Jon Hey created the music and sound which includes a new arrangement of the Pin-Bot theme previously composed for Williams Pinball by Chris Granner.

Pressing the EXTRA BALL button can also activate various cheats if done properly, such as Pin*Bot changing the results of a dice roll.

[citation needed] Pressing the EXTRA BALL button during attract mode activates a message on the dot-matrix display, which reads, "In memory of Joe Joos, Jr.," who had died a year earlier; the display then tells the player a brief biography on Joos.

As in the original Pin-Bot, the plunger launches the ball towards a spiral ramp known as the Vortex, which has a top, middle, and bottom section.

Hitting this target randomly draws a card to add to the player's total (starting from zero), with the goal being to reach 21 (as in blackjack) or get as close as possible without busting (going over 21).

As in the original Pin-Bot, the machine has a visor that begins the game closed, and a 5x5 grid of lights underneath it, colored yellow, blue, orange, green, and red, in that order.

To open the visor, the player either needs to complete the grid by hitting the targets in any order, or by shooting the correct visor or side row target when the lights are initially flashing; the lights initially flash one column at a time, left to right, and then one row at a time, top to bottom.

In the latter case, opening the visor by shooting the correct target awards a 50 million point bonus (after this is done, however, the machine requires the player to open the visor each subsequent time by just completing all 25 lights on the grid in any order).

To start Multi-Ball, the player needs to lock both balls in the eye sockets of Pin-Bot.

Only one restart per Multi-ball is allowed, however; if this occurs a second time, the player has to start from scratch.

Twenty-five hits are needed to complete the card, which means a potential 1.5 billion points can be scored along the way.

(Also, the Cashier target stops relighting the Game Saucer; the player has to make actual ramp shots.)

Pressing the EXTRA BALL button repeatedly when it flashes gives the player an opportunity to cheat at the games, but this doesn't always happen.

If the player chooses to double, they have a limited time to shoot the ball under the left ramp and hit the Cashier target.

Doing so doubles the player's winnings; if time expires or the ball is lost, no points are scored for that game.

If the player takes too long to respond, the game will automatically pick the option to simply collect the bonus.

The Poker Targets, Keno awards, Casino Run, and Slot Machine can all light cards in this hand.

The slot machine wheels spin and reveal a random award: This is the hardest of the games to successfully cheat, but if done, Pin-Bot will slam the reels, and it will change to "Extra Ball Lit."

The game is based on the "Dice Game Wager" which begins at 3 million points, and increases by 100,000 points each time the ball makes contact with the bumpers located just below the mini-bagatelle playfield (known as the Solar Jet Bumpers).

If the player successfully cheats, Pin-Bot will simply flick the dice so that the result is always a 12, and announce, "BOXCARS!"

Shooting the Game Saucer trap or one of Pin-Bot's eye sockets spins the wheels.

Players can unlock an Easter egg by pressing the EXTRA BALL button when it flashes during the introductory sequence to Casino Run, and if successful, they will see a cow jumping over the Moon.

The game awards a credit at the end of its conclusion after the player enters their initials if they have the highest total Casino Run score to date.

The game also allows players to enter their initials if they have the highest Casino Run score to date.
