The default meter displayed for each denomination is almost always the minimum. What you do is put in a dollar or even better a change ticket that’s less than a dollar. Method #3 is the proper way to check for plays. You may not find any advantage plays to hustle & it can be very costly to go through an entire bank of Buffalo Link slot machines. Method #2 is an attempt to work around this by putting enough money to cover all bets at all denominations & spinning each bet one time. Therefore, you’re only checking 20% of the meters. Because no money is in the machine, you cannot go through each of the betting options. One is to simply touch each denomination available 1, 2, 5, 10 & if available 25c. I’ve seen hustlers & semi-aware customers check for plays on Buffalo Link 1 of 3 ways. Now as far as the actual checking for plays goes, this is what will separate you from the amateurs. Upon hitting it you will be awarded either the buffalo hold & spin feature or the free games. Play until the must-hit by bonus is triggered. Accept that you’re going to get sunk for a good chunk of change & go on rough losing streaks with a fair amount of regularity. Really volatileġ200+ = Ok play but welcome to Volatility City. A little volatileġ500+ = Good play, a bit rare to find & volatileġ300+ = Decent play, expect regular ups & downs. 1600+ = As great as you can expect to find.
