The fifteen lit billiard balls in playfield center go out individually as scoring hits are made. Each time all balls are made (completing a rack), a point is scored on the backglass billiard ball display and the playfield balls all light up again. This repeats throughout game play. Up to twenty-five "rack points" are tallied on the backglass in this way. Replays are awarded for achieving high rack point levels as well as for regular high scores (operator adjustable).
