Dragon Link — AP Overview
AP Checklist
- Approach the Dragon Link bank and read the four progressive values (Mini, Minor, Major, Grand) on the top box or overhead display.
- Note the denomination displayed on the machine — this determines the seed values.
- Compare each tier to its seed/reset value; the larger the gap, the stronger the EV contribution.
- Check all Dragon Link variants and locations across the floor — different banks may have very different progressive states.
- If occupied, note the values and return later — players often leave machines in elevated states.
Exit Rule
Walk away after the hold-and-spin bonus triggers and pays out. Progressive tiers reset to their seed values after payout — the advantage is gone.
