Piggy Bank Bonus Buy: 7 Tips, 30x to 200x
In short: Piggy Bank Hold&Win prices three ways into its bonus round: Piggy Surprise at 30x the bet, Piggy Trio at 60x and Piggy Frenzy at 200x. Piggy Trio carries the best published return of the three, 97.02% against 96.98% at stake price.
Two hundred stakes up front is what the priciest door into the Hold & Win round costs, and it shifts the published return by a single hundredth of a percentage point. The other two doors cost 30x and 60x the bet.

Read the Price as a Multiple
The three doors cost 30x, 60x, 200x the bet, so the cash figure on a card moves every time the stake moves. At 0.10 Piggy Frenzy costs 20.00. At 1.00 it costs 200.00.
Pick Piggy Trio if You Buy at All
Piggy Trio costs 60x and returns 97.02%, the highest published figure on this game. Piggy Surprise matches an unbought spin at 96.98%. Piggy Frenzy sits at 96.99% for more than three times Trio's price.
Clear a Sticky Coin Before You Buy
A Sticky Coin is worth between five and nine stakes. The rules keep it outside a purchased round, where it waits on the reels until that round ends.
Read the Return Inside Your Own Client
Open the rules and scroll to Return to Player. The build we played printed 96.98% overall, with the three buy figures listed under it. Another build can print something else.
Set the Stake Before the Menu Opens
The buy window carries its own stake control, and the three prices follow it on the spot. Eighteen steps run from 0.10 to 100.00, though the client never prints that range anywhere.
Keep the Ceiling Separate from the Jackpot
The maximum win is 2,500x the bet on every door. No purchase raises it. The Royal Jackpot sitting under that cap pays 2000x, needing all fifteen cells of the stretched grid.
Skip the Purchase if None of This Fits
Buying changes the shape of a round rather than the edge: 3.02% held without one against 2.98% at the very best. If the guaranteed EXTEND and the shot at Royal mean nothing to you, a plain spin costs one stake instead of sixty.
Three Doors into the Bonus, and What Each Costs
Three doors lead into the same bonus round, priced 30x, 60x, 200x the bet, differing only in how much certainty they buy. The pink snout to the right of the grid opens a window headed BUY FEATURES. Three cards sit side by side, each naming a door, each printing its price.
We opened that window on with the stake pinned to a single unit. The prices read 30.00, 60.00, 200.00. We then checked them against the game server's settings response, which returns 300, 600, 2000 against a base bet of 10. Screen and server agree: thirty, sixty, two hundred stakes.
Price follows stake, so those cash figures shift. At the 0.10 floor the same three doors cost 3.00, 6.00, 20.00. In the free demo the units are play money called FUN; at a Canadian casino the same stake arrives in CAD.
Piggy Surprise is the cheapest at 30x, buying the least certainty: the rules say it activates one to three piggies at random. Piggy Trio costs 60x, guaranteeing all three. Piggy Frenzy costs 200x, guarantees the same three, then adds a multiplier to every spin of the round. That is the whole menu. The client prices nothing else.
What a Guaranteed Piggy Changes
A guaranteed piggy changes the shape of a round, not the arithmetic underneath it. Green SAVE refills the respin counter to three each time it empties. Pink X-SHOOT fires a multiplier of 1x to 8x at a coin during the final count. Blue EXTEND stretches the grid from three by three to three by five, though filling those fifteen cells is still down to the reels.

EXTEND is the one worth paying for, though no card on the buy screen says so. The Royal Jackpot pays 2000x the stake, landing only when every cell of the stretched grid fills up, so a round lacking EXTEND stays out of reach of it. A triggered round may switch EXTEND on by itself, since the piggies activate at random. Buying Piggy Trio or Piggy Frenzy is the only way to make that certain.
The table below splits what the money moves from what it leaves exactly where it was.
| What | Does buying move it | The figure |
|---|---|---|
| Which piggies activate | Yes, on Trio or Frenzy | All three, instead of one to three at random |
| A guaranteed route to Royal | Yes, by way of EXTEND | The stretched 3x5 grid, worth 2000x when filled |
| The published return | Barely | 97.02% at best, against 96.98% without a purchase |
| What the house keeps | Barely | 2.98% at best, against 3.02% |
| The win ceiling | No | 2,500x the bet, on every door |
| A Sticky Coin already held | Yes, against the player | That 5x coin or better stays outside the purchased round |
Read on ; the maker can change a screen without saying so.
The Hold Barely Moves
The hold barely moves across the three doors. Two of them sit above a plain spin rather than one. The rules screen prints the numbers that show it, though the buy cards themselves stay quiet about return. Piggy Surprise returns 96.98%, matching the base game exactly, though it costs thirty stakes to reach. Piggy Trio returns 97.02%. Piggy Frenzy returns 96.99%, a hundredth of a point above the base game and three hundredths below Trio.

Turn those into the hold; the gap narrows further. An unbought spin holds 3.02% of the stake. The best door on the list holds 2.98%. Four hundredths separate them, which is the entire effect a purchase has on the maths.
We do not recommend Piggy Frenzy at 200x the bet. It returns 96.99%, three hundredths of a point lower than Piggy Trio at 60x, so the extra 140 stakes buy a worse figure than the cheaper door does. What the money buys instead is a multiplier on each spin inside the round, which shifts variance rather than value.
| Door | Price | Published return | House hold | What it guarantees |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| An ordinary spin | the stake | 96.98% | 3.02% | Nothing; the round still has to trigger |
| Piggy Surprise | 30x the bet | 96.98% | 3.02% | Between one and three piggies, chosen at random |
| Piggy Trio | 60x the bet | 97.02% | 2.98% | All three piggies |
| Piggy Frenzy | 200x the bet | 96.99% | 3.01% | All three piggies, plus a multiplier every spin |
Trio is the door we'd pick, because it carries the highest published figure on the game, costing a third of what Frenzy asks.
What 122 Spins Said About the Round
Our own run suggests round length is a poor guide to what a round pays. We logged 122 paid spins at a 1.00 stake across 13-, reaching seven bonus rounds, none of them bought. The longest ran sixteen respins, paying 9.60. The shortest ran three, paying 10.80.

| Round | Respins it ran | Paid at one unit staked | In stakes |
|---|---|---|---|
| First | 10 | 10.20 | 10.2x |
| Second | 7 | 15.40 | 15.4x |
| Third | 3 | 10.80 | 10.8x |
| Fourth | 16 | 9.60 | 9.6x |
| Fifth | 13 | 13.80 | 13.8x |
| Sixth | 8 | 31.20 | 31.2x |
| Seventh | 8 | 9.60 | 9.6x |
Those seven rounds returned 100.60 against 122.00 staked, so the evening closed 21.40 down at 82.5%. Call that noise, not a measurement. Seven rounds is a sample in the loosest sense of the word. A run of 122 spins says little that is dependable about a figure BGaming models over a long horizon, which is why every return quoted on this page comes off a screen rather than out of our spreadsheet.
The Sticky Coin a Buy Leaves Behind
A buy leaves a Sticky Coin behind rather than carrying it into the round. The rules spell that condition out. The coin carries 5x to 9x the bet, lands only on a paid spin, sticks where it fell, then travels into any round that triggers normally. Buy a round instead: the coin waits outside, returning to the reels once the bought round finishes.
So the cheap moment to buy is a clean screen.
Catching a 9x Sticky Coin, then paying 60 stakes for a round it cannot enter, is the one sequence on this game that pays for the same coin twice over.
When the Buy Button Is Missing
The buy button goes missing where licence requirements take it out, and BGaming prints that reason itself. BGaming prints the reason in its own rules: "The purchase features can be unavailable in the game because of the requirements of the license that regulates the operator's work." Those are the studio's words, quoted whole.
Whether a Canadian player meets that button is not confirmed here. We read the rules, the buy screen, the server response, all inside the free demo, where three doors sit live. We built no operator files for this game, so this page stays silent on what any particular lobby shows.

What Else Do Readers Ask?
Most of what readers ask here is arithmetic: what each door costs, what it returns, and whether the expensive one earns the gap. Every figure below came off the BUY FEATURES screen and the rules screen inside the maker's own free demo.
Can the bonus round be bought everywhere?
No. BGaming's rules say purchase features can be unavailable because of the licence that regulates an operator's work.
Does buying guarantee a Royal Jackpot?
No. Royal needs every cell of a 3x5 grid filled, so a purchase guarantees the blue EXTEND piggy and nothing beyond it.
What does Piggy Frenzy cost at the smallest stake?
Two hundred times the bet, so 20.00 at the 0.10 minimum. The multiplier holds at every step of the ladder.
Which door is the cheapest?
Piggy Surprise at 30x the bet, which switches on between one and three piggies at random rather than all three.
Does the game show the odds of its 2,500x ceiling?
No. The game server computes them as 1 in 44,731,998, and a licence setting keeps that line off the rules screen.
How do we test a bonus buy?
We opened BUY FEATURES in the maker's free demo on , read each price at a 1.00 stake and checked them against the game server.
Can a purchased round end with an empty board?
Yes. It still runs on three respins, and an empty spin takes one away, so a thin board is possible.
Does Piggy Frenzy pay more than Piggy Trio?
No, not on the published figures. Frenzy returns 96.99% against 97.02% for Trio, at more than three times the price.
Does a bought round cost anything once it starts?
No. The stake leaves the balance once at the Buy button. The round then runs on respins with nothing further deducted.
