How the game works and what to check
Start with the documented Lobstermania 4 / Shrimpmania 4 feature
Lobstermania 4 Link and Shrimpmania 4 Link use loot meters above the reels that collect value from treasure-chest events and remain visible between players.
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
Lobstermania 4 Link and Shrimpmania 4 Link use loot meters above the reels that collect value from treasure-chest events and remain visible between players.
The loot meter state above the middle reels plus the linked progressive values.
Do not treat all partially filled loot meters as equivalent. Their positions, remaining distance and the surrounding progressive state can differ.
Read each loot meter separately, check the live link values and verify the active bet level.
How the loot meters work
Treasure-chest events can feed value into reel-specific loot meters. When a meter fills, the game can award one of several feature outcomes.
Two layers of visible state
The machine combines persistent loot-meter progress with linked progressive jackpots. Both can be elevated relative to their reset state.
The visible Lobstermania 4 / Shrimpmania 4 signal only matters after bet, denomination, ownership and reset rules are confirmed on the installed game.
Machine checks
Every meter level, associated award, qualifying symbol, bet ownership and reset. Preserve the starting state and immediate post-award state whenever possible.
Public-source note: no durable IGT rules page was linked for this review. The machine help screen therefore remains the rules reference.
