You Can Piggy Bank on It: Slot Overview

Money symbol collection slots are always in demand, and Pragmatic Play partner Reel Kingdom has been one of the most successful studios in this niche. The developer’s Big Bass Bonanza series has become a fixture in online casinos, a juggernaut that keeps rolling on. While this isn’t officially a Big Bass Bonanza entry, You Can Piggy Bank on It is clearly a spin-off of the fishing formula, swapping fish for pigs and centring the gameplay on Money symbol collection, with a distinctive twist added to the free spins portion.

Two cheerful pigs tag along as players try to pop the vault, and it’s easy to see why they’re smiling—they’ve already broken into the bank and are scooping up the haul. Of course, getting in is only half the story. Now they’ve got to make their escape, find somewhere to hide out, and start counting the proceeds—assuming the police don’t catch up first. Still, it’s hard not to enjoy the fantasy of piggies (responsibly) living large while they can, ideally with money earned the right way. After all, there’s no such thing as a victimless crime.

You Can Piggy Bank on It runs on a 5×3, 10-payline main grid, plus a 5×3 mini-grid that stays locked in the vault during the base game and only becomes available once the bonus is in play. Bets range from 10 c to $/€250, and there’s also an ante bet option that raises the stake by 50% in exchange for a higher chance of triggering the free spins feature. Behind the scenes sits a highly volatile math model, with a top theoretical RTP of 96.53%.

Symbols include 10-A card ranks, Money symbols, gold bars, bags, safes, and a bank icon. Five-of-a-kind royals return 10x the bet, while the premium symbols pay 20x to 200x for 5 OAK. Money symbols arrive with values of 0.2x to 200x the bet, but they can only be collected during free spins. Free spins are also the only time the TNT Wild shows up—appearing on all reels, substituting for standard pay symbols, and also capable of awarding Money symbol values.

You Can Piggy Bank on It: Slot Features

As with other collector-style titles from Reel Kingdom, the base game in You Can Piggy Bank on It is fairly quiet. The bonus round starts when 3, 4, or 5 scatters land, awarding 10, 15, or 20 free spins respectively. When the feature begins, the vault above the main reels swings open to show 14 Money symbols. Money symbols stored in the vault carry values of 0.2x to 10x the bet.

While the feature is running, whenever the Wild TNT lands, it first collects and awards the values of all Money symbols on the grid. Then the middle position on the main grid transforms into a special position that initially shows a Pigs symbol. After that, the Money symbols from the vault drop down onto the main grid and are collected. Next, the middle position spins and stops on either Pigs or a Police symbol. If Pigs lands, the vault values are collected, the vault symbols refresh to random values, and the game respins the middle position. If a Police symbol lands in the middle position, respins end. During the feature, landing 3 scatters awards an extra +10 free spins. Scatters can appear on all reels in the base game, but in the bonus they only appear on the leftmost, middle, and rightmost reels.

Feature Buy

The bonus round can be activated immediately by purchasing it for 100x the bet, which drops 3, 4, or 5 scatters to start the feature.

You Can Piggy Bank on It: Slot Verdict

Love it or hate it, Reel Kingdom has a particular knack for high volatile, lower-ceiling Money symbol collector slots. You Can Piggy Bank on It isn’t a fishing game, but it clearly shares DNA with the Big Bass Bonanza wave. As with that relative, the base game here can feel flat since TNT Wilds can’t appear outside the bonus. That said, the regular symbol payouts are decent enough, and players may need a couple of stronger base hits to bridge the gap until free spins arrive and the Money collection really starts.

It’s in free spins that You Can Piggy Bank on It shows its more inventive side, thanks to the mini-grid of prize values stored in the vault above the reels. The amounts held there aren’t massive, admittedly. Even if every one of them landed at 10x, the total would still be lower than a single max 200x Money symbol on the main grid. But the ability to repeatedly collect vault values—so long as Pig symbols keep landing in the middle position—can help offset that limitation and occasionally deliver a welcome jolt. On the downside, You Can Piggy Bank on It isn’t a big-potential slot, sharing the same win cap as the original Big Bass Bonanza at 2,100x the bet, though the odds of hitting the max win are notably better in this one.

Overall, You Can Piggy Bank on It is a serviceable Money collector slot at best. It comes from a team that clearly understands the format and should appeal to a specific segment of players. Still, it’s not an especially strong entry. The maximum payout is small in the wider context, and pairing that with high volatility feels slightly mismatched. Then again, that same mix worked for Big Bass Bonanza, so it may find its fans.
