is there a way to always pick the 3 mice?
[edit note 9/26 - the mouse positions on the reels indicates an unchanging mouse outcome]
pretend this is the reels before the mouse game
x x x x x
m x x m x
x m m x x
this means the mice will be in holes.... oops I already forgot
it must've been holes 1 3 5, hmm
ok I'll run with this theory now!
and report back in later
======================================
[edit note ok I was completely wrong!]
======================================
(edit note sept 25 2024) I think I figured it out
depending on the total amount in the bonus, that determines where the mice are
and that's a fixed table, which means lets say it's about 11 mil total then the mice are always in the first 3 slots
1 2 3 x x
so the table of mouse positions has as an index the total gold in the bonus
but how can you know how much you got in the kitty?
by getting it wrong you can estimate how much is in it still by adding the amount unclaimed
I don't know if this table thing is 100% correct
but the best thing to do is when you get all 3 mice correct, record which positions they are in, and the amount you claimed
so like 150 million, it's always 1 2 3 x x
110 million, it's always 1 x x 4 5
90 mil x 2 x 4 5
(maybe) I'll check back in when I get more data
but I did get it right at least a dozen times in a row, so it could be correct
