Piggy Smash offers the potential of a cash prize with each bet, or the chance to trigger exciting features which grant even bigger riches. Players can step into the vault and test their luck as they bring down the hammer on small piggy banks, smashing them open for lucrative rewards.

The release marks a significant development for Gaming Corps, as it is the supplier’s first title to offer it’s brand new Smash4Cash mechanic, bringing new gaming experiences to the online casino world. In this game players Smash Piggy Banks for Cash!

The Piggy is laid out in the in the middle of the game screen, with two racks on either side of the active Piggy each holding four balls. This allows players to see the upcoming winning potentials and makes triggering the Bonus features that much more exciting when you know what potential wins are lined up and ready for the player to look forward to.

With each wager made, players make an attempt to smash the active Piggy. Should the Piggy be smashed, then an instant prize will be awarded, with additional features and multipliers also potentially being unlocked. After a Piggy has been smashed, one of the other four balls will be dropped from the rack, transforming to become the active Piggy.

Among the additional features is Rampage Mode, where the Hammer automatically attempts to smash the Piggies until it fails; at least two Piggies will be smashed in each Rampage. The additional features also include Instant Win, where the game will randomly choose and award a prize of either 10x, 25x, 100x or 1,000x the wager.

Players can also unlock the Multiplier feature when a Piggy is smashed, which will be applied to the payout of the next Piggy to be smashed. The next Piggy will automatically be made active in the same wager and is a guaranteed Smash4Cash prize.

The game also brings the Multiplier Rampage feature, which is a combination of the Multiplier and Rampage features. During this feature, all smashed Piggies will have their payout prizes multiplied by the awarded multiplier at the start of the feature.

Piggy Smash is the latest in a long line of recent game releases from Gaming Corps, and follows the launch of other takes on the Arcade genre such as Plinkgoal and Prospector’s Plinko.

Connor Blinman Head of Games at Gaming Corps said: “Piggy Smash is a revolutionary game release for us, as our fantastic games team have shaken things up with the introduction of our Smash4Cash mechanic, which we are proud to introduce to players. We have produced another high-quality, enthralling arcade product that I’m certain our partners will be very pleased to offer to their players. The new mechanic will be deployed in future game releases too and we are very excited about how this will add further improvements to our games going forward.

“Last year was a fantastic year for Gaming Corps, and we are continuing to upgrade and refresh our games portfolio with thrilling, cutting-edge gaming content moving into 2024 as we expand our global market reach.”

Casino Guru, the leading online casino database and advocate for responsible gambling, has taken a further look into the success of the Gamalyze campaign it ran on the occasion of Safer Gambling Week 2024.

Hosted as a joint effort and collaboration with Mindway AI, a respected data science company with a particular focus on analyzing gambling behavior and integrating seamless technology-driven consumer protection measures.
The Gamalyze game, which sought to analyze and inform consumers about their gambling habits, was launched by 10,479 visitors, Casino Guru News previously reported, and 7,116 of the launched games were completed through the end.

Now, Casino Guru has dug into the newly surfaced data the collaboration has revealed and has carefully studied feedback from the campaign to help improve future iterations of the ambitious player protection initiative, discovering that the actual results were better than what was previously thought to be the case.

A total of 279,000 people saw the Gamalyze campaign on the Casino Guru’s website, with 65% of the people who visited the game detail deciding to play it – or some 13,000. Casino Guru was not only able to calibrate its initial numbers for how many people visited the game, or played it, but also derived other vitally important metrics.
First, the number of high-risk players has dropped to 15.6%, down from 17% in the previous campaign’s iteration. In contrast, the number of high-risk players, according to overall data, is 17.3%.

Upon completing the game, the players received advice and feedback on how to improve their gambling behavior.
Another interesting trend that Casino Guru noted was that for the most part, players were able to accurately predict the level of risk they were taking.

For example, only 15.6% of all players had underestimated their risk level – the same as the prior iteration of the Gamalyze campaign. In contrast, the overall average number is 15.2%. These players had too received advice on how to improve their gambling behavior and avoid unnecessary risk-taking.
51.7% of all players showed signs of normal loss sensitivity, which was down from 61% in the previous iteration of the campaign, indicating that players during this campaign showed less concerns over increased losses.

These findings highlight the meaningful impact of the Gamalyze campaign and reinforce the value of data-driven responsible gambling initiatives.

Encouraged by these results, Casino Guru and Mindway AI remain committed to refining their approach, expanding their reach, and continuously improving player protection efforts.
Each iteration presents new opportunities for Casino Guru and Mindway to empower consumers to make responsible gambling decisions.
