Big Money Piggy – Hold & Hit 3×3 Slot Review
A monocled pig in a tailcoat, gold watch chain glinting and cigar in hoof, presides over a gilded mansion hall with purple staircases sweeping up past the reels. The setting promises a fortune the reels themselves rarely hand over – Big Money Piggy – Hold & Hit 3×3, from Spinomenal, pays almost nothing spin to spin and concentrates its entire payout into one locked-board collection round.
Behind the gilt, this is a compact 3×3 grid with 5 fixed paylines and a 5,000x maximum win, built on the same Hold & Hit collecting frame as Crown Strike and Mega Mummy. The game doesn’t publish an RTP figure, so anyone who cares about that number will want to check the paytable at their casino of choice.
Base Game and Paytable
All wins pay left to right from the leftmost reel, and only the highest combination counts on each line. Winning lines in a single round are added together into the total win. It’s a simple setup, and the game doesn’t complicate it.
The Wild substitutes for every symbol except the Bonus and Bonus Collect, and it’s the richest symbol on the board at 50x the total bet for three. The rest of the paytable, with all values as multiples of the total bet:
- Wild – 50x for three
- Boat – 30x for three
- Piggy (cash) – 20x for three
- Champagne Bottle / Telescope – 16x for three
- A, K, Q – 4x for three
- J – 1x for three
Three reels and five lines leave little room for nuance. Beyond the wild, nothing clears 30x, so line wins are pocket money.
The real money sits in the special symbols, which don’t pay as combinations at all. Their job is to feed the collection mechanics, and every feature in the game runs through them.
Bonus and Bonus Collect Symbols
The Bonus symbol lands on reels 1 and 3 only. The Bonus Collect symbol lands only on reel 2. That middle reel is the gatekeeper for everything this game does: pair a Collect with Bonus symbols either side and the Bonus Game begins.
The division of labour matters. Bonus symbols carry values that the Collects gather, so a spin can feature both without anything happening, and the same symbols do different jobs depending on which reel they occupy.
Bonus Game – Hold & Hit
A Bonus Collect on the middle reel, flanked by Bonus symbols, is the combination that sets the round off. The triggering symbols stay locked on screen through the transition, and the round starts with 3 spins. From that point, only Bonus and Bonus Collect symbols can land.
On each spin, any empty spot can randomly award one of the following multipliers of your bet:
- x1
- x2
- x5
- x7
- x10
- x15
- Bonus Game Jackpot multipliers
Each time a Bonus symbol lands, every Bonus Collect symbol on the board collects it: the Bonus symbol disappears and its value is added to each Collect’s running total. Landing any Bonus or Bonus Collect symbol resets the remaining spins back to three.
The round runs until three spins pass with nothing new landing, or until the collected winnings reach the maximum x5000 multiplier. When it ends, the values gathered by all Bonus Collect symbols are summed and paid as the Bonus Win.
Bonus Game Jackpots
Jackpot symbols can appear at random during the Bonus Game and trigger the corresponding win. The ladder, as multipliers of your bet:
- Grand Jackpot – x1000
- Major Jackpot – x150
- Minor Jackpot – x50
- Mini Jackpot – x25
Because jackpot multipliers can drop into any empty spot alongside the x1 to x15 prizes, a single hot streak can stack a Grand on a pile of collected values and climb towards the cap in one round.
Bonus Blast and Instant Win
Bonus Blast Feature
The Bonus Blast Feature can activate at random in the base game. When it does, additional Bonus and Bonus Collect symbols spread across the reels, ensuring enough or more symbols appear to trigger the Bonus Game. It’s a rescue mechanic, and it only fires in the base game.
Instant Win Feature
When a Bonus Collect symbol lands with one or more Bonus symbols, including Jackpot symbols, in a combination that doesn’t trigger the Bonus Game, the Collect takes their values and adds them instantly to the spin’s total win, straight to your balance. Also base game only.
Buy Feature
There’s a shortcut for the impatient. Clicking the buy button opens a window where you can adjust the bet you’ll play the Bonus Game with, and the buy price is set according to that bet. Pay it and the round begins at once, skipping the base game entirely.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7/10
This is a game about one door. You sit in the pig’s drawing room, the reels hand you the occasional wild and small change, and you wait for the middle of the board to finally deliver a Collect. That wait is the whole experience, and it’s the only reason to choose this over the plainer entries in the family, the same engine Spooky Halloween ran on dressed in much better wallpaper.
The strength is the round itself. Because every catch resets the counter and jackpot multipliers can land in any empty spot, a single hot streak can climb all the way to the 5,000x cap in one sitting, which most 3×3 collect games simply can’t offer. The weakness is everything either side of it: no line win beyond the 50x wild, and the Instant Win collects only soften the silence rather than break it.
For players who enjoy a long build towards one locked-board payday, this mansion is a very comfortable place to wait. Anyone who wants the reels doing the entertaining spin to spin will find the hall quiet. The pig keeps his money, but he does settle his debts with the patient.
