Yggdrasil launches 3 Piggies of Bank featuring new Lock’em & Load’em™ mechanic

Yggdrasil, the fast-growing slot developer, has launched 3 Piggies of Bank, a new game inspired by the classic tale.

The game features a 5x3 reel layout with three different Bank features: Collect, Double and Mystery, each offering a unique bonus experience.

3 Piggies of Bank introduces Yggdrasil’s latest Game Engagement Mechanic (GEM), Lock’em & Load’em™, a bonus mechanic where special Coin symbols lock in place while players receive a set number of respins to land additional Coins and build their prize.

The feature starts with five respins, resetting with every new Coin, and ends when the respins run out or the grid is filled. All Coin values are then combined for the final win.  Players can also trigger one of four special prizes during the bonus round (Mini, Minor, Major and Grand) offering prizes of 15 up to €1,000.

During the base game, Mama Pig makes an appearance as an Expanding Wild symbol, unlocking additional winning combinations. 
Alongside the reels, the Blow It Down symbol can trigger the Free Spins feature. Landing three or more symbols awards up to 10 Free Spins, with the possibility of retriggering the feature.

Jose Kadala, Chief Commercial Officer at Yggdrasil, said: “We wanted to give this familiar theme 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.”
