Type of play
- Must-hit state / cycle-completion play. You’re buying the remaining spins of an 8-spin cycle when the stored wilds (and/or near-complete bonus/jackpot symbol meters) make the expected value positive.
How the advantage works (what the machine is doing)
- The game runs in repeating 8-spin cycles.
- Spins 1–7: you “collect” wilds (stored, not used yet) and also collect bonus/jackpot symbols.
- Spin 8: all collected wilds are randomly placed onto the reels for that spin (they don’t stack on each other). This is where most of the value is realized.
- Collected symbols thresholds:
- Bonus: needs 3 symbols.
- Mini/Minor jackpots: need 4 symbols.
- Major/Grand jackpots: need 5 symbols.
