How Piggy Riches plays
Piggy Riches is one of NetEnt’s early hits: five reels, three rows, 15 lines, and a family of wealthy pigs surrounded by cash, cards and cars. The Mr Piggy wild substitutes for regular symbols and triples any win it is part of, which is where most base-game value comes from.
Three or more Mrs Piggy scatters trigger free spins. Before they start you pick a trade-off between quantity and size: more spins at a modest multiplier, or fewer spins at up to 6x. In the free spins the tripling wild stacks with the chosen multiplier, so a wild win at 6x pays 18 times its line value.
Volatility in practice
Medium. The base game pays regularly thanks to the tripling wild; the bonus decides whether a session ends ahead. The high-multiplier option makes the bonus swingier, the long option smoother. Over many bonuses both choices have the same expected value; the choice only changes the shape.
RTP settings
96.38% is the highest published setting. Like most older NetEnt titles, Piggy Riches has lower operator settings available, and some casinos use them. Check the info panel inside the game for the setting your casino runs.
