Piggy Bank: 3 Pots Bonanza Slot Review
Three ceramic pigs in green, red and blue peer down over the reels of Evoplay‘s Piggy Bank: 3 Pots Bonanza, and each has brought a different key to the same vault. This is a game that barely pretends its base game matters: the paytable is there to keep the lights on, while everything worth chasing – including a 3,000x GRAND jackpot – sits inside one collection round. That lopsided build works better than it sounds, because the three boosters mean every trip into the vault plays differently.
Piggy Bank: 3 Pots Bonanza is a 5×3 slot with 20 fixed paylines, running at 96.02% RTP with mid to high volatility. The ceiling is the 3,000x GRAND jackpot, and with the xReels booster in play there’s a shot at two of them in one round. Where Piggy Bank: Coinstorm hung everything on a single collector mechanic, this one spreads the action across three boosters – and that spread is what decides whether the piggy-bank vault is worth prising open.
How the Base Game Pays
Wins form the usual way: identical symbols running left to right across a payline, with only the highest combination per line paid. There are 10 regular symbols in total, topped by the Safe, and the royals prop up the bottom of the table. Here’s what each pays as a multiple of your bet:
- Safe: x0.5 for two, x3 for three, x20 for four, x100 for five
- Diamond: x2 for three, x15 for four, x30 for five
- Money Bag: x2 for three, x10 for four, x20 for five
- Gold Bars: x1 for three, x7 for four, x15 for five
- Coin Ring: x1 for three, x5 for four, x10 for five
- A and K: x0.5 for three, x1.5 for four, x5 for five
- Q, J and 10: x0.5 for three, x1 for four, x3 for five
The Wild substitutes for all regular symbols in winning combinations, except Bonus symbols, and only appears on reels two to five in the main game. It carries no paytable of its own. Stakes run from 0.10 up to 10,000.00 per spin.
Bonus Symbols and the Bonus Game
Four types of Bonus symbol appear: Red, Blue, Green and Gold. Each carries a random value – 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 10x, 12x or 15x the total bet – or one of the MINI, MINOR and MAJOR jackpots. The coloured versions only appear in the main game, and Bonus symbols only ever pay inside the Bonus Game itself.
Whenever coloured Bonus symbols land, there’s a chance the Bonus Game triggers with the booster matching their colour. At the start of the round, every coloured Bonus symbol from the triggering spin turns Gold and locks in place with its value. The normal reels are replaced by special reels carrying only Gold Bonus symbols and empty spaces.
It’s a hold-and-win format. You start with three spins, and every new Gold Bonus symbol that lands resets the count back to three. The round runs until the spins run out or all 15 positions fill with Gold symbols, at which point every value on the grid is added up and paid as a total.
The Three Boosters
Blue triggers xReels, Red triggers xFortune, and Green triggers xSpins. The Bonus Game can fire with one, two or all three of them at once, and each changes the round in its own way:
- xFortune: each round, the values of one to four random Bonus symbols can be increased by 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x the total bet. Jackpot symbols are excluded.
- xReels: a second bonus field is added, with the bottom field’s symbols duplicated to the top. Both fields spin independently and their prizes are summed.
- xSpins: the starting spin count rises from three to four.
xReels is the structural standout, because with two fields in play there’s a chance to fill both grids completely and bank two GRAND jackpots in a single round. It’s the only booster that changes the shape of the feature rather than just its generosity.
The Jackpot Ladder
Four jackpots sit alongside the symbol values, all paid as multiples of your bet:
- GRAND: 3,000x bet, awarded for filling all 15 positions with Bonus symbols of any type
- MAJOR: 350x bet
- MINOR: 80x bet
- MINI: 35x bet
The MINI, MINOR and MAJOR symbols pay their jackpots directly when they land in the round. The GRAND is the collection prize, and it’s the only path to the game’s biggest payout – no single symbol hands it over.
Bonus Buy
If waiting on the pigs doesn’t appeal, the Bonus Buy skips the queue and triggers the round directly, with your choice of booster loadout:
- One random booster: 35x total bet, RTP 95.99%
- Two random boosters: 44x total bet, RTP 96.14%
- All three boosters: 66x total bet, RTP 96.11%
After purchase, the reels spin and give out coloured Bonus symbols that start the round, played at the total bet of the purchase spin. The buy only works in the main game and isn’t available in every market.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.7/10
You’ll spend most of a session spinning reels that can’t pay you much, waiting on coloured coins that only matter later. The reason to sit through that is the round they unlock: a collection grid where every new symbol buys you more time, and one hot streak of resets can turn a quiet session around.
The booster stacking is the best thing here. Because xFortune, xReels and xSpins change the shape of the round rather than just its numbers, two bonus games rarely play the same, and the double-grid shot at two GRANDs is a proper twist on a format that badly needed one. The weakness is the ladder underneath: MINI at 35x and MINOR at 80x are small change for a feature that takes its time arriving.
This is for players who enjoy the long build of a collection slot and don’t need the base game to feed them between rounds. If you want a paytable that pays its own way, it isn’t here. But the vault is well guarded and well stocked, and once the pigs finally tip, patient players get paid properly for the wait.
