The central hook is how PopOK layers a multiplier system onto such a small grid. A fourth reel applies multipliers ranging from 1x to 15x, increasing the value of connected wins.

The more distinctive element is the Ultra Bet feature. It gives players a stake-based lever over that engine. Ultra Bet removes the lowest value from the reel to improve the chances of landing higher multipliers.

Why does that matter? It shifts a slice of control to the player, trading a wider spread of outcomes for improved odds on the multiplier reel. This is a familiar risk-adjustment idea rather than a new engine. Still, it’s the detail that separates Piggy Dynasty from a plain compact slot.

Harrison Barrett, VP of business development, spoke to the iGB team at iGB L!VE 2026 to discuss the evolution of Soft2Bet’s MEGA platform, which started out as a purely gamification layer but has become “much more compelling than simply leaderboards, missions and point-based rewards”.

As Barrett puts it, MEGA is “ultimately a retention tool that helps our partners move away from heavy bonus and costs”.

With ice hockey and UFC-themed initiatives driving engagement in North America and a 45% lifetime value increase seen with the launch of MEGA Shoot, a player-versus-player simulation penalty shootout game initiative which launched during the World Cup, it is an exciting time for the Malta-based platform provider.
