Rich Little Piggies — AP Overview
AP Checklist
- Start with the fast scan: Blue pig 24+ free games
- 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.
Exit Rule
Walk away if you don't hit the free games bonus quickly — this game can swing hard even when the meter is high.
