Mr Oinksters Power Hit: Hit The Millionaire Piggy's Stash For up to 5,000x Wins

How come these piggies are all multi-millionaires with golden piggy banks, sacks of cash, and piles of treasure lying around? That's clearly not the pressing issue for Mr Oinkster. The guy is already rich and somehow still wants us helping him chase up to 5,000x payouts inside his absurdly lavish mansion with gold coin prizes, four jackpots, and a free spins bonus game. 

The game takes place inside that affluent estate on a diamond-shaped reel setup featuring 5 reels with a 3-4-4-4-3 layout and 576 ways to win. Symbol values range between 0.25x and 10x your bet, and during my session, most winning combinations landed somewhere between 0.25x and 1.50x my stake. The problem wasn't necessarily the payouts themselves, but the time it took for them to arrive.

The main attraction is the Power Hit Collection feature. Coin symbols drop onto the reels constantly, sometimes appearing multiple spins in a row, but they're worthless unless Mr. Oinkster himself lands as a Collect symbol on reel one or five. If he appears on reel five alongside coins, the first reel can respin for a second collector. Likewise, if only coins land, the outer reels may respin in search of collectors. It's a nice mechanic that keeps otherwise dead spins alive.

I didn't see Collect symbols very often, but when they finally showed up, they delivered some of the session's better moments. Just two or three coin symbols were enough to produce payouts ranging from 2.75x to 16x my bet. 

Eventually, I landed three Scatter symbols, triggering the Free Spins feature. The bonus expands the middle reels to six rows each, increasing the layout to 1,944 ways to win. Whenever collect symbols land, they expand to fill the entire reel before slowly nudging downward one position at a time. Every time coins are collected, the symbol jumps back to its original position and starts the journey again.

My first bonus wasn't particularly explosive. I managed to land two Collect symbols halfway through the feature, but most of the prizes attached to them were small, getting me a small 25x payout by the end of the round. Thankfully, later bonus triggers showed considerably more promise, and I was able to clear 55x returns on multiple occasions.

Mr. Oinkster might be swimming in gold, but he wasn't exactly sharing much of it during my session. Not a bad slot, but one that spends a little too much time teasing coin prizes instead of actually paying them.
