ABOUT
Dressed in high fashion and living their best lives in luxury, Piggy Bankers will give you the proper insight into the lifestyle of the rich and famous.

Betting Options and Bonus Features
Piggy Bankers starts in a grand hall with sunlight streaming through large marble columns and a red carpet, giving it the appearance of a prestigious banking institution. On the 5x4 grid with 20 paylines, valuable symbols like Cuban Cigars, Golden Piggy Banks, and Golden Scales await, offering rewards ranging from 4x to 12.5x the bet for five matching symbols.
While spinning Piggy Bankers reels, players will come across Mr. Piggy Banker and Lady Piggy Banker. They are the Wilds of the game, substituting for all symbols except Scatters and paying 12.5x the stake for five winning symbols on a line.
The rich appearance, however, is just a facade to distract people from the insatiable hunger for wealth and power of the pigs, who have amassed and stashed away a treasure of 10,000x the bet somewhere within the vicinity. Players won’t have an easy time dealing with these pigs, as Piggy Bankers implemented a very high volatility math model, keeping gameplay unpredictable. However, the RTP looks brighter, rocking a solid 96.05%.
Piggy Bankers provide tons of entertainment with its list of features. First of all is the Banknote Reel appearing on top of the grid, Banknote Reel moves with every spin, revealing Banknotes holding a value ranging from 0.5x to 100x the bet. Players can snatch these tasty instant cash rewards by landing a vertically Stacked Wild beneath the desired bill.
Whenever a vertically Stacked Wild lands, it transforms into big Wilds called the Piggy Banker or the Piggy Banker Lady and activates the Wild Respin Feature. During respin, Mr. Piggy Banker Wild moves one reel to the right until it leaves the screen, while Lady Piggy Banker Wild moves one reel to the left until it leaves the screen. Respins continue as long as Wilds are on the grid. If Mr. Piggy Banker and the Lady Piggy Banker meet on the same reel, the game triggers Free Spins. Lastly, if there are Banknotes above where they meet, Piggy Bankers increases their value two times.
Whenever two Wilds meet or players collect a Free Spins Banknote, players receive 5 Free Spins on top of triggering the Free Spins bonus round. A new bill worth 1,000x the bet will begin spawning during Free Spins.
During Free Spins, the Respin feature remains active during the bonus round as well. When two Big Wilds meet, players get an extra free spin, and both Wilds receive an x2 multiplier. The respins continue with the Wilds moving towards the edge of the grid. Split Big Wilds also have an x2 multiplier. When two Big Wilds with multipliers meet, their multipliers increase by +1 for each subsequent meet.
At the start of the Free Spins, all Big Wilds from the triggering respin disappear from the grid. When the free spins end, the respins continue from where the round was triggered. The free spins banknote is removed from the Banknote Reel while the free spins feature is active.
Lastly, players can purchase access to the bonus round by paying 80x the bet.
Roshtein’s Take
Piggy Bankers is a fantastic game I thoroughly enjoyed. The graphics are lively, and the gameplay flows smoothly, creating a satisfying experience. I’ve had tons of fun playing the game and scored many big wins seemingly out of nowhere, thanks to the string of events caused by moving Wilds and their multipliers. There is also a bonus buy option, which adds a sense of flexibility to the game. Overall, Piggy Bankers is a solid slot experience that I’d recommend to anyone.
