Some slot machines keep progress between players. Start with the exact game title and its rules, not a guess about whether the machine is hot or cold. These terms describe features that can overlap on the same game.
A must-hit-by feature has a stated trigger limit. Check the specific game's wording, qualifying bet and reset rules. A maximum prize label alone does not establish a must-hit-by trigger. A guaranteed trigger does not guarantee a profitable session.
Some games retain collected symbols or other bonus progress. Confirm what actually carries over and which bet setting it belongs to. A partly filled display is a reason to check the rules, not proof of an advantage or a guaranteed next result.
Mystery describes how a jackpot is triggered; it does not tell you whether a must-hit-by limit exists. Some mystery jackpots also have stated must-hit-by limits. Check the exact game's rules and displayed limits instead of treating the two labels as opposite categories.
Identify the exact title. Confirm what the meter or collection means, whether it carries over and which denomination or bet it applies to. After a jackpot or bonus, check which features actually reset. Do not assume an earlier qualifying condition still applies.
