About Piggy Bank Slot
The twist here is dual-direction paylines. Forty total, with half evaluating left-to-right across the 3-column row structure and half evaluating top-to-bottom down the columns. That's uncommon for YGR - most of the catalogue stays strictly left-to-right - and it means the same winning combination can pay on both axes if the symbols line up correctly. Win both ways, effectively. Base grid sits at a compact 3x3.
Then the pig system. Three different pig symbols operate independently, each triggering its own feature. Yellow Piggies land only on the four corners and the center of the grid - five fixed spawn points, nowhere else. Three of them award 7 free spins, four award 10, and five award the max 15. Red Piggies land anywhere but behave differently: whenever one drops, it locks in place and grants one respin, and each new Red Piggy that lands during the respin chain resets the counter back up. Clustering Red Piggies into a long sequence is how the base-game potential stacks up. Then there are Piglets - scatter-equivalent baby pigs that combine with Yellow and Red Piggies on the overall pig count. Five or more pigs of any mixed type and the Bonus Game fires.
The Bonus Game is where the grid changes. It expands. Standard entry starts at 10 free spins on the base 9-cell configuration, but as more pigs accumulate during the round, the grid scales up progressively, topping out at a 54-cell maximum spread across 6 mini-grids. Each new pig landing during the bonus also applies its multiplier value to the 8 surrounding reel positions, creating localized multiplier fields that stack as the round progresses. GRAND, MAJOR, and MINOR jackpot Pigs appear during the bonus too, carrying fixed prize values (displayed permanently on the banner at top of the play area during base game as a preview: $200 for the 9-Piggy GRAND at the 0.20 stake). Those three don't get multiplied by the 8-reel bonus - they pay their stamped values flat.
The Any 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ladder on the left rail during base play shows escalating prizes for collecting that many pigs of any single color, with Any 8 paying $20 at the 0.20 base bet. Buy Bonus is available for direct entry to the 10-FS round. Symbol set on the base grid runs Chinese-prosperity iconography: red, green, blue, yellow, and orange money bags stamped with 寿 longevity characters, gold and silver ingots carved with greek-key borders, all rendered against a deep red Chinese brocade backdrop embossed with auspicious cloud patterns. Pig art is cartoon-round - bright pink snouts, gold coin-slot backs, cheerful expressions. Bet range 0.20 to 50.00.
