Advantage Slots

In this game and others like it (I ❤️Jackpots comes to mind), sometimes you find inflated minis and may want to take a stab at it. At this point, I’m looking for $50 or higher on the mini while min-betting ($0.60):

My video at that bottom went about as badly as it could have, but hopefully some principles can carry over to other underchecked slot machines.

If you do play this game, make sure you’re min-betting, as betting more than $0.60 will evaporate whatever slim advantage there might have been. The numbers you’re chasing don’t increase with the size of the bet, so bet the min and hope to hit the “bonanza” feature without too much agony. Here’s what that feature will look like, but keep in mind you’re not guaranteed to hit the mini during every Gold Bonanza feature:

After you hit the mini, it resets to $8 and the play is over. You also have a chance at the minor, so it’s ideal if that’s beefier than normal too. And you’ll have a minuscule chance at the major or grand.

Here’s my ridiculously long video of Gold Bonanza. Of note, I was playing this one too early, so just pretend that I started spinning once the mini reached $50. My “play” at $34.92 (albeit with a decent minor as well) was not good. Oops!
