Piggy Bank Megaways slot summary
Piggy Bank Megaways slot by iSoftBet is non-original, made for a specific casino group and disastrously so. It's a clone of Western Gold Megaways slot which had terrible potential unlike their other game using this mechanic, the far more involving Aztec Gold Megaways. I know they do quirky themes as we saw on Royale With Cheese Megaways but this has fallen on both counts. We get predictable juvenile piggy symbols, daft music and animations here and little else. So can this piggy bank pay some interest on our bankroll or will it prove to be a bum investment?
On the reels...
You get 3-7 rows for each of the 6 reels so 729-117649 ways on Piggy Bank Megaways slot. No modifiers as I don't count the silly preamble when the full-ways spin is coming! The best 6-of-a-kind is the Logo at 25x bet followed by Pig 5x, 2.5x Banknotes, 2x Hammer and six card values of 1.5 down to 0.5x. Wilds can land on the middle 4 reels and Gold Coin scatters on all six. Winning tiles are replaced from above.
Hold and Spin
This is the name iSoftBet gives to the common bonus mechanic whereby you hold winning symbols and re-spin the other tiles with 3 chances reset when a new one lands. Here you need 5+ of those Gold Coins to trigger it. They will have 1 or 2x overlays on them and will stay in place when the re-spins start as will the rows from the spin you triggered it on. The remaining positions spin and will give 1 or 2x cash values or one of the 'jackpot' symbols of 10, 25 or 50x. Fill a reel up and you get a multiplier according to its rows, so 3 to 7x on it. This applies to jackpot tiles too and you can get more than one in a bonus.
Our View...
Piggy Bank Megaways slot has a 95.98% RTP or 97.00% if you can use the 50x bet bonus buy in your jurisdiction. That fact actually tells you a lot about the game, as the base game is poor in returns and the feature pays little on average too, somewhere just below 50x bet. In fact, getting over 100x in the bonus hold-and-spin is good here, which belies the attraction of Megaways slots in the fist place, being high potential and volatility. This is one piggy bank that should be smashed to smithereens before it ever gets a single penny put in it...
