About Lucky Piggy
Lucky Piggy runs on a six-reel grid of uneven heights: three rows on reels 1 and 2, four rows on reels 3, 4, 5 and 6. Multiply it out — 3 × 3 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 — and you get exactly 2,304 ways to win. These are not paylines: any run of matching symbols starting from the leftmost reel pays, wherever it sits vertically.
Every paid combination explodes and the symbols above drop down to fill the gaps. If the drop forms a new win, the sequence continues. That is where the multiplier comes in. PG Soft states it starts at x1 at the beginning of every base game spin and rises by 1 after each cascade that produces a win. No ceiling is published. In the base game it falls back to x1 on the next spin, which mechanically caps what any single sequence can be worth.
The Wild substitutes for everything except the Scatter Wild; the Scatter Wild substitutes for absolutely everything. Both appear only on reels 3, 4, 5 and 6. A Scatter Wild that lands during a spin stays on the reels until that spin ends, so it survives the cascades that follow.
Four Scatter Wilds on reels 3 to 6 trigger 8 free spins, and every extra Scatter Wild present at the trigger adds 2 more. All triggering Scatter Wilds stay stuck to the grid for the whole feature. The multiplier restarts at x1 but, this time, it no longer resets between spins: it climbs by 1 on each winning cascade and holds its value until the feature ends. Any Scatter Wild that shows up along the way awards 1 more free spin and sticks in turn. This is the only part of the game where potential genuinely accumulates.
The official RTP is 96.79%: for every £100 staked the house keeps £3.21 over a very large number of spins. PG Soft breaks the figure down, and this is the most telling number on the sheet: 63.66 points come from the base game, 33.13 points from the free spins alone. The overall hit rate is 27.82%, of which 0.63% is the feature trigger — roughly one spin in 159. In other words, a third of the advertised return depends on an event that, at €0.20 a spin, costs around thirty euros in stakes to summon on average.
Default bets run from €0.20 to €100, across three bet sizes (0.01, 0.1 and 0.5) and ten levels. PG Soft advertises a maximum win of 20,000x, but also publishes its maximum exposure simulated over a billion spins: 3,687x. Both figures are official and they do not say the same thing. At €0.20, 3,687x is €737.40 and 20,000x is €4,000; at the €100 maximum, €368,700 and €2,000,000 respectively. The published frequencies fill in the picture: a Big Win (x20 to x35) every 371 spins, a Mega Win (x35 to x50) every 1,521 spins, a Super Mega Win (x50 and above) every 2,247 spins. A feature buy exists, but its price appears only inside the game menu; secondary databases contradict each other on the figure and we will not pick a side. Set against the rest of PG Soft's catalogue, Lucky Piggy is a deliberately modest title: Lucky Neko, Ganesha Fortune and Thai River Wonders advertise 100,000x across 32,400 ways, against 20,000x and 2,304 ways here.
