Type of play
- Must-hit/collection-state AP: you’re exploiting a partially completed “sapphire” collection meter. The closer it is to full, the fewer spins (and less cost) you’re likely buying to reach the payoff.
What to look for
- The sapphire board has 8 spots. You want machines where the board is already mostly filled.
- Primary targets: 7/8 filled (best), 6/8 filled (acceptable when options are limited).
- Check every available denomination on the same cabinet/configuration; the best state may be sitting on a different denom.
