Sports Betting Industry News |11 November London, UK – Entain’s award-winning in-house studio has launched Pig Banker: Bacon Train, the highly anticipated next instalment in the iconic Pig Banker slots series.

Building on the runaway success of Pig Banker, which debuted in 2023 and quickly became Entain’s most popular in-house title ever, Bacon Train marks a bold evolution for the beloved piggy-themed universe. The game introduces a train-themed mechanic that is trending amongst US players and gaining traction in global markets. It combines the best of what players expect from slot mechanics and design in 2025, with the familiarity of Pig Banker design.

The original game, known for its simple math profile, intuitive gameplay, and new interactive cash drop feature, became a top three global hit and number one in the UK, Brazil, and Canada. Since then, the Pig Banker franchise has expanded into six iterations, including fan favourites like Three Little Piggies, which went on to become the most successful launch in the franchise.

“Bacon Train is the perfect example of what happens when creativity meets player insight. We’ve taken the magic of Pig Banker and added the fresh mechanics that players love. It is bold, it is fun, and it shows why in-house innovation matters.”
— Robert Parker, Head of Studio

A new track for Pig Banker

Pig Banker: Bacon Train features a dynamic three-pot system of Blue, Red, and Green, each triggering unique bonus journeys across the reels. With modifiers like random cash (green), final carriage jackpots (blue), multipliers (red), and guaranteed jackpots (purple), the game delivers a layered experience that rewards players.

The game’s four-high, five-reel layout adds visual scale and mechanical depth from the original Pig Banker, while sound effects contribute to a “big band” atmosphere, which reinforces the game’s focus on frequent, smaller wins across the reels.

“What we’re seeing with Bacon Train is the result of years of refining our approach to in-house development. Our studios are built to take creative risks, and this launch proves how powerful that model can be – not just for innovation, but for commercial success.”
— Benedict McDonagh, Director of In-House Studios

With Bacon Train already outperforming expectations, Entain is reaffirming its commitment to in-house innovation . As Entain continues to expand its global footprint, particularly in regulated US states, the Pig Banker franchise is poised to become a cornerstone of its content strategy.
