7 Piggies

Q: What is the RTP of 7 Piggies?

95.99%, the figure Pragmatic Play publishes on the official game page. That is half a point under the catalogue's usual 96.5%. One caveat: SlotCatalog documents a second version shipped at 94.04%, and the choice belongs to the casino. The rate actually applied is always visible in the game rules, reachable from the machine's menu.

BetsRank Verdict

Our read of the game, based on the data the studio publishes

7 Piggies runs on exactly the same chassis as 7 Monkeys, released two years earlier: five reels, three rows, seven fixed lines, stakes from 0.07 € to 35 €. Same studio, same skeleton, and yet two very different games — because the bonus has nothing in common, and neither does the return figure. Where the monkey game tops out at 92.71%, this one shows 95.99% on the official Pragmatic Play page. Three points of difference between two near-twins is the sort of detail that decides a session on its own. The design idea fits into one line of the product sheet: the piggies are always stacked on all reels. That is not cosmetic. On a grid with only seven lines, stacking changes the distribution completely: when a reel fills with the same pig, all seven lines land together or none does. The crowned golden pig acts as the stacked wild and substitutes for everything except the barn. It pays up to 150x the total bet for five on a line, which remains the best result available in the base game. The bonus is the real find, and it is craftier than it looks. Three or more barn scatters open the round with five free spins and an x1 multiplier — a deliberately meagre starting point. You are then invited to click the barns that triggered the feature. Each one reveals either extra spins (+3, +5, +8 or +10) or extra multiplier (+1x, +2x, +3x or +5x). You do not choose: you uncover. The result is that two consecutive bonuses can have nothing in common. Thirty-five spins at x1 on one side, five spins at x16 on the other: two opposite risk profiles drawn from the same feature. That is a clever piece of design, and it also explains the medium-to-high volatility rating despite a modest grid. The trigger is not rare, but the value of a bonus swings by a factor of ten depending on what the barns cough up. Add the retrigger, with no limit announced by the studio, and the range widens further. Two reservations. First: Pragmatic Play ships this game in several RTP versions, and SlotCatalog documents a variant at 94.04%. Two points below the reference version is not trivial, and nothing on the loading screen warns you — you have to open the game rules casino by casino. Second: the supplier publishes no win ceiling, and databases carry values that do not agree with one another at all, including five-figure multipliers that sit awkwardly against what the paytable actually shows. What is left is an honestly built 2017 machine, with a good bonus idea, unpretentious farmyard artwork and a 35 € stake ceiling that reserves it for small and mid-sized tickets.

Strengths

+A reference RTP of 95.99%, three points above 7 Monkeys on an identical engine
+The barn bonus produces two opposite risk profiles: many spins or a large multiplier
+Pigs stacked across all five reels: when a stack lands, all seven lines pay together
+Free spins retrigger with no announced limit, which stretches the best sequences
+Stacked wild paying up to 150x the total bet for five symbols on a line
+A 0.07 € floor stake, built for small balances

To consider

−A 94.04% variant circulates in casinos and nothing flags it before you open the rules
−The bonus opens deliberately poor: five spins at x1 until the barns give something up
−You do not choose what the barns reveal, so the value of the bonus is imposed on you
−No official win cap: databases publish figures that do not corroborate each other
−A 35 € stake ceiling per spin, very low for today's market
−No bonus buy, even though all the game's value sits inside the free spins

7 Piggies: what the barns are hiding

7 Piggies was released on 17 October 2017 and reuses the exact structure of another Pragmatic Play title, 7 Monkeys: five reels, three rows, seven fixed paylines, and a stake range from 0.07 € to 35 € per spin, set through a coin value between 0.01 € and 0.50 €. The theme moves from jungle to farmyard, and the resemblance roughly stops there. The distinguishing feature the studio advertises on its own product sheet is that the piggies are always stacked on all reels. On a seven-line grid, that stacking changes base game behaviour radically: results arrive in clusters. Either a reel fills with the same symbol and several lines land at once, or nothing happens. The crowned golden pig serves as the wild, stacked as well, and substitutes for every symbol except the barn scatter. Five wilds on a line pay up to 150x the total bet, which is the best outcome reachable without the bonus. The barn is the scatter symbol and the only way into the feature. Three or more barns, anywhere on the grid, open the free spins round. The opening is deliberately stingy: five spins only, with the multiplier locked at x1. What follows is where the feature gets interesting. The game invites you to click each of the barns that triggered the round. Behind each barn sits either a boost in free spins — +3, +5, +8 or +10 — or a boost in multiplier — +1x, +2x, +3x or +5x. Nothing is chosen: everything is revealed. The practical consequence is worth understanding before you play. One and the same trigger can produce a long, flat round or a short, explosive one. Three barns that all deliver spins give roughly thirty spins at the minimum multiplier; three barns that all deliver multiplier give five spins at a far higher factor. With four or five barns on the trigger, the gap widens further. That internal dispersion is what explains the medium-to-high volatility rating despite a very conventional grid. The round can also retrigger, with no limit announced by the supplier. The reference return figure is 95.99%, as displayed by Pragmatic Play on the official game page. It sits half a point under the catalogue's usual 96.5%, which stays reasonable. The genuine warning lies elsewhere: SlotCatalog documents a second version shipped at 94.04%, and it is up to each casino which one it runs. The only way to know is to open the game rules from the machine's menu before the first spin. The game offers no bonus buy. No official win cap is published by the supplier, and the values recorded across databases do not corroborate one another.

The game in pictures

Screenshots of the actual game, not promotional art — every screen is described from what it shows.

7 Piggies — The base game — A 5x3 grid at a $2.10 bet: symbols land stacked, the green pig filling all three cells of reel 1, the crowned pink pig reels 2 and 3 in full, the golden one reel 4 and the purple one reel 5. The bottom banner invites you to hold the spacebar for turbo spin.

7 Piggies — Game rules — Page 1/6 of the paytable, stated in dollars: the green pig pays $45.00 for five, the pink and the purple $15.00, the orange and the blue $4.50. The crowned golden pig, standing alone at the bottom, is the WILD and substitutes for everything except the SCATTER.

7 Piggies — A game rules — Page 2/6: 3 barn SCATTERs or more, anywhere, open a round set from the outset at 5 spins and a 1x multiplier. Each triggering barn is then clicked to reveal a random addition, 3, 5, 8 or 10 spins or a 1x, 2x, 3x or 5x multiplier, added to the starting values.

7 Piggies — How to play — Page 4/6, "HOW TO PLAY" then "MAIN GAME INTERFACE": every icon in the bottom bar is described, including the speed button that cycles through three settings, normal, quick spin and turbo spin. Clicking the CREDIT and BET labels switches the display between coins and cash.

7 Piggies — Settings menu — Page 5/6: the SETTINGS menu holds four entries, including GAME HISTORY which opens the game history page. The BET MENU block states that the bet is set through two separate fields, COINS PER LINE and COIN VALUE.

7 Piggies — Autoplay — Page 6/6, the shortest of the six: two sentences on AUTOPLAY, including the SKIP SCREENS option which automatically skips the feature introduction and end screens after a short delay.

7 Piggies — Buying the feature — The banner running above the reels states the free round's rule in one line: "OPEN [barn] TO REVEAL MORE FREE SPINS OR MULTIPLIERS". Below it, the grid shows the same $2.10 bet and stacked symbols across all five reels.

❓Frequently asked questions about 7 Piggies

What is the RTP of 7 Piggies?▾

95.

99%, the figure Pragmatic Play publishes on the official game page. That is half a point under the catalogue's usual 96. 5%. One caveat: SlotCatalog documents a second version shipped at 94. 04%, and the choice belongs to the casino. The rate actually applied is always visible in the game rules, reachable from the machine's menu.

How does the 7 Piggies bonus work?▾

Three or more barn scatters open the round with five free spins and an x1 multiplier.

The game then has you click each of the barns that triggered the feature: each reveals either extra spins (+3, +5, +8 or +10) or extra multiplier (+1x, +2x, +3x or +5x). The contents are not chosen, they are uncovered.

How many free spins can you get?▾

Five at the opening, then as many as the barns reveal.

Each barn can add up to ten spins, and the number of barns to click matches the number of scatters that triggered the round. A five-barn trigger can therefore run past fifty spins, but only if none of them delivers multiplier instead. The feature can also retrigger.

Are free spins or multiplier better?▾

You do not get to decide, but the two outcomes are not equivalent.

A batch of spins at an x1 multiplier spreads the result and pays through volume; a high multiplier over five spins concentrates everything into a handful of rotations. On a seven-line grid with stacked symbols, the second profile produces the most extreme results, in both directions.

What is the volatility of 7 Piggies?▾

Medium to high.

The conventional grid and a fairly regular bonus trigger would suggest something gentler, but the internal dispersion of the free spins round pulls the profile upward: two consecutive bonuses can be worth ten times less than one another. Stacked symbols reinforce the effect by grouping base game wins.

What is the maximum win on 7 Piggies?▾

Pragmatic Play publishes no official cap for this 2017 title.

Databases carry values that do not corroborate each other at all, some quoting five-figure multipliers that sit awkwardly against the game's paytable. BetsRank therefore flags this data point as unresolved rather than repeating an unverifiable figure.

Does 7 Piggies offer a bonus buy?▾

No.

The game dates from October 2017, before the feature buy became common at Pragmatic Play. Free spins can only be obtained by landing three or more barns on the grid, which weighs all the more heavily given that almost all the game's value sits in that round.

How does it differ from 7 Monkeys?▾

The chassis is identical: five reels, three rows, seven fixed lines, stakes from 0.

07 € to 35 €. Everything else differs. 7 Monkeys awards a free spin count fixed in advance by the number of scatters, with the multiplier capped at x3, and posts a 95. 99% RTP. 7 Piggies varies both spins and multiplier by draw, and posts 95. 99%. The second is clearly the better choice.
