Cash Pig from Booming Games

Cash Pig oinks of luxury, from Vegas backdrop to show lounge music, to symbols dripping with riches. This sexy new slot comes from the innovative game provider Booming Games, who’ve been around less than ten years. They’ve certainly made an impression though, with Cash Pig being just one of the many incredible games they’ve developed.

Don’t expect to be met with some lowly farmyard backdrop – this pig is living it up compared to his cousins in the sty. On launching the game, you’re treated to a breathtaking view of the Paris Las Vegas hotel and casino, complete with the Paris hot air balloon, and glittering Eiffel Tower restaurant. So what’s in the name? While the slot is luxury-themed, the name is taken from the piggy bank or cash pig symbol that triggers a special feature. There is nothing barnyard about this game. The 5-reel, 4-row game grid is resplendent in gold and purple, offering luxury items symbols while funky, jazzy music plays in the background.

The symbols

Cash Pig separates its symbols into two categories: major and minor. The major symbols are all photographs of luxury items that appear in both original and gold versions: a gold jet, a white jet, a gold Ferrari, a red Ferrari, a gold watch, a silver watch, a diamond ring with a gold band, and one with a platinum band. The original versions of the symbols appear in the base game, while their Midas-touched counterparts come out to play during the Free Spins feature. The minor symbols A, K, Q, J, and 10 only come in one version but are integral to a second feature of the Free Spins bonus game. Beyond the major and minor players, we have a diamond symbol as the wild, and the scatter is an image of two gold champagne glasses clinking above the word ‘Scatter’.

Try to control yourself!

The controls are simple: a panel of three symbols right of the reels lets you adjust settings, see game information, and stake your bet. Through the settings link you can set up autoplay, auto-adjust your bet, change to left-handed mode, use the spacebar to spin, and change the language. The info button brings up a page with two tabs: information on the game and the rules; and the paytable. The betting button – two rolls of coins – lets you decide how much to stake. A shortcut for this can be found below the game grid to the left of the current balance field, and Booming Games has even provided players with some handy shortcuts.

Autoplay lets you set the reels to spin non-stop for a set number of spins – 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 250, 500, 750, 1000, or infinity. A shortcut for an automatic 50 spins without any stop conditions can be found by clicking the + sign next to the spin button. This also gives you further options to turn the music and sound effects off and on, to bet the maximum amount per spin, and to select the quick spin setting.

Piggy Bank

The Piggy Bank feature for which the game is named is triggered by the appearance of the gold Cash Pig symbol on reel 5; when this lands, all gold coin symbols on reels 1-4 can be cashed in. This makes for some exciting big wins!

Free Spins

While this slot’s name might come from the first feature, it is the second one that makes this video slot reel-y special – it’s a 3-in-1 triple threat, where the Free Spins bonus games also activate the Major Upgrade and Minor Elimination features. Landing champagne scatter symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5 on one spin triggers the Free Spins bonus and scores you 12 free spins. You’ll be awarded an additional 6 spins every time you land the same pattern of scatters during the Free Spins bonus game. This might seem straightforward but here’s where the major – and minor – fun begins…

Major Upgrade

During free spins all major symbols get an upgrade to gold status when they appear in a winning payline. The upgraded major symbols are the sexy gold versions of the regular luxury items and have double their value! This automatically turns all remaining versions of that symbol gold for the remaining free spins. Activated gold symbols are displayed above reel 5.

Minor Elimination

While the Free Spins bonus is active, all minor symbols that form part of a winning combination are eliminated from the reels for the remaining free spins. This causes tiles to cascade so (hopefully) more valuable symbols can form more valuable paylines. The eliminated minor symbols are displayed above reel 1, so that you can track your progress.

Cash Pig is widely available to play on mobile, desktop, or laptop at online casinos in South Africa. It is supported on iOS, Windows, Linux and Android. Recommended browsers include Safari, Chrome, Edge and Firefox.

This video slot is high volatility, which means big potential wins, but also big risk. Make sure to set your time/cash limits before you dive in. This slot also has high variance, so wins are less frequent but really impressive when they come! Cash Pig has an RTP of 95.11%, and a maximum win of 8000x. Play well and you may just end up rolling in the bacon!

Cash Pig is a delightfully fun yet classy slot with four fabulous and innovative features that will appeal to a more discerning player. It’s a game built for excitement, not for lazing away a quiet Sunday – this one is for the players who want some real risk and reward action.
