Piggy Blitz: Slot Overview

Do you stash spare change in a piggy bank until it’s bursting, or do you spend it as soon as you get it? Maybe you’re somewhere in between. Either way, it’s a handy way to tee up Piggy Blitz, a coin-collecting, piggy bank-themed slot from software provider Play’n GO. Pigs and piggy banks are familiar slot staples, and so are coin collection mechanics—something Piggy Blitz leans on heavily. In the base game, Piggy Banks gather Coins, and the same idea carries over into free spins once the bonus round is activated.

Beyond the Piggy Bank and Coin focus, Piggy Blitz drops players into a game show-style setting packed with flashing lights plus assorted jingles, whistles, and fanfare. The reels look like they’re set up on a stage—whether it’s a performance or a TV show is up to you—but either way, Piggy Blitz brings plenty of energy. At the same time, it can feel a bit standard in places. In short, the vibe lands somewhere between decent and jazzy, without quite turning into a once-in-a-lifetime blowout.

Running on a 6-reel, 4-row grid, Piggy Blitz offers 4,096 ways to win. Standard payouts land when matching symbols appear on consecutive reels starting from reel number 1. With Medium volatile gameplay, rated 4 out of 10 (notably low for a Play’n GO slot), Piggy Blitz comes in five RTP setups, with a default of 96.25%. Bets can be set from 10 p/c to $/€100 per spin, and its top win potential carries a hit probability of 1 in a billion.

Keeping with its casino-flavoured style, Piggy Blitz stocks the paytable with familiar gambling-themed icons. Card ranks 10 through A make up the low pay symbols, followed by a casino chip, dice, a bell, and a diamond as the 4 premium symbols. A line-up of 6 matching royals returns 1 to 2 times the bet, while 6 of the higher-paying symbols in a combination pays 3 to 8 times the stake. Stars act as wild symbols, substituting for everything except Piggy Blitz’s scatter.

Piggy Blitz: Slot Features

The main objective here is to land Cash Coins and set off Blitz Spinz, where Cash Coins can be gathered again. This is how the bonus elements work.

Cash Coins

Cash Coins appear on the reels with bet values of 0.1x to 25x. Minor, Major, or Mega Cash Coins carry 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. Landing 2 Piggy Bank symbols will collect all Cash Coins in view twice. Minor, Major, and Mega Cash Coins are also collected by Piggy Banks, and these can be collected twice as well.

Biltz Spinz

Hitting 3 to 6 scatter symbols activates the Blitz Spinz feature. While Blitz Spinz is running, only Cash Coins and Piggy Banks may land. If the feature is triggered with 3 scatters, you receive 5 free spins and the Minor Cash Prize is active; 4 triggering scatters grant 10 free spins with the Minor and Major Cash Prizes active; and 5 triggering scatters award 25 free spins with the Minor, Major, and Mega Cash Coin active. Going all the way by triggering with 6 scatter symbols means the Minor, Major and Mega Cash Coins are active alongside 50 free spins.

Piggy Blitz: Slot Verdict

Piggy Blitz feels more like something you’d expect from a fresh, eager studio than from a developer with the track record and catalogue that Play’n GO has. Maybe that’s a touch harsh—after all, not every release can be a knockout—but even with that in mind, Piggy Blitz still lands as fairly middle-of-the-road. The piggy theme is only lightly used, the standout features are limited, and the gameplay tends to be quite foreseeable. In other words, it’s not exactly the most thrilling entry to roll off the Play’n GO production line.

That said, Play’n GO clearly knows what it’s doing, and there will almost certainly be players in its audience who are happy to give this kind of slot a spin. It’s also refreshingly simple, which can be a plus. You’re unlikely to be left wondering what just happened on the reels—something that can occur, for instance, in a Nolimit City head-scratcher. Essentially, you’re aiming to land Cash Coins and Piggy Banks together and then watch the collected values drop into your online balance. If fortune really smiles, one or more of the named Cash Coins gets picked up, and the game’s win potential of 5,000x the bet is a solid target to chase. One drawback is that the higher-value Cash Coins aren’t available in Blitz Spinz rounds triggered by 3 or 4 scatter symbols, which is a bit of a letdown. Still, when you combine the game show-style funk with the better moments Piggy Blitz does deliver, it may click for the right type of player.

Piggy Blitz isn’t the kind of event everyone avoids, but it’s also not headline-making material. Its range is somewhat narrow, yet it performs its role well enough—so as a straightforward coin collector, it gets the job done. The stats are fine, the win potential is fine, and to close things out, Piggy Blitz is fine—at best.
