The success of the original Piggy Riches from NetEnt has been huge. It is still very popular among gamers. As you know, every time a pokie machine becomes popular among gamers, there is always a plan for a sequel. In my humble opinion, sequels are rarely as good or even better than the original.
I am still to determine whether Piggy Riches Megaways is a success or not. Once again, you will be taken to the luxurious mansion of Lady Pig and Gentleman Pig.
This extraordinary couple is filthy rich but prepared to share their wealth with you. You will play the game in the yard, surrounded by fountains, overlooking the villa.
If you had the pleasure of playing the original Piggy Riches, you will recognize all the symbols populating the reels. However, they look way better in the sequel. Gentleman Pig is the Wild that substitutes for all regular symbols, while Lady Pig is the Scatter that triggers the Bonus.
Bags of gold, platinum credit cards, keys to the mansion, as well as wallets and piggy banks packed with cash are waiting for you on the grid. Playing cards represent the low-value icons.
Piggy Riches Megaways uses BTG’s Megaways game engine. The pokie is played on 6 reels. Each reel can display up to 7 icons. You will benefit from up to 117,649 ways to win. To pocket a payout, you need matching symbols on at least 3 successive reels, beginning from the far-left reel.
Only bags of gold pay for two of a kind. Each winning spin activates cascading reels. You can bet as low as $0.10 and as high as $100 per single spin. The Red Tiger product is of high variance, has an RTP of 95.71%, and offers a max payout of 10,474x.
Red Tiger Gaming wanted to stay true to the original, so it kept a couple of features, such as the Multiplier Wild and free spins with win multipliers. Of course, Red Tiger likes to spice things up a bit. Hence, the original features were modified and new extras have been added to the story.
You will benefit from Mega Wilds that cover entire reels and carry multipliers up to 7. Cascading reels will provide you with multiple wins in a single spin. As for the Free Spins feature, it offers as many as 22 free spins with increasing win multipliers.
Each time you land a win, the Cascading Reels feature is triggered. It is active both in the base game and during free spins. This feature gives you a chance to pocket multiple wins from a single spin. That is why I love Cascading Reels.
Gentleman Pig is the Wild and it can cover the entire reel. So, it can cover up to 7 symbols at once. The Wild appears on every reel and always carries a win multiplier, up to 7x. Up to 3 Mega Wilds may appear during one spin.
Since all multipliers are added together, the total multiplier may go up to 343x. Of course, this only happens when all 3 Mega Wilds are on the reels at the same time, they all carry the 7x multiplier, and are all involved in the same winning combo.
I love these Mega Wilds because they appeared often and boosted my wins with rewarding multipliers, up to 49x.
Land at least 3 Lady Pig Scatters on the reels to trigger the Free Spins feature. You will spin a Wheel to get up to 22 free spins and a starting win multiplier of up to 10x. During the feature, you will increase the win multiplier by 1x after each winning spin.
Every Scatter you land during free spins will get you an extra freebie. I had so much fun with free spins, even though it took me a long time to trigger them. My first encounter with them brought me a total of 30 free spins and a win multiplier of 21x. My biggest win was 550x.
I am a huge fan of NetEnt’s Piggy Riches. The original pokie machine was a breath of fresh air when it came out back in the day. To be honest, I did not expect any software provider to be crazy enough and try to develop a sequel.
You can imagine my surprise when I found out that Red Tiger was going to give it a try. I started testing the sequel thinking that I would be hugely disappointed.
Like so many times in the past, Red Tiger proved me wrong. They did a tremendous job with Piggy Riches Megaways.
Improved visuals, upgraded additional features from the original pokie, some more extras and the Megaways game mechanics are all what Red Tiger needed to succeed. I will not say that Piggy Riches Megaways is better than the original.
However, it is a pokie machine that you will enjoy. That is why I rate Piggy Riches Megaways 9.1.
