You’ll see Ocean Magic in many casinos, and you’ll be looking for something like this:

You can see the bubbles have the word “wild” imprinted on them. In this example, your next spin would have one bubble in reel one and one in reel two, easily meeting the minimum-play requirement for Ocean Magic.

It may look like zero in reel one and one in reel three, but remember that bubbles will move up one space every time you spin. So any bubbles at the very bottom of the board that aren’t even in full view will count for your next spin and those at the very top of the board will not be in play for you.

Therefore, something like this would be zero:

That’s how you’ll know when to stop spinning: when the bubble is at the top of the board and there are no others in reels one, two, or three.

The goal is to get a bubble to land on an Ocean Magic symbol, which will result in an expansion of wilds in one place in every direction. I get into why having bubbles in the first three reels matters in the videos at the bottom of this page.

Also, don’t worry about the bottom row of bets activating the “bubble boost” and the top row not offering that option. It just means that at random, bets on the bubble-boost row will add extra bubbles to the board. But because of that, the top row pays out more when it does hit. It all evens out, so it’s not anything you need to factor in when deciding whether to play.
