Piggy Blitz Casino Gold

Piggy Blitz Casino Gold: Slot Overview

Online slot Piggy Blitz Casino Gold continues Play'n GO's porcine parade through the glitzy side of the sty. There are three of them now, though the first two in the series didn't exactly yeet socks off, so it is with cautious trepidation that we approach the third instalment. Then again, some changes have occurred, including a tweaked multiplier and a brand new location for the blitzing to take place, so who knows? Let's join the party with a positive mindset and see how the shindig unfolds. Three times the charm, as they say, after all.

Where Piggy Blitz and Piggy Blitz Disco Gold had something of a musical, show feel, Piggy Blitz Casino Gold moves the action to a brand new venue, where the focus has a full-on gambling basis. As the name suggests, Piggy Blitz Casino Gold looks like what would happen if a cartoon pig threw a party in Vegas - bright lights, banks of physical slot machines, chromed interior, a bit tacky, a bit flamboyant, all that sort of thing. It's quite high energy, on account of the visual and aural bling, topped by four prizes running along the top of the gaming area, and while their values aren't colossal, they can be multiplied, which helps equip the game with the largest win cap of the series so far.

Like the game that came before it, Piggy Blitz Casino Gold runs on a medium-volatility math model, though its RTP is slightly lower at 96.25%, with additional reduced configurations also available. Stakes range from $/€0.10 to $/€100 per spin, and the symbol action takes place on a 6×4 grid offering 4,096 ways to win.

Starting at the bottom of the symbol hierarchy are clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades, and crowns, paying 1 to 2 times the stake for 6-of-a-kind. Then come higher paying cards, banknotes, dice, and bells, awarding 3x to 8x the bet for a 6 matching symbol combination. Star-shaped wilds are able to substitute for all symbols except scatters, Piggy Banks, and Cash Coins.

Piggy Blitz Casino Gold: Slot Features

On the features side, players get Cash Coins, Piggy Bank collection, a Bonus Game Multiplier, Blitz Spinz, and Bonus Spinz.

Cash Coins

Cash Coins land with values of 0.2x to 25x the bet, while the Mini, Minor, Major, and Mega Cash Coins have values of 50x, 100x, 250x, or 1,000x, respectively. Cash Coin values are awarded when a Piggy Bank symbol lands on the leftmost or rightmost reels. If two Piggy Banks land, the values are awarded twice, including the named Coins. If 2 Piggy Bank symbols land in the base game but no Cash Coins, a respin occurs where only Cash Coins may land, though not the named Coin prizes.

Piggy Collection

When Cash Coins land but no Piggy Bank, they are collected by the Piggy near the reels. When a Coin is collected, there is a chance a random prize is awarded, worth 10x to 5,000x the bet.

Bonus Game Multiplier

The Bonus Game Multiplier is not active in the base game, but it can be increased in that phase. It begins at x1, and its meter is filled by 1 out of 10 segments when 2 scatters land on a spin. Once full, the Bonus Game Multiplier increases by +1, up to a maximum of x5. The multiplier is active during Blitz Spinz and Bonus Spinz, multiplying all wins. At the end of a bonus game, the multiplier resets to its starting position.

Bonus Game

Landing 3 to 6 scatters gives players the chance to choose Blitz Spinz, Bonus Spinz, or Mystery Spinz. Mystery Spinz randomly triggers Blitz Spinz or Bonus Spinz if chosen.

• Blitz Spinz - 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters award 5, 10, 15, or 25 Blitz Spinz, respectively. Only Cash Coins and Piggy Banks may land during this feature, including the Mini, Minor, Major, and Mega. Piggy Banks are guaranteed. Up to 25 Blitz Spinz can be won.
• Bonus Spinz - 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters award 8, 10, 15, or 25 Bonus Spinz. Scatters are collected during the round, and 4 of them unlock a new stage, awarding +8 free spins each stage unlock. Starting Stage 1 is the Bonus Game Multiplier and initial Bonus Spinz. When achieving Stage 2, Stage 3, and Stage 4, the Bonus Game Multiplier grows by 5, 10, and 15, respectively. Only the Bell, card suits, crown and the wild are present in Bonus Spinz. The maximum number of Bonus Spinz is 49, and the maximum multiplier is x75.

Piggy Blitz Casino Gold: Slot Verdict

Piggy Blitz Casino Gold is a flashy, casino-soaked entry in Play'n GO's piggy range that attempts to give the now trilogy a jolt of energy. The shift from a sort of music, show-themed vibe to Vegas-inspired glitz works pretty well, giving the game a new identity and helping it stand apart from its predecessors, which isn't the worst thing, since they were a tad mediocre. Piggy Blitz Casino Gold turns up the blend of jackpot-type prizes, multiplier, and coin-collecting action, so gamblers who enjoyed the last two get something bigger, arguably punchier to savour this time around.

For others, what's here isn't likely to be punchy enough for Piggy Blitz Casino Gold to make much more of an impact than those that came before it. What does help give the game some momentum is the way the Bonus Game Multiplier can be grown before being able to use it during a bonus round. Loosening the upper ceiling value might have added even more impetus to keep spinning on, but a starting x5 multiplier might turn out to be useful when a bonus round triggers. The rest of Piggy Blitz Casino Gold operates pretty closely to Piggy Blitz Disco Gold - free spins provide a levelling up mission, while Blitz Spinz lets players chase Cash Coins.

In other words, it's good if you like this sort of stuff, but it's another mediocre release for those who remain ambivalent. On the positive side, Piggy Blitz Casino Gold is a visually sassy and energetic slot, with plenty of fun-luvin' piggy attitude. Winning potential has been expanded to 8,000x the bet, and there is a better probability of that occurring than the original, which is something. In short, for players who enjoy funky, flashy slots with coins and jackpot-style prizes, Piggy Blitz Casino Gold might keep them entertained.
