Top Up Fortunes
Light & Wonder · Persistent Reel Expansion
How the game works and what to check
Start with the documented Top Up Fortunes feature
Top Up Fortunes uses reel-expansion states that can remain elevated for a window of spins, so taller reels can represent inherited feature value.
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.

Separate the visible fact from the inference
Top Up Fortunes uses reel-expansion states that can remain elevated for a window of spins, so taller reels can represent inherited feature value.
Current heights of the expanding reels and how many active spins remain in the expansion window.
Do not assume maximum reel height automatically means the feature is positive EV without considering remaining spins and bet cost.
Read each reel's height and any visible remaining-spin counter. Confirm whether the state persists when a player leaves.
How reel expansion works
Feature symbols can increase reel height for a temporary multi-spin window. Reels can build from their base size toward a larger maximum.
Why taller reels matter
More reel positions can improve ways/line coverage and create more opportunities for bonus or wild interactions, depending on the exact theme.
The visible Top Up Fortunes signal only matters after bet, denomination, ownership and reset rules are confirmed on the installed game.
Machine checks
Height of every reel, remaining active spins, bet required for the feature, persistence and reset. Treat the exact machine help screen as the controlling rules reference and preserve both the starting state and the immediate post-award state whenever possible.
