The Great Pigsby Megaways Review

Relax Gaming invites you once again to join the porcine couple in some high society celebrations, and The Great Pigsby Megaways is basically The Great Pigsby Megapays without the progressive jackpots. This release came before Relax launched their very own progressive jackpot system, and we think it’s a good idea to have non-jackpot versions of pretty much all their games.

The base game plays out in the garden of the great mansion, and you can hear the muffled sound of festivities going on inside. The visuals are the same, and wilds still expand to possibly trigger extra wild reels or extra Pigsby symbols. Even the bonus round triggers randomly this way, and it’s all about low to high value symbol replacement. The 20,000x potential remains the same, but the RTP is now 96.08 % without 9.44 % going to feed any jackpots.

The Great Pigsby Megaways Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 0.5 and 3 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and Wilds can land on reels 2 to 6. Wilds step in for all pay symbols to help complete wins, and they always expand to cover the entire reel when they appear. The number on the wild indicates the number of active wilds the reel contains, which depends on the dynamic grid Megaways engine.

In addition to expanding, a bunch of coins are tossed into the piggy bank at the top of the grid each time a wild appears.

The Great Pigsy Re-spin feature gives you 3 to 9 instances of the top-tier pay symbol, and these are randomly placed across the grid. The Wild Re-spin feature however, awards 2 to 5 wild symbols that turn the affected reels fully wild.

When the Bonus Round triggers you get 10 free spins, and you get +2 extra spins for each scatter that lands during the feature. Each scatter that lands also removes one royal symbol type from the reels, and this symbol is replaced by a premium symbol from that point forward. The royal symbols are removed from lowest to highest, and scatters still award +2 extra spins once all royals have been replaced.

The 200 Spins The Great Pigsby Megaways Slot Experience

It took us a while, but the piggy bank finally bursts at 2:50 into the 5:20-minute highlights video, so you get a pretty solid taste of the base game before that. The bonus round takes you inside the glamorous mansion, and you can see for yourself how much we got away with by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

Some players might be disappointed that nothing much has changed except the removal of the progressive jackpots, but let’s not forget that you pay a pretty steep price for the jackpot chase.

Speaking of, the RTP is 96.08 % in this Megaways version, compared to 86.75 % (excluding the jackpots) in the Megapays version. Fans of The Great Gatsby-inspired release can now enjoy the porcine action without paying through their nose, which is a relief. The expanding wilds keeps the base game interesting, as well as the 2 random features, but we wouldn’t have minded some kind of multiplier in the bonus round in this version, to be honest.

Pros

• Expanding wilds on reels 2 to 5
• 2 randomly triggered features
• FS w/ low-value symbol replacement
• Win up to 20,000x your stake
• RTP of 96.08 %

Cons

• Same as Megapays, minus the jackpots
