Everything looks normal until you see that the bank tellers are all portly pigs. These comical characters are waiting to serve you some serious payouts if you land the right icons on the reels.
Piggy Bank Bonanza is a 5-reel, 3-row, 243-ways-pay slot with a straightforward design and quirky theme that’s perfect for players looking for some easy fun. No need to learn a new strategy or change the way you play with this one; it follows the standard format for online slot games here at Bodog Casino.
After testing it, we decided to add it to our roster of casino games where it’s already gaining a following. The unique theme, clever name, and inclusion of key bonus features in the base game make it a must-try for players looking for something fresh and new.
In this Piggy Bank Bonanza slot review, we look at the game’s design and format, explaining how the payouts work. Then we go over the key bonus features and Hold and Win round, which is very popular with slot players right now. We’ll close things off with a reminder on the best way to play real money casino games at Bodog.
Gameplay & Design
Piggy Bank Bonanza uses the standard 5-reel, 3-row format that’s popular with online slots in our casino. That familiarity enables you to launch a session and follow the action with ease.
The reels spin over an amusing backdrop that showcases a pig-managed bank. Everything looks like a typical bank except for the “tellers” are well-dressed hogs. The animations are impressive and on par with the other Dragon Gaming slots in our casino.
The game’s standard icons are classified as high or low. The high ones pay more and include the following themed symbols:
– a pig dressed in a tuxedo
– a briefcase stuffed with cash
– a wad of bills
– a stack of gold coins
Low icons, on the other hand, pay less and include the standard card ranks: J, Q, K and A. With both high and low symbols, just two matches (or more) are needed to trigger a payout.
Keep in mind, the matching symbols do not need to line up on a payline in Piggy Bank Bonanza. This 243-ways-pay slot simply requires matching symbols to land on consecutive reels, starting with the first one and moving right, making it easy to spot wins.
How much you win depends on how much you bet. Each round has you bet 25 coins, with the smallest coin denomination being $0.01 (for a $0.25-spin) and the biggest coin denomination being $4 (for a $100 spin). The payouts on the paytable show how many coins you’d win for each set of matches.
Payouts range from a single coin to a maximum of 2297X your bet. With a 95.53% Return to Player (RTP) rate and medium volatility, this game has a balanced approach to payout size and frequency, making it well-suited for a wide range of slot players.
Key Features
From a multitude of wilds to a Hold & Win round that has a grand prize, Piggy Bank Bonanza has enough bonus features to keep even the most seasoned slot players entertained.
Wild
This game is loaded with wilds. We’ll start with the standard one, which is a symbol of a pig poking its head out of a sack of bills. Like all wilds, this icon substitutes for standard game symbols to create winning lines when possible.
For example, if you land one J and a wild on consecutive reels (starting on the first one), the wild turns into a J and completes the win. The standard wild in Piggy Bank Bonanza can land on Reels No. 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Nudging Wild
Keep your eyes on the middle reel because this is where the game’s Nudging Wild can land. The special “nudging” feature means it will nudge up or down the reel to fill it entirely, giving you better odds of winning a payout. On top of that, any wins it helps facilitate enjoy a payout boost from a random multiplier that could be 2X, 3X, 5X, 8X or 10X.
Nudging Wild: Second Chance
Seeing the wild nudge up or down the reel typically leads to a payout since the entire reel will be wild. But in case it doesn’t, you get a second chance. Watch the wild reel stay in place while the first, second, fourth and fifth reels re-spin. This feature happens just once per losing spin.
Random Wilds
Another type of wild included in the game is the random wild. This one appears only with rounds where you don’t trigger the game’s Hold and Win feature or Nudging Wild. The random wilds can go over top of any regular game symbol on Reels No. 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Anytime the random wild helps create a win, another one will drop somewhere on Reels No. 2 or 3 for an extra chance to win.
Vault Reveal Symbols
Certain spots on the reels are Mystery Vault landings spots. Mystery Vault symbols land there and reveal a unifying matching symbol, with the exception of wilds and special symbols. Since the Vault Reveal spots are clustered together, there’s a good chance they lead to some kind of win.
Bonus Rounds
Hold and Win Feature
One of the best features in this game is the Hold and Win bonus round. To trigger it, you need to land six or more special Coin symbols anywhere on the reels. The Coin symbols show a cash prize (1X to 10X your bet), or Mini (15X), Minor (30X), or Major (200X) prize, all of which correspond to the jackpots above the reels.
The Hold & Win round is three spins on a special set of reels where the Coin symbols stay in place for the duration of the round. If you land any more Coin symbols, they stay in place too and reset the tally to three more re-spins.
If you manage to fill all 15 spots on the reels with Coin symbols, you get the grand prize of 2000X your bet and you get to collect the cash values displayed on the Coin symbols. If you don’t fill all 15 spots, don’t worry, you still get to collect all of the cash prizes from the Coin symbols on the reels—and they add up fast.
Buy Bonus
A quick way to access the Hold and Win feature is through the game’s “Buy Bonus” button. This costs 50X your bet and gives you a chance to adjust your stake, which impacts the total cost for the bonus. Enjoy your time in the bank’s vault.
