Editor's Opinion of the Slot
Could the game use more of a storyline and less suspect-looking piggy banks? Yes! Could there be more wilds and scatter symbols? Also, yes. But it is fun to play, the soundtrack is catchy, and while it may not be the most exciting and thought-provoking slot we have ever reviewed, it is one that we would play again, which is saying something.

Land the magician if you wish to enter the Free Spins round, where he can unlock gold coins and jackpot prizes. Otherwise, you can be paid for landing three, four, or five of the other symbols consecutively on a payline, starting from the first reel. A quick reminder that the magician acts as a wild symbol and that there are up to 40 paylines.

Piggy Prizes Wand of Riches Bonus Rounds
The only actual bonus round is the Free Spins round. The magician is stuck into the center of each of these spins, and before each spin, he will toss a coin into the piggy banks, hopefully making them grow until they burst. This gives us another six free spins. The Free Spins round also allows us to see the Magic Re-spin and, of course, for the magician to unlock any of the cash payouts or jackpots that might land.
Piggy Prizes Wand of Riches Design Layout
The theme here is magician meets money. Please note the rather portly piggy banks at each side of the top screen. Their rather alarming smiles not withstanding, we need to fatten these up until they go pop. You will see the four jackpots listed on the left, and under that, the Buy Bonus button, which, for 50x your bet, will automatically put you in the Free Spins Game.
If you land the Magic Spin when you first spin, the center reel stops and our rather dastardly-looking magician appears to work his sleight of hand. Sometimes, a re-spin brings him to his home in the middle of the center reel. When he does appear, he fattens the little piggies with a coin.
We have the usual ace, king, queen, jack, ten, and nine symbols. Then we have a gold dollar sign, green money, the blue magician's hat, and some purple playing cards. Then, we also have the locked gold coins and the locked jackpot symbols.
It's a definite must-play. The RTP is decent, and the graphics are great. The soundtrack is catchy, and the gameplay, while simple, is fun. We didn't lose too much in our playtime on the machine. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would play it again.
Bonus Rounds
Bonus rounds add that little bit of extra spice to any online slot. We want to see bonus rounds that offer two things: high excitement and big prizes. At Piggy Prizes Wand of Riches, there's just a single bonus, but it's an action-packed one - it's quality over quantity at this slot, and we approve. The prizes from the free spins are also significant, especially if you can land the Grand jackpot.
Jackpot Chances
There's no other way around it: most play slots to win big jackpots. So a slot without a decent top prize is severely lacking. Fortunately, Piggy Prizes Wand of Riches offers a nice jackpot of 1,000x your bet. It's not the largest around, especially compared to the eye-watering sizes of progressive prizes, but it's more than you'll be able to fit in the average piggy bank.
Theme
It might sound a little shallow, but the theme of a slot really does influence enjoyment levels. And the wacky theme of Piggy Prizes Wand of Riches, combining magicians and piggy banks, is certainly one of the more interesting features we've ever seen. We love that this theme goes a different direction, throwing shade to the repetitive theme choices of some providers and carving its own piggy-shaped niche in the market.
