Magic Piggy review
If there are two things you can rely on for delivering good slot action, it’s a pig-theme and Hacksaw Gaming. The two have come together for the Magic Piggy slot game. These are not the kind of pigs you’d meet in a slot like Piggy Riches, though, these are cheerful, golden pigs that are full of money. Well, at least we assume they are. Let’s find out just how rich these piggies can make you in the Magic Piggy slot review.
Magic Piggy Theme and Design
Hacksaw Gaming is not a studio that rushes out its releases, and it shows with their designs. Magic Piggy is another really charming outing from the studio. This is much more in line with the cheery nature of slots like Stack’Em or Keep ‘Em Cool than bleeker games like Rotten or Hand of Anubis. The titular piggies dance around the background of the reels, which are designed to look like a bank vault stacked with golden coins. It’s an infectious and happy design that will get you in the mood to spin the reels.
How to Play Magic Piggy
The slot's basic base game uses five reels and five rows, with 19 ways to win. This is the same set-up the developer uses in RIP City. In fact, there are several similarities between the two games, especially in the bonus rounds.
The winning potential here is solid, with the slot offering an 7,500x maximum win. The theoretical return to player is 96.19%, putting it marginally above the industry average. The slot is considered highly volatile.
Magic Piggy Bonus Features
The symbols you will want to look out for when you play are the Magic Piggy and the Magic Hat. The Magic Piggy is a Mystery symbol that will either be a Wild or a Bill Stack symbol if it lands with the Magic Hat. When this happens, all Magic Piggy symbols will transform into the same symbol. These will then have a multiplier attached that can be up to x1,000. One or more of the Piggy symbols can also be a Multiplier Coin with a value of up to x5. This will then multiply the value of the other stacks. This can lead to some big wins.
Like the aforementioned RIP City slot, Magic Piggy has two Free Spins rounds – the Pig Bonus and the Epig Bonus. The Pig Free Spins are launched with three Free Spins symbols. Players are given 10 spins. A collection meter is added to each reel. Every time a star or a superstar lands, it is collected above the reel until it is used. It is used when a Hat symbol lands. It will then add Piggy symbols to the reel equal to the number of stars collected. The meter resets after this happens. If you manage to fill a reel, then 10 additional spins are rewarded.
Four Free Spins symbols launch the Epig Bonus. This is the same as the Pig Bonus, with the only difference being that the stars do not reset after they have been paid out.
Depending on your location, you may also be allowed to buy your way into the bonus rounds. The biggest buy-in is x200 for the Epig Bonus.
Magic Piggy Slot Verdict
At the start, we said that pig-themed slots and Hacksaw Gaming are always dependable, and Magic Piggy proves our theory. This charming slot game mixes a delightful theme with some fun bonus features, volatile gameplay, and some solid winning potential. Add this one to the ever-growing list of top-quality Hacksaw Gaming slots.
