Gold Pigger is stacked with features. At it’s heart is a simple Coin or fixed Jackpot Collect, triggered when the right combination of Coins and Collect symbols land. There are also Re-Spins, Free Spins with super-sized symbols, and a Hold and Win game.
This is how it all works:
Coin, Jackpot Collects and the Coin Collect Multiplier
Coins show up a lot.
They land on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 and take on a value of from 0.3x to 0.9x your bet. You also have Jackpot symbols also landing on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5, displaying one of four jackpot names – Mini (10x), Minor (25x), Major (100x) or Mega (500x).
In order to activate either of these symbol types and award their prizes you must land Collect Symbols at the same time. These ONLY land on reels 1 and 6.
But before any payout is made, the Coin Collect Multiplier is applied to the total win value from the Coin and Jackpot symbols. The Coin Collect Multiplier is taken from a meter that you’ll see to the left of the grid. It can progress through the following levels – 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x or 10x. In the base game, if you land a Collect Symbol WITHOUT a Coin or Jackpot symbol, then the multiplier value increases by 1 level.
That’s how Coin and Jackpot payouts are made.
NOTE: Fantasma say the odds of hitting this feature are 1 in 33 spins.
Rich Piggy Re-Spin
This is a mini Hold and Win game activated by landing TWO Collect symbols at once in the base game. Now, ALL visible Coin and Jackpot symbols lock into place and reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 re-spin to reveal ONLY Coins, Jackpots or Blank symbols.
Once the re-spin has played out then ALL Coin and Jackpots are added together and the Coin Collect Multiplier is applied to the total win before payout.
NOTE: Fantasma say the odds of hitting this feature are 1 in 261 spins.
Big Bacon Spin
This feature gives you another chance to win if Coins or Jackpot symbols land but NO Coin Collect. It’s an extra spin in which reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 combine to spin as ONE reel. But now ONLY Big Coin, Grand and Blank symbols can land.
Big Coins are special 4×4 symbols that only land during the Big Bacon Spin feature. If you land one of the Big Coins, then it breaks down into 16 individual Coins, each displaying a prize value OR a jackpot value. Once the spin has taken place, all Coin values and Jackpot values are added together and paid out.
The Grand symbol is the top value, 5,000x fixed jackpot prize. It MUST land fully visible for the prize to be activated.
NOTE: Fantasma say the odds of hitting this feature are 1 in 235 spins.
Piggy Vault Bonus
Finally, the main event is the Piggy Vault Bonus. This is triggered by landing FOUR bonus symbols on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 on one spin in the base game.
You start with 3 spins in which every position on the reel set spins independently.
ONLY coins or blanks can land during this feature. If a coin lands, it sticks and the counter re-sets to 3 spins. And when a column is filled with coins it is cleared. All coins values are added together and the Bonus Multiplier increases by 1 level.
When you run out of spins then the value of all Coins is added together. But before the payout is made, a Bonus Multiplier is applied to the total win value. This is taken from the Bonus Multiplier Meter that sits to the left of the reels, beneath the Coin Collect Multiplier.
It also has 10 levels – 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x or 10x. To progress it, you need to land just THREE Bonus Symbols in the base game on one spin. Each time, it goes up one level.
NOTE: Fantasma say the odds of hitting this feature are 1 in 326 spins.
