About Game

Piggy Payout Overview

Look up Piggy Payout, and you’ll be told it pays 5,000x. The number is real, and it is there beside the cow in Eyecon’s rules. It just isn’t a maximum win. This farm counts in two units, because line wins are multiplied by the wager per payline while scatter wins are multiplied by the total wager, and with 25 lines running, those are very different things. Share the cow’s 5,000 across those lines, and its five-symbol row comes to 200x your total bet, the largest single figure the demo can hand you. Get that split straight, and everything else on this farm follows from it.

What’s in the Demo

The Windmill’s Two Reels

The Windmill stands in for every symbol except the two scatters, and it only appears on reels 2 and 4. That restriction matters more than it sounds. Lines pay from the left, so the substitute can never start a win on reel 1 or close one on reel 5. It fills the middle, or it does nothing for you. When it does complete a line, that line’s prize is doubled, and that is the only multiplier the farm offers outside its feature.

A five-cow row built with Windmills on the second and fourth reels is worth twice a clean one, which is the realistic route to the top row of the table for most players. You get no say in any of it. No setting moves the substitute, and no bet level widens its reels. The rest of the symbol set is plain 3D farm art, cartoon-bright and entirely unbothered by 2026 fashion.

Sheep and the Prize Pick

Three or more Sheep anywhere on the reels open the Prize Pick, and the trigger decides how big it gets. You take one pick for every Sheep in the combination; each pick can award up to 100x the total wager, and the awards are added together before the reels come back. Three Sheep is the common version, and five is the rare one, and the gap between them is two extra picks rather than a richer top award.

The odd part is the labelling. Eyecon’s rules caption the Sheep as a scatter and the Pig as a scatter, so the demo runs two scatter symbols doing separate jobs, and plenty of write-ups elsewhere only ever mention one of them. Eyecon also licenses a progressive version of this farm called Piggy Payout Jackpot, which is a separate game rather than a setting you can switch on in here. The studio’s other demos are collected on our Eyecon page, and this one has been in its catalogue since 2016.

The Pig’s Second Job

Prizes double while the free games run, line wins, and scatter wins alike, and the doubling is the whole of the feature. No extra reel, no upgraded symbol, no separate table of values. A trio of Pigs opens 15 free games, four open 20, and five open 25, with nothing to set before they run, since the bet and the 25 lines carry over from the spin that earned them, and the round can be retriggered up to 15 times.

The Pig is a paying symbol on its own terms too. Two of them anywhere return 2x the total wager; three, 5x; four, 20x; and five, 100x, with the highest scatter win added to whatever the lines have made. That makes the symbol that sends you into the feature the second-best individual payer on the paytable, which is not how these classics usually work. Whether doubled prizes across 25 free games beat a tripled round half the length is exactly the sum this game leaves you to do.

How to Play

Lines and Tap Targets

The lines counter opens at 25 with its up arrow greyed out, which tells you where the maximum is before you touch anything. Beside it, a second counter sets the wager per line, and what you are staking is those two numbers multiplied together. Both counters carry up and down arrows with a single MAX button underneath, so on a phone or a tablet the entire bet is four tap targets and two shortcuts.

The rest of the HUD is as bare as the field behind it. Sound, the coin stack that opens the bet panel, the spin button, and a question mark for the rules, and nothing else. There is no turbo control and no autoplay in this shell, so every spin is a deliberate tap. Wins read from reel 1 rightwards along whichever of the 25 line diagrams they follow, only the highest win on each line counts, and wins on separate lines are added, so a good result here is usually several small rows at once rather than one long one.

Bet Range and Return

The RTP is 94.998%, which the rules provide in full rather than rounding. What they never give is a maximum win. Eyecon publishes none for this game and nothing in the demo suggests one, so the two limits it does set are the cow’s top line and the cap on a single Prize Pick award. Past those, a round simply ends when the free games run out, and the total is added up.

If you have been reading a 5,000x figure elsewhere, that is the cow’s row in per-line units, and the conversion is the one Eyecon’s own pay rules describe. Farm slots on the site take the barnyard in other directions, Boom Farm among them, and few of them set their units out this openly.

Game Paytable

Piggy Payout help screen showing the Pig scatter pays and the start of the line wins grid
The scatter block spells out in one line, “Scatter wins are multiplied by the total wager”, so the Pig’s 100x for five is already a total-bet figure while the cow’s 5,000 underneath it is a per-line one.

Four symbols pay from two matching icons: the cow, the dog, the rooster, and the corn, and everything from the sunflower down needs three before it returns anything. The ladder is steep at the top and flat underneath. The cow’s five-symbol row is worth five times the dog’s, whereas the four card ranks are separated by a rounding error. The line pays below are given as multiples of your total bet, converted from the per-line figures used by the rules. The Pig’s scatter pays have a table of their own, because the rules already count those against the total wager.

Symbol 2 3 4 5
Cow 0.2x 1x 20x 200x
Dog 0.2x 1.2x 4x 40x
Rooster 0.08x 0.8x 3x 20x
Corn 0.08x 0.8x 3x 20x

Ultimate Slots Verdict

The cow's 5,000 is a line pay in per-line units rather than a maximum, and once you know that, the farm reads exactly as it plays. Windmill on two reels, doubled free games, medium in every direction.

3/5 Good

What We Like

  • The rules give both pay units in full, so the 5,000 beside the cow can be worked out instead of guessed at
  • Two scatter symbols with separate jobs give the reels two things to chase at once
  • Prize Pick awards stack, one pick per Sheep, and every award is added to the last
  • The Pig pays from two symbols anywhere, so the trigger symbol is worth something on its way past
  • 94.998% is the higher of the two settings Eyecon licenses, and the demo runs it

What Could Be Better

  • No maximum win is published anywhere, so there is no target to play towards
  • The Windmill lands on reels 2 and 4 only, keeping the substitute off the two reels that start and finish a line
  • Free games double prizes whereas much of Eyecon's classic line triples them

Detailed Review

Piggy Payout Review

Set this one beside the rest of Eyecon’s classic catalogue, and the farm is the least distinctive thing about it. The studio has been drawing cartoon animals in this style since the 2000s, and the cow, the dog, and the rooster could be lifted into three other titles without anybody noticing. What sets it apart is the way its rules are written, and the misreading that has followed the game ever since.

Having two pay units in one help document is unusual, and Eyecon commits to both. Line wins count against the wager per payline, scatter wins against the total wager, and the cow’s 5,000 therefore describes something far smaller than it looks. Any review of this slot carrying a 5,000x maximum has skipped that sentence, and the Pig’s own pays are the proof, because they are written in the other unit on the same screen.

In free play, the medium read holds up. Small card rows arrive often enough to keep the credit ticking, the Windmill appears on two reels and doubles whatever it touches, and the two scatters give you two separate things to half-watch for. The deflation is built into that second part. A Sheep on reel 5 with two more nowhere near it is the most common near-thing here, and the game makes no fuss about it, which is politer than most.

Doubled prizes rather than tripled ones keep the whole thing gentle, and a 94.998% return is not a figure that argues otherwise. If you like a classic where you can see how every number is built, this one shows its working, and 3 Builder Piggies is the livelier pig-fronted demo to line up next. Just don’t arrive expecting the 5,000x the rest of the web has promised you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Because 5,000 is the cow's five-symbol line pay as the rules give it, and line pays are counted against the wager per payline rather than the total bet. Divide it across the 25 lines, and the cow's top row comes to 200x your total bet. No maximum win is published for the game, so that line is the largest single figure the game offers.
They use the same chassis. The studio builds several of its classics around one structure, where 3, 4, or 5 scatters award 15, 20, or 25 free games and the round can be retriggered up to 15 times, so the counts line up across the range. The difference here is the multiplier attached to those games, which doubles prizes whereas the better-known members of that family triple them.
The demo runs the build whose rules state 94.998%. Piggy Payout is licensed in two settings, marketed as 93% or 95%, and the operator decides which one it deploys, so the figure quoted elsewhere may be the lower of the pair. The version here is the higher one.
The Sheep runs the Prize Pick. Three or more anywhere award one pick each, and a pick can return up to 100x the total wager. The Pig runs the free games and pays on its own account, 2x for two symbols rising to 100x for five, with only the highest scatter win added to the line wins.
