Open Piggy Riches Megaways to enter the grounds of the Piggy mansion. While many new bonus features exist, Red Tiger has made playing as easy as the original. Simply follow these steps to get started:
When you first load up the game, you’ll enter the mansion's gates to be greeted by the game’s six reels. Each reel can contain between two and seven symbols. Below the reels are the controls for playing the game.
The spin button is located in the bottom right corner of the reels, while the bet control is on the left side. You can also find the auto and turbo features here. Toggle the turbo on for faster spins, or use the autoplay to program a specific number of spins.
The settings, including the sound and a menu that reveals the game rules and paytable, are in the top right corner above the reels. If you want to know more about the different symbols and their payouts, check the paytable before you begin.
The Piggy Riches Megaways paytable contains many familiar symbols if you’ve played the original Piggy Riches slot. At the bottom of the pay scale, there are the five A-10 playing card symbols.
The 10 pays 0.4x your bet for six of a kind, while the J pays up to 0.5x your bet. Q pays out 0.6x your bet for six of a kind, and the K pays up to 0.7x. A pays 0.8x your bet if you land six of a kind across the reels.
The premium symbols are all the Piggies keep around their home to store their riches. The piggy bank is bursting with cash, and it will give you 1.2x your bet if you land six of a kind. The purse is also filled to the brim, and landing six of a kind will reward you with 1.6x your bet. The keys to the mansion pay 2x your bet for six of a kind, while the gold bar gives you up to 5x your bet. Lastly, the bag of riches will reward you with a big win worth 20x your bet for six of a kind.
You should also look out for Mr and Mrs Piggy Riches, who will act as the wild and the scatter. Mr. Piggy Riches will substitute for other paying symbols, while Mrs. Piggy Riches can activate the bonus round.
This is a Megaways slot, which means that there are no paylines. Instead, wins are formed by matching symbols along adjacent reels, starting from the left-most reel. Additionally, the number of symbols on each reel changes on every spin, resulting in many ways to win. There can be up to 117,649 ways to win, although most spins will have fewer.
Many bonus features can activate on any spin as you play to increase your winning potential and deliver payouts. These features include:
Every time you win in this slot, the winning symbols are removed from the reels, allowing new ones to fall to take their place. These avalanches can be highly lucrative if you’re lucky enough to combine several wins.
Mr Piggy is the game’s wild symbol, appearing anywhere on the reels and potentially substituting for other symbols to form winning combinations. However, he stands out from regular wilds in that he takes up an entire reel and comes with a random win multiplier worth up to 7x. You could land up to three Mega Wilds on the same spin.
You'll trigger the free spins bonus round if you land three Mrs. Piggys across the reels. This begins with a spin of the bonus wheel, which will award you up to 22 free spins and a starting multiplier 10x.
Any wins you land during the bonus will increase your win multiplier by 1x, potentially leading to massive payouts. Landing new scatters will add more free spins, with no limit on how many you can unlock or how big the win multiplier can get.
This slot has a maximum win worth 10,474x your bet. The maximum bet is relatively low at just $10, which means the most you can win from a single spin is $10,4740.
This game comes with a range of RTP rates, so you must check at the casino you’re playing. The standard rate is 94.72%, slightly below average for online slots. Meanwhile, the Piggy Riches Megaways volatility is rated high so that you can expect a lower win frequency with higher winning potential.
Both the RTP rate and volatility will have an impact on gameplay. However, it’s important to remember that the RTP is measured over thousands of spins. During a regular playing session, it’s unlikely that your results will strictly follow the RTP rate, mainly due to the high volatility. When I played, I was fortunate enough to hit a big win with a 7x Mega Wild early on, although I still lost my playing session due to a series of dead spins.
The original Piggy Riches game looked great with its unique symbol designs and characters, and Piggy Riches Megaways is pretty much more of the same. The mansion, symbols, and characters are all oozing with signs of wealth, portraying the lifestyles of the mega-rich. The animated fountains on either side of the mansion help add to the class, and the cartoon style makes it fun to play.
The music playing in the background reminds me of swing music from the 1920’s, perfectly fitting the theme of the well-dressed pigs. The music punctuates each win you land with the sound of gold coins whenever your win is tallied.
You can play for real money at an online casino, but it’s a good idea to spin the demo before risking your cash. You can play the Piggy Riches Megaways free demo on this page, playing with credits and turning as much as you like. The demo is the same as the real money version; you won’t be able to win cash.
While you may be unable to win real money from playing, it gives you a risk-free way to test all the different features. You’ll experience the Mega Wilds, free spins and multipliers without spending anything. Once you’ve given it a go, you can decide whether you want to play the real version.
The lifestyles of the mega-rich certainly look appealing to many people—fancy cars, huge, luxurious mansions, and unlimited cash sound great. As a result, hundreds of exciting slots offer a glimpse into the world of the wealthy, from diamonds and gold bars to bags of cash and private jets. These games have it all, and you could potentially win massive payouts from playing, too.
Piggy Riches, the original title from NetEnt, offers a similar playing experience without the Megaways reels. Piggy Bank Bills from Pragmatic Play has a unique payout mechanic where you must complete banknote halves to land payouts. There’s also Big Piggy Bank from Inspired Gaming, offering a big max win as you try to smash the piggy bank.
There’s a lot to love about Piggy Riches Megaways, and if you enjoyed the original game, then there’s no doubt you’ll find this game fun, too. The action and winning potential have been cranked upthanks to the Megaways reels, and the volatility is higher, too. While the maximum bet size is low, the features and potential max win more than make up for it, in my opinion.
