Piggy Riches Megaways Slot Review – Demo, RTP & Features

You often see hit slots from the past being reinvented and reimagined because their former success dictates iGaming developers to do so.

You could argue that things are slightly different here because Piggy Riches isn’t just a good game; it’s iconic for so many reasons. Especially with Lady Pig and Gentleman Pig returning for the Megaways version.

Another interesting element to consider, primarily for those who played the original, is that Netent made Piggy Riches. And they’re also responsible for launching the Piggy Riches Megaways to the fore. However, Red Tiger also have some involvement in this one because they’ve been acquired by NetEnt.

In our opinion, having influence from Red Tiger Gaming, alongside the original creators NetEnt, can only be a good thing.

We think this shines through because while some may stick close to the initial release because of its success, this new release is a considerable improvement compared to the Piggy Riches slot from Netent, and not just because the Megaways system is included.

People may have expected improvements across the board because Piggy Riches was first released at the start of the last decade, but Piggy Riches Megaways is as modern as they come.

The visuals immediately give this impression, with the design as good as anything we’ve seen before and the action unfolding in front of Piggy Manor, which is fitting for the whole piggy idea that makes this game series what it is. And did we mention that the Megaways mechanic will be active because we all know what benefits this can provide.

Game Features

Including the Megaways mechanic will be huge for many punters, especially when you consider that in a single spin, there is the potential to have up to 117,649 ways to win.

This alone is an attractive proposition, and while it upgrades the winning potential, there’s also the excitement and anticipation of waiting to see how many paylines are active in each round.

You get the impression, where the features are concerned, that Red Tiger Gaming, even with NetEnt’s influence, want to stick to what worked last time. So, again, we see the stacked wild feature come into play. And, as you will also expect, there’s a free spins round too, which also features in the original Piggy Riches.

The Gentleman Pig takes on the role of the wild once again in this one, and it’s Lady Pig who assumes the position of the scatter. You’re going to need three or more of the latter in view simultaneously if you want to get your hands on some free spins.

The way the amount a punter will play through and the multiplier value attached will be determined by spinning a wheel which has two segments. In total, there are up to twenty-two free spins up for grabs and a multiplier of up to 10x from the kick-off.
