This means the bonus increases exponentially, rather than linearly like with most pinball games.

A few machines made by SEGA, most notably Last Action Hero, have a "Double Your Bonus" system where, rather than adding your end-of-all bonus to itself, it outright doubles it each time.Additionally, the entire playfield can have up to 5× scoring active, resulting in a potential 25× on each shot! Every major shot will display the points awarded, the multiplier applied to said points, and whether the multiplier came from a combo shot, your playfield multiplier, or both. Making combo shots will light certain other shots for up to a 5× bonus. Multipliers are prominently displayed at all times on the DMD on Game of Thrones.However, the multiplier is timed, and it does not apply toward Checkpoint bonuses for making the game's eight key shots.


The Lord of the Rings has the Jackpot multipliers during Two Towers and Return of the King Multiballs, as well as the 2× Scoring gift, and during Gollum Multiball, you can score twice (Smeagol) or half (Gollum) the value.In Capcom's Breakshot, all non-jackpot scores are multiplied by the number of balls in play.Superman has a variation: doubling the bonus requires getting the rollovers for 1-2-3, but tripling the bonus required one more digit, making 1-2-3-4.Sorcerer not only provides a bonus multiplier, but the player can also raise the playfield multiplier during multiball for even more points.The multiplier could be further increased by rolling over just two lanes bonus multipliers beyond 30× are not unheard of. Medieval Madness would start the player with a 5× (or higher) multiplier if he made the Skill Shot.Elvira and the Party Monsters increases the bonus multiplier every time B-A-T is spelled.Spirit of 76 would double the bonuses every time "1-7-7-6" and "1-9-7-6" was spelled.Gottlieb's Baffle Ball would double the points earned by a ball if it landed into a saucer of the same color, while shooting a ball into the "Baffle Point" would double the score for the entire game.Typically tied in to a Spelling Bonus, as hitting or rolling over all of the targets for a word would increase the bonus multiplier. Done with almost all Pinball games since the beginning of the genre.
