piggies and the bank slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

Hi, again folks! I’ve just been released from prison after trying to buy a diamond-tipped metre-long drill bit and a half dozen shape charges. Looks like the bank robbery is off the cards for a while – I guess I’d better hope I get lucky playing Piggies & The Bank instead! I have to say it all feels a little unfair really – those Peaky Pigs terrorised Birmingham for decades without even breaking a sweat! Perhaps I need to learn how to turn myself invisible like the pigs in Hacksaw’s Magic Piggy. I guess all this has taught me why parents tell their kids to keep their Piggy Riches in a ‘piggy bank’… I only wish that I’d listened instead of trading warez on AmiExpress!

Fifty-line games suffer a similar problem to slots that feature thousands of payways in that it’s very difficult for developers to offer anything substantial for any single combination. Hitting five scatter symbols will return you 50x your total stake, which isn’t all that impressive but is certainly better than the other prizes. Take the two wilds, for example – these come in pink and golden varieties, but both share equal payouts of 150 coins for a full payline of five of a kind. I say coins because Playtech has this annoying habit of showing payouts as a multiple of the line bet rather than as a product of the total bet or even just a flat cash value – this can be really quite confusing to the uninitiated, so I’ll convert the remainder of the payouts into multiples of stake. The gold bars are the highest-paying regular symbols, with a 150 coin payout, but this is equivalent to just 3x the total bet in real terms! The safe will pay 2x your stake for all five symbols, as will the piles of banknotes. As for the low pays, five aces or kings pay 1.5x the current stake, with the remaining royals dropping this down to a flat 1x for a five-of-a-kind combination.

Playtech’s slots are pretty crazy regarding the range of bets they offer – this one, for example, allows minimum bets of just €0.10, but the upper limit is an outrageous €450.00 a go! If you’ve got that kind of money to splash out on playing slots, then more power to you, but for everybody else, please be sure not to accidentally spin the reels with such a huge wager selected!

base game & modifiers

For a game that uses the default video slot configuration of just five reels and three rows, this machine includes an unusually high number of fixed paylines – fifty, to be precise. This setup makes it much easier to hit winning combinations but has a very noticeable side effect in that those wins are almost certain to be much lower than you would like! A quick glance at the numbers listed on the paytable in the previous section confirms this fact comprehensively, with even the highest-paying symbols offering only a tiny prize of just three times the total bet.
