I found Progressive Free Games at the Hard Rock in Sioux City, Iowa in July 2018. But they pulled the game a few days after that. But I got to figure out how they worked.

There was always an exact number of spins to flip the Free Games Meters. The ones at Sioux City would flip at 48 spins on the Red 2X, 175 spins on the Green 5X, and 600 spins on the Blue 10X.

The red meter started at 5 free spins, green 7, blue 10.

You could trigger free games in the screen by catching 3 correlating bonus symbols. But if the meter reached 15 spins without hitting in the screen you automatically got the 15 free spins with the multiplier.

So I figured finding a meter on 14 was a good play. And I did well with the game. Every play wasn't a winner but the winning plays out ran the losing plays to show a profit.

So what happened? Hard Rock pulled the game. I was like damn the luck. But I figured the game would start showing in other locations.

So it goes on for a month. I was in at least a few dozen casinos after that and I couldn't find the game. So I put a pic up on gambling Twitter (I had about 500 people following me at the time) and asked if anyone had seen the game.

It was three months after I found the game at Sioux City that I learned on Twitter that it first appeared in Las Vegas. So I gave these guys the countdown on the meters. The first thing they hit me with was I didn't know how to count.

The game in Vegas was taking a lot more spins than the ones I found. I got DM's telling me I made a mistake. I told them no, I didn't make a mistake. That I thought they found different configurations. And that's what happened.

Shortly after they appeared in Vegas I found them in Oklahoma. And they had better countdowns. The first I found had 45/120/550. Then I found a set that was 40/100/480. Then I found some in some high roller rooms that were 38/80/450. I still needed a 14 on the 10X but I could play the 5X on 13.

The worst ones I found were at CZR properties, 110/330/850. You can tell that guy on WoV to forget the ones at Harrah's Cherokee and Belterra. The problem with that 850 is you have to catch someone playing a 14 then count the spins they are making....then hope they get up. I have better things to do.
