(all disclaimers implied unless actually stated). 

(Blatantly copied from supplied rule sheet. This is a picture of the playfield with numbered descriptions for each of the modes. The sheet is three pages long. Bally/Williams/Gottlieb please pay attention. This is much nicer for a tournament than a copy of your playfield rule card "Shoot the blinking light, put in more money").
