We now have a functioning must-hit calculator, which can be seen here. I am not nearly tech-savvy enough to build such a thing—I’m not sure if the creator wants me to name him, so I won’t yet—but from everything I can tell, it looks and works great. For info on how to use it, scroll down to the bottom of the page where it has “how to use this.” If anyone notices any issues with it or has questions, let us know.
This will be great for all must-hits out there: River Dragons, Eagle Bucks, Coin Kingdom, Triple Golden Panther, Mustang Money, and so many more. Any slot where you can input the starting point, the must-hit point, the current point, and how fast the meter rises will be fair game. Further, this calculator has a “two-meter mode,” so we can input two must-hits to get more exact numbers on risk and whether you should play at all.
I will be traveling starting tomorrow, but when I get back next week, I’ll likely build some individual game pages for some of these more common aforementioned must-hits.
We also moved the “Fake Advantage Games” post up to the top of the screen since it’s such an important aspect of slotting these days. It has the name “Fake AP Slots” up top, and it will be continually updated. It’s between “Games” and “FAQ” in the section at the top of the screen (Nav bar). The calculator, named Must-Hit-By Calculator, is up top between “Slot Strategy Guide” and “Message Boards.”
Otherwise, I plan on updating the existing post on Ultimate X Gold quite a bit in the weeks (and possibly months) ahead. I knew it was a complicated game, but I learned yesterday from the top UXG player in the world that it’s much more complex than I could have ever imagined. In other words, what I have currently is a very rough framework that will get almost fully reworked.
