Theme: head inside the bankers’ mansion

With a pigs theme, the Piggy Bankers slot has a wealth feel where you are taken to 2 rich pigs’ mansion. Set inside the mansion’s hall where a velvet carpet adorns the grand entrance, it has an air of Piggy Riches (NetEnt) aesthetically.

With an air of opulence and luxury, it’s a far cry from the actual world pigs live in: a mud-filled farm which smells quite a bit. It reminds me of the mansion in the Richie Rich film starring Macaulay Culkin. The soundtrack is rather generic yet quite playful.

On the reels, you will come across A, K, Q, J and 10 royals as well as cigars, whiskey, gold scales and gold piggy banks. The gold piggy bank symbol is the best paying with 2.5, 5 or 12.5 x bet awarded if you land 3, 4 or 5 across a payline. A screen full of gold piggy banks will result in a 250 x bet payout.

Piggy Bankers comes with 2 wild symbols. Substituting for all paying symbols, you have Piggy Banker and Lady Piggy Banker Wilds which also pays 2.5, 5 or 12.5 x bet for 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

Other important symbols appear on the Banknotes Reel above the main reel set. Here, you’ll see Banknote symbols worth up to 100 x bet as well as a Free Spins Banknote which triggers the Free Spins feature.

Piggy Bankers Mobile

Piggy Bankers was released on the 7^th of August 2023 and is available to play on mobile, desktop and tablet devices. Using HTML5 technology, it’s compatible with iOS, Android and Windows smartphones.

Piggy Bankers Bonus Features

The Piggy Bankers slot comes with 4 bonus features. Land a wild reel under a Banknote symbol to collect it (they are worth up to 100 x bet). Wild reels also award respins which shift left or right until they leave the screen. With 2 ways to trigger the Free Spins feature, there are 1,000 x bet Banknote symbols in the Banknote Reel as well as wild reels that meet to add multipliers to the wild reels.

Banknotes Reel feature

Above the main reel set, you’ll see a Banknotes Reel. On any spin, Banknote symbols and blanks will land randomly on the Banknote Reel. Whenever a full vertical stack of wild symbols appears under 1 of the Banknote symbols, the Banknotes Reel feature is triggered. Then the value of the Banknote symbol is awarded which are worth 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 or 100 x your total bet.

Wild Respins feature

The Wild Respins feature is triggered when a full vertical stack of wild symbols lands. Furthermore, the stack transforms into a wild reel and a respin is awarded. During the respins, the wild reels move in different directions:

• Piggy Banker Wild: moves right on each respin until it leaves the screen
• Lady Piggy Banker Wild: moves left on every respin until it leaves the screen

Respins continue as long as either of the 2 wild reels are present on the screen. If the Piggy Banker and Lady Piggy Banker Wild reels met on the same reel, you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature. If there is a collection of Banknote symbols on the reel when they meet, the value of the Banknote symbols is awarded twice.

Free Spins feature

The Piggy Bankers slot is all about the Free Spins feature. It’s triggered if the 2 wild reels meet on a reel during the Wild Respins feature or if a Free Spins Banknote symbol is collected. Either way, 5 free spins are awarded.

On the Banknote Reel a new 1,000 x bet Banknote symbol will appear. As in the base game, the Wild Respins feature is also in play. During the free spins, 1 extra free spins will be won if 2 wild reels meet on the same reel. They also get a 2x multiplier with respins awarded. If multiplier wild reels meet any other wild reels, the multiplier increases by 1 for each meeting.

On the Banknote Reel, the Free Spins Banknote symbol doesn’t appear meaning you cannot win additional free spins that way. Non-UK players can use the Buy Free Spins feature to buy their way into the Free Spins feature. Costing 80 x your total bet, the RTP is 96.03% (for the 96.05% RTP version).

Piggy Bankers Review Summary: inspired by Piggy Bank Bills slot

With pig-themed games being popular, it was only natural that Pragmatic Play created the Piggy Bankers slot. It follows on from Piggy Bank Bills which has Banknotes as symbols. Visually, it has a very similar look and feel.

In terms of the gameplay, landing a full stack of Piggy Banker and/or Lady Piggy Banker wilds will see Banknote symbols above them collected and awarded. With Banknote symbols worth up to 100 x bet, you can also win by forming winning combinations for the standard symbols.

Respins are awarded with wild reels that shift with each respin until they move off the screen. If the Piggy Banker and Lady Banker wild reels meet, you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature. With 2 ways to trigger the free spins, the addition of the 1,000 x bet Banknote symbol makes it much more interesting.

2 wild reels meeting during the Free Spins feature will result in extra free spins. It will also award a 2x multiplier that can increase every time a multiplier wild reel meets another wild reel. With 10,000 x bet max wins, it offers double the win potential of its predecessor.

In summary, the Piggy Bankers slot is a fun and potentially-rewarding game that focuses on wild reels and respins. Landing multipliers will prove harder than seeing pigs fly in most cases but the potential is there.

On the banking vibe, Pragmatic Play’s Reel Banks comes with modifier symbols that award the reel bank value, adds up to 500 x bet to all reel banks, extra free spins, collects all reel banks and multipliers a/all bank reel values up to 5x.
