Happy Hooves

Happy Hooves is set in a horse's home - the stables. However, these stables seem pretty empty as they have migrated to the five reels featured in this slot. Happy Hooves displays aesthetic visuals and an impressive soundtrack. When symbols match, there are a plethora of sound effects to add to a player's experience.

Pragmatic Play produced this slot; they will be a familiar name to players. They are not new to creating fan-favourite games like Greedy Wolf, Rainbow Gold Shifting Riches, Extra Juicy Megaways and many more.

Players can spin Happy Hooves with a minimum bet of 0.40 per round, covering all 40 paylines by default. The maximum potential win within this game sits at 5,000x the stake size.

Happy Hooves has a large variety of symbols to look out for. Firstly, there are J, Q, K, and A symbols, pretty standard to online slots. Next, for premium symbols, there are four, and they take the form of four different horses. These icons are green, purple, blue, and red, with 5 red horse symbols awarding 3.75x the bet size.

Even the special symbols in this game are related to horses. There are 4 wilds within the game, again tied to the colours purple, red, green, and blue. Golden horses act as scatter symbols.

Moreover, there are mystery symbols, which are represented by a stable with closed doors. These symbols play during either bonus mode, along with the final symbol - a small golden star.

In addition to a bonus round, Happy Hooves has another feature. It is called ‘PowerNudge’ and is triggered when one or more mystery symbols land across any reels. These mystery symbols will open to reveal a wild symbol or a small golden star. If a golden star is in play, it will spin again and show either a scatter or multiplier. All mystery symbols will move down one position at the end of each round. 

The PowerNudge feature will end when all the mystery symbols have left the screen. Then, all multipliers will be added up, applied to the stake size, and awarded to the player. The main bonus feature will be triggered if 3 scatters are revealed.

The main bonus is not only triggered during the PowerNydge feature; three or more scatter symbols in regular play will also allow players into the bonus round. A minimum of 8 mystery symbols will land on two reels during this mode. As like before, these can display either wilds or gold stars.

But the new ‘Nudge Up’ symbol will also be introduced to players; this will move the mystery symbols up again if it lands. Symbols will move up as many times as these symbols are in play.

After each round, the mystery symbols will move down one position. The bonus ends when there are no more mystery symbols in the playing area. With the main bonus, players will also see a multiplier on the right-hand side of the screen, which will be applied to all potential winnings. Every time the mystery symbols are nudged up, the multiplier will increase by one; this will continue until the bonus feature's end.

Pragmatic Play's fun twist on the PowerNudge feature with Happy Hooves will excite players. The opportunity for mystery symbols to make their way back up the board is undeniably exciting. These symbols can also be encountered during any spin, even during the base game, making gameplay more surprising!
