THE BASICS
What does the number on Money Balls mean?
On the original Magic Treasures games, that number is part of what you are playing for.
On the original single-pot Magic Treasures Dragon and Tiger games, the Money Balls counter shows the size of the Money Balls feature when it arrives. The count can be left behind when another player leaves.
That is why someone may be interested in the same machine at one number and walk away at another.
Which number should you check?
The current reference lists 12 or higher as a yellow entry, with 14–15 preferred. Yellow means you need to be willing to take a loss. The number does not promise that the feature will arrive quickly or pay well.
Use the game page for the current entry and version notes. These numbers apply to the original single-pot games; the newer multi-pot versions need their own rules.
