What Happens in Candy Crush When Your Piggy Bank Fills Up: The Gamer‘s Guide

As a long-time Candy Crush Saga player and gaming blogger, one of the top questions I get asked is: "what happens when your Piggy Bank fills up?"

It‘s a great question. The Piggy Bank is a handy game feature, but how it works precisely isn‘t always clear. Well, let this passionate gamer walk you through everything Piggy Bank related!

An Overview – How Piggy Banks Work In Candy Crush

For starters, what even is the Piggy Bank? It‘s essentially a special item you can purchase that passively collects gold bars as you play Candy Crush.

As you complete levels and earn stars, a portion of the star value goes into filling up your Piggy Bank with gold bars. Once it reaches full capacity, you have the option of “buying” a full piggy bank to collect the stash of bars.

So in essence:

  • Piggy Bank slowly fills with gold bars from stars
  • Maxes out when it hits full capacity
  • You can then “buy” full piggy bank to empty it and collect bars

It then automatically resets to start filling back up again while you keep playing.

What Happens When Your Piggy Bank Gets Full

So what precisely happens when your Piggy Bank reaches full capacity?

You’ll see the option to “buy” the Piggy Bank for real money. The amount varies, but is always at a nice discount compared to buying gold bars directly.

For context, here is a comparison of 18,000 gold bar value:

Method18,000 Gold Bars
Piggy Bank (at capacity)$4.99
Store Bundle$9.99

As you can see, buying piggy banks saves you around 50%!

Once you purchase the full Piggy Bank, all the gold bars you’ve accumulated by earning stars will be added to your account balance. And just like that, you’ve got yourself a nice stash of discounted gold!

The Piggy Bank then resets to empty and continues passively collecting gold bars as you play more Candy Crush levels.

So in summary:

  • Full Piggy Bank presents opportunity to “buy” for real money
  • Buying it collects gold bars and resets empty Piggy Bank
  • It continues passively filling again as you keep playing

Tips and Strategies for Making the Most of Piggy Banks

Based on playing Candy Crush for years, here are my pro tips for utilizing Piggy Banks:

  • Check them frequently so you know when they’re full
  • Try to play consistently to keep passively filling them
  • Time piggy purchases for when you need resources
  • Stack multiple piggies at once to collect even more!
  • Treat them as discounts, not requirements

In my experience, they can provide a nice influx of gold when you want to make a big candy purchase!

My Expert verdict: Piggy Banks Are Extremely Helpful

As someone who has played Candy Crush since the beginning and created tons of gaming content, I can safely say Piggy Banks are extremely useful.

Having an automated way to passively stockpile discounted gold bars helps remove some of the paywalls and roadblocks in Candy Crush. It rewards consistent play, and the discount compared to direct purchases is very nice.

Of course, you don’t need to utilize Piggy Banks. But they offer an easy way to gather resources for when you to want push further or grab a power-up. Compared to buying gold outright, it’s a bargain.

So in summary – yes, I’d highly recommend using Piggy Banks to all Candy Crush gamers! Take advantage of these friendly piggies.
