The Piggy Riches demo is NetEnt in 2010, which is to say a clean fifteen-line slot with one good idea and no clutter. The good idea is the free-spins choice: you pick between twenty-two spins at a 2× multiplier, fifteen at 3×, or nine at 5×. That is a genuine decision with a real trade-off, and it was uncommon when this game launched. The published numbers are decent too — 96.38% RTP against the 96% reference — though as with every NetEnt back-catalogue title, none of them come from NetEnt any more.

Play the Piggy Riches demo free
The demo above runs the full game on play credits, including the free-spins choice. No account, no deposit, nothing real can be won or lost. Since the whole interest of this game is which of the three options you prefer, free play is a genuinely useful way to try all three. This demo is part of our free NetEnt slots.
Piggy Riches slot at a glance
More on the figures above. NetEnt was absorbed into Evolution and keeps no public specification page for this game, so nothing here is studio-sourced. The 96.38% RTP and its unusual base-game and free-spins split (77.43% and 18.95%), the medium volatility rating, the 2,746× ceiling, the 15 fixed paylines, the 5 September 2010 release and the feature descriptions all come from OLBG’s listing. That source contradicts itself on one point — it mentions a 6× multiplier in two places while its own free-spins options top out at 5×, and its FAQ also says 5× — so this review uses the 5× that the detailed options and the FAQ agree on. Piggy Riches Megaways is a Red Tiger game, not NetEnt, and its figures are not mixed in here.
How the game plays
Five reels, three rows, fifteen fixed paylines. Wins pay left to right in the ordinary way and there is nothing to configure — the lines are fixed, so the only choice is the stake.
The Gentleman Pig is the wild. It substitutes for everything except the scatter, and any winning combination it joins is paid at 3×. The Lady Pig is the scatter, and unusually she pays in her own right: two, three, four or five of her pay 2, 4, 15 and 100 times the bet respectively.
Three or more Lady Pigs trigger the free spins, and this is where the game earns its keep. Rather than handing you a fixed round, it offers three: twenty-two spins at a 2× multiplier, fifteen spins at 3×, or nine spins at 5×. Each additional Lady Pig landing during the feature adds one more spin, up to a maximum of twenty-eight. The three options are not equivalent in feel — the long one grinds, the short one swings — and choosing between them is the only real decision the game asks for.
The story behind the game
Piggy Riches came out in September 2010, which makes it one of the oldest games reviewed on this site. It belongs to the period when NetEnt was quietly defining what an online slot looked like: fixed lines, a wild with a flat multiplier, a scatter that paid, and a free-spins round with a twist. The choice mechanic in particular turns up everywhere now — dozens of modern games offer a spins-versus-multiplier trade — and this is one of the titles that popularised it. The game has outlived its own documentation: NetEnt’s public specification pages disappeared with the Evolution acquisition, so a game still in wide circulation now has no official spec sheet anywhere.
Symbols and paytable
The specification as the best available independent source gives it. Nothing here is studio-published, because NetEnt publishes nothing for this game any more.

The RTP split is the row most games never publish and the one most worth having. Of the 96.38% total, 77.43% is returned through the base game and 18.95% through the free spins. That tells you something concrete about how the game feels: roughly a fifth of everything it gives back arrives in a feature you reach occasionally, which is a far gentler distribution than modern games that load half their return into a bought bonus.
Bonus features and free spins
Three free-spins rounds, you pick one
Twenty-two spins at 2×, fifteen at 3×, or nine at 5×. The expected value of the three is close by design; what differs is the shape. Twenty-two spins at double is a grind with a decent floor; nine at five times is a short, sharp gamble.
The wild trebles everything
The Gentleman Pig substitutes for all symbols except the scatter and pays 3× on any combination it joins. Combined with a 5× free-spins multiplier, a single wild line can pay fifteen times its base value.
The scatter pays on its own
The Lady Pig pays 2, 4, 15 and 100 times the bet for two, three, four and five of her. A scatter that pays 100× by itself is generous even now, and it means a trigger is worth something before the feature even starts.
The feature extends to 28
Each additional Lady Pig landing during the round adds one more spin, up to twenty-eight. On the twenty-two-spin option that is a real possibility; on the nine-spin option it meaningfully changes the round.
- 96.38% clears the 96% reference by nearly four tenths of a point, which is better than several games released this decade and reviewed on this site.
- The free-spins choice is a real decision with a real trade-off, and it is still better implemented here than in many games that copied it.
- The RTP split is published by the source — 77.43% base, 18.95% feature — which is a level of detail almost no modern game offers.
- A scatter that pays 100× for five means triggers are worth something in themselves rather than just opening a door.
- Medium volatility makes this one of the gentler games reviewed here, and the base-game-weighted return backs that up.
- Fifteen fixed lines on a 5×3 grid is as readable as slots get, and the demo above shows the whole game in a few minutes.
- NetEnt publishes nothing about this game. Every figure on this page is third-party because the studio’s public pages did not survive the Evolution acquisition.
- The source contradicts itself on the top multiplier, mentioning 6× in two places while its own options and FAQ say 5×. This review uses 5×, but the disagreement is worth knowing about.
- 2,746× is modest. Precise and probably accurate, but small beside modern games, and it reflects a design from 2010.
- No bonus features beyond the free spins. No modifiers, no collection mechanic, no second feature — the game is the base plus one round.
- It looks its age. Fifteen years on, the presentation is plainly from another era, however well the maths holds up.
- Beware the name. Piggy Riches Megaways is a Red Tiger game with different figures entirely, and listings routinely blur the two.
How Piggy Riches compares
Against the other NetEnt games reviewed on this site. Every figure is the one recorded in that game’s own review here.
| Game | RTP | Ceiling | Volatility | The idea |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Piggy Riches | 96.38% | 2,746× | Medium | Choose your free spins |
| Twin Spin | 96.55% | 1,080× | — | Linked twin reels |
| Jack and the Beanstalk | 96.28% | 3,000× | High | Walking wilds |
| Spinata Grande | 96.84% | Disputed | — | Pinata bonus |
| Wild Turkey Megaways | 96.05% | 7,239× | — | Megaways |
The NetEnt classics sit in a tight band — every one of them between 96.05% and 96.84% — with small ceilings and clean single ideas. That consistency is the point of this table. These games were built to a house standard that put return above spectacle, which is why a 2010 release still clears the reference that plenty of 2026 games miss. Piggy Riches is the gentlest of them on volatility and has the most player agency.
Piggy Riches RTP, volatility and max win
96.38% is the figure independent listings give, with an unusually detailed split: 77.43% returned through the base game and 18.95% through the free spins. It clears the 96% reference comfortably. None of it is NetEnt’s own publication, because the studio no longer maintains a page for this game — the specification survives only in third-party listings and in the information screen inside the game itself. On a title this old and this widely licensed, that in-game screen is worth opening before you play, since it is the only statement that definitely describes the build your casino is running.
Bets, bankroll and session planning
No authoritative stake range is published for this game, so none is given here. The fifteen paylines are fixed, so the only thing to set is the amount per spin. The wild’s 3× and the free-spins multipliers are all applied to the line win rather than to a fixed cash figure, so the game behaves identically at any stake.
Playing on mobile
A 5×3 grid with fifteen fixed lines is straightforward on a phone, and the demo above runs in a mobile browser with no app or download. The only screen that needs attention on a small display is the free-spins choice, which appears once per feature and is the single decision the game asks of you — worth reading rather than tapping past.
Five things to know before you spin
- Think about the free-spins choice before you trigger it. Twenty-two spins at 2× has the steadiest floor; nine at 5× is the volatile one. The decision arrives quickly and it is easier made in advance.
- Remember extra scatters extend the round to a maximum of twenty-eight spins. That possibility favours the longer options more than it looks like it should.
- Note what the scatter pays by itself — 100× for five Lady Pigs, before the feature even begins.
- Check the RTP in the information screen. NetEnt publishes nothing public for this game, so the in-game panel is the only authority for your casino.
- Do not confuse it with Piggy Riches Megaways, which is a Red Tiger game with completely different figures.
- Try all three free-spins options in the demo. They feel very different and it costs nothing to find out which suits you. 18+, and set a limit before you leave free play.

Who this slot is for
For players who want a calm, readable slot with one meaningful decision in it — medium volatility, a base-game-weighted return and a free-spins choice that genuinely changes the session. It suits smaller stakes and longer sessions better than big swings. It is not for anyone chasing a large ceiling, since 2,746× is modest by current standards, and not for anyone who wants studio-published specifications, because NetEnt no longer provides any.

Our verdict on Piggy Riches
Fifteen years old and still better documented than some 2026 releases
Piggy Riches is a reminder of what a slot looked like before bought bonuses and multiplier ladders. Fifteen fixed lines, a wild that trebles, a scatter that pays properly on its own, and one decision to make when the feature arrives. The free-spins choice has been copied so widely since that it is easy to forget how good it is — three rounds of roughly equal value and completely different character, with the player picking which risk they want.
The numbers hold up too. 96.38% clears the reference, the volatility is genuinely medium rather than “medium” in the marketing sense, and the return is weighted towards the base game at 77.43% — a detail almost no modern game discloses. What is missing is NetEnt itself: the studio’s public pages went with the Evolution acquisition, so a game still licensed in hundreds of casinos has no official spec sheet, and the best available source contradicts itself on the top multiplier. The game deserves better record-keeping than it now has. Play the demo, try all three free-spins options, and open the information screen before you ever play it for money.
