Raise the Sails & San Xing Riches Advantage Play Strategy

Raise the Sails and its companion, San Xing Riches, feature three progressive free games meters—bronze, silver and gold. When a bronze, silver or gold symbol lands, it increases the corresponding free games meter. The free games are triggered when a collect symbol lands in the fifth reel, along with one of the bronze, silver or gold symbols. These aren’t must-hit-bys, so it is completely random when the progressives actually hit. Therefore, this is an extremely volatile game.

• Flames appear on the free games meters once they reach the average number that the progressive hits at. A higher number doesn’t mean it is more likely to hit though.

• Money ball symbols (cash-on-reel prizes) land on the reels, but they are only awarded when a collect symbol lands in the fifth reel. The money balls can contain the minor and major jackpots in addition to credit prizes.

• During the free spins feature, bronze plays at 243 ways, silver at 1024 ways and gold at 3125 ways. Extra collect symbols are added to the fifth reel, so you have a greater chance of triggering the money balls during the feature.

• San Xing Riches is a clone of Raise the Sails. The playable numbers are the same, but the free games meters are called shou (blue), fu (green) and lu (red) rather than bronze, silver and gold.
