Piggy Riches
Piggy Riches is a 5x3 video slot from NetEnt with 15 paylines and a luxury-pig parody theme that still feels recognisable years after release. From a math perspective, it sits in the medium-volatility bracket with 96.38% RTP. The key hook is simple, a 3x wild in the base game and a pick-your-path Free Spins round that lets you trade spin count for multiplier strength.
What symbols are there?
Money bags are the top regular symbol, paying x133.33 for five on a payline. Below that sit the gold credit card at x66.66, luxury car keys at x50, the purse at x26.66, and the piggy bank at x13.33. Low symbols run from 10 to A, topping out at x8.33 for five A symbols. Looking at the paytable structure, premium hits matter far more than card-value wins.
Mr Piggy is the wild and substitutes for every regular symbol except Madam Piggy, the scatter. Any line win that includes the wild gets a 3x multiplier, which is the main source of base-game punch. Madam Piggy also pays anywhere, with 2, 3, 4, or 5 scatters returning 2x, 4x, 15x, or 100x respectively.

What are the bonus features?
Free spins trigger from 3 or more Madam Piggy scatters. With 3 scatters, the setup is fixed around three choices, 22 free spins at 2x, 15 free spins at 3x, or 9 free spins at 5x. The numbers tell you these options cluster around a similar headline profile, but the variance shifts sharply, more spins smooth the ride, fewer spins push higher short-term swing.
Some reviews also note expanded choice sets from 4 and 5 scatters, with up to 28 free spins in total and a multiplier ceiling of 6x. During the feature, each new scatter adds 1 extra free spin. From a math perspective, that re-trigger style is modest but useful because it extends multiplier exposure rather than changing the reel model. There is no Bonus Buy and no separate bonus game.
Bonus Buy Options
Triggered by 3 or more scatters. With 3 scatters, the choices are 22 free spins at 2x, 15 free spins at 3x, or 9 free spins at 5x. Extra scatters during the feature award 1 additional free spin each.
Volatility: Medium
RTP and Variance
96.38% RTP puts Piggy Riches in a healthy long-run range for a legacy video slot. Volatility is consistently described as medium, though one source pushes it slightly higher. I side with medium, because the paytable is relatively flat outside premium lines, the 3x wild adds frequent lift, and the bonus does not rely on extreme multiplier ladders or rare screen-wide states.
Max win is the one area where source data diverges. I see 2400x from one source, 2746x from another, and older coin-based descriptions that translate differently by stake settings. Either way, the ceiling is modest by current standards. Not everyone will enjoy that, especially if you chase huge tail-end potential. Base-game hit flow is steadier than modern high-volatility slots, but the base game can drag a bit.
