Zhao Cai Zhu Yo Ho Hog: Become A Pirate in Ming Dynasty China and Loot Four Different Jackpots

The Zhao Cai Zhu Yo Ho Hog slot by IGT is a story about Chinese pirate piggies, who are offering treasure chests with up to 1,000x prizes. Join them and collect expanding wild coins, three different scatters, and free spins with four different Jackpots. Here’s what sailing this old-school IGT sea brought me. 

The game is played on a 5x3 grid with 25 paylines, and winning symbol combinations during the base game are improved by random expanding wilds. 

Let’s just say that the base game was nothing too fancy. The lower symbols chained small wins under 1x every few spins, and the expanded wilds helped me get up to 3.20x and even 15x from time to time. It doesn’t sound bad in theory, but in reality, I was slowly losing my balance. 

Additionally, the expanding wild coins can randomly grant the Pig a Prize feature, which lets you pick between pig coins with different values, but also the jackpots, until the collector symbol appears. 

To trigger the 10 free spins, I had to land three scatters. The last scatter that drops has three different colors: red, blue, and green. Depending on the color, there is a different number range of pigs that will drop down on the grid to create upgradeable frames with cash values; the purple being the weakest and the blue being the strongest. 

I managed to trigger the green free spins quite early in my session, with 43 pigs. The win was just enough to justify the session, really, with a nice 76.06x payout. It didn’t end here, though. Soon enough, I triggered the same green free spins with 48 pigs and cashed out a mega win of 142.16x my bet. 

In between free spins, I got to trigger the Pig a Prize feature as well, which did not grant me any jackpots but at least allowed me to improve my balance even more, with a 41.56x win. 

As you might have noticed, I have really enjoyed playing this slot in the second part of my session. While the base game didn’t provide enough payouts to keep my balance in check, the bonus features did the trick, closing up my gameplay session in a nice manner.
