Type of play (what you’re exploiting)
- Must-Hit-By (MHB) meter chasing across three separate bubble meters, plus occasional “vulture” plays from bubbles already sitting on the reels.
- Core mechanic: bubbles rise 1 position per spin. If they reach the top unpopped, they feed the MHB meters. If a bubble lands on an Ocean Magic symbol, it pops and turns adjacent symbols wild, then that bubble (and any bubbles it expanded into) disappears—so bubbles you “need” can get removed before they reach the meter.
What to look for (quick identification)
- Three MHB meters above the reels:
- Lagoon (green) = reels 1–2, hits at 60
- Ocean (blue) = reels 3–4, hits at 50
- Reef (red) = reels 5–6, hits at 60
- Bubbles already on the board, especially:
- Top row bubbles: effectively “already counted” because they will feed the meter next spin unless popped.
- Multiplier bubbles (up to 20x): count as that many bubbles toward the meter when they feed in.
- Jackpot bubbles (Minor/Major): always worth playing.
- Mode check on the bet pad:
- Bubble Boost vs Non–Bubble Boost. Entry points are “theoretically” the same, but Non–Bubble Boost accumulates slower and pays double on symbols (so on-floor, leftover-bubble vultures are more valuable there).
