The Great Pigsby slot review (Relax Gaming)

The Great Gatsby is a book by the famous American author F. Scott Fitzgerald

The story is set in the Roaring Twenties and features a veteran from the 1st World War struggling to reach the top and accumulate the elite’s wealth.

The Great Pigsby is a slot by Relax Gaming that is loosely based on the novel. At least, it’s about wealth, champagne, Pigsby and his girlfriend Daisy. The design and feel have a bit of a Piggy Riches slot vibe.

Relax Gaming is well on its way to building strong slot games and is gradually becoming a provider that must be reckoned with, especially when they start licensing Megaway’s slots in the future.

In 2018 they were already pretty successful with Erik The Red and Van Gogh and this The Great Pigsby video slot will amount even more to their success.

It looks crisp, has great bonus features and a good payout rate. The low variance will mainly appeal to the recreational player.

How does The Great Pigsby work?

The Great Pigsby has 5 reels and 3 rows of symbols; this amounts to 243 ways to win.

Bets start from $€ 0.20 per spin. Higher bets are also allowed: $€ 200 per spin is the maximum.

The theoretical payout percentage is an excellent 96.55%.

The variance is low. You can win a maximum of 496 x your total bet, which is not very high. You play this slot mainly to have fun and to get a lot of playing time, not to get rich.

Symbols and payouts

We start with the most important symbol: the wild symbol. This only occurs on reels 2 through 5 and appears in the form of a gold coin, which expands across the entire reel. Then the coin slides into the piggy bank. If this piggy bank is crammed and bursts apart, you win 1 of the 3 bonus features.

The Great Pigsby is the highest paying symbol in the game. Spin 5 of these rich pigs and you win 2 x the total bet.

His girlfriend is worth only 1 x the total bet for a 5-of-a-kind. A full screen of this determined lady will yield you 243 x the bet.

The medium paying symbols consist of the gramophone player (a beautiful old-fashioned one), a green gemstone and a champagne glass. These symbols pay between 0.40 x and 0.80 x the bet for a 5-of-a-kind.

The low paying symbols yield very little: the 10, J, Q, K and A are worth 0.30 x the total bet in case of a 5-of-a-kind.

Great Pigsby Spin

The Great Pigsby Spin can be activated at any time. The large Pigsby is placed in the middle of the screen, and around it, other Pigsby symbols are placed.

Crack the piggy bank and win a bonus feature

The piggy bank can burst at any time when a gold coin slides into it. You now win 1 of the 2 main bonus features.

Free spins bonus

You win 10 free spins; after each spin 1 low symbol exits the game. During the very last spin, only Pigsby and his girlfriend are left!

Wild Reels bonus

A minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 reels will be entirely transformed into wild if you win this feature.

Our verdict on The Great Pigsby?

The Great Pigsby is a decent Relax Gaming slot. But it no way, shape, or form can it be called exhilarating.

Although the game is very well designed, we are not that pleased with the very low variance.

When you start seeing “Big Win” animation with wins of 15 x – 20 x the total bet, you know it will be a challenge to win big.

3 out of 5 stars.
