Piggy Power: Hit the Bonus

Piggy Power: Hit the Bonus Overview

Piggy Power: Hit the Bonus is a 3x3 hold-and-win slot from Playson with a single betway, an RTP of 95.7%, a medium-high volatility rating and a published maximum win of 1,000x the stake. It was released on 29 August 2024, and bets run from 0.20 to 100 per spin.

It belongs to Playson’s Hit the Bonus series, and the name is an honest description of how it plays. The base game is little more than a waiting room: nothing pays on the reels by itself, and every coin you see is only worth something once three of them line up on the middle row and open the bonus round.

All the figures below were read from demo play at a 100.00 bet, where each jackpot plate shows its value in cash.

A Golden Pig on a Pink Stage

The presentation is bright and uncomplicated. A small 3x3 frame sits on a hot-pink background, a grinning golden piggy bank perches on the logo above it, and four jackpot plates frame the top of the screen. The empty cells carry a faint pig silhouette, so the grid looks like a row of piggy banks waiting to be filled.

Coins land as heavy gold discs with their cash value printed across the middle. Two other symbols break up the pattern: a silver vault door, and small multiplier badges that appear on top of coins during the bonus.

The Four Jackpot Plates

At the 100.00 bet the plates read MINI 1,000.00, MINOR 2,000.00, MAJOR 5,000.00 and GRAND 100,000.00. That makes them 10x, 20x, 50x and 1,000x the stake, a fixed ladder that scales with the bet rather than a progressive pool.

The Grand plate is the one to watch, because it is the whole ceiling. The published maximum win of 1,000x is exactly the Grand, which means the top prize here is not a lucky combination of coins but a single fixed award for completely filling the grid.

The plate also counts down. Before our bonus it read 6 + GRAND, with six empty cells on the board; late in a later round it read 1 + GRAND, with a single cell left open.

How the Bonus Is Triggered

The trigger is simple: three bonus coins on the middle row. One of our captures shows exactly that – three coins of 100.00 each sitting across the centre line, the rest of the grid empty, and the reel indicator ticking through its three spins.

The game’s own splash screen then lays out the three ideas that drive the feature: Multiplier cells, the Grand Jackpot of 1,000x, and a Boost that collects all payouts on the grid. Playson also describes a randomly triggered Power Bonus Game, and a sticky bonus coin that stays in place between spins until the feature starts.

Inside the Hold and Win Round

The round starts with three respins. Every coin that lands locks in place and resets the counter to three, and the feature ends when the respins run out or the grid is full. Coin values are drawn from a range of roughly 1x to 4x the bet for ordinary coins, with sticky coins at 5x to 9x.

Our captures show the values clearly. One board held seven coins – 200.00, 200.00, 100.00, 100.00, 100.00, 100.00 and 200.00 – with two cells still empty. Another held six coins worth 300.00, 300.00, 100.00, 300.00, 100.00 and 100.00 together with a MINI plate, and the win meter read 2,200.00. That is exactly the 1,200.00 of coins plus the 1,000.00 Mini, so jackpot plates are simply added on top of the coin total.

The silver vault door appears alongside the coins during the round. Playson’s rules describe mystery symbols that turn into a coin, a jackpot or a Boost when the feature ends, and the vault fits that role, although we did not capture one resolving.

Piggy Multipliers

The feature that separates this game from a plain hold-and-win round is the piggy bank itself. On any respin the pig can scatter multiplier badges across the grid, landing on empty cells or upgrading coins that are already there.

Our richest capture shows how much that changes the maths. Coins of 200.00 carry x3 badges, a 100.00 coin carries x4, a 300.00 coin carries x3, and a vault and another coin carry x2. On a small 3x3 grid, a handful of those badges can easily be worth more than the coins underneath them.

Buying the Feature

A red shopping-cart button to the left of the grid opens the buy menu, and it offers two options. At the 100.00 bet the standard Bonus Game costs 3,000.00, which is 30x the stake. The Power Bonus Game, advertised with “more multipliers”, costs 7,500.00, or 75x.

What the Session Showed

The demo moved in steps that match the design. The balance went from 10,600.00 to 12,000.00, 14,000.00 and 16,800.00 across our captures, with the win meter reading 1,400.00, 2,200.00 and 4,300.00 at different points – 14x, 22x and 43x the stake. The 7,500.00 Power buy then took the balance from 16,800.00 straight down to 9,300.00, a fair reminder that the buy price is a real cost, not a formality.

A Note on the Numbers

The slotcatalog data lists the maximum win at 1,000x, while its written review mentions 10,000x. The game itself only ever showed a 1,000x Grand, and that matches the listed figure, so we treat 1,000x as the ceiling. The RTP is quoted as 95.7% by default, and the catalogue flags that other RTP settings exist, so the version at your casino may differ.

Who Should Play It

Piggy Power: Hit the Bonus is for players who like a single, readable feature and do not mind a quiet base game. The jackpot ladder is transparent, the countdown on the Grand plate is a genuinely useful piece of information, and the piggy multipliers give the respins real variety.

The reservations are the modest 1,000x ceiling, a default RTP below 96%, and a base game that exists only to trigger the bonus. If you want wins from ordinary spins, look elsewhere.
