How the game works and what to check
Distinguish a bubble’s type from its position
Big Ocean Jackpots uses rising bubbles that can have Wild or jackpot value. Two screens with the same bubble count need not offer the same opportunities when bubble type, reel position and remaining movement differ. Keep those observations separate when recording a machine.
Verify the current machine’s bubble movement, expiry and award rules. Record the active bet and denomination alongside the whole layout. Do not assume a Big Ocean bubble has the same value or lifecycle as an Ocean Magic bubble just because both displays use rising objects.

Separate the visible fact from the inference
Big Ocean Jackpots builds on the familiar floating-bubble concept: bubbles remain on screen and move through the playfield over subsequent spins, with some carrying wild or jackpot value.
The number, type and position of persistent bubbles currently visible on the screen.
A bubble close to a useful landing position is not equivalent to one that is several spins away or poorly aligned. The geometry of the screen is part of the state.
Record bubble type, vertical position, reel alignment, bet mode and progressive values. If multiple bubbles are active, evaluate the combined state rather than only the largest-looking bubble.
How the bubble state works
Bubbles rise through the reel area one row at a time and can remain visible between player sessions. Different bubble types can interact with reel symbols to award wild effects or jackpot-related value.
Common mistake
Do not treat every visible bubble as guaranteed value. A bubble still needs the required reel interaction before it pays.
Machine checks
- Prove that the display changes across play and survives a player transition.
- Separate decorative animation from a state that changes future value.
- Pass when persistence, eligibility or reset behavior cannot be verified.
