Piggy Riches Megaways

Can you guess where we're going? Quite rightly, a new slot game based on the popular Piggy Riches slot machine is coming! But this time NetEnt has taken out the swings a little more than usual, and teamed up with the game provider Red Tiger Games to launch new Piggy Riches Megaways!

Game provider Red Tiger Gaming entered into an agreement with another casino game developer in 2018, Big Time Gaming . This is to be able to launch slot machines with the unique Megaways feature that allows a random number of symbols to land on the reels, as well as the chance to activate really many paylines compared to regular online slot games.

In NetEnt's original version of the Piggy Riches slot, to give a clearer picture of the difference, there are 15 active paylines per spin. In most slots launched by Red Tiger Gaming that have the Megaways feature baked in, you will find a whopping 117,649 paylines that can be activated . However, this does not happen every spin, but there are significantly more paylines than in the older slot machine.

The theme of Piggy Riches Megaways will remain the same as in the slot game launched by NetEnt as early as 2011. They are dashing, stately, and hog-rich. The pigs in Piggy Riches really know how to live luxury life, and the idea is that here the player should be able to find the same excitement and entertainment.

Wild symbols that help to create the best possible winning combinations, Scatters that promise free spins and multipliers that increase winnings are all different bonus features that are included in the previous slot from Piggy Riches. Now we take a closer look at how the new Piggy Riches Megaways works!

Since there is more than one game developer who had a hand in the game when Piggy Riches Megaways was developed, it works a little differently compared to other slots from Netent. In most slots from Netent you can set both coin value and bet level, but in many video slots from Red Tiger Gaming only set a total bet value. This is exactly what it looks like in the new Piggy Riches Megaways, and you have a bet value that varies between 0.10 dollars - 40.00 dollars .

Since the paylines vary for each spin, there is a display at the top of the game edge that constantly shows the number of paylines activated for each spin.

There is no doubt whatsoever that Piggy Riches Megaways will be packed with entertaining features and bonus features. Actually, it would be enough to release a slot with several thousand paylines, but given the experience and knowledge of all the game developers, it would be surprising if we did not find many nice features.

Wild symbols

As in most online slots, the pimple wild symbols feature in Piggy Riches Megaways, and they work pretty much as usual. Thus, one will be able to replacing other symbols in the game with a Wild which can often contribute to finer winning combinations. However, there is a bit more finesse that has gone into the Wild symbols in Piggy Riches Megaways. You can be lucky enough to land 3 of this bonus symbol and then get 3 Mega Wilds that cover the entire reels and also have a built-in multipliers of up to x7 !

Free spins

Another bonus feature that is included in Piggy Riches Megaways is free spins. There are few popular slots from Netent that lack that feature, and Piggy Riches Megaways is no exception. To activate free spins, you need to spin 3 or more scatter symbols which lands anywhere on the playing field. Up to 22 free spins available to download in this function.

We see that the symbols in Piggy Riches Megaways are not very different from the symbols in the original, Piggy Riches.

Weak symbols : Here you can see perhaps the most classic slot symbols, the letters A, K, Q, J and the number 10. These symbols generate wins of between 0.1-0.8 depending on the number of symbols and variety. There are also a bunch of stronger symbols included in the game that represent the bigger coin wins. And even these are very reminiscent of the strong symbols in Piggy Riches.

Strong symbols : banknotes of different types, the one that can generate the greatest profit is the gold banknote with a money bag as a print. Next in line is the purple banknote with a$Edit card in gold, followed by the green banknote with the key bundle, one with a filled wallet and the last banknote symbolizing a piggy bank. The strong symbols can generate wins of between 0.3-20 coins depending on how many symbols you combine.

The bonus symbols are the main characters of the game and stand out from the rest of the symbols quite well. The Wild symbol is recognized as a pig Lord in a hat and suit holding up a bundle of money and a gold stick. The Scatter symbol that triggers the free spins is recognized just as easily with a more feminine pig dressed in fur and jewelry holding up a gift.

It doesn't happen too often that game developers team up to launch a new slot machine, especially one based on a video slot that already exists. But since Netent now owns Red Tiger Gaming, which has a BTG license for Megaways games, it is apparently not impossible. It is also worth adding that Piggy Riches Megaways is mobile-friendly and works just as smoothly on mobile.
