Piggy Payout Gameplay

Piggy Payout plays as a traditional online slot and has 25 adjustable paylines, paying from left to right. This means you can reduce the number of paylines down to one and adjust the bet per line. You need to match a minimum of two symbols for a win.

Due to the adjustable paylines mechanic, you can place a minimum bet of £0.01 and a maximum bet of £5.00 if all 25 paylines are activated.

After completing tests, I had all 25 paylines active at £0.04 per line, creating a £1.00 total bet. I managed to land a £3.92 win. This included one Windmill Wild symbol, one Scatter Pig symbol, two sweetcorns, four As, one Dog and one Sunflower. The Windmill Wild was able to complete the winning lines.

The Prize Pick bonus is activated when three or more Scatter Sheep symbols appear. One pick is awarded per sheep and comes with a multiplier prize, up to 100x your bet.

Three, four or five scattered Pig symbols will trigger 15, 20 or 25 Free Games respectively.

Prizes from line wins and scatter wins are doubled during Free Games.

Theme and Story of the Piggy Payout Slot

The slot offers a very simple farmyard theme, filled with a number of farm animals, sweetcorn and sunflowers. However, it’s the Sheep and Pig Scatter symbols you need to look out for, as they trigger the bonus rounds. The Windmill symbol acts as the Wild.

Piggy Payout is not a slot that offers a deep or compelling storyline, unlike many modern slots. That said, it’s quite clearly based around a farm animal theme with cartoon symbols. It’s a lighthearted slot that shouldn’t be taken too seriously.

The lowest-paying symbols are the J and Q, while the highest-paying symbols are the Dog and the Cow.

Graphics, Sounds and Vibes

The graphics certainly do not compare to modern slots but that’s the aim. It doesn’t try to be too flashy; its focus is to appeal to players who want that traditional, simplistic vibe. The cartoon style makes it fun, vibrant and playful.

There’s no running soundtrack for the slot but you will hear a click sound every time the reels are spun. Every time there is a win, you hear an arcade-style chime.

It’s purposely built to operate in this way, pushing a quiet and more minimalist tone. This suits the session-style player wanting the old-school slot play.

Take a look at what one of CasinoTopsOnline’s experts had to say about the slot:

Piggy Payout Slot on Mobile

Piggy Payout is available in both Portrait and Landscape mode on iOS and Android mobile devices. I found that the game looks just as good on mobile as it does on desktop. The icons are big enough to be seen, especially with the large blue Spin button.

I asked what one of the experts at CasinoTopsOnline thought about the slot on mobile:

Piggy Payout Slot Bonus Features

The two key Piggy Payout bonus features are the Sheep Scatter Prize Pick Bonus and the Pig Scatter Free Games. The Windmill Wild symbol is also important to note. Here’s a breakdown of how they work.

Windmill Wild

The Windmill Wild symbol can appear anywhere on reels two and four and substitutes for all symbols apart from scatters. This will complete winning lines and double your winnings on those lines.

Prize Pick Bonus

Once you activate the Sheep Scatter Prize Pick Bonus by landing at least three symbols, you get one pick per sheep in the winning line. You can win a multiplier of up to 100x your bet. For your total prize, each multiplier will be added together from all of your Prize Picks.

Free Games

To activate the Free Games, you must land at least three Pig Scatter symbols. The number of Pig Scatter symbols you land corresponds with the number of Free Games you receive:

• Three Pig Scatter symbols: 15 Free Games

• Four Pig Scatter symbols: 20 Free Games

• Five Pig Scatter symbols: 25 Free Games

The Free Games can be triggered up to a maximum of 15 times.

RTP and Volatility

The Piggy Payout RTP is 94.99%. This is below the industry average of 96%, meaning it pays out at a lower rate in the long run. It’s a medium volatility slot, making it suitable for session players, matching the slot’s design. This means you will receive a mix of smaller but regular wins and larger, less frequent payouts.

Bet Sizes and Variance

You are given great control over your bet size thanks to the 25 adjustable lines in Piggy Payout. This allows you to make a minimum bet of £0.01 and a maximum of £5.00.

The Piggy Payout maximum win is 5,000x your stake. This can be achieved by landing five Cow symbols.

Bonus Frequency

There isn’t an official bonus frequency published for the slot. However, I estimate that the bonus frequency for the Pick Prize Bonus is around every 30 to 40 spins and every 100-150 spins for the Free Games. This Prize Pick Bonus has a high bonus frequency but most wins will often be small. The bigger payouts will come during the less frequent Free Games.

Testing the Piggy Payout Slot with a £50 Bankroll

I managed to launch the Piggy Payout demo at the top of this page and set aside a £50 bankroll. For my test of the Piggy Payout slot, I set all 25 paylines active with a £0.02 bet per line. This totalled a £0.50 bet per spin. I then spun the reels 100 times.

The results from this test saw me down £4.18. Just a small loss and a small sample size but it shows how it can be difficult to land any decent winnings. I managed to activate the Prize Pick Bonus after spin 21 with three Sheep Scatter symbols. I got multipliers of x10, x10 and x2, which resulted in an £11 win.
