How to play Smash The Pig mobile slot
IGT bring their much love land-based video slot to mobile, but will this Smash the Pig slot game be the same smash hit?
IGT have decades of slot machines in the back burner that they can turn into mobile phone slots anytime they want.
And one of those is this piggy game, which plays on the idea of having lots of cash, in a world where the coins have a piggy Abraham Lincoln, and smashing piggy banks.
This Smash the Pig slot hasn’t aged well
Whereas the NetEnt Piggy Riches slot took this theme and made it glamorous, this Smash The Pig mobile slot feels lacklustre in comparison.
A 5×3 reel slot, you’d expect something pretty exciting for a land-based game brought to the online world.
Yet there’s really very little to report. Granted, slot themes don’t always have to be exciting, if the game play is good.
Just ask the Cool Buck slot by Microgaming. But this isn’t it.
A Simple Smash The Pig bonus game
So what exciting free spins, multipliers, re-spins and wilds do we get?
None of the above.
Instead you have what amounts to a simple click me game when you get 3 or more pigs on screen.
You (that’s right) Smash The Pig to find out what you’ve won, with every pig smashed increasing your luck meter.
This luck meter is a mystery to us. We played for hours and could never get it to fill.
Apparently, if you get to smash enough Pigs and fill the meter, you’ll then get a horde of pigs to smash.
A pig hides about 1x to 20x your total bet
The problem is that without those pigs, you don’t get much more out of this IGT phone slot.
And maybe Vegas casino players get the simple charms of this Smash The Pig video slot, but honestly, we’re not sold.
There’s so many better looking games, with even simple bonus games, we’d rather play. The exclusive Fruit Spin slot by NetEnt for one, or even IGT’s Get Clucky for another.
This Smash the Pig mobile game is ok, just not good enough for anyone but hardcore fans.

In-game bonus features
Pay Both Ways: These 20 paylines pay from left to right and right to left. Which means more frequent wins, but generally nothing much more than your bet back.
Pick A Bonus and The Luck Meter: Get 3 pigs on screen and you'll get to pick from them to win a multiplier of up to 20x your line bet, smash all pigs, or end the round.
If you smash enough pigs, you fill the luck meter which allows you to smash even more pigs, till your luck runs out.
It just almost never happens.
Smash The Pig Review Conclusion
The original brick and mortar machine might have been something glorious when it was launched, but the Smash The Pig slot on mobile doesn't make us want to break open our piggy bank.
Mostly it's because the graphics and sounds are old fashioned, and doesn't really compare to so many other iPhone and Android slots on the market.
That said, it's not bad video slot game, it just doesn't thrill even with it's pays both way reels, with the likes of even the average Balloonies Farm having bigger top possible wins.
