Remember the story about 3 little frightened pigs, where they build 3 different houses of different materials to protect themselves from hungry wolf – a house of straws, a house of sticks and a house of bricks?
Wolf is so hungry that he uses all of his strength to blow piggies’ houses down, after he tried tricky ways of getting them out.
Same as in this cute fairytale called The Three Little Pigs, main characters of Big Bad Wolf slot game are evil wolf and 3 diligent pigs with house building tools – one has a straw in his mouth, second one a painting brush and third one, who’s looking like the bravest one, carries a trowel to build a house of bricks.
This is a wonderful and very popular slot game, made by Quickspin, with 5 Reels, 25 Paylines and 97.35% RTP.
In some way we can compare it with Gonzo’s Quest, because reels and symbols are not spinning – they are falling down where winning ones get removed to make way to new falling ones, meaning you’ll always get a Re-spin after a winning combo!
Big Bad Wolf is definitely in my Top 3 game list, because so far it has never let me down and it’s a big fun at the same time!
You’ll be the bad guy in this game actually, because the more luck you have, the more you’ll be helping a Wolf in his pig hunt.
Game Symbols
Big Bad Wolf symbols are divided into 2 groups: Medium Win Symbols and Low Win Symbols.
First group contains each of the pigs and one pink teddy bear, actually teddy pig to be precise. The most valuable pig symbol is surprisingly the one with a straw in his mouth who built the weakest house. Five of these will award you with 300 coins. I know it seems pretty poor, but this game can be so generous and win-striking that higher symbol value would be probably too much.
Low Win Symbols are card symbols A, K, Q, J and 10, looking like wooden boxes painted in different colours. All of the game symbols have a wooden frame and they are all falling on the reels like wooden boxes. Reels are placed in sweet piggy house(s), with arable land and birds singing in the background. Very warm and cosy atmosphere in this game.
Wild symbol is a bee hive and it substitutes for all other symbols except for Multiplier Wild Symbol, Free Spin scatter symbol and Free Spin progress scatter symbol.
It’s a symbol with significantly highest value – you get 1,000 coins for 5 Wilds.
Pigs go wild
This is one amazing feature of Big Bad Wolf! It’s called Pigs Turn Wild. Let’s see how it works!
You’ll notice our 3 heroic pigs in the right upper corner of the game, with words Wild and 2 lights off under each. Each time you get a winning spin
one light under the piggy icon on the right will turn on, winning symbols will be blown away and replaced with new ones in a Re-spin, falling on their place. If you spin from a Re-spin is also a winning one, second light under first pig will go on and then all pigs with a straw in their mouth that appear on your reels will turn into Wilds. You’ll also get a new Re-spin.
To activate all 3 pigs and make them turning into Wilds, you need 6 winning spins in a row – all six in one original spin. It sounds hard, but it’s actually not – it gets much easier when you activate 1st pig turning Wild, after a winning spin and winning Re-spin. With 4 winnings in a row in a single original spin, already two different pi symbols will all turn into Wilds and it’s easier to reach 6th winning in a row, where ALL pigs will turn Wilds and give you amaaaaaazing wins!! When you reach this, you can relax in your sofa, take your hands off of your keyboard and enjoy watching Big Bad Wold feels re-spinning and winning in one and the same, original single spin. Popcorn time!
House-blowing Free Spins
The moon is full and it’s time for a Wolf to sneak around the house and start a pig hunt!
Wolf is representing Scatter symbol – when you get 3 of them on the reels, you’ll be awarded with 10 Free Spins! This is not too hard to trigger, since Wolf appears anywhere on the reels and he does it often.
Another great thing is that collecting 3 Scatter Wolves will turn your win into 3x of your bet, in original spin.
Free Spins start with a Wolf blowing down a first house of straws, so the game moves to another, stronger house. Piggy feature remains and everything works the same as in the main game, except that you have an addition in the left upper corner showing +2 Spins and +2 Spins with x2.
That’s Blowing Down The House feature!
During Free Spins one new symbol can appear on the 5th reel – Full Moon. When you collect 3 of them, you’ll be awarded with 2 more Free Spins, Wolf will blown down a middle house and Free Spins (with 2 more added) will continue in the third, strongest brick house.
There you can collect more of the Full Moons, where another 3 of them will give you 2 more Free Spins with x2 Multiplier on following winnings.
And there’s happy ending for you and Wolf, completely different than in a fairytale – he blows down the house of bricks as well!
Free Spins can be re-triggered if you get 3 new Scatters during the Free Spins round.
Since your Free Spins start immediately after you hit 3 Scatters, when Free Spins round ends up, your original spin will continue with a Re-spin (one or more). Big Bad Wolf sometimes seems to never stops spinning itself, that’s why this slot game is rock ‘n’ roll!!!
Bet Options
It’s very easy to set up your bet in this game! Click on the big Total Bet button in the middle and choose one of the following Bets: 0.25, 0.50, 1.25, 2.50, 5.00, 6.25, 12.50, 25.00, 50.00 and 125.00.
Since there is 25 paylines, you’ll see you’re bet per line when you pick your preferable bet size.
Cool thing is that you can thick an option to use Space button for spinning the game.
Conclusion
Simply can’t express enough how excited I get about this game! It carved a path of thrilling experience ever since the first time.
Don’t know what to start from first – the concept, the features, the amazing winnings I made or cash-outs I made thanks to this game?? Each of these things is fantastic and all together they make one of my all time favourite games – the one I keep getting back to and the one that always saves me, entertains me and awards me!
I told to a friend of mine, who also plays slots pretty often, how much I enjoy Big Bad Wolf and he was like “Naaaaah, that’s just a Gonzo’s clone”.
But then a group of us played a couple of games and then switched to Big Bad Wolf and Nah guy was impressed and immediately changed his opinion on this superb game! He probably tried it just once, hadn’t any specific luck on it and never tried it again. If your first attempt goes unlucky, please please, give it some time or another try!
This slot game didn’t buy me with the concept or characters at first, I was looking for more cartoonish and cuter games when I discovered it. Was reading about some big winnings from a friend from one big gambling forum and thought I should see why all that fuss and how’s that I never heard about it before. It wasn’t love at first sight, but surely was love at first winning! Big Bad Wolf can really boost your balance with just a single spin! Be brave and try playing it with a bet of 0.50 or 1.25 – your investment should pays off and you can be surprised how generous this game be for this bet size, which is not so big and which many other games would award with much smaller wins.
There can be dead spins as in every other slot game, but I can’t say there’s many of them. This is strange combination in a slot game indeed – it gives relatively frequent, but very nice wins.
I’d gladly give a gold medal to Quickspin for this game! Not sure if even they are aware how awesome this game is, but they did a fantastic job.
Let it just warm up a little bit and you’ll be pleasantly surprised, especially when see so many Wilds across your screen!
