RICH LITTLE PIGGIES
HOW THE ADVANTAGE WORKS - (Hog Wild / Meal Ticket)
WHEN TO PLAY
- Rich Little Piggies features three progressive free games features—a blue pig featuring an increasing number of free games, a yellow pig featuring a chance to win the jackpot prizes and a red pig featuring either guaranteed wilds (Hog Wild version) or a feature where the lowest paying symbols are removed from the reels (Meal Ticket version). Players land blue, yellow and red coins that build up the features on the corresponding pigs. The pigs get fatter and fatter as the features build up. The progressive features are triggered randomly and are not must-hit-bys.
WHEN TO PLAY
- Blue pig with at least 24 free games regardless of the size of the other two pigs.
- Blue pig with at least 22 free games if the yellow pig is fat.
- Blue pig with at least 20 free games if the yellow and red pigs are as fat as the blue pig (they will all be squished together).
Additional notes
- Uncapped progressives like these are extremely dangerous and volatile. Since the features aren’t guaranteed to hit by a certain point, you can end up just digging yourself into a deeper and deeper hole. I know a guy who lost $2,000 chasing a blue pig that ran into the 50s. For this reason, I don’t even bother checking these machines. And most APs I am friends with avoid this game as well. It’s also rare to even find plays in the first place, since most ploppies will chase any pigs once they start to get fat.
- Unless you trigger one of the pigs quickly, your only hope of turning a profit is if you trigger two or three of the pigs at the same time. This isn’t impossible, but if it doesn’t happen, then you will take a big loss.
- As the pigs get fatter, they are not any more likely to hit.
- The free games on the blue pig is capped at 100. It’s not guaranteed to hit once it reaches that number—it just won’t increase beyond that.
- The jackpot free games (yellow pig) can pay extremely well when combined with a built-up blue pig.
- If you trigger a yellow or red pig without triggering blue, then it defaults to 7 free games.
- There are variants of this with same basic strategy. (Rich Little Hens, etc.)
