AP Checklist
- Start with the fast scan: Progressive $292+
- Unfortunately, due to the slow (and inconsistent) meter, this isn’t a super lucrative machine. Assuming the MHB triggers at a completely random point between $100 and $300 (which I believe it does), only 4% of the time will it ever reset to a potentially playable situation. So finding a play on this game will be a rare occurrence. That said, the game is easy to check, so it’s worth glancing at as you make your rounds.
Exit Rule
Walk away after the progressive hits, or if it drops back below your play-at number.
