Editor take — Lucky Monkey. Use animal fortune on a 96.50% CAD panel at 1,000×. Take Lucky Lucky for fortune hub at 1,000× / ~96.50%. Take Caishen's Gold for Caishen gold at 300× / ~96.56%. Skip 888 Dragons unless that is the cash tile.
Stake and table limits for Lucky Monkey are operator-specific in CAD. Set a session cap before you open the game, then confirm 96.5% on the cash panel — not the demo tile.
