Piggy Bank Slot Machines Overview

Atmosphere / Background

At first glance, it’s hard to determine what the theme of the game is. Pigs
are involved, but there’s a stark contrast between the symbols and the
background elements.

The background features lush green grass with a house in the distance, so it
looks like we’re in a backyard. At the top of the screen, there’s a blue sky
with moving clouds, and a happy sun – literally, the sun has a face, and it’s
smiling.

The screen is adorned in playful colors, like yellow, pink, and blue, and the
spin button is a giant yellow and orange flower.

All of this would be perfect for a barnyard-themed game, but when looking at
the symbols and the title, you’ll realize this is actually a game about pig bank
robbers. With that said, there’s a disconnect between the symbols and the
background.

Music and Sound Effects

Instead of music, the game has a loop of chirping birds with the occasional
beeping horn – the typical sounds you’ll hear in the backyard. One thing that
confused us is the random moo you’ll hear, as we’re definitely not in a barnyard
in this scene, but maybe there’s one next door.

The noises go well with the background, but again, this element is also
unrelated to the symbols and the bank-robbing theme.

Other than the music, there’s the sound of the reels spinning, a “boing”
sound when you click spin, and a short melody that plays for winning payouts.

Animations

The pigs move their heads side to side and will jump and move around when
involved in a winning payout.

There’s also a marquee below the reels that tells you how many spins you have
when using the auto bet function. It will also tell you the total credits won in
each round, and it displays random phrases of encouragement, like “this little
piggy won the top prize” and “piggy-back home?”

Piggy Bank Pay Table and Graphics

The Piggy Bank slot machine has an entire community of different pigs. The
game has the bank robber, the law enforcement, the innocent bank-goers, and even
a safe for the money.

Piggy Bank Wild

The pink piggy bank will substitute for any symbol – except
the free spin medallion – to create a winning payout.

Free Spin Medallion

Landing 3 or more of the pink free spin medallion
symbols anywhere on screen triggers the free spins bonus round. 3 symbols will
give you 5 free spins, 4 will give you 10, and 5 gives you 15.

Free spins play automatically, and all wins double in this round.

Wanted Pig Sign

The wanted pig “fried or grilled” sign gets you the highest
payout. Landing this gets you 750 coins for 5 symbols, 200 for 4, 45 for 3, and
6 for 2.

Safe

The gray bank safe fills your wallet with 500 coins for 5 symbols, 150
for 4, 40 for 3, and 5 for 2.

Bank-robber Pig

You’ll find the bank-robber pig dressed in orange and black
stripes with a black face mask. Along with him, you get 300 coins for 5 symbols,
75 for 4, 32 for 3, and 5 for 2.

Police Pig

The police pig, wielding his night stick and dressed in his blue
uniform, gives you 100 credits for 5 symbols, 40 for 4, 22 for 3, and 4 for 2.

Bank Teller Pig

This fellow in his gray suit and matching hat wins you 80
credits for 5 symbols, 40 for 4, and 20 for 3.

45 coins for 5 symbols, 18 for 4, and 10 for 3.

School-boy Pig

This little fellow in his bright orange outfit wins you 20
coins for 5 symbols, 12 for 4, and 9 for 3.

Symbol Graphics

1×2 Gaming nailed it with these pig symbols. The game has all the standard
characters of a bank robbery, from the criminals to the innocent bystanders, and
each pigs detail is enough to determine his or her role.

Piggy Bank Slot Bonus Features

The Piggy Bank slot has one bonus feature, and that’s the free spins bonus.
The bonus round activates by getting three or more pink free spins medallions on
screen at once.

You know when you hit the free spin bonus when the reels dim and “Makin’
Bacon” appears across the screen, followed by “Free Spins.”

The amount of spins you earned play out automatically and the purple marquee
at the bottom of the reels tell you how many spins you have remaining in the
round.

Aside from its’ frequency, which we discuss below, the free spins bonus
wasn’t impressive. It looks and sounds identical to the base game, and if you’re
not paying full attention during auto bet, you may not even realize you hit the
bonus round.

Betting Options

The game will default to playing all 9 pay lines, with 1 coin per line, and a
dime coin size.

You can bet a minimum of $0.01 and a maximum of $0.50, with up to 5 coins on
each line. Since there are only 9 pay lines, the max wager is only worth $22.50.

The game has an auto bet option, which means you won’t need to keep clicking
“spin” to play a round. Auto bet allows you to automate your betting to 5, 10,
25, 50, 100, or any custom betting amount up to 250.

You can cancel the auto bet function at any time by clicking the “cancel”
button at the bottom of the screen.

Other Options

You have the ability to adjust a few settings within the game:

Screen size

found at the top right corner – you can switch into
full-screen mode. Press ‘ESC’ to exit full-screen mode.

Volume adjustment

found at the bottom left corner under betting
options

Clarity adjustment

found at the bottom left corner under betting
options – you can switch between high, medium, and low clarity.

Win Frequency

During normal game play, the win frequency of this slot is lower than most.

We liked how often we were able to activate the bonus round, though. In a
string of 250 spins, we triggered 17 bonus rounds. This made up for the game’s
low win frequency.

Return to Player RTP

RTP for Piggy Bank is 95.69%, which is noticeable during game play.

Game Rules

The game rules for Piggy Bank are like other 1×2 Gaming’s other slots. If
you’re familiar with their other games, you will have no problem understanding
the rules.

Here are a few more items to keep in mind:

  • Most wins are matched from left to right. The only exception is the pink
    free spins medallion, which can appear anywhere on the reels.
  • When two or more wins show up in the same line, only the highest value
    win on this line is paid.
  • You can select how many pay lines you want to play by clicking the
    numbers to the right and left of the reels.

Conclusion

We like the smart pun theme of Piggy Bank and its set of characters from the
scene of a bank robbery.

But, while we enjoyed the theme, we were a bit confused when we first started
playing.

The background scene and noises have nothing to do with a bank robbery, and
while playing, it was hard to determine if the theme was barnyard or bank
robbery.

We also wish the bonus round was something different from the base game – no
matter how often it appeared.

While this slot is cute, there are too many aspects working against it. Our
advice – try your luck at a different game.
