Piggy Riches Megaways

Red Tiger Gaming

When Red Tiger took NetEnt’s beloved Piggy Riches and rebuilt it on the Megaways engine, the brief was obvious but the execution was not: keep the champagne-and-cash character intact while handing players tens of thousands of extra ways to win. Having logged more sessions on this title than we can reasonably count, our read is that it largely succeeds — with a few caveats worth knowing before you press spin.

What is Piggy Riches Megaways?

Piggy Riches Megaways is a high-volatility slot that reimagines a 2016 NetEnt classic through Red Tiger’s Megaways licence. The premise is unchanged — a cast of impossibly wealthy pigs flaunting jewels, cigars and stacks of banknotes — but the mathematics underneath is entirely new. Instead of fixed paylines, the reel heights shift each spin, generating anywhere from a few hundred to the full 117,649 ways to win. That variability is the whole point, and it is why the game feels so different from its predecessor despite the shared branding.

How to play Piggy Riches Megaways

Set your stake using the bet control, then spin. Wins are formed by matching symbols on adjacent reels reading left to right, with the number of ways recalculated on every spin as the reels resize. In our experience the base game leans on frequent small hits to keep your balance ticking over, while the meaningful money sits behind the free spins. Newcomers should treat the displayed way count as a live indicator of a spin’s potential rather than a guarantee.

Cascading reactions

Every winning combination triggers a tumble: the successful symbols are removed and fresh ones drop in, potentially chaining multiple wins from a single paid spin. This mechanic is the engine of the game’s better base-game moments.

Features & bonus round

The headline feature is free spins, entered via scatter symbols. What separates this release from a generic Megaways clone is the progressive multiplier: rather than resetting, the multiplier climbs with each successful cascade during the bonus and does not fall back between spins, so a hot streak can compound into a genuinely large number. Wild multipliers reinforce this in both the base game and the feature. It is a well-judged structure — patient, occasionally explosive, and the reason the 10,000x ceiling is realistically reachable rather than purely theoretical.

Graphics, sound & theme

Visually the game is polished without reinventing anything: gilded framing, the familiar tuxedoed pigs, a jazzy lounge soundtrack and satisfying coin effects on wins. It is presentation in service of atmosphere rather than spectacle, and it holds up well on both desktop and mobile.

Pros

  • Up to 117,649 ways with a well-tuned cascade engine
  • Progressive free-spins multiplier that doesn’t reset
  • Faithful, characterful reworking of a genuine classic
  • Realistic path to the 10,000x top prize
  • Runs cleanly across devices

Cons

  • Standard RTP is below the market average, and lower variants exist
  • High volatility can punish shorter bankrolls
  • Base game can feel flat between features
  • Bonus is where nearly all the value lives
4.3/5  —  Our verdict

A confidently made Megaways adaptation that respects its source material and delivers a genuinely rewarding bonus. The sub-average RTP keeps it from a top-tier score, but for players who understand high-variance maths and check which build their casino is running, this remains a dependable, well-engineered pick.
