Greedy Fortune Pig Slot

A slot from Pragmatic Play with a Chinese theme and has 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 fixed paylines. The min bet is just a friendly 0.10 per spin and what I like about the max win cap is that it’s all eights, that’s right 8888x how cool is that.

The feature is triggered by getting all 3 bonus symbols which only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4, and then you are awarded free spins randomly of 5, 6, 7 or 8. It is an unusual way to award free spins where it is random and not by how many scatters you trigger the feature with and a bad idea considering most slots where you have 3 to 5 scatters and the 5 scatters is almost never happening so this way players get a better chance of starting with more spins. There is an increasing multiplier during the feature and as long as there is a wild on the screen that moves from right to left you are not wasting your spins.

Graphics wise you are dealing with a Chinese themed slot that has a pig as a main character along with all the Chinese fortune symbols which all look great.

The music I find this slot even though it is a Chinese themed slot is has a good background music which I tend to leave on during a session if the music is nice. The sound effects are just as good and can be left on together with the music but the option is there to turn on or off the sounds or music.

The slot does have a bonus buy option for players that wish to avoid the base game grind because the bonus frequency is over 1 in 225 spins and paying 100x to get right into the fun feature is a time saver. Now instead of buying the bonus outright I would be more likely to do ante bets for 50% extra per spin and that is the case here so a 0.10 min bet would turn into 0.15 per spin and that is fine by me.

I played around with the 94.5% RTP version which is the casinos I play at have been offering this slot at even thou it is 2% under the max RTP you can still get a good session in the 94% RTP range which is why I still play on this lowered RTP.

Starting with a random number of spins of 5 to 8 is not enough spins in a slot and I would have liked to see at least 10 spins per feature as a start but the design of the slot does mean the spins last longer since the walking wilds don’t waste spins.

Greedy fortune pig is a 5x3 slot from Pragmatic play with 10 pay lines. You can play this game from a minimum bet of 10 cents and the maximum win you can have from this game is 8888x your bet size. The game has 4 premium symbols and 5 card symbols that from 20x to 1x your bet size. You get a winning connection every time you land 3 symbols of the same type on an active pay line. During the base game you can also land coin symbols from values 1x to 8x and jackpot values of 10x, 20x, 40x and 100x. These coin wins will not be added to your win unless you activate them and happens only if you land the green or red wild symbol. At any point of the base game a green or red or both wilds may land which will expand and collect all coins on the screen. After this a re-spin feature will trigger and the wilds will start walking towards the left. All wins are collected and paid out at the end of the spin. If you land the red wild every time you move left your multiplier will increase by one and this multiplier will be applied not just to your symbol wins but also to your coin wins.
You can land the free spins by landing 3 bonus symbols and you will get 10 free spins. During the free spins you have more chances of landing the wilds and coins. Most importantly every time you land the red wild symbol all your multipliers which are activated stay throughout the spin. If you want to win the bonus feature quicker you can pay an extra 50% of your base bets. Paying 100x your bet will win you an instant bonus round.
I play this game with the bonus bet activated and land features every 150 to 200 spins. If you don’t want to play with bonus bet then expect to land a bonus every 250 to 350 spins. The base game doesn’t pay much unless you activate the expanding wild feature. I have had base game wins ranging from 50x to 200x and bonuses usually pay from 20x to 200x. My highest win on this game has been a 620x.

I like most things about this game but I am not impressed by the base game. You just have to watch your balance drain until you hit with the top two symbols in stacked reels or wait for the expanding wilds. It would have been nice if the bonus game retriggered.
