Zhao Cai Zhu: Gettin’ Piggy With It / Yo Ho Hog Advantage Play Strategy

Zhao Cai Zhu: Gettin’ Piggy With It / Yo Ho Hog features three free games meters—red, green and blue. Each meter contains a number of pigs that increment in the meter when a lantern of the corresponding color lands in the fifth reel. Red starts with 25 pigs and hits by 100 pigs. Green starts with 15 pigs and hits by 60 pigs. Blue starts with 10 pigs and hits by 40 pigs. The meters all feature 10 free games. Over the course of the 10 free games, the accrued pigs jump down onto the reels and add frames to random reel positions. When a pig lands in a frame, it gets upgraded from purple to silver to gold to platinum (blue/diamond). When a collect symbol lands, the frames award prizes, with the more upgraded frames featuring larger prizes. A collect is guaranteed to land on spin 10, so you are hoping for the frames to get as upgraded as possible before any collects occur.

• The meters frequently hit early before their MHB number, so the equity on all three meters is important, much more so than the similar game Regal Riches.

• The value of the pigs is non-linear due to the prize upgrades, so a bonus with 40 pigs pays much more than double compared to a bonus with 20 pigs.

• The silver frames can award the mini jackpot, the gold frames can award the mini and minor jackpots, and the platinum frames can award the minor, major and grand jackpots.

• During the free games, if a pig lands in a frame that is already fully upgraded, it will award a prize equal to 10x the bet.

• During the base game, the Pig A Prize feature can randomly be triggered. The pick feature is predetermined, so your selections do not matter. The best strategy is to just tap through the feature as quickly as possible.

• The fattening gold pig and accumulating treasure above the reels are fake indicators and do not indicate that you are any closer to triggering a feature.
