Type of play
- Must-hit/“state” vulture play based on the reel wild feature. You’re looking for machines where wild reels are about to activate or are already active.
How the advantage works (what you’re exploiting)
- Each reel has coin holders above it. When a reel’s holder fills, that reel becomes wild for the next 2 spins.
- Your edge comes from stepping in when one or more wild reels are active (or about to activate), especially on reels 1–3 where they most impact line hits.
What to look for (quick floor checklist)
- Reels 1–3:
- Two of the first three reels are 1 coin away from filling (about to become wild).
- Any active wilds on reels 1–3 (reel shows a glowing gold border; coin holder shows 1–2 coins).
- Reels 4–5:
- Active wilds on both reels 4 and 5 (strong late-reel boost).
- Special spot-play: reel 4 active with 2 spins remaining AND at least one of reels 1–3 is 1 coin away.
