Peaky Pigs

If players are looking for a slot that focuses on a unique concept, Peaky Pigs could certainly be capable of ticking that box. As the name suggests, this online slot is based on the popular TV show Peaky Blinders, but with Pigs assuming the rules of different members within the gang. These pigs are shown in the symbols, with the backdrop presumably being Birmingham, England, at night.

Peaky Pigs was created by Snowborn Games, who appear to have a passion for creating slots that revolve around animals as the main characters. This is made apparent when players look at their previous titles, with Cats of the Caribbean and Cat Clans being just a couple of examples.

Symbols within Peaky Pigs are original, just like the theme. To start, there is a knuckle duster, a smashed bottle, boxing gloves, a razor, a horseshoe, and a pint of beer. It may come as no surprise that pigs make up the premium symbols in this game, with Billy Bacon, Sam The Ham, Ricky Ribs, and Tommy Hilpigger all being in the game. If 5 of these symbols match across a payline, then players can be awarded with 10x, 10x, 12.5x, and 12.5x, respectively.

There is also a scatter symbol, represented by a pocket watch, and a wild symbol. The wild icon is a ‘W’ with dynamite placed behind it. It can also substitute for any symbol in the game, apart from the aforementioned scatter symbol.

Peaky Pigs, like most slots by Snowborn Games, features a free spins mode, which is triggered if the scatter symbol appears on reels 1, 3, and 5. Should this happen, players will be awarded three spins. This mode features a respin mechanic, where the total number of spins will be entirely reset if a wild lands across any of the reels. Wilds that land will become sticky and stay in place for the rest of the round. After each spin, a random wild on the board will also receive a +1 potential win multiplier, which can stack up to 9x per symbol.

The bonuses do not end there in Peaky Pigs, though, with another mode called 'Piggy Pots' also making an appearance. At random intervals, coins can fall onto the board above the pig icons, which means they will be collected and put into the piggy bank on the left of the screen. If this happens, players have a chance at activating the associating bonus mode, which will begin with five free spins if it triggers.

During this bonus, different pigs will be assigned to different jackpots that can be seen above the piggy bank itself. The bonus will then start, and different pig symbols can land before being collected. When all the spins have finished, all of the different icons will be totalled up. The jackpot awarded will be dependent on which pig appears the most often, with a potential for 15x, 20x, 200x, or 5,000x the stake size being awarded to the player.

It's not often that games contain a fresh theme alongside a variety of exciting features. However, Peaky Pigs seems to break this mould. The slot is easy on the eye, and the different bonus modes are an addition that most punters can appreciate!
