1. Nice Ipse Dixit, as usual.
2. Hex 3 are getting nerfed in my neck of the woods.
3. Thunder Valley nerfed their Hex 3 a few months ago. Those nerfs at TV made chasing Reel 3 more expensive but DID NOT change the cycle time of getting the last milestone. This nerf makes chasing Reel 3 nearly impossible.
4. The meter movement is 6 cents per 5 spins ($4.00 on $0.80 game); this changes the economics. The progressive resets at $113 (at $0.80). That means the $113 / $2K coin in floor value is no other valid. The $2K number implies 2,500 spins, which was the longest recorded cycle for this “new” version of Hex 3. 5.8K spins > twice previous 2.5K high watermark.

This person who plays Hex 3 pegs the spins to get a milestone at 1K to 2K. 5.8K is clearly outside the bounds of 1K to 2K, stochastics notwithstanding.
5. This is a PSA since I wrote the original insight on this game on this website. Mickey (make shit up) Crimm has stated on this forum numerous times they don’t change bonus slots.
Here’s one of MC’s many dumb quotes / posts on this subject matter:
The real retard is the one that believes slot machines don’t get changed. Slot machines were being retrofitted / changed as early as 1989 (they got changed to due regulations but don’t tell this to Mickey Crimm).
“Nearly 10% of Nevada’s 122,000 slot machines are being retrofitted after a decision by gaming authorities that players were being misled by a “near-miss” feature into thinking they were about to hit jackpots.“

Here is my point: I have been warning on this website / forums that bonus slots get changed. Mickey Crimm tells people they *DON’T* change bonus slots.
This is a PSA about Hex 3. You are more than welcome to ignore this PSA.
