BIG BAD WOLF PIGS OF STEEL

HOW TO PLAY BIG BAD WOLF PIGS OF STEEL

The base game of Pigs of Steel is standard fare for online slot games. It’s plated on 5 reels in a 5×3 grid with 25 active paylines. Wins are calculated whenever you hit three or more matching symbols along these paylines, going from left to right. In a way, this means that the latest addition to the Big Bad Wolf series does not stray too far from the original. At least not as far as the core game systems are concerned.

Bets start at $0.20 per round, with $100 being the highest possible bet in the slot. You can win up to 18,173x the stake.

Crucially, the game also features Tumbling Reels. Otherwise known as slot cascade features, reel tumble means that all winning symbols are removed from the game. Symbols above them tumble down and take their place, and new symbols fall down from the top of the reels. This opens up space for new winning combinations, which in turn causes new cascades. Symbols will keep tumbling for as long as there are winning lines, which applies to both the base game and the bonus rounds.

EXTRA FEATURES

The main game features in Big Bad Wolf Pigs of Steel online slot are Bonus Games (of which there are three variants), Win Multipliers, Piggy Wilds and Pigs of Steel.

The entire game revolves around the concept of Tumbling Reels, which play a crucial role in various aspects of the game. These cascades not only allow the Pigs to transform into Piggy Wilds but also activate the Pigs of Steel feature and assist in triggering Bonus Games.

For starters, we have Piggy Wilds. Pig symbols (regular high-paying symbols) can transform into Wild symbols on the second, fourth, and sixth consecutive Tumble in the specific sequence of red, green, and blue pigs. By observing the grid, players can easily identify which pig is due for transformation.

The Pigs of Steel feature serves as a sort of protection from the Big Bad Wolf. The wolf attempts to blow the house down, which can end Cascades. To unlock the first protective layer, players must eliminate a minimum of three Pigs from the screen through Tumbles. As you continue to clear six Pigs, you get additional layers of protection, allowing cascades to last longer.

PAYOUTS & RTP

The Big Bad Wolf Pigs of Steel slot game is quite volatile with a moderate hit rate. In practice, this means that you can expect to lose money on an average spin. However, you can win big if you string together a few Cascades or a lucky Bonus Round. Still, it’s a traditional slot layout with only 3 rows and 25 active paylines, which is something to bear in mind.

Game Symbols include the usual low-paying card symbols which pay 1x-2x, axes and trowels paying 5x, and pigs paying between 15x and 25x for a match of 5. Conversely, most smaller symbol combinations will not cover the cost of the stake, though it’s important to remember that you can win several after tumbling.

The highest potential win in the game equals 18,173x the stake, which can be hit through the Bonus Rounds.

Finally, Big Bad Wolf Pigs of Steel RTP is 96.14% at its highest. There are lower-RTP versions available online, and we highly recommend that you avoid those.

BIG BAD WOLF PIGS OF STEEL BY QUICKSPIN – CASINO BLOKE’S VERDICT

Overall, the Pigs of Steel online slot game is easily one of the strongest in the Big Bad Wolf series. And that’s saying something.

Let’s start with the good. Everything was improved across the board, including the visuals and UI. We also quite enjoyed the features – especially the whole Pigs of Steel protection. The Piggy Wilds are also interesting because they add a degree of predictability, which is the opposite of what many modern slots are doing. The bonus rounds are also quite nice, though a bit generic.

‘A bit generic’ is pretty much the only real complaint we have about the game. Quickspin could have done a bit more to distinguish this game from the rest of their portfolio. That said, Big Bad Wolf has always been a game made for wide appeal, so we’re not surprised it’s not more innovative.

All in all, a must-play if you enjoyed the previous Big Bad Wolf slot games. If not, we can still safely recommend that you at least try it.
