Piggy Cluster Hunt (Bullshark Games) Slot Demo & Review

The slot I’ll be reviewing today is the second Bullshark Games release I’ve tested in as many weeks, and again, they’ve teamed up with Hacksaw Games to make use of their tried and tested OpenRGS platform. The scene for this latest title is a wooden hut in a secluded lakeside setting, surrounded by rolling hills and towering mountains. It’s the epitome of relaxation, and I feel at one with nature just by looking at it – let’s hope the gameplay is as smooth and enjoyable as the graphics. It’s called Piggy Cluster Hunt, and it’s a high volatility, seven-reel, seven-row slot featuring a maximum win of 15,000x and an RTP of 96.23%.

The lucky inhabitant of this peaceful paradise is a rotund, dungaree-wearing pig who seems just as happy as I would be to be chilling his beans away from the pressures of life and other people in general. He carries a shotgun, which I’ll assume is for hunting purposes rather than to deter said people. Our porky piggie friend will make use of this gun in the game as he blasts any Exploding Wild symbols that land on the reels, showering up to eight further wilds across the screen. Wins are formed by matching symbols in cluster pays style on the 7×7 grid, and above this, a multiplier window is displayed, where values of up to 100x may potentially land. These become increasingly important during the free spins round, where up to 15 spins can be won, as multiplier values are guaranteed to appear in this window on every spin.

Here we all are, running the city rat race and working hard to pay our rent and put food in our bellies. Mr Piggie, on the other hand, has no such worries; there are no bills in his world; he just pops outside and shoots the local wildlife when he gets hungry. He certainly wouldn’t be paying to play slots, and you won’t have to either, as you can enjoy the Piggy Cluster Hunt demo slot instead. It’s completely free to play below!

Piggy Cluster Hunt Slot Paytable

The Bullshark Games release I mentioned in my introduction as one I’d reviewed recently is titled Merlin’s Alchemy. It’s an enjoyable magic-themed scatter-style game that features mystery symbols and multipliers galore; why not check it out and see what else this up-and-coming provider has to offer? But if it’s the piggy theme you’re here for, you’re in luck, as we have a wide variety of slot reviews and associated demos on our site inspired by this porky pink creature. One of those is the Piggy Bank slot from Inspired Gaming, which features four fixed jackpots to win, whilst the Piggy Riches demo from Red Tiger is another very popular slot on our platform. Crikey, all this talk of pigs has got me craving a bacon sandwich, but there is no time for that; we’ll be moving over to the paytable now as we begin exploring the features of Piggy Cluster Hunt in further detail.

You’ll be as happy as a pig in muck if you can match a cluster of 36 or more on Piggy Cluster Hunt, as that’s what’s required to achieve the top payout value for each symbol. At the top of the paytable sits the Shotgun Cartridge and Bear Trap, which will both return a prize of 300x your total stake for a cluster of 36+. Next, it’s the Catapult and Binoculars, both paying 50x, followed by the lower value symbols, the Ammo Case, Knife, Rope, and Compass, which are all worth 25x bet for a cluster of 36 or more.

It seems as if the pig character featured in this slot is well equipped to deal with life in the outdoors, judging by the tools at his disposal at the paytable. As players, we also need to choose the right weapon to attack with in terms of stake selection. Fortunately, we have many to work with here, ranging from a low of €0.10 and rising to a high of €100.00, with plenty of well-placed options in between, ensuring a comfortable entry point for all bankrolls.


Piggy Cluster Hunt Slot Base Game

The gameplay on Piggy Cluster Hunt takes place on a 7×7 grid, and wins are achieved in cluster pays fashion. This means that a minimum of five matching symbols need to be connected in some shape or form anywhere on the screen. Any symbols involved in a win will subsequently be removed from the grid through the tumbling reels engine, allowing new ones room to drop into play from the top of the reels.


Progressive Win Multiplier

Above the main reel set, a three-sectioned window can be seen. At the start of each spin, three symbols will appear in this window, consisting of either a multiplier value or a pig symbol, which represents a blank space. The value of the multiplier in the leftmost of these three positions will be applied to any win value from the initial cascade.

After this, if there is one, the next multiplier will be added or multiplied by the first value to produce the next multiplier, which is then applied to any wins that occur in the second cascade. This process will then repeat if there is a third multiplier value in the window and a third winning cascade, and the final multiplier value produced will be applied to any further wins after that, which occur within the same spin.

Values in this window can appear in two forms: those that will sum together and those that will multiply a previous value. This is signified by the position of the ‘x’, with the sum values having the ‘x’ after the number and the multiplication values having it before. The possible values are as follows:

  • Sum: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 30x, 40x, 50x, 75x, 100x
  • Multiply: x2, x3, x4, x5, x10

Exploding Wilds

One or more exploding wild symbols can land on any spin and are depicted as a barrel with a cord protruding from the top. The pig will then shoot any of these symbols, and additional wilds will spray from them, covering surrounding grid positions. In the base game, a minimum of two extra wilds, up to eight, are added, whilst in the bonus game, a minimum of four extra wilds are guaranteed.

Piggy Cluster Hunt Slot Review Final Thoughts

The last time I reviewed a Bullshark Games release, I was slightly harsh, particularly when I criticised the small grid area, which turned out to be my fault for being a tech biff and not rotating my mobile device to landscape. So, I went into this review with a renewed sense of optimism and a correctly orientated device, where I discovered a very solid slot in Piggy Cluster Hunt. There are a couple of minor improvements that I’d recommend, such as a tweak to the second version of the bonus buy game, where the extra feature of a guaranteed minimum 5x multiplier does not go far enough for my liking. However, the theme and visuals are great, the exploding wild and progressive multiplier system adds a lot of entertainment value, and the RTP and max win potential are strong enough to please most players. All those things considered, I think this is a very good effort that many people will enjoy.
