COIN COMBO
HOW THE ADVANTAGE WORKS
WHEN TO PLAY
- Coin Combo: Hurricane Horse / Perfect Peacock features persistent wilds that randomly appear on reels three, four and five. The wilds move up one row every spin until they move off screen. In Hurricane Horse, the wilds are purple Chinese characters. In Perfect Peacock, the wilds are blue peacocks that say “WILD” on them.
WHEN TO PLAY
- Do not count any wilds on the top row because those will be gone next spin.
- Two wilds in the middle reel.
- One wild in the middle reel, with another wild in the fourth reel.
- Two wilds each in reels four and five.
Additional notes
- There are other similar games in the Coin Combo series—Carnival Cow, Marvelous Mouse and Terrific Tiger—but Hurricane Horse and Perfect Peacock are the only two that offer any kind of advantage.
- The wilds appear frequently (they shoot out every few spins), so it is common to find plays on this machine.
- Other APs will play any wilds in reels three and four, but I think the game needs to be played tighter than that because the line hits just aren’t that great (much of the game’s payout goes toward the jackpots and bonus features).
- Ignore the bowls that fill up with gold coins—having more coins does not mean you are any closer to hitting the bonus feature. The game instructions state, “the accumulation of coin over time in bowls is for presentation purposes only.”
