Piggyfest Bonanza
demo and specs

Piggyfest Bonanza is a video slot from Evoplay built around a beer-hall Oktoberfest theme and a Hold and Win core mechanic. The grid is 5 reels by 3 rows and wins pay across 20 paylines. Evoplay lists the release date as 15 September 2026.

The headline numbers line up neatly. The RTP is 96.02%, the volatility is graded high-medium, and the maximum win is 6,000x the stake. Stakes run from 0.10 to 100 per spin, a spread wide enough to suit very different bankrolls.

96.02% RTP, 6,000x top prize, 20 lines and one Hold and Win mechanic.

It is aimed at players who like the hold-and-win format and are comfortable with a high-medium swing. It is not built for anyone who wants a steady drip of small returns with few quiet stretches.

The Oktoberfest setting is a light, festive skin over the mechanic. It sets the tone, but the spec sheet is what decides whether the game suits you.

Evoplay has published the RTP, volatility, maximum win, grid, paylines, stated hit rate and bet range. The inner workings of the Hold and Win round are not published, and this page is updated when the studio releases them.

The RTP of 96.02% sits 0.02 percentage points above the rough 96% UK average. That is not a meaningful edge, so treat it as an average-return slot. For every £100 staked, the theoretical return is £96.02 and the theoretical cost is £3.98.

Spread that over a long session and the figures are easy to scale. At a 0.10 stake, 1,000 spins puts £100 through the game and theory returns £96.02. At £1 a spin, 1,000 spins stakes £1,000 and returns £960.20 in theory. At £10 a spin, 100 spins stakes £1,000 for the same £960.20.

Those are long-run figures. A single session at high-medium volatility will normally land well away from them, in either direction. The RTP tells you the long-run cost of playing, not what the next hundred spins will do.

High-medium volatility means you should expect stretches where returns are small or absent, with the larger payouts concentrated in the feature. How the RTP splits between the base game and the Hold and Win round is not published, so it is not possible to say how much of the 96.02% sits in each.

Evoplay states a hit rate of 17.37%. That is the studio's figure, not one measured by this site. It works out at roughly one spin in 5.8 returning something, which also means about 82.6 of every 100 spins return nothing.

Set beside the volatility grade, a hit rate in that region suggests many of the wins are modest, with the weight of the return carried by rarer, bigger outcomes. The studio has not published the split, so that remains an inference from the two headline figures.

The maximum win is 6,000x the stake. At the 0.10 minimum stake that is £600. At the 100 maximum stake it is £600,000. In between, £1 a spin tops out at £6,000 and £10 a spin at £60,000. The odds of reaching the ceiling are not published.

The published specs name one core mechanic and a handful of fixed parameters, so the list below stays close to what is known:

• Hold and Win: a respin-style bonus where special symbols generally lock in place while a limited number of respins play out, with the round ending when the respins run out.
• 20 paylines on a 5-reel, 3-row grid: the base game pays line wins, and this is where most spins are played between bonus rounds.
• Oktoberfest theme: the festive setting frames the symbols and sound, while the payout structure comes from the mechanic rather than the theme.
• 6,000x maximum win: the published ceiling on the game, which is the figure every feature has to fit beneath.

Evoplay has not published how the Hold and Win round is triggered, how many respins it awards, how the locked symbols are valued, or whether it carries jackpot tiers. It has also not published the symbol set or any extra features. This page is updated when the studio publishes those details. No feature buy is listed in the published specs.

The base game is a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 20 paylines. Wins pay along the lines, and with a stated hit rate of 17.37% a return should arrive roughly one spin in six. The rest of the time you are waiting on the Hold and Win round, which is where the game's larger payouts are expected to come from.

Stakes run from 0.10 to 100 per spin. At 0.10, 1,000 spins costs £100 at the stake, which suits cautious play and long, low-cost sessions. At 100, ten spins costs £1,000, a range for deep bankrolls only.

For a high-medium slot, bankroll matters more than usual. A £100 balance at £1 a spin covers about 100 spins, which is not many when returns can dry up. Dropping the stake to 0.50 or 0.20 gives the same money more spins to reach the feature.

The game is built for mobile as standard, so the grid and controls are designed for a phone screen. The UK build rules apply on a phone exactly as on desktop: no autoplay, no turbo or quick spins, and reality checks and net-position displays during play.

Among Hold and Win slots, Piggyfest Bonanza sits in the middle of the field, leaning to the modest side on the ceiling. The 6,000x top prize is smaller than the very largest in the category. High-medium volatility is also riskier than the steadier titles, but gentler than the harshest ones.

That is the trade the ceiling buys. A bigger ceiling usually means the large wins are rarer and the quiet stretches longer. A smaller one means the extremes are less extreme: you give up the headline prize in return for a game that is somewhat easier to live with session to session.

It is a decent fit for a player who wants hold-and-win thrills without committing to the most punishing swings in the category. It is a poor fit for anyone chasing the biggest possible multiplier. The similar-slots table below shows the real comparison figures, so judge it against those rather than against this page's words.

It suits these player types:

• Hold and Win fans who want a festive theme and a mid-sized 6,000x ceiling rather than an extreme one.
• Players who are comfortable with high-medium swings and have a bankroll that can absorb a dry stretch.
• Low-stake players who like the 0.10 minimum, which gives a long session at modest cost.
• Anyone who wants to try the game on play money first, to see how the 20-line base game and the feature feel.

Players who should skip it include anyone wanting a very large top prize, anyone who prefers frequent small returns with few dry spells, and anyone who needs full feature detail before they play, since the Hold and Win specifics are not yet published.
