Unlike other pinball games which offer a variety of different tables and a limited number of balls to play those tables, you only have one ball available in this game. And this unique ball travels all over the different tables (approx. 85 tables), because it is the goal to always make it to the higher table by opening an exit (after meeting certain requirements) and leaving the current one. The ball cannot drop any lower than to the lowest starting table, the only way is up. Hence the name "Mile High Pinball". On the last table the "Overseer" must be defeated in order to gain the title "Pinball Wizard".
