Wild Mermaid (Reef of Riches) — Advantage Play Guide
Type of play
- Must-hit-soon / “bonus meter” state play based on remaining breakable tiles. You’re targeting machines that are close to triggering the tile-completion bonus.
How the advantage works (quick)
- Each of the 20 symbol positions on the 5x4 reels has a “tile” behind it.
- Tiles break from: line hits, scatter hits, or random breaks from the pirate character.
- When all 20 tiles are shattered, the game immediately enters the bonus.
- After the bonus, the tile count does NOT reset to a full 20; it resumes with a random number already broken (sometimes a lot, occasionally even the whole 5th reel).
