Piggy Riches Megaways

The title is a bit of a giveaway, so you shouldn’t be surprised to find that the slot is themed around chubby little piggy banks and all the riches they could bring. The design is cartoon-based, and my favorite character has got to be the snazzy pig in a top hat and tails, sporting a mustache and looking rather like the Monopoly man.

This snappily dressed guy stands in as the slot’s Multiplier Wild, and he’s joined by several other symbols. The least impressive are definitely the A, K, Q, J and 10 royals, but even these have been given the opulent ‘rich piggy’ treatment, gilded in gold and jeweled tones. Players will also find the obligatory piggy banks, purses bursting with cash, pig-shaped keys, gold credit cards, and sacks of gold coins across the reels. A glamorous lady pig is the game’s Scatter, and she’s definitely inspired by Sesame Street’s Miss Piggy with her coiffed blonde hair and bright lipstick.

The grid sits on a backdrop depicting an elegant looking house, complete with manicured lawns and water feature. The overall effect is a good looking slot, improving on the original but retaining much of its charm.

The pig-tastic slot definitely has the potential to deliver big wins, but this probably has little to do with the Megaways feature. The lure of the game comes down to rewarding features and a mighty bonus game. Here’s how it all comes together.

The Megaways make this an interesting slot when it comes to pay outs and win potential. There’s a strong multiplier influence that really helps to boost totals. Triggering the free spins game will almost certainly see you walking away with a tidy sum. That being said, the game’s 10,000 x top prize (which could mean a win of up to C$100,000 at maximum bet), despite being very tempting, won’t exactly be easy to come by. That doesn’t matter so much since it’s highly possible to pick up multiple smaller (but still decent) wins along the way.

I should point out that considering the slot’s high volatility, the rather low cap of C$10 on the maximum bet was a surprise— and not the good kind. And on the topic of volatility and nasty surprises, let’s talk RTP. As a game with high volatility, Piggy Riches Megaways can prove a bit risky to play, but that just comes part and parcel with the chance for big wins. What was less acceptable in my eyes is the game’s RTP of 95.71%, which is actually lower than the average — especially in the Megaways category.
