetpack for another attempt. Super jackpot also adds a ball the first time.
Other Features:
Playfield Awards:
Six areas of the playfield correspond to elements of the six films featured in the game, and count down towards awards after enough shots have been made to them. These are the bumpers (power plant), right orbit (helicopter), DB5 eject (DB5), left eject (power pack), rocket (rocket), and spinner (satellite). The awards are scored in the following order for each area:
- Super Jets (jets worth 100k for the rest of the ball, bumpers only) / Super Spinner (spins worth 100k for the rest of the ball, spinner only) / Super Rockets (rocket only)
- Light Q Branch (for the mode corresponding to the element)
- Power Plant Points (10M for bumpers, 20M for rocket) / Propulsion Power Points (20M for helicopter) / Passing Power Points (20M for DB5) / Power Pack Points (20M for left eject) / Polonium Power Points (20M for spinner)
Every hit that counts down towards an award also counts down towards lighting the upper loop for a Bond Woman. Progression towards Bond Women is kept separately from that of the other awards.
High Stakes:
Every even-numbered completion of the BOND return lanes lights the left scoop for High Stakes mystery award. As per usual, mystery awards are heavily weighted towards the most beneficial options, though other awards will be given out if none of the criteria are met. Possible awards include:
- Light SPECTRE Weapon (at the Goldfinger target)
- Bird One Multiball Lock (if lit)
- Bird One Multiball
- Advance Jetpack (if lit)
- Light Jetpack Multiball (completes two red inserts and lights the third)
- Jetpack Multiball
- Light Outlane Ball Save
- Advance Spinner (+3k)
- 007 Points (700,700)
- Bonus Multiplier +1x
- Hold Bonus
Bond Women & Playfield X:
Bond Women can be lit at the upper loop through the many playfield awards. The Bond Women progression is maintained separately from that of the other awards, such that each hit will also advance towards lighting a Bond Woman. Each method of lighting a woman will reset once playfield X has been used.
They are lit via:
- 25 bumper hits (or so)
- 3 right orbit shots
- 4 DB5 ejects
- 4 left ejects
- 10 rocket hits (strong shots register more)
- 200 spinner spins (or so)
Each solidly lit, collected woman will correspond to 10 seconds of playfield X that can be activated by pressing the action button. Each lit woman will add +1x to a maximum of 7x playfield, with an additional 30 seconds of ball save for starting 7x playfield. The lit women will also increase the playfield X timer by 10 seconds, from 20 seconds for 2x playfield up to a maximum of 70 seconds for 7x playfield.
Combos:
Making certain shots in quick succession scores combo points. The combo award starts at 100k + 25k x each shot in the combo sequence.
There are 20 unique combos corresponding to different 007 films, villains, henchmen, and Bond women, worth 2M + 125k per unique combo scored this ball:
| Name | Shot 1 | Shot 2 | Shot 3 | Shot 4 | Shot 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dr. No | Left ramp | Right ramp | |||
| From Russia With Love | Left ramp | Right orbit | |||

| Kissy | Center lane | Right ramp | |||
| Tiffany | Center lane | Side ramp | Left ramp | Right ramp | |
| Q Branch | Center lane | Side loop | Side ramp | Left ramp | Right ramp |
Outlane Ball Save:
5 shots to the Dragon Tank target light ball save at one of the outlanes, which alternates between outlanes with every slingshot hit. If one is already lit, then the target can continue to be hit to light the next ball save, which lights after the first one has been used up. One additional target hit is required to light subsequent ball saves.
The Dragon Tank target also determines whether or not the ball will enter the bumpers, as indicated by the flashing red light near them.
Extra Balls:
Left eject lights for extra ball after:
- Percentage-based number of upper loops (operator setting - usually around 3)
- Playing 3, then 6 of any mode
End-of-Ball Bonus:
One movie insert is randomly lit at the start of each ball. 100,000 is awarded for each mode started, 2 million for each mode completed or lit movie insert, and an additional 200,000 for progress towards the final wizard mode. All multiplied by the bonus multiplier which can be increased by completing the MI6 lanes, and maxes at 5x.
Wizard Modes:
"Bond... James Bond" Multiball:
The left eject and right ramp light to start “Bond… James Bond” Multiball after achieving all four of the following tasks:
- Start a villain mode.
- Start a henchmen mode.
- Start Bird One Multiball.
- Start Jetpack Multiball.
The goal of this 2-ball mini-wizard mode is to build the value of the super jackpot by shooting everything. With 70 seconds of unlimited ball save, and all switches scoring 100k, the player must shoot 10 lit shots (worth 2.5M or 5M for side loop shots) to light the side ramp for the super jackpot, worth the jackpot total and capping at 100M. Shots to the side loop count 2 shots towards this total. Once the super jackpot is scored, or time runs out, the mini-wizard mode ends and the player returns to single-ball play.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service:
TBD…
