I CANNOT figure out the math. Can you help?
Pick an Elephant that covers a "reward" in the Jade Elephant slot bonus feature. You have three picks. There are 18 Elephants, then 17, and then 16. Among the bonus "rewards" are stacked wilds for reel 2, reel 3, and reel 4. (During the bonus spin, reels 1 and 5 will be random symbols.) If you pick one elephant at a time, what is the probability of picking these three "best" buttons giving you stacked wilds for reels 2, 3, and 4? (Only one button each exists for the three reels stacked wilds reward.) Thanks!

It sounds like 3/18 * 2/17 * 1/16 = 1/816. Unless I'm misunderstanding the problem...
