Piggy Riches Megaways

Money makes the world go around. Sure, it can’t buy happiness. But it can buy just about everything else in life! NetEnt and Red Tiger Gaming team up to give us a taste of that high life.

This slot is actually a remake of NetEnt’s smash success, Piggy Riches, which came out a while ago. Red Tiger has given it a visual upgrade, and added Megaways to the formula. So let’s take a closer look and see how much that changes things!

Piggy Riches Megaways Slot Review

The game is played on a six reel board with a variable reel height. The maximum height each reel can reach is seven symbols total, allowing for a grand total of 117,649 ways to win. The visual upgrade is obvious if you’ve ever played the original. It’s not amazing compared to modern standards, however. We like the sprawling garden and the animated fountains. But compared to other releases by the same developers, and it’s clearly lagging behind.

Icon designs are a mixture of playing card royals and money-themed symbols. This includes piggy banks, a purse full of cash, keys to an expensive car, gold-plated credit cards, and a sack full of gold coins and jewelry. None of these icons really draw our attention. They fit the theme, but it just fails to keep us interested. Then again, we were never too fond of luxury themed slots, even if they’re done in a comedic fashion like Piggy Riches Megaways is.

Fortunately, the special features bring the whole thing back. There are two bonuses in total to look out for. The first is the stacked Wild, which can land on any reel and completely cover it. On top of that, these stacked Wilds come with a multiplier, that can increase your win by 7x. There’s also a free spins round, where the number of spins and the awarded multiplier is determined by a lucky wheel spin. You can increase the multiplier further during free spins.

How to Play Piggy Riches

You play this game on a six reel board, with each reel constantly changings its height. To win, players must collect three or more identical symbols in adjacent positions, starting with the leftmost reel. All wins must follow one of the currently active ways to win, or else the cash prize won’t be awarded to the punters. The jackpot for this release is 10,474x your total stake.

Bonus Features

Piggy Riches Megaways only has two special bonuses. That said, both have incredible winning potential, and are worth your time. So let’s take a closer look, shall we?

• Mega Wilds:

Lord Pig is a stacked Wild, and can appear in any position. These Wilds have a chance to expand and cover the entire reel they are currently occupying. On top of that, they come with an attached multiplier that can go up to 7x. It won’t be responsible for any massive jackpots, but it can boost your standard wins.

• Free Spins & Progressive Multipliers:

Collect three Lady Pig Scatters to win a spin on the Free Spins Wheel. The wheel has two segments: the inner and outer one. The outer segment has multipliers, while the inner one hosts spins. The wheel is spun, and determines how many free spins will be played, and what multiplier will be active. A maximum of 22 free spins and a 10x starting multiplier can be won. Every win during free spins increases the multiplier by one, with no limit how high it can climb.
