Game Play

Piggy Riches Megaways is played out over 6-reels, with up to 7-rows and from 64 – 117,649 ways to win. The bet range on offer starts from 0.10 credits to a maximum of 10 credits per spin and the slot is classed as medium to high variance with a slightly below-average RTP of 95.71%. In the beginning of each spin, the Megaways game engine selects two to seven symbols randomly for each of the six reels which creates the number of ways you can win, and your wins are then calculated from left to right when you land between two and six adjacent symbols. When you land a winning combination, the symbols will explode and make way for new symbols to drop down into their place.

This process continues all the time you land wins giving you the opportunity to land multiple wins from a single spin. The slot takes you back to the opulent home of the pigs with their manicured lawns and hedges, there are wrought iron gates and a red carpet which takes you up the stair into Piggy Manor passing the pig harp playing statues and elaborate water fountains. The game screen is a lot bigger than the first game to make way for the additional rows and reels.

Symbols

The low paying symbols are created using the usual playing card symbols ten through to Ace and these will reward you with 0.4x to 0.8x your stake when you land six of the same symbols. The higher paying symbols include a purse packed full of dollar notes, a piggy bank, gold credit cards, a set of pig keys and satchels stuff full of gold. The satchel is the highest paying symbol and will reward you with 20x your stake for matching six. The wild is Mr Piggy and he can substitute for all the regular symbols and will only appear on the 2nd and 4th reels and Mrs Piggy is the scatter.

Features

Although the Megaways engine plays a vital role the developers have added a few special extras which can make all the difference to the amount you can win. To begin with you can eat up the Mega wilds in the free spins and base game. Mr Piggy can make an appearance and cover the height of the reel and depending on how many positions there are on the reel and you can win from 2x to 7x, you can land three in a spin which provides you with a massive 7x7x7 equating to a massive 343x and you should note that multipliers will only apply to wins that you have made with Mega wilds. Landing three or more of the scatters anywhere on you reels in one spin activates the Wheel of Riches and there are two rings each containing segments.

The inside ring has different amount of free spins which can be from seven through to twenty-two and the outside ring has the multipliers, x1 up to x10. You get one spin of the Wheel of Riches and this determines the number of free spins and starting multiplier for your round. Once this is all determined you start the bonus round in the usual way Megaways operate. Every win increases your win by x1 with no limits. You also have the chance to land Mega Wilds and if you do then the multipliers combine to provide you with some truly spectacular wins.

Conclusion

NetEnt acquired Red Tiger Gaming in 2019 and it was only going to be a while before they announced their first MegaWays slot. They made a great choice to use the hugely popular Piggy Riches as it already has a great following. The slot offers excellent win potential and a lot of fun.
