Smash the Pig Slot Review

How to play

The Smash the Pig slot is played on five reels, three rows, and 20 fixed paylines. Anyone familiar with online slots will know that these are the makings of a typical slot game with basic gameplay. Thus, you can easily get the hang of it after a few spins.

The unique thing about the Smash the Pig slot gameplay is the winning combinations. You can land matching symbols on any of the 20 pay-lines from left to right and right to left. This means that you get up to 40 paylines, considering that most slots only allow pays from left to right.

The slot can be played with a total betting range between €0.20 and €400, although this might be in the form of credits which is between 20 and 40,000. The betting range is wide, allowing all players to stake. Even if you stake the total bet, your wins are multiplied by the bet per line. This is the total bet divided by 20.

Finally, Q will provide 50x, 25x, and 5x, while J will give you 25x, 15x, and 3x your line bet, all for hitting five, four, and three symbols on any of the active lines respectively.

Best Smash the Pig bonus features

Don’t expect any features that you’re used to when looking out for the Smash the Pig bonus offers. They offer top cash prizes, extra gameplay, and fun, but they aren’t like wilds and the like. There is also no Smash the Pig free spins feature to look out for either.

Instead, there is a Pick a Pig bonus, which is triggered by landing three, four, or five piggybank scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. This will open another playing area with different pigs, and you will pick one. You can either pick a random multiplier up to 20x your total bet, a multiplier up to 15x your total bet, and an extra chance to pick all the awards – or unlock the Pig Smashing bonus…

The Pig Smashing bonus is activated when you land three, four, or five of the bonus symbols, which is depicted by three pigs. Whenever you land it, it adds to the Luck Meter above the reels. It is triggered when the meter is full. It will require you to pick a pig that offers a multiplier going up to 20x the total bet.

You have to keep picking pigs until the Luck Meter runs down. If you have picked five pigs and there is still luck in the meter, the other pigs run away and new pigs come in, adding more luck to the meter.

RTP & volatility

The Smash the Pig RTP is set between 92.15% and 96.17% which is between a below-average and above-average level. You can still expect decent wins here. It is a medium volatility slot.
