Game Overview
Fun fact: Piggy Banks were not always designed in the shape of pigs and were given their name due to the material used to make them. People used to store their loose change and savings in pots made of Pigge, a particular type of earthenware, and somewhere down the line, somebody made the quite obvious link between Pigge and Piggy and the Piggy Bank was born. The Piggy Bank has a different meaning in Inspired Gaming’s latest slot, Piggy Bandits, as a band of piglet raiders has their eyes and hooves on the wealth within a bank vault. That’s the theme covered, but what about the core details? This slot has five reels, four rows, 1,024 ways-to-win and a 94.50% RTP.
While the criminally-minded piggies try to break into the bank vault, you’ll come across a nice selection of features on the Piggy Bandits slot. There is a money collect feature that could also trigger upgrades such as boosts, multipliers, respins, free spins, and even four jackpots. The slot also has a main free spins bonus that comes with a guarantee that Piggy upgrades occur each time the money collect feature triggers. Finally, you can use a Fortune Bet to increase how many piggies land or a buy bonus that lets you purchase the free spins bonus outright.
Below, I’ll take you through this slot in detail, but if you’d prefer to skip ahead and start playing, we’ve provided the Piggy Bandits demo slot below. It’s free to play and just a click away.
Piggy Bandits Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Our piggy friends have been used as a slot theme quite a bit over the years, which is quite surprising when you consider they’re hardly the most pet-friendly animals around. They’re not exactly the ferocious lions, tigers, or wolves you’ll find in some other animal-themed slots, either. Still, that has yet to stop the likes of Hacksaw Gaming’s Magic Piggy slot and our Piggy Riches Megaways demo from NetEnt from becoming popular slots among players here on our platform, so it’s not always about being the most scary-looking animal out there I guess.
Time to check in on the paytable, and the Gold Bars deliver the best single payout of 2.27x the stake for five symbols across a payline. The Wad of Cash is next up with a top return of 1.56x, while the Bag of Gold and the Dynamite symbols both reward up to 0.54x. The last of the premiums are the Torch and Watch, which share a maximum return of 0.45x for a line of five. The Ace, King, Queen, and Jack playing cards are the low-value symbols that all return up to 0.22x for a winning combo of five. Another symbol that can help bring winning combos your way is the Wild, which lands on reels two through five and substitutes for all regular-paying symbols.
Inspired Gaming has gone for an unorthodox betting range for the Piggy Bandit slot. You can wager a minimum of €0.22 per spin up to a maximum of €88.00. It’s not the most friendly range you’ll find on an online slot, but most will find a suitable entry stake between those values.
Piggy Bandits Slot Base Game
Piggy Bandits is a five-reel, four-row slot with 1,024 ways to win. Generally, wins are formed whenever three or more matching symbols land on consecutive reels starting from the leftmost reel. The exception is the Gold Bars, as you’ll receive a win if two or more instances of that symbol appear on successive reels.
Coin Symbols & Piggy Features
Coin symbols can appear on reels two, three, four, and five and can hold the following cash values:
- Reel 2: From 0.10 to 1.25
- Reel 3: From 0.22 to 1.25
- Reel 4: From 0.25 to 2.00
- Reel 5: From 0.50 to 2.50
Coin symbols that land on the fifth reel can also hold a number of free spins between 4 and 12.
If any combination of Piggy Symbols appears on the first reel at the same time at least one coin lands on the second reel, the coin values are collected. However, there’s also a chance the feature upgrade of those Piggy symbols will trigger before that happens. Only coins that land on consecutive reels starting from the one on the second reel will count for the feature upgrade.
Jackpot Respin Piggy: This rewards the initial coins on the reels (after any other upgrades are applied) and then re-spins reels two, three, four, and five. If coin symbols land on reel two and any consecutive reels, those are awarded and the respin feature repeats. This continues until a non-winning respin occurs.
- Boost Piggy: If this is one of the triggering Piggy symbols, it will boost the value of the eligible coin symbols. That could be by 0.06 to 1.25 on reel one, 0.12 to 1.25 on reel two, 0.18 to 2.50 on reel three, and 0.25 to 2.50 on reel five. The free spins coins will also receive a boost by 1 free spin.
- Multiplier Piggy: This will multiply all coin cash values or free spins by 2x to 10x.
Jackpot Coins
During the Jackpot Respin Piggy, you’ll collect jackpot values whenever Jackpot Coins symbols land. Those values at the minimum stake of 0.22 are:
- Mini: 2.50
- Minor: 10.00
- Major: 25.00
- Mega: 100.00
Fortune Bet
You can activate the Fortune Bet feature for a cost of 1.5x your current stake. When activated, it guarantees the upgrade feature of the Piggy Symbols trigger when they land and also increases the frequency of those symbols landing.
Piggy Bandits Slot Bonus Features
While the above coin symbols and respins are a nice addition to the base game, the free spins bonus offers the best-winning potential on the Piggy Bandits slot. This triggers one of two ways: by landing Free Spin coins on the fifth reel at the same time as a Piggy on reel one and coins on reels two, three, and four, or by landing three or more Free Games symbols on consecutive reels starting from the leftmost reel.
Free Spins
If triggered by the first method, you’ll activate the free spins on the symbol. However, if the bonus is triggered via three or more Free Games symbols, you’ll receive 8, 12, and 15 free spins for three, four, or five, respectively. During this feature, the upgrade feature of the Piggy symbols is guaranteed to trigger.
Bonus Buy
For the cost of 63x your current stake, you can activate the bonus buy feature, guaranteeing that the free spins trigger on the next spin.
Pros
- Piggy Money Collect Features trigger frequently.
Cons
- Low value of RTP.
Piggy Bandits Slot Review Final Thoughts
Piggy Bandits is not what I’d classify as one of the best looking new slot games, but the features help to make up for that. The Piggy features, for me at least, triggered fairly frequently, although most of the time, all I got was a boost or multiplier on the cash values and not the Jackpot Respins upgrade.
