Play Rakin' Bacon Triple Oink San Shen Zhu

Three pigs, three colours and three separate bonus effects give Rakin’ Bacon Triple Oink San Shen Zhu quite a lot to keep track of before the first oink has even settled. AGS builds the game around 243 PowerXStream ways, coloured Coin prizes and Red, Green and Blue Pig Bonuses that can activate alone or in combination. Extra spins, reel growth and multipliers provide the main feature set, with the grid potentially expanding to 3,125 ways when the pigs get particularly industrious. 

Rakin’ Bacon Triple Oink San Shen Zhu gives the established pig characters an East Asian makeover, surrounding them with deep reds, gold detailing, decorative knots and red envelopes. The three pigs themselves wear colour-coded outfits, making their relationship with the Green, Red and Blue bonus mechanics immediately readable. 

The presentation has considerably more going on than the average farmyard pig slot. Traditional decorative elements and the palace-like setting push the game toward a celebratory Chinese aesthetic, while the cartoon pigs keep things light rather than ceremonial. It’s an unusual combination, but one that works better visually than yet another pig standing beside an overflowing vault. Among similarly playful online slots, the colour coding also serves a practical purpose because it helps distinguish which feature is active or still waiting to be triggered. 

Regular PowerXStream wins run from left to right across adjacent reels, starting with the first reel. The game begins with 243 ways and can expand to 3,125 ways through the Grow Reels Feature. Awards are also affected by how many matching symbols appear on each reel within the winning combination. 

• Gold Coin Symbols can transform into Red, Green or Blue Coins and carry potential prizes determined partly by their reel position. 
• Coloured Coin Symbols are connected to the three Pig Bonus features and may activate the corresponding bonus effect. 
• Gold Bonus symbols can appear on reel 5 and potentially award one of the game’s jackpot prizes when included in a qualifying Coin win. 

Coin Prizes 

Gold Coins can appear across the reels and transform into one of three colours. Coin prizes depend on where they land, with higher potential values available toward the right side of the grid. The Coin system works separately from standard symbol combinations, so potential Coin awards can be added alongside regular PowerXStream wins. 

For a Coin prize to qualify, the required coloured Coin combination must begin across reels 1 and 2 before continuing through adjacent reels. Gold Bonus symbols may also appear on reel 5, where they can introduce Mini, Minor, Major or Grand prizes into an eligible Coin combination. 

Pig Bonus System 

The Red, Green and Blue Coins are also linked to matching Pig Bonuses. One active bonus awards 5 extra spins, two simultaneously active bonuses award 7, while triggering all three starts the round with 9. 

The colour combination determines which mechanics begin active. A Red Pig Bonus activates Grow Reels, Green activates Extra Spins, and Blue activates the Multiplier Feature. Two-colour bonuses simply combine the corresponding mechanics, while the Green, Red and Blue Pig Bonus begins with all three active. 

Features that are not initially active may still be triggered during the bonus when the relevant coloured symbols appear. When this happens, the newly unlocked mechanic remains available for the rest of the feature. Each individual mechanic can only be activated once per bonus. 

Extra Spins Feature 

The Green Pig Bonus activates the Extra Spins mechanic. A Green Bonus symbol is added to reel 1 and changes into either a +1 or +2 Extra Spins symbol at the beginning of applicable spins. 

When Green is combined with another Pig Bonus, the same mechanic begins active from the start. In bonuses where Green is initially absent, a qualifying Green symbol can potentially activate Extra Spins later while also adding further spins to the round. 

Grow Reels Feature 

The Red Pig Bonus expands all five reels to five positions high, increasing the number of PowerXStream ways from 243 to 3,125. 

Associated pig symbols also take on their bonus form. After participating in a qualifying PowerXStream win, these symbols can transform into coloured Coins, tying the regular symbol system back into the Coin Prize mechanics. For players familiar with feature-heavy online casinos, this is the sort of bonus where several systems can end up interacting during the same sequence rather than operating as isolated extras. 

Multiplier Feature 

The Blue Pig Bonus activates the Multiplier Feature and adds a special symbol to reel 5. At the start of each spin, a multiplier of x2, x3 or x5 is randomly assigned. 

That symbol can substitute in a Gold Coin win. When it does, the total eligible Gold Coin prize is multiplied by the displayed value. The mechanic can run alongside Grow Reels and Extra Spins when multiple Pig Bonuses are active, which is where the three-colour system becomes substantially more involved. 

Rakin’ Bacon Triple Oink San Shen Zhu starts each paid spin with five reels and three visible positions, producing 243 ways to win. PowerXStream combinations pay from the leftmost reel across adjacent reels, and the payout is influenced by the number of matching symbols appearing on each reel within the combination. 

Grow Reels can change the layout to five rows across all reels, increasing the available ways to 3,125. That means the slot doesn’t simply add a side feature during the bonus; it alters the underlying reel structure as well. 

Much of the game revolves around overlap. Regular symbols produce the basic wins, Coins introduce their own prize structure, and the three Pig Bonuses determine which reel modifications are active.  

The pig theme gives this one a fairly obvious family tree, though the Chinese styling narrows the field a little. 

• Rakin Bacon Odyssey: The most natural comparison, returning to AGS’s cheerful pig characters with cash-focused mechanics and plenty of porcine enthusiasm. 
• Greedy Fortune Pig: Another wealth-obsessed pig from Pragmatic Play, playing on with a similar Chinese aesthetic. 
• Great Pigsby Megaways: Relax Gaming puts cartoon pigs at the centre of a classic novel, making the theme much closer than the mechanics. 

There’s a point where a slot containing three pigs, three coloured bonuses, transforming Coins and an expanding grid could easily become a small administrative exercise. Rakin’ Bacon Triple Oink San Shen Zhu mostly avoids that because the colour coding makes the relationships relatively easy to follow. 

We particularly like the way the three core mechanics can arrive in different combinations. A five-spin single-colour bonus feels quite different from reaching the nine-spin version with Extra Spins, Grow Reels and Multipliers already running together. That gives the bonus system some genuine variation without needing half a dozen unrelated side games. 

The theme is harder to call original, since both cartoon pigs and Chinese-inspired slot imagery have had lengthy careers of their own. Combining them at least gives the game a more distinctive personality than either theme might manage separately. We wouldn’t call the pigs subtle, but subtlety probably left the building around the time the third brightly dressed pig arrived.
