Game: Money Island — Advantage Play Guide (when_to_play)
Type of play
- Progressive free-games meter overlay (+EV thresholds)
- Mini (orange) and Minor (blue) meters can climb high enough that triggering them is +EV.
- Maxi (purple) is not a recommended play.
- Sticky-wild persistence (“Winner’s Wave”) scavenging
- Wild coin(s) landing in reels 2–4 during base game can persist for 3 spins (timer resets to 3 if another wild coin lands).
- This creates frequent, low-cost opportunities with occasional big upside.
What to look for (quick checks) A) Active sticky wilds
- Look above the middle reels for “Winner’s Wave” and the spins remaining.
- Also look for any wild coins already sitting on reels 2–4 (and sometimes 4/5 depending on state).
- Note: You must check each bet level separately—sticky wilds and meter values can differ by denom/bet.
