[1] An interpretation of "Peter Gunn" is used as the primary background music, with portions of "Theme from A Summer Place" playing during certain modes.

If the machine's internal clock reaches 12:00 am while a game is in progress, it is interrupted for "Midnight Madness," a 4-ball multiball with an extended ball saver in which all targets award 3 million.

The player scores points and/or receives items based on the following combinations: Shooting the left orbit when it is not lit for a Taxi Chase diverts the ball into the jet bumpers, each of which corresponds to a different reel.

When the lane is lit and the player shoots the ball into a saucer at its end, the game offers the option to bet or pass.

The player can shoot any of the three short center ramps to ride an elevator up or down within Tony's Palace or exit at the current floor.

Unlike clues, evidence items do provide information that can be used to narrow the pool of suspects (e.g. a set of cufflinks, suggesting that the killer is a man).

After a floor is visited, a bank of three stand-up targets rises to block the ramps; all three must be hit to lower them and access the elevator again.

This mode can be started in three different ways: Three balls are put into play, and the sewer, roulette lane, and Mystery target all award jackpots when hit.

Doing so scores the points, closes the case, and starts a four-ball multiball with all major shots lit to collect the hurry-up value.
