Piggy Riches Megaways Demo & review

Piggy Riches Megaways rebuilds NetEnt's Piggy Riches on a six-reel Megaways board, with reel-sized wilds that multiply and free spins that open with a wheel. Red Tiger released it in January 2020, and a sequel, Piggy Riches 2 Megaways, followed in June 2024. It is for bonus chasers who like a round whose multiplier only climbs, and who accept that the wheel decides how good the start is.

The intro screen shows the wheel that opens every free spins round. FluxPlays demo test, 2 November 2026.

How Piggy Riches Megaways works

Symbols pay when they match on neighbouring reels, starting with the leftmost, and each of the six reels shows a number of symbols that changes on every spin, up to seven, for up to 117,649 ways. After every win the paying symbols clear and new ones fall in, a chain reaction that continues while new wins form.

The ways counter is the reel heights multiplied together. Before our first spin the reels held 5, 4, 3, 6, 3 and 5 symbols, and the counter read 5,400.

The money bag tops a short paytable, and the pig symbols sit near the bottom of the premiums:

The money bag is the only symbol that pays for two of a kind as well.

How the features connect:

1. Every win starts a chain reaction, so one spin can pay several times.
2. Mega Wilds cover whole reels and multiply the ways they complete.
3. Three scatters start the free spins, where a wheel sets the spin count and the starting multiplier.
4. In the free spins every win adds to that multiplier, and it never resets.

The free-spins round is the heart of the game. Mega Wilds are the base game's only real lift.

The symbol pays at a 1.00 bet. FluxPlays demo test, 2 November 2026.

Mega Wilds: what the reel multipliers do

A Mega Wild covers an entire reel and carries a ways multiplier of up to x7. Up to three can land on one spin. When more than one is part of the same win, their multipliers multiply rather than add, so two x3 Mega Wilds turn that win into x9. With three on the board, one win can draw on all three multipliers at once, and that stacking is the base game's best route to a large win.

Free spins: how they trigger and what the wheel decides

Three scatters anywhere on the reels start the free spins. First a wheel spins, and it sets both the number of free spins, from 7 to 22, and the multiplier the round starts on, from x1 to x10. Every win during the round then adds 1 to that multiplier, and it holds until the round ends. Each scatter that lands in the round adds one more spin.

By the rules, a round that starts at x10 pays its first win at x10 and its fifth at x14. The wheel therefore matters as much as the reels: a low start needs many wins before the multiplier means much. No buy exists, so three scatters are the only way in.

RTP, volatility and max win

Red Tiger's game page lists an RTP of 95.71% and a hit frequency of 37.63%. The demo's help states no RTP, and casinos can choose which version they run, so check the figure where you play. Red Tiger shows volatility only as an unlabelled gauge, and review sites agree on High.

The game page gives the maximum payout as 10,474x the bet, a little above the round figure in Red Tiger's own description of the game, and the table carries the stated payout. A long free-spins round from a high wheel start is the route toward it, since that multiplier keeps growing.

Our Piggy Riches Megaways demo test

Mega Wilds were the story of the session, though not in the way you might hope. They landed 11 times and nine of those spins paid nothing. On spin 19 one sat on the reels when the spin paid $36.00, the best result we logged. Chain reactions kept small wins coming, 39 paying spins in all, and no dry run lasted longer than six spins. The scatters never lined up three at once, so the free spins and the wheel are covered from the rules alone. A session this size says little about the game's return.

Is Piggy Riches Megaways worth playing?

Only if you are willing to wait for the free spins. Everything that separates this game from a plain Megaways sits in that round: the wheel can start the multiplier at x10, and each win adds to it. The base game has Mega Wilds and chain reactions to keep things moving, but it pays mostly small amounts between them.

Pick Power of Thor Megaways if you want a free-spins multiplier that also never resets, at Medium volatility and with a buy to skip the wait. Pick Piggy Riches Megaways for a wheel that can hand you a high starting multiplier and a higher stated cap.

In the demo, watch for Mega Wilds and note the multiplier each one shows. Several on one spin is the base game's best moment, and you will see how rarely they stack.
