3 Magic Piggy Banks Hold & Win Slot Review
A piggy bank is the only savings account you have to smash to use. 3 Magic Piggy Banks Hold & Win builds a cartoon vault around that idea, with three of them lined up beside the reels waiting to be charged.
The tone stays deliberately silly throughout, and Hacksaw Gaming lean into it: tiled floors, glowing lights and heaps of coins rather than anything resembling an actual robbery.
Underneath sits a 5×3 grid with 17 fixed paylines and stakes from 0.05 to 400 a spin. Volatility is medium at 3/5, and the ceiling stops at 2,500x.
RTP is 96.30% in its default configuration, though operators can run reduced settings.
That 2,500x cap matches Magic Piggy OG, and sits a long way below the 7,500x on the 5×5 original, Magic Piggy.
The closer relative isn’t in the series at all. Hacksaw’s own 3 Cursed Chests: Hold & Win shares the same three-object structure, the same three feature types, the same 17 paylines and the same 2,500x cap.
So which is this: the third evolution of Magic Piggy, or the Cursed Chests framework with pigs painted over it?
Base Game & Features
The grid runs five reels by three rows, with 17 fixed paylines reading left to right from the leftmost reel on adjacent positions.
Royals do the filler work at up to 3.60x for five. Cherries, lemons and plums pay 12.00x, while horseshoes and diamonds top the standard set at 24.00x, matching the Wild.
What actually defines the game sits outside the grid. Three Piggy Banks in pink, gold and purple line up beside the reels, each charged by Lucky Hammers in the matching colour.
Only one bank can activate per spin, and it resolves once wins have paid. Charging happens regardless of whether the spin pays, so a blank result can still push a bank closer to firing.
Magic Wild Respin
The pink bank triggers the Magic Wild Respin. Wilds land carrying multiplier values that run from 2x through to 100x.
Where more than one multiplier contributes to the same win, those values are added together rather than multiplied.
Magic Coins Bonus
Gold runs the hold and win. Coins lock in place for the whole sequence, and three lives govern how long it lasts, with every fresh coin resetting the counter back to three.
Coin values are tiered by metal:
- Bronze: 0.2x to 1x
- Silver: 2x to 5x
- Gold: 10x to 25x
- Diamond: 50x to 1,000x
Magic FS Respin
Purple starts a respin that fills with Dead symbols and FS symbols. Seven FS symbols award Swindle and Swine, while six FS plus the FS Upgrade symbol award Epig Heist.
Every symbol collected is worth one free spin, so the count that finishes the respin also sets the length of the round that follows.
3 Magic Piggy Banks Hold & Win Free Spins
Both bonus rounds run on the same 5×3 grid with the three Piggy Banks still in play, opening with 7 to 15 free spins depending on how many symbols were collected.
Further Magic FS Respins during the round add another 2 to 10 spins on top.
Swindle and Swine
In Swindle and Swine, the third Lucky Hammer of a given colour guarantees that Piggy Bank activates, although it can still fire earlier than that.
The round can also upgrade into Epig Heist while it’s running.
Epig Heist
Epig Heist removes the wait entirely. Every Lucky Hammer that lands immediately activates its matching Piggy Bank, which makes the round considerably busier than its counterpart.
One rule matters more than it sounds. When the Magic Coins Bonus fires inside either round, the entire hold and win sequence costs just one free spin.
Bonus Buy and FeatureSpins
Four FeatureSpins options are available, each carrying its own listed RTP:
- Magic FS FeatureSpins: 96.28% RTP
- Piggy Bank FeatureSpins: 96.32% RTP
- Swindle and Swine: 96.32% RTP
- Epig Heist: 96.32% RTP
Magic FS FeatureSpins is the one outlier on RTP. FeatureSpins also stay switched on until you turn them off manually, so it’s worth checking the toggle before you carry on spinning.
Our Honest Verdict
The base game held up better than we expected. Wins were steady enough at 3/5, and having three meters filling gave every spin something to follow.
Pink was the letdown. Its wild respins were over quickly and rarely built into anything. Gold was the opposite: down to the last life, watching another coin reset the counter to three, is exactly what a hold and win should feel like.
Purple produced the sharpest tension, because the target’s visible. Getting within one symbol of the upgrade and missing it stings. Epig Heist justified the chase when it landed, hammers firing banks back to back, and Swindle and Swine felt tame afterwards.
It suits Hold & Win players who don’t want extreme variance, and anyone who likes several small objectives running at once. A 2,500x ceiling won’t hold big-number chasers, and 3 Cursed Chests regulars will recognise the furniture straight away.
Three piggy banks give you plenty to watch, but the ceiling breaks open a little early.
Overall Rating: 7.5/10
