Piggy Bankers Slot Features

Enclosed in a polished golden frame, a 5x4 grid awards wins for landing at least 3 matching symbols on any of the 20 pay lines. All qualifying combinations must start from the leftmost side on the board and continue rightwards along adjacent reels. Standard wins pay from 0.25 to 3 times the bet for scoring on low-value royals, while premium icons represented by a box of cigars, whiskey, a golden scale, and a golden piggy bank award prizes from 0.75 to 12.5 times. Wilds substitute for all regular symbols during win evaluation and pay up to 12.5 times the bet for independent 5-of-a-kind sequences.

Banknotes Reel

Above the main grid sits a 5-cell horizontal reel on which only banknotes and blank spaces land. They carry random values from a predetermined set in a 0.5x - 100x range. To win the prize, a fully-stacked Wild must land on the corresponding reel underneath the Banknote.

Wild Respins

When a fully-stacked Wild lands entirely visible, it will trigger a series of respins. The Piggy Banker Wild will walk one reel to the right for each respin, while Lady Piggy Banker to the left. Banknotes appearing on the top horizontal reel will be collected whenever they align with the Wild. If both Wilds meet on the same reel, the value of the potential Banknote above will be collected twice.

Piggy Bankers Free Spins

Meeting two fully-stacked Wilds on the same reel or aligning the Free Spins symbol from the horizontal reel with any of the fully-stacked Wilds activates 5 free spins. During the bonus, a new 1000x Banknote is available. Additionally, any Wilds that meet on the same reel will have their multiplier increased by +1x.

Instant access to the bonus is available through the Bonus Buy option for a fixed buy-in of 80 times the bet.

Final Thoughts

Piggy Bankers may initially look like a relatively traditional slot, offering a well-known grid setup and a theme that has been featured in casino games multiple times. To some extent, this is true, especially when talking about visuals, which undoubtedly carry a high-quality impression but don't offer much novelty regarding content. A handful of royals mixed with extravagant alcohol, cigars, and a couple of gilded items is as straightforward as it can be in a setting like this. All that in a shiny frame set on the backdrop of a luxurious estate inhabited by an affluent family of pigs, and the picture is complete. Nothing wrong with that, of course, even if the approach is somewhat unimpressive.

Gameplay-wise, things are looking slightly more refreshing, but only slightly. Fully-stacked Walking Wilds are the backbone of the profile, and it would be quite a mundane situation if not for the additional Banknote Reel. Instant prizes rolling through it above the main grid constantly tease with values up to 100x, and they make the walking sequence significantly more attractive since every Walking Wild collects them from the corresponding vertical position. It feels like a spot-on combination of two popular mechanics that results in mutual benefits. Free spins throw an additional massive note worth 1000x into the mix while awarding multipliers whenever the Walking Wilds collide, making it clear that this is where the max win of 10,000x resides.
