Piggies and the Wolf is a video slot created by Playtech. Although 3 Little Pigs served as an inspiration for an abundance of games, this developer really put an effort to make it look and feel distinctive. And they succeeded. Sure, we all loved this story when we were kids, but other than nostalgia, how did they manage to attract players?
Theme
3 Little Pigs is used as the main theme for the game. The background is quite simple and highly effective. The reels are placed on one side of the barn with the lantern hanging in the top right corner.
The design is extraordinary and Playtech reminded us that they are one of the best in business when it comes to graphics and artwork. Even though playing cards symbols are used as icons they look amazing since every single one comes with a unique stylistic feature. For instance, number 10 has sunglasses and a hat, J a bandana, Q a $ sign on a stick, K a golden chain and A is from Jamaica apparently. Additional symbols are laid-back pigs!
The jolly soundtrack adds value to this cool game, but it leaves you in a dilemma whether to cheer the wolf or the three pigs.
Betting Options and Other Functions
Piggies and the Wolf has 4 rows and 5 reels and the number of paylines is 50.You cannot reduce the number of lines, which means that a minimum bet is 0.50 in total or 0.01 per line. You can increase that to 100.00 per line. In other words, the maximum wagering is 5,000! This game is obviously for everyone, whether you just want to have fun and bet the minimum or you want to increase your bet and go for the big money!
All controls are well-organized under the reels. The “Spin” is in the bottom right, whereas the “Info” is located in the opposite corner. Everything else is in between, and the players have options of using “Auto Play” and setting the game on “Turbo Mode” for quick rounds!
Features
This release is stuffed with useful features - players will not be able to get enough of them. They are both entertaining and provide players with the opportunity of scoring cool prizes! These include:
- Huff n’ puff shuffle feature
- Free games
- Blow the house down
Alright let’s beginning with Huff n’ puff shuffle feature. To activate this one, you need wild symbols stacked on the entire fifth reel. The wolf will ride down on its motorbike and blow the icons away, changing their places. The chances of winning are over the roof! Other than that, the wild symbol has a traditional role, replacing any other icon except the scatter and bonus.
As for the free games, all you need is a scatter anywhere on reels 1, 3, 5.
Last but not least:
When the bonus icon appears on reels 1, 3 and 5, you will enter the bonus round called “Blow the house down”. Here, you are choosing the ways in which you want your wolf to blow the piggies’ house down and depending on the icon you select, you will earn a particular sum of money. The animation here is quite advanced!
Our take on Piggies and the Wolf
Piggies and the Wolf is a rather attractive release, and everything about this game is spot on. Everyone loves the story characters, but the developer took it a step further, making them a lot more fun. It offers fancy benefits you will not be able to find in other games.
