That said based on a comment Mickey made in passing it's apparently possible for the GE RTP to be set so low that the usual rules are not tight enough.
On the tighter GEs (RTP 85%), you'll (at least) want a coin in each of the 1st three columns, or a coin in column 1,2 and 4.
If one (or more) of the 1st three columns is wild for one or two spins,that's fine too. GE deserves a special place in gaming history as the most heavily vultured game in the history of vulturables.
I don't mean this in a negative way but can you back this up with par sheets or data?
With data but not with par sheets. I routinely play on GEs at a casino with very little competition - the slot machines there are uniformly set in the 85% range and the VP is in the 95% range of RTP. After hundreds of vulture plays on the GEs I have found that the configurations I mentioned above yield results. Please note also that the Wizard of Odds has an analysis of GE with RTP under the 85% assumption and he gives even looser recommendations than those I suggested above (which I disagree with based on hundreds of plays).
