Piggy Blitz

Piggy Blitz: Slot Overview

Are you the sort of person who hoards coins in a piggy bank until the thing is overflowing, or would you prefer to spend every penny that comes your way? Maybe you're not sure? No judgement in any scenario, by the way; just trying to think of a way to introduce Piggy Blitz, a coin and piggy bank-themed slot from software provider Play'n GO. Piggy banks and pigs, in general, are popular slot tropes, as are coin collection features of which Piggy Blitz is built around. In the base game, Piggy Banks collect Coins, a feat repeated in free spins when the bonus round triggers.

As well as the Piggy Bank and Coin elements, Piggy Blitz thrusts players into a game show-like environment of flashing lights and sundry jingles and whistles. The gaming board looks like it's up on stage, whether performing or being part of a TV show is up for players to decide, but whatever the case, Piggy Blitz is a rather energetic game. However, it also comes across as pretty generic at times, too. To nutshell Piggy Blitz's atmos, let's just say it sits on a scale between okay and jazzy without being one of those party of the decade events.

Played on a 6-reel, 4-row grid matrix, Piggy Blitz supplies 4,096 ways to win. Regular wins occur when matching symbols land on consecutive reels starting from reel number 1 onwards. Medium volatile, rated 4 out of 10, which is quite low for a Play'n GO slot, Piggy Blitz is available in five RTP configurations, bearing a default value of 96.25%. Players can pick stakes ranging from 10 p/c to $/€100 per spin, and its maximum winning potential has a probability of being hit of 1 in a billion.

Being the funky slot it is, Piggy Blitz fills its paytable with gambling symbols veteran players will be well acquainted with. These are 10 through A card ranks as the low pays, then a casino chip, dice, a bell, and a diamond as the 4 premium symbols. Hitting a combination of 6 matching royals pays out 1 to 2 times the bet, while landing 6 of the high pay symbols in a combo is worth 3 to 8 times the stake. Stars are wild, and they substitute for all symbols except Piggy Blitz's scatter.

Piggy Blitz: Slot Features

The name of the game around here is collecting Cash Coins and triggering Blitz Spinz, where Cash Coins can again be collected. Here's how the extras function.

Cash Coins

Cash Coins land on the reels and possess bet values of 0.1x to 25x. Minor, Major, or Mega Cash Coins hold values of 100x, 250x, or 1,000x the bet, respectively. Cash Coins are collected by landing up to 2 Piggy Bank symbols on the first or last reel. Only 1 Piggy Bank symbol can land on the first reel and 1 Piggy Bank symbol on the last. Hitting 2 Piggy Bank symbols will collect all Cash Coins in view twice. The Minor, Major, and Mega Cash Coins are collected by Piggy Banks as well and can also be collected twice.

Biltz Spinz

Landing 3 to 6 scatter symbols triggers the Blitz Spinz feature. During Blitz Spinz, only Cash Coins and Piggy Banks may land. When the feature is triggered by 3 scatters, then 5 free spins and the Minor Cash Prize is active, 4 triggering scatters award 10 free spins with the Minor and Major Cash Prizes active, while 5 triggering scatters award 25 free spins with the Minor, Major, and Mega Cash Coin active. Doing the ultimate by triggering the feature with 6 scatter symbols means the Minor, Major and Mega Cash Coins are active with 50 free spins.

Piggy Blitz: Slot Verdict

Piggy Blitz is the sort of game you might imagine a youthful, starry-eyed studio came up with rather than a developer with as much experience and hits under its belt as Play'n GO has. We might be being a bit cynical since not every release can be a heavyweight contender, but even when taking that into consideration, Piggy Blitz is still pretty average stuff. The piggy element is light, interesting features are sparse, and the gaming is pretty predictable. Not the most explosive work ever seen pour forth from the Play'n GO production line, in other words.

Play'n GO knows its stuff, though, no doubt there, and very likely, there will be players in the studio's scope who may be lining up to give this sort of game a blast. It's not exactly complicated stuff, which can be a benefit sometimes. There's certainly no wondering what the heck just happened after it occurred on the reels, which can happen, let's say when playing a Nolimit City head-scratcher. Really, all there is to it is to land Cash Coins and Piggy Banks at the same time and watch their values slide into your online pocket. If you're really lucky, one or more of the named Cash Coins gets collected, and the game's winning potential of 5,000x the bet is a respectable total for gamblers to aim their sights on. One of the downers is that the more valuable Cash Coins are not available in Blitz Spinz rounds triggered by 3 or 4 scatter symbols, which kinda sucks. However, when factoring in the game show-like funk with the finer moments that Piggy Blitz possesses, the whole shebang might hit the right spot when held in the right hands.

Piggy Blitz might not be one of those parties that all the cool kids shun, yet it's hardly front page TMZ news. Its capabilities are somewhat limited, but it does what it does okay, so as a straightforward coin collector, it gets a certain job done. Stats are okay, winning potential is okay, maybe we'll wrap up by saying Piggy Blitz is okay, at best, too.
