The Great Pigsby Megaways Slot Review

The Great Pigsby Megaways: Slot Overview

The Great Pigsby Megaways throws me straight back into Mr Pigsby’s mansion, this time with the focus firmly on Megaways rather than jackpots. Relax Gaming has stripped away the Megapays pots and kept the core of the gameplay, so what you get is a high volatility, feature-packed slot built around expanding wild reels and random bonuses from the Piggy Bank. As someone who likes straightforward maths, that shift suits me rather well.

Base game spins take place outside the stately house with the jazz band playing behind the walls, then the free spins drag you inside where the party really kicks off. It has the same art deco glitz as the older titles, right down to the manicured pig bushes and smug host. I find it an easy slot to sit with for a session, as the presentation never grates.

The Great Pigsby Megaways Slot Information

The Great Pigsby Megaways runs on six reels with between two and seven symbols on each spin, giving from 64 up to 117,649 ways to win. Stakes start at 10 p per spin and climb to 50 in your chosen currency, which covers casual trials and more serious shots at a big hit. Official RTP sits at 96.08% with very high variance and a maximum exposure of 20,000 times your bet.

The Great Pigsby Megaways Symbols and Paytable

In The Great Pigsby Megaways the low symbols are 10, J, Q, K and A in shiny gold, each paying 0.4 times the stake for six of a kind. Premiums are a whisky and cigar set, a gramophone, a ring or tiara, the glamorous lady pig and Mr Pigsby himself. Hit six premiums and you are looking at returns between 0.5x and 3x, with Pigsby at the top.

The key special symbol in The Great Pigsby Megaways is the gold pig coin, which lands on reels two to six. Whenever it appears, it expands to fill the reel and shows a number that matches how many wild positions it counts as. That value is not a multiplier; it just means the game treats the stacked wild as several separate wilds when it calculates Megaways wins.

The Great Pigsby Megaways Slot Features

Expanding wilds in The Great Pigsby Megaways do more than stand in for other symbols. Each time one lands, it fires coins into the Piggy Bank that sits above the grid. Any spin that adds coins can randomly crack that bank and trigger one of three features: Great Pigsby Respin, Wild Respin or Free Spins. That wild-driven trigger system feels different from simply waiting on three scatters.

Great Pigsby Respin in The Great Pigsby Megaways drops between three and nine overlay Pigsby symbols before the reels settle, which can turn modest spins into chunky line ups of the best paying icon. Wild Respin is more blunt but just as handy, with two to five full reels turning wild for a single extra spin. When those stacked wilds fall in decent rows, the ways to win counter can climb very fast.

Free Spins in The Great Pigsby Megaways start with ten spins. During the bonus a golden envelope scatter can land; each envelope adds two extra spins and removes one rank of low royal from the reels, replacing it with non-royal symbols for the rest of the round. Once all royals have gone, envelopes only extend the feature. On a good run that symbol cull makes long strings of premiums feel much more realistic.

The Great Pigsby Megaways Slot Details

The Great Pigsby Megaways keeps the same visual style as its earlier versions, with a grand driveway, art deco pillars and smug pigs dotted around the garden. Wins bring jazz stabs and cheeky on screen messages that lean into the porcine theme. When the free spins pull you indoors the reels sit in front of a ballroom, and the soundtrack swells, which gives the bonuses a nice change of pace.

There is no cascade system in The Great Pigsby Megaways, so each spin is self contained, which I find helps manage the rhythm on high stakes. The game runs smoothly on mobile and desktop, and the Megaways layout scales well on a portrait screen. Base game play rarely feels flat because any expanding wild might feed the Piggy Bank and throw out a feature without warning.

The Great Pigsby Megaways Slot Verdict

For me The Great Pigsby Megaways sits as a sideways step from the Megapays game rather than a giant upgrade, but it has a clear place. Dropping the jackpots means the full 96.08% RTP goes into regular play, which suits bankroll grinders like me more than longshot pot hunters. The expanding wilds keep the base game lively and all three Piggy Bank features can hit very hard when they line up.
