Matching order versus unordered selection
There are number products that have their own order or position requirements. Read the rules before adjusting the numbers on your own note. Both sets cannot be assumed to be the same eligible combination if the sequence is important. Keep the original product format in the comparison and use the exact matching definition.
If there is an order requirement, sorting by numbers may delete important information. Record the original sequence along with the game identity.
- Order requirements
- Original sequence
- Matching definitions
Do not use an unordered comparison if the product requires a sequence.

Do not use an unordered comparison if the product requires a sequence.
Prioritize the rules screen itself and current operator conditions. If there is an unclear unit, trigger or scope, don’t make assumptions.
