ICONIC21 Lights Up the Night with Las Piggas

Published

iconic21-lights-up-the-night-with-las-piggas

Essential content provider launches new title aimed at enhancing engagement, increasing session durations, and generating higher operator revenue with an entertaining theme and captivating gameplay.

The Piggies are hitting The Strip in the newest blockbuster slot game from sought-after iGaming content creator, ICONIC21.

Las Piggas revolves around neon lights, velvet ropes, and three unique pig characters – Elvis Pig, Marilyn Pig, and Cowboy Pig, all of whom aspire to strike it rich in the City of Sin.

Integrating an advanced 6×4 game grid, a 4,096 ways engine, and a vibrant Vegas style, Las Piggas aims to attract both casual gamers and dedicated high stakes players.

In Las Piggas, gamers are taken to the center of the Strip where the piggie heroes are enjoying life to the fullest.

The main gameplay centers on the dual-end Collect system – in contrast to typical collection slots, Las Piggas includes Collect symbols on reels one and six, increasing the chances for players to gather Coin symbols that have Multiplier values reaching 5,000x the wager.

Central to the player experience are the three pig characters – Elvis Pig, Marilyn Pig, and Cowboy Pig, which rest above the reels.

When Pig Coins fall, they are collected by their respective character, activating a perceived ongoing growth mechanism.

When the Bonus Game starts, players receive eight Free Spins with special modifiers depending on the pig that activated the round.

Elvis Pig – Reels two and five become synchronised. With each spin, two, three, or four adjacent reels may also synchronise, allowing massive 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4 Coin symbols to land.

Marilyn Pig – A win Multiplier is awarded with all wins and Coins boosted by 3x.

Cowboy Pig – An additional eight Spins are awarded to the Bonus Game.

To enhance Max Win potential, various features can function together at once, resulting in a Super Bonus where all character skills are engaged simultaneously.

In the Bonus Game, the values of all Coin symbols are accumulated in the Bonus Pot. After the round concludes, a Bonus Spin occurs where a 4×4 Mega Coin symbol displaying the entire Bonus Pot value appears on reels two through five.

To obtain the Bonus Pot, at least one Collect symbol needs to appear on either reel one or reel six. Once collected, the Mega Coin value contributes to the overall win – if the Mega Coin appears on reels one and two, the Bonus Pot value is increased twofold. Oink!

Edvardas Sadovskis, CPO at ICONIC21, said: “Las Piggas is all about player enjoyment and pure entertainment. We wanted to create a game that feels exciting from the very first spin — combining a popular 4,096-ways format with three distinctive bonus experiences, all wrapped in the iconic neon energy of Las Vegas.

The pig characters aren’t just visuals; they each bring their own personality and bonus style, giving players different ways to experience the game every time they trigger a round. Whether it’s the synchronised reels, boosted multipliers, or extended spins, Las Piggas delivers variety, anticipation and big-win potential in a theme that feels instantly recognizable and fun.

At the heart of it, this game was designed to make players smile, stay engaged, and feel the thrill of Vegas with every spin.”
