Piggy Riches Begins review
This is the origin story of Red Tiger's pig character. Mr. Piggy starts as a small dreamer and works his way towards high society as the feature rounds go by. The build is a 5x4 grid with up to 1024 play lines, a wild that grows on the middle reels and a Hold and Respin round that locks cash and prize symbols in place. The listed volatility is Very high and the top win is 21,285x the bet, so the potential is large and the swings are wide.
A wild that grows up
The star of the base game is Mr. Piggy, a wild that lands on reels 2, 3 and 4 and substitutes for every paying symbol. He starts as a plain 1x1 wild. After each Hold and Respin feature he becomes one position taller, and at level 4 he is a full 1x4 wild that covers a whole reel on this four-row grid.
According to the studio, the values of the Cash scatters and the multipliers both depend on the player's progression level. So the progression is more than cosmetic: it feeds into what the special symbols can pay.
Mr. Piggy
A wild on reels 2, 3 and 4 that stands in for all paying symbols. It begins as a single position and grows by one position after every Hold and Respin, reaching 1x4 at level 4.
The two scatters on the last reel
Two special scatters can land only on the final reel, and each is limited to one per spin. They do different jobs, so it helps to separate them.
Mrs. Piggy
Lands on the fifth reel in base spins, never more than one per spin. When she appears she collects the value of every Cash and Prize scatter on screen, as long as there are fewer than six of them. With six or more, the Hold and Respin feature starts instead. Cash values are random and depend on the progression level.
Multiplier scatter
Appears on the last reel only, at most one per spin, and reveals a random multiplier based on the current level. It applies to win ways payouts only, not to Cash or Prize symbols, and it cannot land in the same base spin as Mrs. Piggy. The two never share a spin.
Hold and Respin
Six or more Cash and Prize symbols in a single base spin trigger the round. All visible Cash, Prize and Collector symbols are locked in place and you receive 3 respins. During the feature, any Cash values that land are collected by Mrs. Piggy. If she is not present, every Cash value is paid out to the player at the end.
The source text we hold for the later rules of this round is cut short, so we do not describe how respins reset or what the closing bonus can reach. The official page has the full wording.
What the numbers say
The game has one RTP on record, 96.17%, which gives a house edge of 3.83%. Over a long run that is about $38.30 lost per $1,000 wagered. A short session of 100 spins costs $0.77 on average at a $0.20 bet, $3.83 at $1 and $19.15 at $5.
The max win is 21,285x the bet. In money that is $4,257 at a $0.20 bet, $21,285 at $1 and $106,425 at $5. Those are ceilings, not typical results. The studio lists a hit frequency of 66.69%, so most spins return something, though a hit can pay less than the stake. Bets run from €0.10 to €50.00, and the studio's page also shows a feature buy option.
Similar games by the numbers
Piggy Riches Begins belongs to a crowded group of Very high volatility releases with similar RTPs. Biggest Vault lists 96.14% and a 21,026x max win. Pirates' Plenty: Treasures of the Seas sits at 96.2% with 22,640x. Dynamite Riches The Mother Lode matches the 96.17% RTP with a 20,000x ceiling, and Bounty Cove lists 96.18% with the same 20,000x.
The differences in RTP are a few hundredths of a point, so the choice between these games comes down to mechanics rather than return.
Pros
- Wild grows from 1x1 to 1x4 as the progression levels rise
- Max win of 21,285x the bet
- A 66.69% hit frequency means most spins return something
- Hold and Respin starts with 3 respins and locked symbols
Cons
- Very high volatility, so long dry stretches are part of the design
- The multiplier scatter does not touch Cash or Prize values
- No free demo is listed in our catalogue
Verdict
Piggy Riches Begins pairs a character that levels up with a Hold and Respin round, and it carries the Very high volatility and 21,285x ceiling to match. The 96.17% RTP is ordinary for the group it sits in, which means a 3.83% house edge and about $38.30 per $1,000 wagered. It suits players who accept big swings and want a feature built around progression. Treat it as paid entertainment with a cost, not as income.
