3 Lucky Piggy review

Theme and Storyline

3 Lucky Piggy is a slot themed around the old fairy tale of three little pigs in three little houses. Only these little pigs are living a little larger.

Instead of houses made of sticks, straw, and bricks, these little piggies are joined on the reels by a mansion, a sports car, and a private jet. Good luck to the wolf who tries to blow those down!

This simple, cartoonish slot will appeal to players who enjoy gaudy consumption and porcine cartoons.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

3 Lucky Piggy is a slot built for mobile phone use. The vertical design doesn’t translate well to other devices but on a phone, the visuals look alright. The cartoonish style is easy to read if not very pretty, and the animations are competently drawn.

Unfortunately, the animations are also very badly paced, lasting far too long and are unskippable. The result is that the visuals end up making the gameplay agonizing to sit through.

Topping this off is a soundtrack of repetitive and annoying music and tooth-granting win and spin sounds. There is no mute button, so this will be a real deal breaker for some players.

Gameplay

This slot, 3 Little Piggy, has its reels in a vertical screen-friendly version of a classic five-reel setup with three rows on each reel. Across these reels are 60 winlines, on which the player can land their winning combinations.

The base gameplay of 3 Little Piggy is pretty straightforward and is exactly what you would expect of a slot of this type. However, it is spiced up a little by a wide variety of Feature Games that can be triggered by various combinations of the colored Coin symbols (see below for more details of these features). The sheer number of variants of this feature (no fewer than seven!) makes for gameplay that doesn’t get tiring.

The maximum win on any given round is capped at 5,200x the player’s bet.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The 3 Lucky Piggy slot has a Wild symbol that substitutes for all other symbols except the Red Feature, Blue Feature, and Green Feature symbols.

Whenever one of the three colored Feature symbols lands, it has a chance to trigger the Bonus Feature game.

The Bonus Feature starts with three spins and reels on which only Feature symbols, Coin symbols, and blank symbols appear. Every time a Coin or Feature symbol lands, it locks in place and the spin counter resets to three. The Bonus Feature continues until the spins are used up or the whole reel is filled with symbols.

The Coin and Feature symbols have random values assigned to them that the player collects at the end of the Bonus Feature.

The Blue Feature symbols have a randomized value that can go much higher than the Coin values. The Red Feature symbol applies a randomized multiplier to the Coin symbols. The Green Feature symbol collects the values of all the Coin symbols on the reels to set its value.

The combination of colored Feature symbols that trigger the Feature Bonus becomes the only version of the colored Feature symbols available during the Feature Bonus.

For example, if the Blue Feature symbol triggers the game, only Blue Feature symbols and Coin symbols appear on the reels. If the Blue Feature and the Green Feature symbol trigger the game, then only Blue and Green Feature symbols can appear on the reels, and so on…

This Bonus Feature has a great way of randomizing the type of rewards the player gets in a way that keeps things interesting.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

The return to player (RTP) of 3 Lucky Piggy is reported to be 97.10%, which is a great RTP, much higher than our yardstick for an average of roughly 96%. High RTPs like this are better for the player, allowing their gaming budget to stretch much further on average.

The range of bets on the site we tested was pretty wide. It ran all the way from a minimum bet per spin of $/£/€0.10 up to a maximum of $/£/€100 per spin. This means there is a bet size for every bankroll.

Unfortunately, 3 Lucky Piggy is a low to medium volatility slot. We tend not to recommend low-volatility slots to people using our preferred slot machine strategies. This is because our slot strategies target the highest possible volatility.

Conclusion

The two biggest downsides to the 3 Lucky Piggy slot are the slow animation speeds (even with Turbo Spin enabled) and the low volatility.

However, if volatility isn’t an issue and you can contend with the occasionally slow pace of play, the simple gameplay and high RTP might be just what you need from a slot.

The slot’s fun theme and bright (if a little annoying) soundtrack will appeal to some players as will the high RTP of 97.10%. So this one might be a good little piggy to take to market.
