Big Bad Wolf Pigs of Steel is a captivating video slot game developed by Quickspin, featuring a 5-reel, 3-row grid with 25 ways to win. This game draws players into an Exciting adventure with its innovative features, such as Tumbling Reels, Piggy Wilds, Pigs of Steel, and various Bonus Games, each designed to enhance the gameplay and increase the excitement levels.
The storyline is inspired by the classic tale of the Three Little Pigs, who represent the highest-paying symbols within the game. Following these characters, the game incorporates medium-value symbols represented by an axe and a trowel, while the lower-value symbols are depicted by the traditional card ranks from 10 to Ace. When players land a line of five of a kind (5 OAK), they can expect payouts ranging from 1 to 2 times the bet for the lower-value symbols, 5 times the bet for the medium-value symbols, and between 15 to 25 times the bet for the highest-value piggy symbols. Wild symbols, which can appear on all five reels, play a crucial role in the game by substituting for any normal pay symbols to form winning combinations. Notably, landing five regular wilds yields a payout of 40 times the bet, and the piggy symbols have their wild counterparts with identical values.
The game's Tumbling Reels mechanic is a standout feature that removes winning symbols from the board, allowing for new symbols to tumble into place and offer additional chances to win. This tumbling process continues until no new winning combinations are formed. After achieving two, four, and six consecutive tumbles, the red, green, and blue piggy symbols respectively transform into Piggy Wilds, enhancing the potential for substantial wins. Moreover, the pig symbols benefit from a protection mechanism that activates when tumbles contribute to wins. Achieving protection level 1 occurs after removing three piggy symbols, while level 2 is reached after six are removed.
The excitement peaks with the Bonus Games, which are triggered by landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols, awarding players 10 free spins in the Bonus Game, Super Bonus Game, or Ultra Bonus Game, each with its starting win multiplier (x1, x2, or x3). Scatters are exclusive to the base game. Within these bonus rounds, collecting Moon symbols unlocks additional rewards. Specifically, gathering 3 Moon symbols grants +2 free spins and doubles the win multiplier, while collecting 6 doubles the multiplier again, offering players an exciting chance to amplify their winnings significantly.
