Play the Piggy Riches Megaways demo free
The Piggy Riches Megaways demo runs the real game on play credits: the same 117,649 ways, the same cascades, the same wheel-driven free spins. Demo credits have no cash value, cannot be withdrawn, and reset when you reload the page.
The demo is a useful check on one specific thing here — the RTP. At 95.71% this game returns less than most of the Megaways titles reviewed on this site, and a long demo session is the cheapest way to feel what that means before any money is involved.

Piggy Riches Megaways slot at a glance
More on the figures above. Our catalogue carries the game under both names, which is why you may see it filed either way elsewhere. The RTP, volatility, max win, ways count, stake range and the 23 January 2020 release date come from the game’s own information screen as published by third-party databases; the Megaways engine itself is licensed from Big Time Gaming. Some databases print it as 104,740×, which is a unit error — their own cash figure divides back to 10,474×.
How the game plays
Six Megaways reels producing 117,649 ways — the standard maximum for a six-reel Megaways grid, without the extra horizontal reel Pragmatic adds to reach 200,704.
Wins cascade: winning symbols are removed, replacements drop in, and consecutive wins can chain from a single spin. The theme carries over wholesale from NetEnt’s 2016 original — Mr and Mrs Piggy, the jewellery, the cash — on a grid that game never had.
The Mister symbol is an expanding wild that covers its whole reel. Landing three mega wilds expands them across their reels and boosts wins by up to 7×.
The story behind the game
Piggy Riches Megaways was released on 23 January 2020. The authorship is worth being precise about, because it is routinely reported wrongly: Red Tiger Gaming built it, the Piggy Riches name and characters belong to NetEnt’s 2016 original, and the Megaways engine is licensed from Big Time Gaming. Three studios, one game. NetEnt and Red Tiger now sit inside the same group, which is how the arrangement came about.
A sequel, Piggy Riches 2 Megaways, has since appeared with a hold-and-respin mechanic and a 20,000× ceiling. It shares this game’s 95.71% RTP and almost nothing else, and the two are easy to confuse when searching.
Symbols and paytable
The free-spin rules are the whole game here, and one number in them does most of the work.
| Grid | 6 reels, 117,649 ways |
|---|---|
| Mister (expanding wild) | expands to cover its reel |
| Three mega wilds | expand across their reels and boost wins by up to 7× |
| Cascading reels | winning symbols are replaced; consecutive wins can chain |
| Free spins trigger | 3 Mrs Piggy scatters |
| On trigger | a wheel spin awards up to 22 free spins |
| Starting multiplier | 10×, applied from the first free spin |
| Multiplier progression | +1× for every winning combination, no published cap |
| Bonus buy | not available |
| Progressive jackpot | none |
The line that matters is the 10× starting multiplier. Most Megaways free-spin rounds open at 1× and make you build; this one hands you a ten-fold multiplier on the first spin and then climbs from there. It is the single most generous opening in any Megaways game reviewed on this site.
Bonus features and free spins
Free spins start at 10×, not 1×
Three Mrs Piggy scatters spin a wheel that awards up to 22 free spins, and the round begins with the multiplier already at 10×. Great Rhino Megaways starts at 1× unless you trade spins for it; Buffalo King Megaways starts at nothing. Here the generous opening is simply the default.
And then it keeps climbing
Every winning combination adds +1× to the multiplier, with no published cap. Because the base multiplier starts at 10×, a round with a dozen wins in it is finishing somewhere above 20× on every one of them — which is how a game with a 95.71% RTP still reaches a five-figure ceiling.
The wheel sets the length, not the value
Unlike Madame Destiny Megaways, where the wheel fixes both the spin count and a multiplier for the whole round, this wheel only decides how many spins you get — up to 22. The multiplier is the same 10× start every time. That makes a bad wheel result disappointing rather than ruinous.
Expanding wilds, and a 7× boost on three
The Mister symbol is an expanding wild that covers its entire reel. Land three mega wilds and they expand across their reels together, boosting wins by up to 7×. On a 117,649-way grid, three full reels of wild is close to a guaranteed win on every remaining way.
No bonus buy, anywhere
There is no feature buy and no ante bet on this game — not a market restriction, simply a game that was not built with them. You reach the free spins by landing three scatters or not at all, which is increasingly unusual and, for players in markets where buys are banned anyway, levels the field.
- A 10× starting multiplier is the most generous free-spin opening of any Megaways game reviewed here — most start at 1× or nothing.
- The multiplier climbs +1× per win with no published cap, so a long round compounds properly rather than flattening out.
- The wheel only sets the spin count, so an unlucky wheel costs you length rather than value — a far kinder design than a wheel that fixes the multiplier too.
- No bonus buy and no ante bet, which makes the game the same proposition in every market rather than a reduced one where buys are banned.
- Three mega wilds boosting wins by up to 7× gives the base game a genuine top end, which most Megaways base games lack.
- 95.71% is below the industry average and the lowest published RTP of any game in this review batch. Over time that gap is the most important number on the page.
- No alternative RTP build is published, which sounds like good news but means there is no higher setting to hope for either — 95.71% is what the game is.
- 117,649 ways rather than 200,704, so the grid is narrower than the Pragmatic Megaways games it competes with.
- No hit frequency is published by Red Tiger or by the databases that track it.
- The sequel muddies the search. Piggy Riches 2 Megaways shares the RTP, carries a 20,000× ceiling and plays differently — figures quoted online are frequently for the wrong game.
How Piggy Riches Megaways compares
Against the Megaways games we have reviewed that sit nearest it on ceiling and on grid.
| Game | Studio | RTP | Max win | Ways | Free spins open at |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Piggy Riches Megaways | Red Tiger | 95.71% | 10,474× | 117,649 | 10× |
| Great Rhino Megaways | Pragmatic Play | 96.58% | 20,000× | 200,704 | 1×, 5× or 10× (your choice) |
| Gold Megaways | Big Time Gaming | 96.42% | 20,200× | 117,649, to 1,000,000 | a wheel sets the ways |
| Wild Turkey Megaways | NetEnt | 96.05% | 7,239× | Up to 117,649 | not published |
The RTP column is the uncomfortable one. This is the lowest-returning game in the table by a third of a point over the next-lowest and nearly nine tenths over the highest — and the 10× opening multiplier, generous as it is, is the compensation for that rather than a free gift.
Piggy Riches Megaways RTP, volatility and max win
95.71%, published as a single figure with no alternative builds listed. That cuts both ways: there is no risk of landing on a 94% version at a margin-hungry casino, but there is also no higher setting anywhere. 95.71% is the game.
It is below the broad video-slot average of around 96%, and it is the lowest figure in this batch of reviews. Over a long session that difference is real money, and it is worth weighing against the 10× opening multiplier that makes individual bonus rounds feel so much more generous than the ones on higher-RTP competitors.
That is, in fact, exactly the trade the game is making. A free-spin round that starts at 10× and climbs has to be paid for somewhere, and it is paid for in the base game and in the headline percentage.
Bets, bankroll and session planning
Stakes run from 0.20 to 10 per spin — by a wide margin the lowest maximum of any game in this batch, where the Pragmatic titles reach 125 and Wonders of Aztec reaches 240.
There is no bonus buy and no ante bet. That is a property of the game rather than a market restriction, so unlike most of this catalogue the proposition is identical wherever you play it. The only route into the free spins is three Mrs Piggy scatters.
Playing on mobile
A six-reel Megaways grid without an extra horizontal reel is the simplest shape in this family to render on a phone, and this one fills a portrait screen cleanly.
The multiplier counter is the element worth watching, and it is well placed — large, central, and climbing visibly with each win. Since the multiplier is the whole appeal of the free spins, a game that makes it legible at phone size is doing the right thing.
Five things to know before you spin
- Do not confuse it with the sequel. Piggy Riches 2 Megaways shares the 95.71% RTP but carries a 20,000× ceiling and a hold-and-respin mechanic. Most figures quoted online conflate the two.
- Value the round by its length, not its wheel. The multiplier always starts at 10×, so the only thing the wheel decides is how many spins you get to build on it.
- Three mega wilds is the base-game moment to watch for — they expand across their reels together and boost wins by up to 7×.
- Accept the RTP or play something else. There is no higher build to find at another casino. 95.71% is the only setting published.
- There is no bonus buy, so do not look for one. Three scatters is the only way in, which also means no market offers a shortcut others lack.
Where to play Piggy Riches Megaways for real money
On casinos carrying Red Tiger, which is most of the market. Unusually for this catalogue there is only one published RTP, so the figure should not vary between sites — but the in-game information screen is still worth opening to confirm it.

Who this slot is for
For players who care more about how a bonus round feels than about the headline percentage. A free-spin round that opens at 10× and climbs with every win is genuinely exciting in a way that a 1× start never is, and the absence of any bonus buy means everyone reaches it the same way.
It is the wrong game if you are optimising. 95.71% is below average and there is no better build to hunt for; Great Rhino Megaways returns nearly nine tenths of a point more, on a wider grid, with double the ceiling. This one is bought with the bonus round in mind, not the maths.

Our verdict on Piggy Riches Megaways
The best bonus opening in Megaways, paid for in the headline number
Almost every Megaways free-spin round makes you build a multiplier from nothing. Piggy Riches Megaways hands you 10× on the first spin and then climbs by one for every win after that, with no published cap. Nothing else in our Megaways coverage opens anywhere near that generously, and it is the reason the game has stayed popular six years after release.
It is also the reason the RTP is 95.71%. A bonus that starts ten-fold has to be funded, and it is funded out of the headline percentage and a base game that is quieter than its competitors. Unlike most of this catalogue there is no alternative build to hunt for — which removes the risk of landing on a worse version, and removes any hope of a better one.
So the choice is honest and it is yours. If you play for the bonus rounds and want them to feel significant when they land, this is a genuinely distinctive game. If you are weighing return over time, Great Rhino Megaways gives you nearly nine tenths of a point more on a wider grid with double the ceiling, and the comparison is not close.
