Pragmatic Play – Piggy Bank Bills

We’ve seen our fair share of slots with money schemes over the years, but none of them compare to Pragmatic Play’s piggy bank bills. Completing banknote halves to win is not only original, but can be quite exciting as each opposing reel position can lead to solid 1,000x payouts. In addition, you have 3 randomly triggered piggy features to help you out, making this a very balanced affair.

The retro-looking bills fill the gold-framed 6×3 grid nicely, and everything is accompanied by an upbeat soundtrack that seems to come straight from Hot Fiesta. Things get hot in the bonus round, as low value banknotes are removed one by one, and some bills land with x2 and x3 multipliers. This increases your chances of cracking the 5,000x potential that can literally occur on any spin at any stage of the game.

Bonus Features in Piggy Bank Bills

Symbols corresponding to half a banknote are displayed on each reel position , and the idea is to complete matching banknotes on reels 1 and 2, 3 and 4 and/or 5 and 6. You then win the prize value shown on the completed banknote and these values are as follows: 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 1,000 x your bet .

You can also land wild halves and these will replace all the banknote halves to help you complete a banknote. If you land 2 wild banknote halves opposite each other, they will merge into a randomly chosen regular banknote symbol .

There are 3 randomly triggered features that benefit you in the base game, as follows:

Piggy Bonus – The piggy can appear at random times and give you a chance to win the bonus round.
Piggy Win – the piggy can appear after the reels have stopped on a non-winning spin, and 2+ symbols will then be converted to turn the spin into a winner.
Piggy Wilds – the piggy can appear and place 2, 3 or 4 wilds randomly across the grid.

To trigger the bonus round, you need to complete 2 Free Spin symbol halves by landing them in opposite positions. They will then fuse into a full scatter bill that awards 8 free spins. You can also trigger the feature with 2 or 3 completed scatter bills. This will also award 8 free spins , but will remove 1 or 2 of the lowest value banknotes in advance .

Banknotes can end up with x2 or x3 multipliers in the bonus round, and these only apply if they are part of a completed winning banknote. If you get 2 multiplier halves that merge together, the multipliers involved will be multiplied together. The banknote with the current lowest value is removed at random times and semi-regularly during the feature.

The 200 Spins Piggy Bank Bills Experience

You can see a couple of 100x wins before we trigger the bonus round at 1:39 in the 2:53 minute highlights video. It was triggered with only 1 completed scatter ticket, but removing the symbol helped us a bit later in the feature. You can see it all for yourself by clicking the play button below.

Rating Conclusion

Banknotes are quickly becoming a thing of the past, and it’s very possible that a game like this will be played in a few years for its nostalgic value. Filling out bills to win prizes up to 1,000x per banknote is a pretty satisfying way to win, although the novelty factor will wear off eventually. Still, it’s a solid and innovative effort from Pragmatic Play.

With most slots, you’ll know pretty quickly whether a particular spin is a winner or not. In Piggy Bank Bills, however, you’ll be kept on your toes until the bitter end, as a single completed banknote on the very last reel can lead to bigger wins. Throw a combined multiplier into the mix during the bonus round and you can pocket up to 5,000x from a single hand.
