Jili quietly confirmed its April 2026 release calendar last week. 7 titles will hit PH operators between April 15 and 22. HOYY's game desk has pre-selected 3 for 15,000-20,000-spin benches starting April 16.
What's dropping (all 7)
- Lucky Coming (April 15) — spiritual successor to Money Coming. 97.0% certificate, tumble-reel mechanic. HOYY benching.
- Dragon Ball Quest (April 17) — 5×5 cluster-pay, 96.5% certificate, heavy bonus-buy reliance. HOYY benching.
- Zodiac Fortune Pro (April 19) — 12-symbol zodiac theme, 96.0% certificate, low volatility. HOYY benching.
- Monkey King's Treasure (April 20) — existing IP re-skin; we're skipping.
- Rockin' Jili Night (April 21) — music-themed, small pools, not our market fit.
- Pirate Ship Adventure (April 21) — similar to existing Pirate King; not a priority.
- Spring Festival Coins (April 22) — seasonal limited, 30-day lifespan.
Why we pre-bench just 3
Two reasons. Lucky Coming is the closest thing to a flagship Jili has released in 6 months, and Money Coming is one of our top-scored Jili titles, so we want to know fast whether the sequel holds up. Dragon Ball Quest's cluster mechanic is different enough from standard reels that it deserves dedicated volatility measurement. Zodiac Fortune Pro is interesting because low-volatility Jili is rare — most Jili slots cluster high-volatility, so a 96% certificate at low variance is genuinely new.
The other 4 titles are either re-skins or niche themes. We'll revisit them in May if community feedback warrants.
What we're looking for in each bench
Lucky Coming: does observed RTP hold ±0.6% of 97% certificate over 15k spins? Is the bonus-buy path reasonable (> 96% observed) or a trap (< 95%)?
Dragon Ball Quest: cluster-pay volatility often misrepresents — we'll clock 90-percentile session range and max-win frequency to tell players what to budget.
Zodiac Fortune Pro: is low volatility real or marketing? Session-standard-deviation under 1.5× would confirm.
