Piggy Riches Megaways

Piggy Riches Megaways is Red Tiger's six-reel take on the wealthy-pig theme that NetEnt introduced back in 2010, rebuilt on the licensed Megaways engine and launched in January 2020. It is worth being clear which game this page covers, because the two sit side by side in most casino lobbies. The original Piggy Riches is a fixed-payline NetEnt slot; this version is a separate Red Tiger release with its own maths, its own bonus round and a reel set that changes shape on every spin. Red Tiger now sits inside the Evolution group, and the studio's house style shows in the sharp animation and quick pace.

How Piggy Riches Megaways plays

The grid runs six reels deep and each reel can show anywhere from two to seven symbols, so the number of ways to win is recalculated on every spin and peaks at 117,649. Combinations pay left to right from reel one, with playing-card values filling in around the piggy family, the jewellery and the gold card that tops the paytable.

Mr Piggy is the wild, and he does not arrive in ones and twos. He lands as a Mega Wild covering a full reel and carries a ways multiplier of up to 7x, and where more than one Mega Wild appears those multipliers combine. Mrs Piggy is the scatter. Land three or more and a wheel spins to set up the round: the outer ring decides how many free spins you get, up to 22, while the inner ring decides the multiplier you start on, up to 10x. From there the multiplier rises by one with every winning spin and carries across the round instead of resetting, which is the mechanism behind the game's biggest results. Red Tiger also built a paid feature-entry option into the slot, although you will not see it at British casinos, because the Gambling Commission does not permit operators to sell bonus rounds to UK players.

Piggy Riches Megaways RTP, volatility and max win

Red Tiger publishes the return to player at 95.71% and the ceiling at 10,474 times your stake. Some slot databases quote a lower figure of around 94.72%, which reflects one of the alternative RTP builds studios make available to operators. Neither number tells you what you are actually playing, so open the in-game information screen before you stake anything, because whatever is printed there is the version that particular casino has switched on.

Volatility is high and the design makes no secret of it. The base game is largely a holding pattern of blanks and small returns while you wait for three scatters, and almost everything meaningful happens inside the free spins, where the running multiplier decides whether the round justifies the wait. In practice that calls for a stake small enough to sit through long gaps without raising it to catch up, and it means the 10,474x figure is a mathematical outer edge rather than anything to plan around.

Playing Piggy Riches Megaways

The slot is widely distributed, so most casinos carrying the Red Tiger catalogue stock it, including the operators listed on this page. Stakes start at around 10p a spin, with the upper limit set by the individual casino rather than by the studio. If you want to see the wheel and the climbing multiplier before committing anything, the free demo runs the full game in play money with no account, deposit or registration, so you can work out whether the rhythm suits you. Where a casino attaches free spins to this title, those spins carry their own conditions, including wagering requirements and expiry dates, so read the promotion terms before opting in.

Is Piggy Riches Megaways worth playing?

It has aged well for a 2020 release. The wheel gives the bonus a shape that a flat, fixed award of spins never has, and pairing a full-reel wild multiplier with a multiplier that never resets keeps the round genuinely tense to watch. It suits players who already get on with Megaways titles and are content to sit through quiet stretches for one big round. Anyone who prefers frequent small returns will find the base game a slog. Because so much of the appeal rests on reaching that single feature, the real risk with this one is chasing it, and the wheel owes you nothing after a hundred flat spins. Fix your deposit limit before the session rather than in the middle of it, and our responsible gambling guide covers the tools that help you hold to it.
