Cash Pig Review: Living a Life of Luxury… or Just Spinning for It? My Take After 500+ Spins

Review Setup

I’ve played a lot of luxury-themed slots, but Cash Pig by Booming Games really leans into the glitz. Between the Ferraris and gold watches, it feels like spinning through a billionaire’s Instagram feed.

Booming Games already has a solid name in the industry, and this 5×4, 30-payline high-volatility slot definitely stands out. The promise of wins up to 8,000x caught my attention first, but I wanted to see if it actually delivered. Here’s what I found out:

First Impressions with Cash Pig

When I first opened Cash Pig, the jazzy soundtrack immediately caught my attention as it was a nice change from the usual generic music I hear in most slots. The visuals looked good, both on mobile and desktop.

After reading the paytable, I was curious about the Free Spins feature, especially how the Minor Elimination and Major Upgrade would play out. I triggered the bonus not long into my session and even picked up some extra free spins during the round.

It was great to watch the low symbols get cleared out, and that quickly became the part of the game I looked forward to the most.

Visuals and Presentation: 4 out of 5

Cash Pig definitely leans into the “luxury life” look, and overall, it pulls it off pretty well. The theme isn’t super original; there are plenty of money and wealth slots out there.

The high-paying symbols (like the red sports car, jet, and flashy diamond ring) are bold and detailed, while the diamond wild and champagne scatter add some nice sparkle without going overboard.

The background is simple but fits the style, and nothing ever felt too cluttered on the reels.

Here’s how I’d sum it up:

The Role of Sound: 4.5 out of 5

I usually end up muting slot games after a while, but Cash Pig was one of the rare exceptions; I kept the sound on the entire time.

The jazzy background music gave the game a nice Vegas vibe without being over-the-top, and it actually helped keep the mood upbeat during longer play sessions.

The reel spin and coin win sounds were clear without being annoying. I liked the subtle drama when a scatter landed, as it built just enough suspense without feeling forced.

The dramatic drum roll before a bonus feature was a nice touch, too. I felt no sound fatigue even after 500+ spins, which says a lot.

Gameplay Journey: 4 out of 5

The mobile and desktop versions ran without hiccups, and I had no trouble setting up my bet or using the autoplay feature. Most of my session felt steady, but the real excitement came during the bonus rounds.

On the desktop, I ran 300 auto spins at 1.5 per spin. After 250 spins, I finally triggered the Free Spins feature: 12 to start, with 6 more added twice during the round, giving me a total of 24 spins. I won $118.95, which was a solid return for the stake.

On mobile, I spun about 250 times with the same 1.5 bet. I didn’t hit any free spins during that session. Still, the smaller wins came often enough to keep things moving without feeling too repetitive.

• Mechanics: The game is intuitive to play, with a clean interface that works on mobile and desktop. I liked how easy it was to set spins and track progress. One minor gripe was the gold coin feature. The gold coins stack up with decent values, but you can only collect them if the piggy bank lands on reel 5. While I hit a few piggy banks and collected the cash in a few rounds, it never happened when the gold coins had higher values ($30+).
• Features: The Free Spins round was my favorite part. Once triggered, low-paying Royals are eliminated from the reels when they form winning combos, and high-paying symbols can get upgraded to golden versions that pay double. It’s a clever system that makes each spin in the bonus feel more rewarding.

Bonus Features Through My Eyes: 4.5 out of 5

Cash Pig doesn’t pack in a long list of bonus extras, but what it offers feels solid and delivers during play. The Free Spins round is where the action happens, but there’s also a cash collection feature in the base game that had potential.

The Free Spins trigger when you land three Scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5. I got 12 free spins to start and managed to retrigger the round twice for an extra six spins each time. That was more than enough to see how the two bonus mechanics inside this feature work.

The first is Minor Elimination. Anytime one of the low-paying symbols (10, J, Q, K, A) forms a win, those symbols get removed for the rest of the feature. The tiles drop down, giving more chances for combos, and those same low symbols won’t appear again during the bonus. It made each spin feel progressively more valuable as fewer fillers clogged the reels.

The second is Major Upgrade, which felt even more satisfying. When high-paying symbols like the ring, jet, or car form a win, they’re upgraded to golden versions and start paying double. Those upgrades stick around for the rest of the free spins, so there’s a real possibility of landing good hits.

There’s also the Cash Pig Collection feature in the base game, which revolves around the gold coin symbols. These coins can land on any reel and often come with surprisingly high values, but to collect them, you need to land the piggy bank symbol on reel 5.

Many truly valuable coins appeared on the reels, but the pig never showed up to claim them. It’s a great idea in theory, but it felt like a missed opportunity in practice, as I only managed to collect low amounts (up to $7.50).

Here’s a quick summary:

Balancing Risk and Reward: 3.5 out of 5

The game is listed as a high volatility slot with an RTP of 95.1%, but honestly, it didn’t feel all that volatile during my sessions. I expected long, dry spells between wins, but that wasn’t really the case at all. The longest I went without a win was maybe five spins in a row, which is surprisingly mild for something in the high-volatility category.

The real wins came from the Free Spins round. My biggest win came during one of those bonus rounds, and it gave the session some much-needed payoff after a fairly steady base game.

Where I felt the risk outweighed the reward was with the cash collect feature. I saw golden coins on the reels with decent values, sometimes over $80 even at low stakes, but without the piggy bank landing on reel 5, none of it counted.

It happened more than once, and it started to feel like I was being dangled a win that never actually came, like chasing a carrot on a stick. The volatility rating might be high on paper, but in my experience, the swings weren’t that extreme, which might be a plus or minus, depending on what you’re looking for.

The Good and Bad of Cash Pig

Final Thoughts on Cash Pig

Cash Pig mostly met my expectations, though it fell just short in a few areas. I went into it expecting a high-volatility slot, but the gameplay was more steady than I thought it would be, making it more approachable.

The Free Spins feature was the clear highlight for me, and the way it built momentum with symbol eliminations and upgrades made it worth sticking around for.

That said, the cash collect feature was the biggest letdown. Seeing big values land on the reels and not being able to collect them without the piggy bank on reel 5 started to wear thin after a while. It was a feature that promised a lot but didn’t deliver.
Would I play it again? Probably, but mainly for the Free Spins. That part of the game had enough depth and win potential to bring me back, even if the rest of the slot didn’t blow me away.

Final Score: 4 out of 5
