Piggy Power Fortune

Piggy Power Fortune is a fruit-and-coins video slot from Apollo Games. It plays on 5 reels and 3 rows with 25 fixed lines, and its core is a Hold and Win feature that comes in three flavours, called Multi, Collect and Extra, with four fixed prizes from 15x up to 500x the bet. A Buy Feature is available for 70 times the bet.

Three Golden Pigs On Top Of The Reels

The background is a bright purple burst with floating coins, and the reels sit in a thick golden frame. Above the frame stand three piggy banks, each with a small label: Multi, Collect and Extra. They are the indicators of the bonus modes, and each one fills with its own colour (green, red or blue) when that mode becomes active. Four prize plaques on the left show the fixed values of the Mini, Minor, Major and Grand prizes. The symbols come from a classic fruit machine: cherries, lemons, oranges, plums, grapes, watermelons, bells, bars, diamonds and red sevens, with a jester-faced Wild.

Lines And Paytable

Wins are paid on 25 lines and always start from the first reel on the left. The game pays from two or more identical symbols for the best symbol and from three for the others, and only the highest win on a line counts. In multiples of the total bet, the best symbol pays 6x for five of a kind, 2x for four, 0.5x for three and 0.1x for two. The next three symbols pay 2x, 0.8x and 0.3x for five, four and three, then come two symbols at 1.5x, 0.4x and 0.2x, and the four lowest symbols at 1x, 0.2x and 0.1x.

The Wild is a jester that replaces every symbol except the coin symbols. It appears on reels 2 to 5.

Coin Symbols

The special symbols are coins. A Coin Cash symbol carries a value between 1x and 10x the bet. A Coin Jackpot symbol carries one of three named prizes: Mini (15x), Minor (30x) or Major (100x). A Coin Collect symbol only exists inside the bonus. Landing a Cash or a Jackpot coin anywhere in the base game can randomly start the Hold and Win feature.

Hold and Win And Its Three Modes

When the feature starts, only the coins stay on the screen, and every new coin locks in its place and resets the respin counter. The feature ends when the respins run out or when all 15 positions are filled, which pays the Grand prize of 500x the bet. The three pigs decide how the round behaves, and they can appear alone or in combination:

• Multi: starts with 3 respins, and the values of the Cash coins can be randomly multiplied.
• Collect: starts with 3 respins, and a Collect coin can land, take the values of all the coins already locked on the screen (including earlier Collect values) and then lock in its place itself.
• Extra: starts with 4 respins, and each new coin resets the counter to 4 instead of 3, which gives more time to fill the grid.

The total win of the round is the sum of all the coin values, including the Mini, Minor, Major or Grand prizes.

Fixed Prizes At A Glance

The four plaques beside the reels always show the prize for the current bet. Mini is worth 15x, Minor 30x, Major 100x and Grand 500x the total bet, so raising the stake raises every plaque at the same time. Because each coin in a round can be a Cash value or one of these named prizes, a full screen of coins is very different from a round that ends with only a few of them locked.

Buy Feature

The basket button on the left of the screen opens a menu where the Hold and Win feature can be bought for 70 times the current bet. The purchase has to be confirmed in a window that shows the price, and it guarantees that coin symbols land and start the round. Winnings are calculated in the usual way from the bet set in the base game.

Controls And Settings

The bottom bar shows the credit, the win and the bet, and the menu button opens the help pages, the settings and the spin history. The game also has an autoplay button and a sound toggle. When you load it, an introduction screen explains the three pigs before the first spin.

Who Is It For?

Piggy Power Fortune suits players who enjoy fruit symbols together with a modern Hold and Win round. The base game is quiet and simple, and the interest comes from the random start of the bonus, the three different modes and the fixed prizes that make it easy to see what each coin is worth. The Buy Feature gives a quick route to the bonus for those who prefer it.
