Does Not Illustrate: Pinball Scoring

"NUMBERS, NUMBERS EVERYWHERE!" screams the caption on this image of Crimzon Clover, which doesn't even look like it's an example of the trope.

This is about Scoring Points Rank Inflation. Pinball games do it so often that it's (evidently) worth calling it "pinball scoring", but it also refers to games besides pinball.

Current, which is certainly better than nothing:

Suggestion? I made the caption less shouty.

Would there be a way to get just the screen itself at a larger size, without the kibble on the sides?

The second one here could be cropped.

At 350:

Doesn't look like the score counter in that is very high, though. Numerically at least. I have no idea what those (presumably japanese) symbols in between the numbers mean. No extra zeroes at the end either.

If the trope is only about adding extra zeroes at the end, and nothing else, first, lots of examples are wrong, and second, the description is way overinflated. It's really just about a ridiculously inflated scores to the point where the lower numbers are functionally meaningless (or used specifically for something else, but that's in my opinion a compound score, and different trope).

Anyway, does #5 count as a quality swap?

(I believe the gaps between the numbers are just the large-number dividers, which I think it 10000 in Japanese, but 1000 in English.)

Clock is set.

I like the bigger version just fine.

Clock's up; locking for inactivity. No action is to be taken based on this thread.
