Built by Bally in 1993 as part of the SuperPin widebody series and based on the comic character Judge Dredd, this machine is packed with ramps, magnets, modes, and one of the most chaotic multiballs ever made.

Pinball Machine Features
Judge Dredd is a widebody machine, which means:
- Larger playfield
- More shots
- Bigger multiballs
- More chaos
Major features include:
- Rotating Deadworld planet with magnetic ball crane
- Planet ring ball lock system
- Sniper Tower mode start
- 6-ball multiball
- Regular game and Super Game start options
- Captive ball “Meltdown” feature
- Crime Scenes progression
- Left ramp combo scoring
The Super Game option immediately starts you in a 2-ball multiball. If you complete the JUDGE targets while still in that multiball, you earn the massive 6-ball multiball and go for jackpots.
The District 82 Judge Dredd plays tough, rewarding controlled shooting and smart mode stacking.
Gameplay Crash Course
Judge Dredd is a mode-based game with layered scoring. Here’s how to approach it strategically.
Lighting Locks and Multiball
Completing the JUDGE targets lights locks at the left ramp.
The hole behind the “D” safely spots JUDGE letters, making it one of the safest and most valuable shots early in the game.
When multiball starts:
- The left ramp lights the jackpot behind the D.
- Controlled left ramp shooting becomes critical.
If locks are lit, the mode start shot is always the Sniper Tower, so pay attention before shooting modes accidentally.
Pursuit Mode
During Pursuit, watch the display carefully. It tells you which ramp to shoot in order to destroy the car and complete the mode. Shooting the wrong ramp wastes time.
Left Ramp Looping
Continuously looping the left ramp can award 500,000 points repeatedly during the ball. If you can control that shot consistently, it becomes one of the safest scoring patterns on the machine.
Meltdown and Bonus Management
Completing the Meltdown captive ball during normal play awards Double Bonus.
If you’ve played multiple modes during a ball, this can significantly increase your end-of-ball payout.
If you’ve made strong progress through modes and bonus buildup, avoid tilting at all costs. Protecting your bonus can make the difference between a good score and a great one.
Super Game Strategy
The Super Game option starts with a 2-ball multiball immediately.
If you complete all JUDGE targets during that opening multiball, you’ll earn the 6-ball multiball. This is one of the fastest ways to big scoring — but it requires control under pressure.
This is not an option during tournaments but it's a lot of fun on your own!
Skill Shot Control
After a successful skill shot, if the drain shield is still active, you can intentionally drain to attempt a second skill shot. There is no grace period, so this must be done carefully.
