As you flip through each bet on Prize Pool, don’t pay much attention to the gold squares. Something like this would be a huge risk, even on min bet, because it’s just so hard to land those gold squares:

If you wanted to chase four or more golds until the number dropped to three, I’d bring 800x the bet at the very least. Even then, that’s a big gamble and is not how you’d play this game the vast majority of the time.

Instead, you want to primarily look for reds and purples while hopefully not having too many blues on your board. So as you click through each bet, if you see at least six reds and purples combined, spin until that number falls below six. This would be the more basic strategy.

This game doesn’t offer a huge edge and can sometimes cost you 100 spins or so.

To get awarded anything above, you need four or more prize pool symbols. Free games, which aren’t all that hard to hit, can also help quite a bit. Here’s an example of something I’d play:

There’s some debate about this game. If another pro I know hits free games, he stops playing almost every time. That runs counter to almost every other slot I’ve played, but I figured I’d mention it.

The same pro also suggests the following: “Generally, the green, purple, and red should total at least 100x the bet, and I prefer having seven or fewer blues.”

Let’s see if my example above meets those criteria: 2.00+17.50+2.50+4.50+4.50+3.50+7.00+2.00+3.00+4.50+7.00=58.00/0.60=96.7. And notice I have eight blues. According to him, that’s a very close non-play. If you want to follow this more precise calculation for all potential plays on this game, that wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Here are my videos for Prize Pool (note: I was using the more basic strategy). That said, moving forward, I would suggest trying to be a bit more mathematical with this and going with the 100x goal referenced above.
