Piggy Riches Megaways slot review

Piggy Riches Megaways slot in brief

Red Tiger released this game in January 2020. The studio’s licence to use Big Time Gaming’s Megaways engine was reported in October 2018, as Gambling Insider covered at the time (opens in a new tab), and this was one of the games that followed.

Red Tiger was founded in 2014, bought by NetEnt in September 2019 and has been part of Evolution since December 2020, alongside NetEnt, Big Time Gaming and Nolimit City. Our Red Tiger slots on mobile page covers its daily drop jackpots and other titles.

How the features work in Piggy Riches Megaways

The game layers three ideas on top of a standard Megaways grid. Each is simple on its own; the interest comes from how they stack within one spin.

Cascading wins

When a spin forms a win, the winning symbols are removed and new ones fall into the gaps. If the new symbols form another win, it pays and the process repeats. One paid spin can therefore produce a chain of wins at no extra cost.

Mr Piggy Riches wild and the Mega Wild

Mr Piggy Riches is the wild, standing in for other symbols to complete wins. He can also land as a Mega Wild that covers a whole reel and carries a multiplier. When more than one multiplier wild is involved in a win, their multipliers combine. The help screen gives the exact multiplier values and how they are combined.

Lady Pig scatters and the free spins wheel

Three or more Lady Pig scatters trigger free spins. A wheel then decides how many spins you get. During the round a win multiplier increases with every win or cascade, so a long chain of cascades in the round pushes later wins higher.

Piggy Riches Megaways RTP: why the version matters

The published RTP for this slot is 95.71%, but lower versions may exist. Developers often supply a game at several RTP settings and each casino chooses which to run. The version is not tied to whether you play in an app or a browser; it is a choice the operator makes for its whole platform.

The Gambling Commission’s RTS 3 standard on game rules and the likelihood of winning (opens in a new tab) requires players to be given information about a game’s return. In practice that means the game’s help or info screen. Every percentage point of RTP is worth £1 per £100 staked, so it is worth checking.

The lower rows are arithmetic examples, not confirmed versions. Our guide to finding a game’s RTP in an app shows where the figure is usually displayed, and our answer to whether RTP is lower on casino apps clears up a common myth.

Piggy Riches Megaways slot on a £20 budget at 10p, 50p and £1

High volatility shapes how a £20 budget behaves. The game pays back most of its return through less frequent, larger results, including those from the free spins round, so the base game can run cold for long stretches.

The middle column is the same at every stake because it is 4.29% of £20. What changes is how many spins you get and how wide the swings are. At £1 a spin, 20 spins may not include a single free spins round; at 10p, the same money gives ten times the chances. Neither stake makes a win likely, and over time losses are the expected outcome.

Wizard of Odds’ explanation of slot maths (opens in a new tab) sets out why no staking pattern changes the house edge. If you are new to slots, our low stakes casino games page has ideas for keeping costs small.

Piggy Riches Megaways on a phone or tablet

The game is built in HTML5, so it runs in casino apps and mobile browsers on iPhone, iPad and Android. Red Tiger does not state whether it is designed for portrait or landscape. With up to seven rows on six reels, it can display 42 symbols at once, so a larger screen or landscape view helps you follow cascades.

1. Pick a UK-licensed app and install it from the official store listing. Our guides cover iPhone downloads and Android installs.
2. Verify your age and identity. This is required before any deposit or play, demo games included.
3. Set a deposit limit when prompted before your first deposit, and consider a session reminder.
4. Search the app’s lobby for Piggy Riches Megaways; not every app carries it.
5. Open the help screen, check the RTP version and the multiplier rules, then choose your stake.

If you often play away from Wi-Fi, our guide on casino app data usage explains what affects it.

UK rules on Piggy Riches Megaways in apps

Under the Gambling Commission’s RTS 14 responsible product design rules (opens in a new tab), a UK version has no autoplay, no turbo and no slam-stop, and each spin lasts at least 2.5 seconds. The game also cannot use celebratory effects for a return that is equal to or below your stake.

Maximum stakes are £5 for players aged 25 and over and £2 for those aged 18 to 24. Since a Gambling Commission warning in January 2020, feature buy-ins are not offered to British players, so free spins come only from landing Lady Pig scatters. Our pages on game design rules and slot stake limits give the dates and detail.

Piggy Riches Megaways vs Piggy Riches 2 Megaways

Red Tiger released a follow-up, Piggy Riches 2 Megaways, in 2024. Its published figures show a different shape of game rather than a straight upgrade.

Same return and the same ways, but the sequel swaps the free spins round for a Hold & Respin bonus and roughly doubles the ceiling. Our hold and win glossary entry explains how respin bonuses usually work.
