Stack Up Pays & Ascending Fortunes Advantage Play Strategy

Stack Up Pays and its companion, Ascending Fortunes, feature five must-hit-by progressive free games meters. Rather than increasing the number of free games, each meter builds up the number of reel expansions that occur, which increases the ways to win on each of the ten free games. The mega (red) resets to 250 and hits by 350; the grand (orange) resets to 200 and hits by 250; the major (purple) resets to 150 and hits by 200; the minor (green) resets to 100 and hits by 150; and the mini (blue) resets to 75 and hits by 125.

• Be warned that this game is extremely high variance. The bonus payouts can vary wildly, so expect to take frequent losses. With a large enough volume of plays, you will occasionally get massive hits that will more than make up for your losses.

• Approximate average payouts:

  • Mega (red): 210 units

  • Grand (orange): 100 units

  • Major (purple): 60 units

  • Minor (green): 30 units

  • Mini (blue): 20 units

• There is a new skin of Stack Up Pays called Ascending Fortunes that plays exactly the same as the original. However, in some versions of Ascending Fortunes, the meter numbers are hidden and not displayed anywhere on the main screen or bet pad. The only way to determine the numbers is by referencing the position of the circles on the tracks above the reels. This is less precise, as you can only make rough estimates.
