In the enchanting world of Big Bad Wolf: Pigs of Steel, a captivating video slot crafted by Quickspin, players are immersed in the timeless tale of the three little pigs across a 5-reel, 3-row layout with 25 ways to win. Quickspin brings a fresh twist to this classic narrative by incorporating innovative features and captivating visuals, ensuring an engaging and rewarding gaming experience for players.
At the heart of the game are the three endearing little piggies themselves, serving as the high-paying symbols. Following closely behind are the trusty tools of the trade, an axe and a trowel, acting as the mid-value symbols, while the familiar 10 to A card ranks represent the lows. Achieving a winning combination triggers payouts ranging from 1 to 2 times the bet for the royals, 5 times the bet for the mid-value symbols, and an impressive 15 to 25 times the bet for the high-value pig symbols. The game's wilds, appearing on all five reels, serve as versatile substitutes for any regular pay symbol. Notably, when five regular wilds land on the reels, players can expect a rewarding payout of 40 times the bet, while wild versions of the pig symbols maintain the same value as their non-wild counterparts.
The gameplay is enriched by the dynamic Tumbling Reels mechanic, where winning symbols are removed from the reels to pave the way for new symbols to cascade down, offering additional opportunities to secure wins. This exhilarating feature continues until no new winning combinations are formed. Adding a layer of excitement are the Piggy Wilds, triggered on the second, fourth, and sixth tumble in a sequence, transforming the red, green, and blue piggy pay symbols into wilds respectively. Furthermore, the pig symbols gain a protective layer during tumble sessions, ensuring they remain on the reels and potentially contribute to consecutive wins. As the protection levels increase, the likelihood of retaining these valuable symbols grows, enhancing the overall winning potential.
The game reaches new heights of excitement with its enticing Bonus Game, Super Bonus Game, and Ultra Bonus Game, unlocked by landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols respectively. Each bonus round boasts its own win multiplier, starting at x1, x2, or x3, depending on the level of the bonus game triggered. Scatter symbols are exclusive to the base game, adding an element of anticipation as players vie for entry into these lucrative bonus rounds. Within these bonus rounds, the collection of Moon symbols triggers additional rewards, with 3 Moon symbols awarding +2 free spins and doubling the win multiplier, while 6 Moon symbols further enhance the bonus round with additional free spins and a doubled win multiplier.
