Piggy Bankers - Pokie in Australia
Description
When it comes to online gambling, experienced gamblers may note that pigs are often associated with money, banking and all the good things in life, namely big wins. It's funny, because in the real world, pigs are quite happy, rolling around in the mud, eating scraps, just living their best life, not caring about wealth and prosperity. Perhaps the association of pigs with wealth in online pokies is a way for developers to satirically portray bankers or super-rich people as... greedy little pigs? Whatever the real reason, slot pigs love money. The Piggy Bankers slot machine from the developer Pragmatic Play offers images of pigs and the embodiment of money, the Banknote Reel function, re-spins, wandering wilds throughout the reel, as well as free spins.
We invite you to read our detailed review of the new slot and try playing the demo at Piggy Bankers right now. This is an amazing game that will definitely not leave you indifferent.
Piggy Bankers Slot Review
Piggy Bankers is played on a 5x4 grid, and on top of the main playing area there is a special reel called the Banknote Reel. This is a fairly volatile slot that gives RTP 96.05% or 96.03% when purchasing free spins, however keep in mind that lower return models are also available. Bet choices range from 20 to 240 credits per paid spin, and purchasing free spins costs 80x your bet.
High payouts are indicated by the premium Piggy Bankers symbols, which depict cigars, a liquor bottle, scales and a gold piggy bank, while low payouts are indicated by a set of playing cards with denominations ranging from 10 to A. The game has 20 paylines, and hitting a winning line increases your bet 2-3 times if it consists of low-paying symbols, or 4-12.5 times if high-paying symbols appear. The Pig Banker and Lady Banker Pig images each have their own wild symbol and can substitute for any regular paying symbol. Wild symbols have the same value as a gold piggy bank when generating wins on wild lines. Wild symbols are 1x1 in size but form larger wild symbols when stacked.
How to play Piggy Bankers slot
Here we'll take a look at the gameplay of Piggy Bankers, find out what the top reel does, and also look at other additional features such as the Wild Respins feature and free spins.
Drum "Banknotes"
During any spin, symbols and banknote forms randomly appear on the top special reel. Banknotes show bet multipliers from x0.5 to x100 and can also show free spins. If a full vertical stack of wild symbols appears under the banknote, a reward is awarded.
Wild Respins Feature
Landing a full vertical stack of wild symbols turns the stack into a large wild symbol, either a Piggy Banker Wild or a Lady Piggy Banker Wild, and triggers the re-spins feature. During re-spins, the Piggy Banker Wild moves one reel to the right until it leaves the screen, and the Lady Piggy Banker Wild moves one reel to the left until it leaves the screen. Re-spins continue as long as there are big wilds on the grid and end when there are no more big wilds on the screen. If Banker Pig and Banker Lady Pig appear on the same reel, free spins are triggered. If there is a banknote above their meeting point, its value is multiplied by 2.
Free spins
Free spins are triggered when two different big wilds are encountered or when the free spins banknote is collected. In any case, 5 free spins are awarded. During free spins, a new banknote with a denomination of x1000 may appear on the banknote reel.
The re-spins feature is available during free spins. When two large wilds meet, an additional free spin is awarded, then both wilds receive a x2 multiplier and re-spins.
