UK-based game provider Inspired Entertainment has launched Big Piggy Bank in UK betting shops after it proved a hit online.
The game is a 3×5 reel slot with 10 paylines. The slot has many features and bonus options, but its main draw is the Cash Bank Bonus.
If a player lands four or more cash symbols alongside landing a bonus symbol, they unlock an exciting bonus round.
Players get 8 free spins, and whenever a collect symbol appears, it gathers all the cash symbols shown on the screen. You can also win extra spins during the round, giving you more chances to win big.
Some cash symbols can pay up to 1,000 times your bet, and special Pot symbols can trigger one of three jackpots:
- The Mini Pot (10× your bet).
- Minor Pot (25×).
- Or the Major Pot (50×).
What Other Features Does The Game Have?
Also available in this version of the game is a Fortune Spins option that can be toggled with a button.
It costs £2 per spin and only includes Cash, Blank, Collector, and Bonus symbols, which makes it easier to trigger the bonus round. When the bonus starts, landing a Collector symbol gathers all the cash prizes shown on the screen.
Interestingly, there is yet another option, called the gamble option. Players choose from two gambling wheels that can have different effects on the game. The left-sided wheel boosts winnings by various amounts, from 1.5x up to 10x.
Meanwhile, the right-sided one triggers the bonus round. If the pointer stops on the green section, players win the cash prize or bonus. But if it lands on red, they lose their winnings, and the game goes back to the main round.
Matthew Crane, UK Market Product Director for Inspired Entertainment, commented on the introduction of Big Piggy Bank to the UK retail space.
He said the decision was primarily made to reflect Inspired Entertainment’s commitment to “omni-channel content delivery and making player-favourite games available across all channels”.
This is yet another example of a popular animal slot that has been adapted for the UK retail audience. Wild Adventure Leopard Edition by Blueprint Gaming is listed as a B3 game, the same game type that Big Piggy Bank has been adapted for.
In the UK, B3 games are titles found in land-based places like casinos and betting shops, where the maximum stake is £2 and the maximum prize is £500.
Many online casinos are already expanding their games into the UK market. Recently, various popular titles from Play’n Go landed in selected Genting Casino locations in the UK.
We do not doubt that in the future, we will see more popular slots landing in UK land-based casinos and betting shops.
