Rising Diamond — AP Overview
AP Checklist
- Start with the fast scan: Ways 7,776+ (with spins)
- 16807 ways.
- 7776 ways, with at least one spin remaining (this is displayed below the reels).
- The reels don’t expand until the next spin after the diamond symbol lands, so you can also play at 7776 ways or 3125 ways if there is currently a diamond symbol on the reels (even if there are zero spins remaining on the counter). If there are two diamond symbols, you can play at 1024 ways, and if there are three diamond symbols, you can play at 243 ways (this is rare).
Exit Rule
Walk away when the ways count drops back below 7,776.
