Introduction to 3 Pigs of the Caribbean
3 Pigs of the Caribbean is a casino slot from Gaming Corps. This time, the three adventurous pigs from 3 Pigs of Olympus Bonus Pot leave behind Greek mythology for a pirate adventure, sailing in search of treasure. The game mixes playful pirate fun with a Hold & Win feature that includes upgrades, expanding grids, and big Prize Coins. The theme takes inspiration from the long-lasting interest in the Golden Age of Piracy, a notable period in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, when piracy flourished in the Caribbean, American coastlines, and West Africa. The era has inspired countless legends and shaped the modern pirate mythology with infamous pirates such as Blackbeard, Calico Jack, and Anne Bonny. Let’s head out to sea to figure out if the 3 pigs can handle the dangerous waters.
The game is easy to pick up, but there are enough details that it’s worth exploring the features first. You can try the free demo version above to get a sense of the coin-collecting action before using real money.

With the best of luck at sea, you can take home the max win of 10,000x the bet, and the game has medium volatility.
The slot takes you to a Caribbean island seen from above. In the crystal clear water next to the island is a pirate ship with the Jolly Rodger flag at the top of the mast. There is a big cave shaped like a pig's head, with an entrance through the snot, and a wooden tower next to it. Above the bright reels in the middle of the screen are three pirate pigs in red, yellow, and blue, representing the different bonus game modes. You score a win by landing 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting on the first reel to the left, and the game is available on mobiles, tablets, and desktops.
The lower-paying symbols are 10, J, Q, K, and A, which pay 0.5x to 1x your bet for five in a row. Higher-paying symbols include a ship’s wheel, a compass, an anchor, and a cannon, paying 2x to 5x for a 5-of-a-kind win. There’s also a Wild symbol, shown as a W, that stands in for regular symbols but not Prize Coins, Pig Coins, or the Collector Chest.

What features are available in the slot 3 Pigs of the Caribbean?
The features are Prize Coin, Collector Chest, Wild Symbol, Mystery Pig, Bonus Hold & Win Game, and Feature Buy.
Prize Coin
Prize Coin symbols can land on any reel and contain values between 1x and 100x the total bet.
Collector Chest
A Collector Chest may land during the base game, collecting all Prize Coin values that land on the same spin. Up to two chests can appear at once.
Wild Symbol
The Wild symbol substitutes for regular-paying symbols but does not replace Prize Coins, Pig Coins, or the Collector Chest.
Mystery Pig
Mystery Pig appears only during the Bonus Hold & Win Game. When it lands, it transforms into one of the three Pig Coins and triggers that pig’s upgrade effect.
Bonus Hold & Win Game
You trigger this feature by landing six or more Prize Coins or Pig Coins, or a combination of them. The Red, Yellow, and Blue Pig Coins bring their own upgrades: Rise, Multi, and Extra. Only Prize Coins, Pig Coins, Mystery Pig, Prize Gem tokens, and Collector Chest can appear.
You fill progress bars by collecting matching Prize Gem tokens, and when you finish a bar, you get the prize. The values are 20x for Mini, 50x for Minor, 100x for Major, and 1,000x for Grand.
The feature starts with three respins, which reset every time a symbol lands. The round ends when you run out of respins or fill the grid, and you win the total value of all symbols.
Rise Hold & Win
The Red Pig increases the grid height by one (up to a maximum of five rows) and awards a random value up to 100x.
Multi Hold & Win
The Yellow Pig applies multipliers between 2x and 10x to random Prize Coins and Prize Gems, and then awards a random value up to 100x.
Extra Hold & Win
The Blue Pig increases the respin counter to 4 and then awards a random value up to 100x.
Feature Buy
Single Pig Feature Buy
This feature costs 50x the bet and activates the Bonus Hold & Win Game with one random Pig Coin upgrader.
Double Pig Feature Buy
Paying 100x the bet activates the Bonus Hold & Win Game with two random Pig Coin upgraders.
Triple Pig Feature Buy
For 200x the bet, you can activate the Bonus Hold & Win Game with all three Pig Coin upgraders.
Random Pig Feature Buy
For a bigger surprise, you can pay 80x the bet and activate the Bonus Hold & Win Game with a random number of Pig Coin upgraders.
Hot Bet
The Hot Bet doubles the chance of triggering the Bonus Hold & Win Game at a cost of 2x the current bet.
Final Thoughts on 3 Pigs of the Caribbean
While entering this game, you’ll realize that the three Greek pig gods from 3 Pigs of Olympus Bonus Pot have changed their character. They are no longer Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon, but three lethal pirates. Okay, to be honest, they’re not the most intimidating pirates ever seen.
We expected 3 Pigs of the Caribbean to be another fun, lighthearted pig-themed slot, and while it is, the Bonus Hold & Win feature made it much more interesting than expected. Each round feels different depending if you’re playing the Rise, Multi, or Extra Hold & Win game. The Red Pig makes the grid grow taller, the Yellow Pig adds multipliers, and the Blue Pig adds an extra spin to the respins counter, which can be really helpful at the end.
The Prize Gems give you a nice long-term goal during the bonus, and getting one feels very rewarding. The theme is cheerful but not too silly, and the pigs add some humor as they collect coins. The medium volatility keeps things steady, and the chance to win up to 10,000x makes the game exciting.
The setup and ways to win remind us of 3 Pigs of Olympus Bonus Pot, and the big difference is that the Free Spins have been exchanged for the Hold & Win respins. If you want some other pig action, we can highly recommend Fantasma Games’ Gold Pigger, which also features a coin-collecting feature.
3 Pigs of the Caribbean from Gaming Corps is a nice sequel to the studio’s Pigs series.
