Hoggin’ Gold

Hoggin’ Gold Slot Review

The bank in Hoggin’ Gold doesn’t want your money – it wants your time. Fifty coins before the first bonus is a longer entrance fee than almost any collection slot charges, and this one spends the whole wait putting it on display: two crowned piggy banks, one blue and one pink, perched above the reels while their meters fill one coin at a time. That wait isn’t a hurdle in front of the game. In this one, the saving is the game.

SpinOn has built a patient game here. It runs on 20 paylines, at 96% RTP and high volatility, with stakes from €0.20 to €125 and a maximum win of 4,000x the bet. The base game is one long accumulation, and it commits to that build harder than most collection slots bother to. Whether the piggy pays for the patience is what follows.

Base Game & Features

The base game runs on 20 fixed paylines, and only the highest combination on each line counts. Wins land on roughly one spin in five, at a hit rate of 21.33%, so the spaces between them are regular. Most of those wins will be small: three royals pay as little as a tenth of the line stake.

What fills those spaces is the collection game. Blue and Pink Piggy coin scatters land on all five reels, up to five at a time, and each one feeds the matching piggy bank’s meter above the reels. Coins that land don’t pay anything themselves. They’re fuel, nothing more.

The wild appears on reels two, three and four only, in both the base game and the free spins, and substitutes for every symbol except the coin scatters.

Each piggy meter needs 50 coins of its colour to fill, and a filled meter is the only route into the bonus rounds. The symbol pays, as multiples of the line stake, run as follows:

• Piggy (money bag pig): 2x, 5x, 25x for three, four, five
• Bell: 1.5x, 3.75x, 17.5x
• Horseshoe: 1x, 2.5x, 12.5x
• Money Bag: 0.75x, 1.5x, 7.5x
• Gold Bars: 0.6x, 1x, 5x
• Cash Stack: 0.4x, 0.75x, 3.75x
• A, K: 0.25x, 0.5x, 2.5x
• Q, J, 10: 0.1x, 0.25x, 1.25x

There’s a steep drop from the money bag pig to everything else, and the ladder flattens out fast below the top three symbols. Even the horseshoe, third-best symbol in the game, returns less than a quarter of the total stake for a full line at the minimum bet.

The top of the paytable is where the 4,000x ceiling has to come from. Nothing in the base game gets close to it on its own, which tells you the figure lives in the bonus rounds, built from sticky multiplier wilds rather than any single line win.

Hoggin’ Gold Free Spins & Piggy Storage

Free Spins

Fill the Blue meter in the base game and you’re awarded 10 free spins. The screen changes: two identical machines sit side by side, but only the first is active, with the second locked until an upgrade. It’s a preview of what the round can become.

Both piggy meters stay live during the round, and the collection targets drop sharply from the base game’s 50. The retriggers work like this:

• 14 Blue coins refills the Blue meter: 5 extra free spins
• 14 Pink coins refills the Pink meter: 5 extra free spins and an upgrade to Super Free Spins
• Retriggers are unlimited

Because both meters run at once, a single round can chain the Blue retriggers while the Pink meter quietly fills towards the upgrade. The two tracks feed each other: more spins means more coins, and more coins means more spins.

The order of events matters. A Blue retrigger simply extends the round; a Pink retrigger ends the regular mode and moves play to the upgraded screen. Both coin types keep landing throughout, so a long round can stack several Blue extensions before the Pink meter finally tips.

Super Free Spins

The Pink meter filling, in the base game or during the regular round, is what triggers Super Free Spins. It also awards 10 free spins, and this time both machines on screen are live. Every win is evaluated twice, once on each grid.

Only the Pink meter is active in this mode, needing 40 Pink coins to retrigger, and each refill adds another 5 spins with no cap on the count. Only Pink coins land here; the Blue scatter disappears from the reels entirely. The higher retrigger target is the price of having two grids working at once.

Wild Multipliers

Wilds carry their own weight in both rounds. They’re sticky for the duration, each lands with a random x2, x3, x4 or x5 multiplier, and when more than one wild forms part of the same line win the multipliers are added together.

Two x5 wilds on one winning line is a x10 payout, before the symbols themselves are counted. Because they’re sticky, a wild that lands on the first spin keeps its multiplier for the whole round, and later wilds stack onto the same lines. In Super Free Spins, with two grids running, the sticky wilds can build up across a long retrigger chain. That’s where the serious money in this game lives.

Bonus Buy

A BUY button sits in the bottom right of the play frame for players who’d rather skip the 50-coin collection. The menu offers a direct route into the bonus rounds at the current stake, with prices shown before purchase.

Given how long the organic route takes, the buy is less a shortcut here and more a second way of playing the game entirely. The stakes run high enough that the bonus price scales with them.

Our Honest Verdict

Overall Rating: 7.7/10

Not much happens in Hoggin’ Gold for long stretches, and then a great deal happens at once. That’s the reason to pick it: the piggy banks fill slowly above the reels, and when one finally bursts, the round keeps escalating rather than paying out and ending. Few collection slots give the payoff a second act.

The escalation itself is the strength. Sticky multiplier wilds that add together across unlimited retriggers let one good round grow well past its tenth spin, and a second live grid in Super Free Spins is a genuine upgrade rather than a cosmetic one.

The weakness is everything before the burst: 50 coins is a long fill, and the paytable won’t carry you there, with three royals paying a tenth of the line stake. Players who enjoy watching a build come together will take to the wait easily; players after steady returns will find it a slog. For the patient ones, the vault does open in the end, and it’s worth the deposit.
