IGT • Advantage Play Reference
Look at "ways to win" at bottom. Check reel heights — taller = closer to Luck Zone prizes.
3,500+ ways = Worth playing
Reel 3 at height 6+ = PLAY (progressive here!)
Any reel at 8 under BONUS = PLAY
Reel 2 or 4 at 8 under 20x+ prize = PLAY
Reels expand from 3 to 8 rows when horseshoes land. Taller reels = more ways to win.
When reel reaches height 8, it hits Luck Zone → awards prize → resets to 3.
Reel heights persist between players! Find tall reels = close to prizes.
Black cat (reel 3) = PROGRESSIVE. Moves ~1 position per 1,900 spins!
Example: Finding a playable machine
☝️ R4 at 8 = hitting Luck Zone! R3 at 6 = progressive close!
