Piggy Payout Slots
Undoubtedly one of the best-known games in the entire Eyecon catalogue, Piggy Payout is a farmyard-themed 5-reel, 25-payline slot which gives players a shot at landing a 10,000x top jackpot.
Boasting a free spins feature and a prize pick bonus round, Piggy Payout provides plenty of depth beyond its base game offering and the slot’s charming theme and colourful graphics will ensure most players are kept entertained. Available to play from just £0.01 per spin, it is a game that won’t break your casino bankroll, but still offers plenty of scope for sizeable returns with all 25 paylines enabled.
The Simple Life
As with the vast majority of slots developed by Eyecon, Piggy Payout is an incredibly easy game to get to grips with thanks to most betting options being controlled by two simple buttons. The first is labelled “change bet” and allows players to wager anywhere between £0.01 and £0.30 per spin, while the second is “change lines” and enables players to select between 1 and 25 active paylines.
When these two elements are combined, players will discover that Piggy Payout can be played for as little as £0.01 per spin or as much as £7.50, with a starting price of £0.25 required to play with all 25 paylines enabled. Whatever investment they decide to make, players will be competing for a 5,000x regular jackpot that is doubled to a staggering 10,000x whenever a substitute wild is also included.
Further down the pay table, players will also receive smaller prizes for any three-of-a-kind or better combination, with some higher value icons even paying out for pairs. All winnings can also be doubled up to five times in a gamble feature at the end of each round to create even bigger wins.
Four Legs Good
In terms of visuals, Piggy Payout is certainly one of the most Eyecon-ic titles developed by the studio. That’s not to say that the graphics are necessarily the best, but more that the theme is so well-established and well-loved that players instantly recognise the game and warm to its characters.
The colourful cast in Piggy Payouts includes the titular pig himself, a black sheep, a cow, a dog, a rooster, an ear of corn, a sunflower and a windmill, with the standard Ace-through-Jack playing card symbols denoting some of the less valuable icons. The game itself, meanwhile, is played out to a backdrop of a verdant field featuring a red-roofed barn and several sheep grazing in the distance.
All in all, this gives the game a pretty consistent look and feel, but being one of Eyecon’s older titles, Piggy Payout falls down a bit in terms of animations as – put quite simply – there aren’t any. Icons merely flash when a winning payline is triggered, meaning prizes are issued without much fanfare.
Barnstorming Bonuses
When it comes to bonus rounds, Piggy Payout upholds Eyecon’s tradition for fun features by supplying players with both a free spins game and a special prize pick round. The former is activated whenever three or more pig scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels, with three, four or five pigs resulting in 15, 20 or 25 free games and an additional prize payout of up to 100x your line bet.
During these free spins, all regular prizes are doubled, meaning players can potentially string together a lengthy winning sequence to boost their overall prize. As with any winning spin in the base game, prizes earned during free spins can also be gambled, but this comes with even more risk.
The prize pick bonus feature, meanwhile, is activated whenever three or more black sheep scatter symbols appear on the gameboard. When this happens, players will receive a number of picks dictated by how many sheep symbols were used to activate the feature (up to a maximum of five) and will then have to use those picks to uncover prize amounts worth up to 100x their triggering bet.
Farm Fresh?
While it may no longer be the most cutting-edge Eyecon slot on the market, Piggy Payout is certainly the most popular – and for good reason too. The theme is bright, colourful and fun, while the bonus prizes awarded by the free spins and prize pick features can significantly boost your winnings. All in all, this makes it an enjoyable game that is highly likely to remain a fan favourite for some time.
