A pig in a tuxedo sips whisky while a tiara-wearing sow admires her diamonds, and over it all drifts a crackly, old-fashioned lounge tune, the sort of ballroom music you might hear in a grand hotel lobby a century ago. Piggy Pop Grand Affair 2 is a PopWins slot from AvatarUX set at a lavish mansion party, the glossier sequel to the original Grand Affair that lifts the top win from 5,000x all the way to 15,000x. Every win pops the symbols and grows the reels taller, and the night only really gets going once the piggy bank bursts into the bonus.
Wins here pay by ways, not lines, and the grid refuses to sit still. Every winning symbol pops and makes room for two new ones, which grows the reels taller and multiplies the ways to win, the counter in the corner ticking up the instant it happens. The board starts at five reels three high for 243 ways and can climb to 5×6 in standard play, with a lost spin dropping it back to the start. A single run of wins can rebuild the board several times before it pays out.
A stacked Super High piggy can drop in the main game carrying a multiplier from 1x to 50x. As long as it stays vertically connected to the piggy at the bottom of the reel, that figure collects onto the bottom cell, and it can be collected several times over before the round ends, when the total is applied to your stake. If the stack never reaches the bottom, it pays nothing, so there is a catch to the climb.
Scatters drop into a single piggy bank pot rather than counting per spin, and that pot can burst at any moment to throw you into the bonus; landing three scatters in one spin opens it directly too. The bonus is a Hold and Win respin round where coin symbols and Boosters fill a board that can expand to 5×9. Fully expanding a reel arms a x2 at its top that doubles every coin on it at the end, and filling the whole board doubles the total again.
The Boosters are what make or break a bonus, and six of them can land.
Three routes skip the wait through the XPress menu.
Matching symbols pay as ways, three or more of a kind on adjacent reels from the left, and the more rows a reel has grown the more ways are in play. That is why the win counter swings from 243 toward the thousands as the reels pop upward, each new row multiplying the combinations. Five of a kind pays from one side only, and separate way-wins are added together. Stakes run from €0.10 to €300, and the demo opens the buys and the Ante Bet for free play.
This plays at high volatility, with a top win of 15,000x the bet. The base return is 96.10%, and the feature routes read a touch higher, the Bonus at 96.25%, the Ante at 96.15% and the Bonus Max at 96.53%, all set out in the in-game paytable.
Symbol values are shown as a multiple of the bet for three, four or five of a kind on the ways. As ever with a game like this, the headline figures live in the bonus, not the base symbols.

Piggy Pop Grand Affair 2 earns a 3.8, a fun, good-looking PopWins game whose verdict swings almost entirely on one thing: which Boosters turn up in the bonus. The base game is a delight, the reels popping and growing on nearly every spin, but the wins there are small by design and the real money waits in the Hold and Win round. Land the right Boosters, the Persistent Adder above all, preferably with a Life symbol to keep the respins coming, and a bonus can run away to four figures; land the weak ones and the same buy can fizzle. The ceiling is high and the main game is a real pleasure, which is what keeps the score up despite that reliance on luck.
The PopWins base round is the easy highlight, the reels rebuilding themselves as symbols pop and the ways count vaulting from 243 into the thousands, a loop that stays satisfying even between features. It looks and sounds the part too, a mansion of tuxedoed pigs in bright, glossy cartoon art, set to an elegant, old-world lounge tune. And when the bonus aligns, the potential is real, our best Bonus Max round snowballing to 1,056x once a pair of Persistent Adders got to work on a board full of coins.
That bonus is a lottery of Boosters, though. A naturally triggered round paid us a flat 4.5x, and a 200x Bonus Max buy came back at just 28.6x, less than a cheaper Bonus had returned, because the powerful modifiers never showed. The good rounds depend on drawing the Persistent Adder or a clutch of Collectors and on the respins lasting, and when neither happens, an expensive buy can land well short.
Piggy Pop Grand Affair 2 throws its party in a marble mansion, all chandeliers, flowers and old-money glamour, where tuxedoed pigs and tiara-topped sows sip whisky and flash diamonds. A little gold piggy on a pedestal to the left of the reels oinks along with the wins and shakes its head when you land one or two bonus pigs short of the three you need.
What ties it together is the music, a crackly lounge tune with a real old-world feel, the kind of antique ballroom sound you would hear drifting through a grand hotel lobby. As a sequel, it keeps the original’s mansion and its PopWins core, then makes everything bigger, a taller bonus board, a deeper set of Boosters and a top win three times the size.
If you have not played the original or are not familiar with AvatarUX slots, the main game can be a surprise. Most slots treat the reels as a fixed frame, but here every win pops its symbols and stacks two more in their place, so a good sequence keeps building the grid taller and the ways higher, the counter racing upward as it goes. We saw the reel-expansion multiplier kick in a couple of times when a reel hit full height, and a stacked Super High piggy slid its multiplier down to the bottom cell more than once. It is an unusual way to run standard play, and on some spins we enjoyed it more than the bonus.
The Hold and Win bonus is the headline, and it is where the night turns into a gamble. Our first one triggered naturally after a few minutes and fell flat, five respins for a thin €4.50. A €60 buy went better, unlocking the Persistent Adder, which tops a random coin by up to 10x every respin, alongside the Multiplier Cloner, which doubles a coin and copies itself into it; with the reels expanding and the Adder ticking away, that round built to €39.50. Useful, if hardly grand.
Our Bonus Max buys, at €200 for the full 5×9 board, told the real story of this game twice over. Much like the regular spins, our first attempt was a let-down. A Multiplier Cloner early and late, and a closing x2 that still only reached €28.60, less than the cheaper round had paid. The second was the opposite, a long run of respins that stacked up two Multiplier Cloners, two Collectors and an Adder Cloner that copied a Persistent Adder, so two of them were boosting coins at once. A 250x coin landed into all that and kept growing, and the round closed at €1,056.40. Same buy, same price, wildly different nights.
That is the deal Piggy Pop Grand Affair 2 offers. The standard game is good enough to enjoy on its own, which softens the wait, but the bonus only truly delivers when the strong Boosters land and the respins keep coming, and which ones turn up is never yours to choose. When it clicks, the top end is high, and the climb is a real spectacle, and even after a couple of flat rounds, we were happy to load it up again. For all the luck involved, the potential and the popping reels make it one we would come back to.
