1. Look for longest path you can clean with the current ball, keeping in mind transforming into the number on the card.

2. Prioritize having as many different number cards 2-7 available, as high up as possible. This means eliminating duplicates.

3. Always prioritize clearing 1 and 8, as they can only be cleared by one number each (2 and 7 respectively), compared to two for others.

4. Prioritize clearing lower levels before the upper levels, as you can use upper level cards to transform into balls for lower level cards, but not the other way around.

5. In the end game, prioritize having as many red cards available as possible. When you only have red cards available with none hidden, it's not possible to lose.

The ball you get when you spin the lever is a ball which can clear one of the cards on the board (including jackpot area). This includes both hidden and available cards.

For example, when you have one red card on the board, and keep spinning the lever, you only get balls which can clear that card.

1. Keep as large of a spread of different numbered cards available above the jackpot area. This ensures you will have transforms for the limited time window of jackpot area.

2. Use cards below the jackpot area to open jackpot as soon as possible.

3. Clear jackpot area with transforms from above the jackpot area.

4. When jackpot area clear, play as in classic variant.

Because of the one-shot attempt at the jackpot area, and because the ball RNG also considers jackpot area cards which you can't yet clear, prioritize opening jackpot area while clearing as few cards as possible.

This means you will get a more even spread of balls which can be applicable for available jackpot area cards.

When you for example clear all cards and only then open jackpot area, the chance of getting a ball that you need is only 2 visible jackpot cards / 8 total jackpot cards = 25%

After jackpot area is open, clear as many cards as possible above jackpot area while still ending up with a number that can clear a jackpot card.

For example, number 3 ball, normal cards 2 and 3 and jackpot card 4: 3 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4.
If you don't do this, you might run out of balls.

After jackpot area is done, play like classic mode.
