Piggy Riches slot: a straightforward five-reel video slot with a confirmed paytable
Piggy Riches doesn’t chase a jackpot theme or a novel grid mechanic; it’s a five-reel, fixed-payline slot built around a wealthy-pigs theme, with wilds, scatters and a free spins round doing the work a modern video slot is expected to do. What makes it worth this review’s confidence is that NetEnt publishes the actual numbers on its own game page: a 96.38% RTP, a 34% volatility rating on the studio’s own index, and a stated 2,400 times bet as the maximum win. That’s the kind of paper trail a lot of the slots on this shelf don’t have, and it’s worth naming plainly when a developer actually provides it.
The demo above runs on the same engine, and it’s the quickest way to watch the wild multiplier and the free spins selection screen in action rather than reading a description of both.
Symbols, paytable and features: wild multipliers and a choice of free spins
NetEnt’s own page describes an animated wild that substitutes for every symbol except the scatter, and multiplies a winning combination by three whenever it forms part of one. That multiplier climbs during the free spins round: the same page states it can reach up to 18 times during that feature, a meaningful jump from the base-game rate.
The free spins trigger itself works through three or more scatter symbols, and NetEnt describes something slightly different from a standard fixed-count bonus: the player picks one of several displayed win options, each showing its own combination of spin count and multiplier before the round begins. Extra scatters landing during the free spins round add further spins on top. Two or more scatters alone also pay out directly, at a multiplier of the total bet shown in the paytable, independent of whether the free spins trigger fires.
That choice mechanic is worth pausing on, since it’s a genuine decision point rather than a cosmetic flourish. Picking a higher multiplier with fewer spins concentrates the bonus round’s potential into a smaller number of bets, while a lower multiplier with more spins spreads that same potential across a longer sequence; neither is objectively better, and which suits you depends on whether you’d rather have a shorter, higher-variance bonus or a longer, steadier one.
The maths: 96.38% RTP, moderate volatility and what it costs per hour
At a confirmed 96.38% RTP, a €0.20 spin repeated 300 times in an hour puts €60 through the reels for a long-run average return near €57.83; NetEnt’s stated 34% volatility rating sits in a moderate range, meaning actual sessions will still swing noticeably around that average rather than tracking it closely, but without the extreme dry spells or occasional colossal hits of a high-volatility jackpot slot. At €1 a spin, the same ratios apply at five times the euro amounts.
Piggy Riches’ 2,400x max win is a meaningful ceiling to bear in mind against the moderate volatility rating; it suggests the game can pay big when a free spins round with a high multiplier option lines up, without the payout profile leaning entirely on that one outcome. For the exact expected cost of a session at your own stake size, the house edge tool on this site runs the calculation directly from the confirmed 96.38% figure.
At €1 a spin, the same 300 spins over an hour put €300 through the reels for a long-run average return near €289.14, five times the euro amounts at €0.20, at the same 3.62% house edge either way. The stake size changes the money at risk, not the percentage the game returns over time, which is the distinction worth holding onto whenever a bigger bet feels tempting.
Playing it in Ireland: casinos, stakes and the rules that apply
NetEnt content is widely carried among this site’s nine reviewed casinos. LeoVegas runs a library of over 4,700 slots across 48 studios, and Nomini goes further still at more than 11,000 slots across 104 studios, both of which make a NetEnt staple like Piggy Riches a reasonable bet to find, though only the casino’s own lobby search settles it for certain on any given day.
Deposits go through debit card, e-wallet or bank transfer at any of these casinos, since the Gambling Regulation Act 2024 bans credit-card funding for gambling outright. The Act’s €10 stake cap on certain casino-style games only takes effect once an operator holds a licence from the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland, a category not expected to open for applications until 2027, so it isn’t yet in force at the MGA- and UKGC-licensed casinos reviewed on this site.
Identity checks apply before a first withdrawal at any of these casinos, a photo ID and usually proof of address, regardless of which game produced the win. Completing that step when you first register, rather than waiting until a free spins round with a strong multiplier actually pays out, is the simplest way to avoid a delay on the withdrawal itself.
Who Piggy Riches suits, and who should pick something else
A player who wants a fully documented, moderate-volatility five-reel slot with wilds and a genuine choice mechanic in its free spins round gets exactly that here, with the RTP to back it up. A player chasing a bigger, uncapped jackpot is better served by Mega Fortune, and a player who wants something simpler still, fewer moving parts and a lower stated max win in exchange for straightforward gameplay, should try Starburst, another confirmed-RTP NetEnt title on this site.
The demo above settles which of the three actually suits your taste faster than any of this text can, and it’s worth trying the free spins choice screen at least once before deciding which multiplier-versus-spin-count trade-off you’d actually pick with real money on the line.
