I’ll get a much more in-depth page going for Electro Max early next week when I get back from my trip, but for now, I’d play with any of the following (may slightly tweak as I’m writing the page):
- Two of the three meters one spot away from the top. So two of them at three places high. (Your photo would be more than good enough, even though that’s a demo screen.)
- Seven spots filled among the three. For example: three green, two blue, two purple. (The demo photo has eight spaces filled.)
- Any time you see a “recharge” if that color is three spaces high. For example: the blue is three spaces high with a recharge. (The photo does not have a spot with a recharge.)
- If there’s a “recharge,” I’d play if five spots anywhere on the screen are filled. (The recharge is pretty clear when you see it; it is orange/gold in color and sticks out from the rest.)
It’s possible to set off multiple features at once, which is when you can really make money. It kind of reminds me of Wish Mistress in a way (another great game).
Here’s IGT’s video of Electro Max, where it shows how the different features work. This is not the kind of game you’d get killed on if/when you do lose, but losses also won’t always be minuscule. It’s in that “yellow” tier: could lose 20-60 bets at times. I’m sure there are rare cases when it’s more if you keep resetting different vials and get underwhelming features.
