Piggy Bank Slot

Among the more adorable slots on the market, Piggy Bank is a five-reel, three-line slot with 25 paylines, designed brilliantly in a cartoonish style. The goal is the bank robbery, with a twist: the target is not just any bank, but a collection of piggy banks. The base play contains many fun twists, wilds, and bonuses. In the two-stage scatter round, players get to fulfill their childhood dreams by smashing into several full piggy banks, then continue by taking with the contents of the bank’s vault.

Theme

Piggy Bank takes a childlike approach to bank robbery, and all elements of the game are designed to fit into this theme. Gaming symbols include the hero bank robber, the policeman who tries to stop him, a vintage police van, stacks of cash, gold coins, a hammer (presumably to be used for piggy bank-smashing purposes), a steel safe, and a large key to open it. The reels are set in what looks to be the wall of a bank, where the vault might be, with piles of gold coins among the controls below.

Betting Options, Functions and Features

The 25 paylines in this slot are adjustable, and the bet can range from one to 100 credits per line. For every win, players have the possibility of risking double-or-nothing in a card game: correctly choose a card with a higher value than what is shown, and winnings are doubled – but choose poorly, and the win drops to zero. From time to time, a stacked wild appears on the reels in the form of a “Wanted” sign, bearing our hero’s face – this turns the entire reel wild, usually triggering several paylines.

When three or more scatter symbols appear on the reels, the two-part bonus is triggered. In the first phase, the robber-hero smashes a piggy bank of the player’s choice, revealing cash prizes. Some choices re-direct the game back to base play, while others can reveal a key, which leads to the second part of the game: choose which of the possible safes to unlock. Each holds different cash prizes, but some are higher than others. While the base play has plenty of prizes, it’s in this bonus round that the largest wins are possible.

Our Take

It’s the rare slot that manages both a risqué theme – bank robbery – and also whimsical design. Piggy Bank achieves this. With a solid base play, enjoyable gameplay, and a delightful mini-game, this slot makes its case as one of Belatra’s best yet.
