Pigsy Demo Slot - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Game Theme & Storyline

Otherwise known as Zhu Bajie, Pigsy is a pig demon who helps and often hinders Monkey and the water demon Sandy in their adventures. Based on the classic of Chinese literature, Journey to the West, Pigsy often gets his companions in hot water thanks to his voracious appetites for women, food and alcohol. He also uses a vicious multi-pronged rake as a weapon.

SimplePlay Online Slots have taken Pigsy as their hero and gone right back to his origin myth. Here, we find the once handsome marshall of the heavens sent to earth as a punishment for attempting to seduce the beautiful moon goddess. Can he complete the journey to Buddha to find enlightenment and atone for his sins?

Graphics & Sound

As we’ve come to expect from this developer, the realisation of this traditional Chinese theme is second to none. From the evocative, cinematic soundtrack that blends east and west to the exquisitely drawn symbols and background to the reels, this slot oozes quality and the characters in particular are superbly realised, from the handsome hero, as was, to the pig enjoying some earthly delights.

The game symbols feature the delicious treats that Pigsy loves to eat, including sticky rice cakes and lacquered duck, all washed down with traditional rice wine. You’ll also find Pigsy in his original guise and in his new pig skin, and the moon goddess herself. This stunning slot plays equally well on desktop and handheld devices where the graphics look amazing on an ultra HD screen.

How to Play

All games in this 243 ways slot are played for 30x your selected denomination. All pays pay left to right reading from the leftmost reel and symbols can fall anywhere on the reels for winning combos as long as the reels are adjacent. This holds true even when the reels expand to 4 and then 5 rows during the free spin feature.

SimplePlay slots feature a bold and distinctive player interface with the autoplay and max bet options clustered by the spin button. A visit to the paytable will give you at a glance intel on the symbols to root for, including Pigsy himself who pays a generous 500x your stake for 5 of a kind. There are 11 paytable symbols in total, 6 royals and 5 game symbols, plus the special wild and scatter symbols featuring pre-transformation Pigsy and the moon goddess.

Bet Sizes and Maximum Win

The Pigsy slot offers players a betting range between 1.5 and 15 credits per spin, which you can adjust by selecting different bet and coin sizes or select bet max to play spins at the highest available tariff.

The maximum win awaits the lucky player who can trigger the Grand progressive jackpot prize. This can happen at random after any spin, but the higher your stake, the more likely you are to land this potentially life changing sum. The chances are you’ll exhaust your bankroll playing this high volatility slot long before you trigger a jackpot.

RTP & Volatility

This is a very high volatility slot with above average RTP at 96.05%. Just a word of caution - these metrics can be valuable in giving you an indication of the long term payout ratio and risk to reward ratio, but should be taken as a hypothetical number. Your own RTP will differ based on a number of factors including frequency of spins and the performance of the RNGs.

The available progressive jackpots make this a super high volatility slot, but triggering the Grand Jackpot can be extremely costly.

Our Verdict

Pigsy is yet another high quality Chinese mythology themed slot from the inventive team at SimplePlay. From the outstanding graphics and sounds to the well balanced gameplay, this stunning slot offers plenty of entertainment and playability.
