UK Machine Record
Nitro Ground Shaker
Bally · 1978 · at 1 UK venue.
Nitro Ground Shaker is a Bally machine built around hot-rodding, speed and the world of customised cars. The game combines racing imagery with a relatively direct layout focused on fast shots.
The various ramps and targets create a sense of acceleration, while the game’s objectives reward repeated, accurate shooting.
It is a table about momentum. Keep the engine revving, hit the important shots and don’t let the car run out of road.

Strategy tips written by players on PinTips , not by Silverball. Best-voted first.
- General
The left saucer advances and scores bonus with a potentially repeatable feed. Shoot it over and over.
- General
Shooting the top saucer once lights the spinner on the right for 1k a spin. This can be a useful punch of points in a pinch!
- General
Shoot the holes! Upper saucer lights either right- or left-side bonus to collect at the left saucer, and Double Bonus if you're lucky.
