Big Bad Wolf Pigs Of Steel (Quickspin) Slot Demo & Review

The legendary fairytale of the Three Little Pigs has been passed down from generation to generation, with storytellers uttering those famous words, “I’ll huff, I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house down”. As with most themes and stories that catch the public’s imagination, slot providers end up putting their own spin on it, and today, we’re treated to another game in Quickspin’s series of wolf games titled the Big Bad Wolf Pigs of Steel slot. A glance over the stats reveals a 5-reel game featuring 25 paylines, an RTP of 96.14% and a maximum win of 10,000x bet.

Working through the bonus rounds and modifiers, we see both the cascading reels and Piggy Wild Symbols featuring once again as they have in previous releases in the franchise. This time around though, we’re treated to some little extras with win multipliers appearing in the free spins feature and the Pigs of Steel aspect of the slot kicking in, which stops that big old nasty wolf from blowing them off the reels and giving you a further chance to win. Those who can utilise the bonus buy option can instantly trigger a standard and enhanced version of the free spins at the tap of a button.

Have you got any predictions for how the story will play out this time? Will the wolf finally get himself a tasty meal, or will the pigs foil him once again? Why not find out and try our free Big Bad Wolf Pigs of Steel slot demo, it’s ready to play below.

Big Bad Wolf Pigs Of Steel Paytable

We’ve seen famous fairytales make their way from storybooks and movie screens over to online slot form in the past, with NetEnt Gaming’s Jack and the Beanstalk slot springing to mind. So, it was always likely to be the case that the iconic story of the Three Little Pigs would also make the transition. It turned out to be provider Quickspin who took up the mantle and gave us their hit title, Big Bad Wolf before they later upgraded it through BTG’s reel modifying mechanic and released Big Bad Wolf Megaways. Both games scored well with us in their reviews, so how will the Big Bad Wolf Pigs of Steel slot shape up? It’s time to jump in and find out.

We will begin, as always, at the paytable where the Wild symbol returns the highest amount, paying 40x bet for a five of a kind win. This is followed by the Three individual Pigs coloured Red, Green and Blue, valued at 25x, 20x and 15x, respectively. Next come the two medium pays, with the Trowel and Axe sharing equal payouts of 5x for a completed line of five. Last but not least, we have the low pays represented by four royal symbols with the Ace worth 2x bet, a King at 1.75x, followed by the Queen at 1.5x, and finally, the Jack awarding 1.25x bet for winning combo of five.

Onto the bet sizes in play on the Big Bad Wolf Pig of Steel slot, and players can commence the reels spinning from a minimum of €0.20, whilst high rollers can enjoy stakes of up to €100. There are over a dozen other options between these amounts, which are reasonably spaced out, catering for all sized playing balances.


Big Bad Wolf Pigs Of Steel Slot Base Game

With the gameplay on Quickspin’s Big Bad Wolf Pigs of Steel slot set over a 5×3 reel matrix, the game features 25 fixed paylines throughout all play. Players will be awarded a win if three matching symbols land on consecutive reels starting from the leftmost reel first. All winning combos will trigger the cascading reels engine, with winning symbols being blown from the reels by the wolf and new ones falling from above to fill the spaces left behind.


Piggy Wilds

The three piggies in the slot can all become wild in the base game and the free spins feature. The Piggy Wild Meter is positioned above the reels, and the pigs will become wild after 2, 4, and 6 reel tumbles, respectively. Once you fail to hit a new reel tumble, the meter will reset back to the start whilst in action on the base game and the standard free spins feature.


Pigs Of Steel

It’s possible for the Piggy symbols to be protected and immune from the wolf for longer. The levels of protection are awarded for the following.

  • 1 Level of protection after 3 Piggy symbols are removed.
  • 2 Levels of protection after 6 Piggy symbols are removed.

Big Bad Wolf Pigs Of Steel Slot Final Thoughts

Big Bad Wolf Pigs of Steel was a fun slot to play and review, but we've pretty much seen all it has to offer in previous versions of the game. Yes, there are some new features to explore, but not enough to make it worthy of getting a really juicy score out of 10.Make sure you check out the RTP on the version you are playing, too, if you do take this one for a spin in real money play. If you get stuck on the one at the lower end, you may as well knock your own house down and save the wolf the trouble.
