Ascending Fortunes
Incredible Technologies · Five Persistent Expansion Meters
How the game works and what to check
Start with the documented Ascending Fortunes feature
Ascending Fortunes uses five colored progressive-style sliders above the reels. Rather than simply building jackpot dollars, the meters accumulate reel-expansion value for the corresponding bonus.
Check that the game matches this guide. Read the help screen, note the bet and denomination, and check what stays on the screen after each spin. A different version may have different rules.

Read the number before the artwork
Ascending Fortunes uses five colored progressive-style sliders above the reels. Rather than simply building jackpot dollars, the meters accumulate reel-expansion value for the corresponding bonus.
All five Mini/Minor/Major/Grand/Mega sliders and how advanced each one is relative to its displayed range.
A visually near-full slider is not a universal play signal. The meters can have different feature values and different remaining ranges, and some machines make precise readings harder than others.
Check all five sliders, not just the top-tier meter. Confirm whether your machine shows exact numbers or only slider positions, then verify bet level and game machine setup before applying any strategy assumption.
How the five-meter system works
Public game research describes five separate colored meters. Matching scatter/jewel events add reel expansions to the corresponding meter, and the stored expansion pool is used during the associated Free Games feature.
Why the meters are useful state
The sliders persist between players, so an elevated meter represents already-funded expansion value that a later player may inherit.
How to frame Ascending Fortunes
The visible Ascending Fortunes signal only matters after bet, denomination, ownership and reset rules are confirmed on the installed game.
Machine checks
- Record the current value, displayed range and every other meter.
- Confirm the bet and denomination that qualify for the displayed state.
- Estimate remaining cost and observe the exact award and reset behavior.
