Big Bad Wolf: Pigs of Steel

The Big Bad Wolf: Pigs of Steel online slot is the latest in Quickspin’s series of games based on the famous tale, The Three Little Pigs. 

The Big Bad Wolf: Pigs of Steel's 5x3 gaming grid is crossed by 25 paylines, awarding wins left to right. The game itself is packed full of amusing animations, cartoon-style graphics, and bonus features, which you can read about below. 

In the Big Bad Wolf slot, the low-paying symbols include the 10 to A card ranks. Following them are the mid-paying symbols, represented by an axe and a trowel, while the high-paying symbols feature the three little piggies themselves.

Achieving a 5-symbol winning line of the card ranks yields 1 to 2 times the bet, the mid symbols provide five times the bet, and the high symbols (three little piggies) offer more substantial rewards ranging from 15 to 25 times the bet.

The wild symbol, a toolbox, can hit on all five reels, and Piggy Wilds can be created through one of the game's features, as explained later. All types of wilds can substitute for any regular pay symbols. If you land five regular wilds on a payline, it triggers a payout of 40 times the bet. The wild versions of the pig symbols maintain the same value as their non-wild counterparts. And, of course, you can't have the three little pigs without a big bad wolf, and he acts as the scatter.

Big Bad Wolf: Pigs of Steel isn’t short of features, and Quickspin have put a bit of thought into coming up with something original. But let’s start off with an old favourite;

After every win in the base game and free spins,  the Tumbling Reels mechanic removes winning symbols from the reels allowing new ones to take their place. This reaction continues as long as new winning combinations are formed. 

After two successful tumbles, and red piggies on the reels become wild, four tumbles in a row will transform the green pig, and six will turn the red pig wild. 

After tumble 2, 4, and 6 in a sequence, the red, green, and blue piggy pay symbols, respectively, become Piggy Wilds.

The Pigs of Steel feature is a bit complicated, but basically, above the grid is a metre where pigs that are removed as part of winning combinations are collected. After three pigs are collected in a tumble sequence, any new pig symbols are protected at level one, which means they will remain on the reels for one tumble if they are part of a winning combo. Level two protection will keep them on the reels for two tumbles. 

Landing 3, 4, or 5 Big Bad Wolf scatter symbols triggers ten free spins (and a fun animation). However, the number of spins doesn't increase with the number of triggering scatters, the more the merrier. Each bonus round, the Bonus Game (3 scatters), Super Bonus Game (4 scatters), or Ultra Bonus Game (5 scatters), comes with a win multiplier, starting on x1, x2, or x3, respectively. 

During the round, the big bad wolf is busy huffing and puffing beside the grid, so can't land on the reels, but a Moon symbol appears as an alternative scatter and collecting 3 Moon symbols awards +2 free spins and doubles the win multiplier, while collecting 6 Moon symbols awards +2 free spins and doubles the win multiplier again.

The difference between the rounds, apart from the starting win multiplier, can be found in the Pigs of Steel and Piggy Wild metres. In the Bonus Game, the metres reset between spins. In the Super Bonus Game, only the Piggy WIlds metre resets between spins, and in the Ultra Bonus Game, neither metre resets.
