Piggy Riches 3: Hog Heaven Slot Review: Walking Wilds and Pearls

Piggy Riches 3: Hog Heaven NetEnt slot artwork

Piggy Riches 3: Hog Heaven gives its two main-game Wilds opposing directions: Mr. Piggy moves right and Mrs. Piggy moves left during Re-Spins. If they meet on the same row, they become a larger Colossal Wild, changing the scale of the chase. A separate Golden Pig trigger opens a 5×5 Free Spins mode where a roaming Colossal symbol collects Pearls and other prizes. The two features share oversized symbols, but their rules are distinct: one is a moving line-win sequence, the other a growing collector with a finite meter.

Main featuresOpposing Piggy Wilds move during Re-Spins and can collide into a Colossal Wild; a Golden Pig starts a Pearl-collecting bonus that expands its collector at fixed thresholds.

A three-row line game with a moving collision

The base game uses five reels and three rows, with line wins and up to 20 lines listed. Mr. Piggy and Mrs. Piggy Wilds can appear and start Walking Wild Re-Spins. At each Re-Spin, Mr. Piggy moves one position right and Mrs. Piggy one position left; the sequence ends once no Wilds remain. If they reach the same row and collide, they transform into a Colossal Wild. Its size depends on the collision location: 3×3 in the middle, or 3×2 at the top or bottom. That large symbol then has a random direction, left or right, and moves until it leaves the reels.

Every Wild begins with a ×1 multiplier, increasing by one for each winning combination it participates in during Re-Spins. If at least two Wilds with values of ×2 or higher contribute to the same line win, their multipliers add together and multiply that win. This is a specific threshold interaction: two ordinary ×1 Wilds do not satisfy the stated combination rule, while repeat participation can raise a Wild to the qualifying level. Re-Spin winnings are added to the triggering round at the same bet, after the walking sequence ends.

Golden Pig starts a different collecting feature

A Golden Pig Scatter anywhere in the main game awards ten Free Spins on a five-reel, five-row area. The feature starts with a 2×2 Colossal symbol at the lower-left. When Pearls land, it moves to collect them and any other symbols caught within its border; without a Pearl, it stays where it is. Pearl values range from 1.25× to 25× the bet and feed a collect meter. Five Pearls enlarge the collector to 3×3 and add two spins; nine reach 4×4 and add three; twelve reach 5×5 and add four. A collected Level Up also advances the meter to the next available gem and enlarges the symbol one stage. Once the meter is full, it accepts no more Pearls or Level Ups.

The bonus’s other symbols interact with the same collector. Coins can show 2.5×, 5×, 10×, 25× or 50× bet; Jackpot symbols show 1,000×, 2,000× or 5,000×. Applicable multipliers are applied to Coins and Pearls before collection. Each collected ×1 symbol advances a separate multiplier counter up to ×10, and +3 adds spins. The Mystery Wheel is collected by the Colossal symbol, then awards a multiplier, extra spins, Level Up or Coins. The nearby Collector total tracks Coins, Jackpots and Pearls gathered. As a result, the growing symbol changes both its reach and the set of values it can gather, but the full collect meter is a hard boundary on further size upgrades.

Reference values and the role of the meter cap

The official catalog lists a 96.06% RTP, volatility 9.9 and a maximum payout of 10,300× bet for this exact title. The record does not state a maximum-win probability, and operator settings may differ. The bonus rules do specify the collector’s three expansion thresholds and its ×10 multiplier cap, but those thresholds do not reveal the chance of collecting five, nine or twelve Pearls. Once full, the meter stops accepting additional Pearl and Level Up symbols, so later symbols cannot continue the size progression through that track.

Strengths and weak points

Strengths

Opposing Wild movement makes the Re-Spin feature easy to picture, while the bonus ties Pearl thresholds to both a larger collector and additional spins. Prize collection follows a clear spatial rule.

Weaknesses

The bonus runs Pearl, size, spin and multiplier counters at once, and the collection meter eventually stops accepting upgrades. Published prize values do not indicate the odds of reaching higher thresholds.

Our Editor’s View

Piggy Riches 3: Hog Heaven has two memorable but mechanically separate forms of movement. The base game sets two Wilds against each other across the rows, with their meeting creating a larger symbol and repeated winning participation raising multipliers. Free Spins instead use a Colossal collector that moves only when a Pearl arrives, expands at explicit collection thresholds and gathers any eligible symbols inside its border. The meter cap and ×10 counter give this bonus fixed limits despite its large prize values. That clarity is a strength: a player can see what expands the collector and what raises a Wild. The trade-off is that the feature contains several parallel resources—Pearl count, collector size, spins and multiplier—while the catalog offers no odds for reaching their later stages. It suits players who like visible collection milestones and movement across a grid, though less so anyone wanting the collision feature and bonus to combine into one continuous progression.
