Oink Oink Oink: Pharaohs Slot by Playtech

Sunny cartoon Egypt, played for laughs. Golden dunes roll back to a couple of sandstone pyramids, a lone palm leans in from the right, and the reels sit in a heavy gold surround under a bright blue sky. Down the left edge stand three chubby pig-pharaohs in striped nemes headdresses, red Grunt, green Snort and blue Squeek. Each one is a piggy bank, and each holds a different bonus. The paying symbols keep the jewelled-Egyptian look: a crossed gold crook and flail, a blue lotus-and-scarab fan, the Eye of Horus, an ornate chest, with pastel royals filling in behind them and a shiny Gold Pig acting as the money symbol.

Getting into a bonus works several ways. A coloured Coin can land and crack open the matching bank, three or more Scatters break one, or three or more gold Hammer symbols smash a bank at random. Which colour opens decides which feature you play. Red runs a jackpot pick: you keep choosing Gold Pigs, each revealing Mini, Minor, Major or Grand, and once three matching labels show up that prize is paid, from 20x on the Mini all the way to the 2,000x Grand. Green hands you five free games. Here's the twist worth knowing, the round is dealt on either 243 or 1,024 ways, decided at random, and one picture symbol is picked to be the only high-pay for the whole round alongside the royals. Every Green Coin that drops carries a +1 and stacks on an extra game.

Blue is the odd one. It's a single spin of a prize reel that can pay a flat cash amount from 5x up to 120x, hand you the Red or Green feature outright, or land on Respin and send you round again. There's no buy option, so every one of these has to arrive on its own. Same coin engine as its Astrosnouts sibling, dressed up in sand and gold this time.
