The better player (if everyone has a unlimited amout of quarters) will
always win. When you get to the high levels (above 400,000 bonus starting
points), then the number of waves that you have to pass to start at a higher
level bonus level begins to widen almost exponentially. Level 81- first
green wave (I think) is the highest you can ever start at and to get to that
you have to pass about 10 invisable levels on one game. I like the way it is
setup... that is one of the things that make it so addicting.
