All 10 Methods, Ranked
Daily Reward Links
HighDaily (1-3 links)Official reward links published by Zynga through Facebook, Instagram, and email newsletters are the single best coin top-up per tap in Hit it Rich. Each link delivers 400,000 to several million coins instantly. Links expire within 24-72 hours, so claiming them the day they drop is important. Zynga typically posts through their official Hit it Rich Facebook page.
Tip
Check the daily links page each morning. Evening is also worth a check for same-day drops you may have missed. Following the official Hit it Rich Facebook page directly gives you the fastest notification when new links are posted.
Hourly Bonus Wheel
HighUp to 24x per dayHit it Rich's hourly bonus wheel refreshes every 60 minutes - faster than any other major social casino game. A player who collects 4 times per day earns 4x the hourly amount versus once-a-day players. The bonus amount scales with your level, making this source more valuable as you progress through the game.
Tip
Build a 3-4 times per day habit around the hourly wheel. Collecting when you wake up, at midday, in the evening, and before bed is sustainable and adds significantly more coins per week than a single daily collection.
Daily Streak
High (on day 7)DailyThe Daily Streak rewards consecutive daily logins with escalating coin amounts. Day 1 starts at approximately 2 million coins and scales to 20 million coins on Day 7. Missing a single day resets the streak to Day 1, so consistency matters enormously. The Day 7 payout alone is worth 10x the Day 1 amount.
Tip
Even on days you do not plan to play, open the app for 10 seconds to collect your streak bonus. The Day 7 cumulative value over multiple weeks is one of the largest free coin sources in the game. Do not let a streak break for convenience.
Welcome Bonus (New Players)
Very High (one-time)One-time on sign-upNew players receive 60 million free coins on first sign-up - a substantial starting reserve that allows meaningful exploration of the machine library before the coin economy tightens. Linking your Facebook or email account adds another 5 million coins on top of the welcome bonus.
Tip
If you are a new player, use the 60 million coin welcome bonus to explore different machine types at moderate bet sizes before settling on your preferred machines. This is your best window to find your favorites without depleting a hard-earned balance.
Rich Pass Challenges
Medium-HighDaily and weekly resetsRich Pass is Hit it Rich's battle-pass system with daily and weekly challenges. Completing challenges earns Rich Pass points, Treats for the Lucky Pet, and Weekly Chests containing coins, spins, and card packs. The Rich Pass system is the primary way to accumulate Treats, which activate the Lucky Pet's win-conversion ability.
Tip
Check your Rich Pass challenge list before choosing which machine to play each session. Many challenges align with normal play and completing them adds Rich Pass rewards on top of your regular coin earnings.
Level-Up Bonuses
Medium (per level)As you level upEach time your XP bar fills and you advance to the next level, Hit it Rich drops a coin bonus automatically. Early levels come quickly with frequent bonuses. Later levels require more play between bonuses but pay proportionally more. Level-up bonuses also unlock access to higher-tier machines.
Tip
Let level-ups happen naturally from consistent daily play. Playing at unsustainably high bet sizes to level up faster risks depleting your balance before the next level bonus arrives.
Rich Collections (Card Sets)
Medium (per completed set)As you complete card setsRich Collections card packs drop during gameplay. Completing a full card set awards bonus coins and rewards. Higher-tier card sets require rarer cards but pay larger completion bonuses. Card packs can also be earned from Weekly Chests in the Rich Pass system.
Tip
Trade duplicate cards with friends to complete sets faster. Many card sets can be finished significantly quicker through trading than by waiting for random drops during play.
Facebook Friend Gifts
Low-MediumDailyPlayers with a Facebook-connected account can send and receive free coin gifts with friends who also play Hit it Rich. Each friend can send one gift per day. With an active friend network, this adds a meaningful daily top-up that requires no active play.
Tip
Join Hit it Rich Facebook groups to find active players willing to exchange daily gifts. A network of 20-30 active gift-exchange friends adds millions of coins per week with minimal effort.
In-Game Events (Big Win Blitz, Vault Blast)
Variable (when active)Rotating scheduleHit it Rich runs rotating special events including Big Win Blitz and Vault Blast. During these events, bonus coin rewards are distributed for specific play milestones or outcomes. Event rewards can be substantial, particularly for high-bet players who can hit event-qualifying win thresholds.
Tip
Check the current event structure before raising your bet size for an event. Some events reward total spins rather than win amounts - in those cases, lower bets with more spins outperform high bets with fewer spins.
Social Account Connection
Low (one-time)One-timeConnecting your Facebook account or email address to your Hit it Rich profile awards 5 million free coins as a one-time bonus. This also enables cross-platform play, friend gifting, and account recovery if you change devices.
Tip
Connect your account immediately if you have not already. The 5 million coins are free and the account linking protects your progress across devices.
What Not to Do
Coin generators and hack tools do not work and will get your account banned. Zynga has no public API that allows third-party tools to add coins to accounts.
The other common mistake is ignoring the hourly wheel for days and then burning through saved coins in a single session on a high-tier licensed machine. The licensed IP machines are the most expensive to play sustainably - see the coin strategy guide for a bet sizing framework that keeps those machines accessible without depleting your balance.
