Game Rules

Strategies

What are the main strategies?

JINNI ZEALA's main strategies are:

1. The five bonus stages, including ZEALA MULTIBALL
2. The FLYING HAREM stage

To get through these stages and make big scores, you 'll need to use two kinds of QUICK MULTIBALL.

To start QUICK MULTIBALL, just shoot a ball into either the Palace Hole or the Oasis Hole a set number of times. For example, sink the ball five times for the first QUICK MULTIBALL.

Palace Hole

Oasis Hole

Then QUICK MULTIBALL gives you a big bonus---right?

Wrong. It gives you access to the Bonus Stages, which enable you to score big points with multiple balls in play. It works the other way, too: You can trigger MULTIBALL from a BONUS STAGE (which you reached after triggering Multiball, and so on). -to be continued to the next page, Bonus Stages.

Do you have to play the Bonus Stages one at a time, in sequence?

No, you can play them all at the same time. You can even play them and Quick Multiball all at the same time.

Doesn't that get confusing, with so much action?

Yes. :?)

How do I get to the FLYING HAREM BONUS STAGE?

Complete all five Bonus Stages, then see the Fortuneteller.

Gee, it's a long way to go... is it worth it?

Of course! This is where you can score the ultimate bonus: the HAREM JACKPOT, whose value is determined by your scores in the five previous Bonus Stages. Have fun, and remember: Tranquilizers are not included.
