The reason why is because this single bubble rises up to the second or third row from the bottom and expands to nine spots if an OM symbol connects. I am very confused by your chart because the value of a bubble also depends on where on the Reel it is located.įor your example of a bubble on Reel 3 only, it is worth the most when it starts on either the bottom of the reel (but not below the reel) or on the second row from the bottom.

The question for the poll is what do you think the expected value of the next spin with a bubble on the next spin on reel 3 only in regular mode? That is fine, I welcome all comments at this point. I suspect some will say my values of bubbles are too low. It doesn't factor that the positive state can last for multiple spins. The following tables is for the value of a bubble and total return for the next spin only. For multiple bubbles, you should not add the increases in return, as there is a strong interaction effect. All that said, here are some preliminary results on bubbles in any given reel.

That means, that if I run it for millions of spins, it will average to a 90% return. This is a complicated game so my confidence level in my results thus far are not very high. I have created a simulation of the game as best I can, based on industry norms and observation of the game. Okay, the question I'd like to put forth to the forum is what is the value of a bubble in any given position. If the player has wilds only on a payline, they will pay as the Logo symbol, what I call OM in the pay tables above. To add yet another twist, the pay table is different between normal and Bubble Burst mode. However, these extra expansion bubbles are temporary and don't rise on the next spin. So, if a bubble hits a Logo in the middle six positions, it will expand to nine bubbles. In the Atlantic City play, the games started with bubbles in reels 1 and 4 and were in Bubble Burst mode.Īnother important rule is that if a bubble hits what I'll call the Logo symbol, it expands to every position on the screen next to it, including diagonally. As with regular bubbles, they bubble-up one row at a time. In Bubble Burst mode, randomly extra bubbles will burst onto the screen. The second I'll call the 'Bubble Burst' mode. To make matters more complicated, there are two modes to the game.
