Oinkin’ Fortunes Slot Review
Oinkin’ Fortunes is honest about where its money lives: nearly half the game’s entire return is locked inside one feature, and the base game exists mainly to get you there. That’s a bolder design choice than it looks. Plenty of slots tease a big bonus round while still paying respectably spin to spin; this one asks you to treat the reels as a waiting room and the piggy banks above them as the actual game.
The Infinity Dragon Studios release runs on a 5×4 grid with 40 fixed paylines, medium volatility and a 96.14% RTP, with stakes from 0.10 to 40.00 per spin. Its closest stablemates include Black Sails: Kraken’s Hoard, Dragonlings: Fire & Riches Power Combo and Zeus Lightning Riches II. Whether the piggy banks are full enough by the time Link&Win arrives is what the whole design turns on.
Base Game & Features
Symbols & Paylines
The reels carry five card royals at the low end and four premium symbols above them. Wins run left to right across 40 fixed paylines, and the payline count can’t be adjusted. A payline is a pattern of adjacent positions running across the reels, and a win lands when matching symbols sit next to each other on one of those lines.
- 10, J, Q, K and A – the royals
- Money bag
- Safe
- Watch
- Diamond ring
Only the highest combination counts on any single line, and the total payout is the sum of every winning line from the spin. Line wins pay against the initial bet, which is the total bet divided by a payline cost of 10, and the paytable scales its payouts to whatever stake is set. The win-over figure shown alongside it is rounded down to roughly the highest possible single spin.
The Coin Stack Wild substitutes for every symbol except the scatters and the Wild Reel symbol. That’s its whole job, and it does it without ceremony.
Wild Reels
Wild Reel symbols can land on any reel during the base game. When one arrives, it instantly unlocks that reel’s meter and activates a Wild Reel, which adds bonus wilds to random spins from then on. The wilds themselves are ordinary substitutions – they don’t carry their own pays or multipliers.
Each additional reel unlocked raises the frequency of the bonus wilds and the size of the combinations they can complete. Better still, progress is saved: once a reel meter is unlocked, it stays unlocked between sessions, so the base game slowly accumulates firepower the longer you return to it.
Oinkin’ Fortunes Bonus Features
Bonus Surge
Landing two or more different coloured scatters charges the Bonus Surge feature. Scatter combinations build a Win Boost multiplier, starting at 20x and growing up to 200x, which is then held in reserve. The stored value doesn’t decay between triggers – whatever the banks have charged is what the next Bonus Surge round carries in.
When Bonus Surge is active, that Win Boost guarantees the total Link&Win feature win reaches or exceeds the stored value. It may also unlock Oinkin’ Upgrades from the very first spin, and it grants access to the Mini, Minor, Maxi and Major jackpots. On the final spin it triggers end-of-feature boosts even if the guarantee has already been met, so a round can finish above the stored figure as well as landing on it.
Link&Win with Oinkin’ Upgrades
Scatter coins collected in the matching piggy banks trigger the Link&Win feature, which begins with 3 spins. Each piggy bank grants its own upgrade to the round, and a scatter landing from an inactive bank mid-feature can unlock that upgrade too, combining several at once. The visible collection of coins into the banks is presentation only – it doesn’t influence the trigger.
A round can grow as it runs. Mid-feature unlocks add upgrades the round didn’t start with, and inside Multi Boost every Multi symbol resets the spin count back to three, so a single round can keep extending itself while the zone multipliers climb.
The four upgrades each change the round in a different way:
- Purple – Multi Boost: the reels split into four coloured zones (six when Giant Reels is active), each carrying a multiplier of 2x to 5x. Zone sizes are randomised on every trigger. Filling a zone at the end of the feature multiplies all prizes inside it and adds them to the total.
- Blue – Prize Boost: the Blue Piggy can upgrade coin values randomly on any spin.
- Green – Giant Reels: the reel set expands to 5×5 for extra coin positions.
- Red – Collect: the Red Piggy Collect symbol lands in any position, gathers every coin on the reels and pays them out.
Inside Multi Boost, Multi symbols raise their zone’s multiplier by 1x each, and more than one can land on the same spin or on successive spins, up to a maximum of 10x. After upgrading, the Multi symbol turns into a coin, which is worth collecting in itself. The zones pay only when filled, so a multiplier sitting on a half-empty zone contributes nothing.
Jackpots & the Jackpot Wheel
Bonus symbols appear on the reels during the feature, and each one that lands unlocks a spin on the Jackpot Wheel. The symbol then transforms into whichever jackpot the wheel awards and pays out at the end of the round, rather than immediately.
- Major – 100x total bet
- Maxi – 50x total bet
- Minor – 10x total bet
- Mini – 5x total bet
The Grand Jackpot sits above the wheel. It doesn’t need Bonus Surge at all: fill every coin position on the reels and it pays 5000x your bet. It’s the one prize in the game that cuts across every feature layer, which makes a full board of coins the thing worth rooting for.
Feature Buy
The Feature Buy triggers Link&Win with all four Oinkin’ Upgrades active from the start – Multi Boost zones, Prize Boost, Giant Reels and the Red Piggy Collect all running together. The stacking matters: Giant Reels expands the reel set to 5×5 while Multi Boost is active, so the bought round divides its prizes across six zones rather than four. Features are purchased at the price displayed and played at the current bet.
The bought round runs at 96.24% RTP, a shade above the base figure, with 49.04% of the game’s total return sitting inside Link&Win itself. By any measure, this is a slot that concentrates its money in the feature.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.7/10
This is a game about feeding piggy banks and waiting for them to open, and if that loop doesn’t grab you, nothing here will. The one reason to pick it up is the feature itself: when the banks finally tip, the round you get is genuinely yours, shaped by which colours you collected rather than one fixed script.
The strength is that variety. Four upgrades that stack in different combinations mean no two Link&Win rounds play alike, and the 200x Win Boost guarantee puts a floor under the whole thing that most hold-and-win games never offer.
The weakness is what you sit through to get there: with one win in four spins, the base game is thin, and the persistent wild reels only dress it up so much. It suits players who like saving up – the ones who enjoy a bank filling slowly and a payoff that differs every time. Anyone who wants their wins spread evenly across a session won’t find it here; the piggy banks keep everything until the end.
