Fast-growing slot developer Yggdrasil has launched 3 Piggies of Bank, a new slot game inspired by the classic tale of The Three Little Pigs. This new telling, however, adds a financial aspect to the story, representing Mamma Pig as a rich banker ready to invest in her kids’ real estate endeavors.

A Classic Retold
The original tale of The Three Little Pigs tells a story of three characters being sent out into the world by their mother. One builds a house out of straw, the second builds a house out of sticks, and the third builds a house out of bricks. The first two houses are then quickly taken down by the bad wolf, but the final one survives the evildoer’s attempt to blow it down.
In Yggdrasil’s retelling, Mamma Pig is a rich banker who readily invests in her sons’ projects. Appearing as the game’s Wild symbol, Mamma Pig can expand to cover the entire reel, making payouts much easier to score.
The banking aspect of this title is represented in the symbols, which feature Coins with both the wolf and the three little pigs. Other symbols include safes, stacks of gold and silver bars, and piles of cash.
Piggie Coins Can Make Players Richer
The Piggie Coin symbols in particular are linked to three separate Bank features: Collect, Double, and Mystery. When players land at least 6 Wolf Coin symbols alongside a Piggie Coin, the Lock’em & Load’em bonus game starts and the coin’s respective feature is triggered.
Lock’em & Load’em is a bonus game where players start with 5 spins and can only collect coins. Each coin resets the spin count to 5. Filling up the entire grid instantly awards a 1,000x Major Jackpot prize.
During the Collect version of the bonus round, each Collect Piggie Coin receives a value that is the sum of all other coins on the board. The Double feature, on the other hand, multiplies the values of all Coin symbols whenever a Double Piggie Coin lands. The Piggie Coin that triggers the feature, on the other hand, receives a value of up to 150x. The Mystery feature, meanwhile, gives Piggie Coins multipliers of up to 150x.
The Lock’em & Load’em also features Wolf Coins that can immediately award a Mini (50X), Minor (200x), or Major (1,000x) jackpot.
In addition to the Lock’em & Load’em bonus game, 3 Piggies of Bank also boasts a regular Free Spins mode that is triggered when players land 3 Scatter Symbols.
A Game with a “Very Yggdrasil Twist”
Jose Kadala, Yggdrasil’s chief commercial officer, commented on the release, saying that his team wanted to give a familiar tale what he called a “very Yggdrasil twist.”
The characters, visual identity, humor and, most importantly, the gameplay have all been designed to feel distinctly Yggdrasil. The aim was to create something players instantly understand but then give them a fresh and unexpected experience once they start playing.
