Game Overview
We’re often told that fairy tales can teach our kids morality, resilience, and the difference between right and wrong. I’m not so sure about that when you consider how scary some are. A witch is trying to eat Hansel and Gretal, the pied piper tries to lure kids away from their parents, and a miller’s daughter is forced to spin straw into gold under threat of death in Rumpelstiltskin. Then we have the wolves with pointy teeth, such as the one trying to eat Little Red Riding Hood and another looking to blow down the pig’s houses so he can eat them for dinner. Surely there’s a better way to teach these moral lessons than scaring them silly? Either way, it’s the latter of those stories, the Three Little Pigs, that is the theme of the latest slot to hit my in-tray. The Pig House slot from TaDa Gaming is a 5×3 slot with 243 ways to win and a 5,000x the stake maximum win.
The Pig House is all about a Lucky Wheel that can reward one of four fixed jackpots, the best of which is the Grand worth up to 1,500x the stake and four different variations of a free spins bonus game. Each bonus features upgradeable framed positions holding multipliers ranging from 0.1x the stake to 1,500x. However, upgrading each position gets easier if you unlock one of the Mega or Super bonus games, as these feature giant, running, and max level scatter symbols.
Can you help prevent the three piggies from becoming wolf dinner while also claiming cash prizes of up to 1,500x the stake? Go and prove it by playing The Pig House slot demo below.
theme, stakes, pays & symbols
If you’re a fan of pigs and would rather play a slot without fearing for their lives, there are plenty of free demo slots around on our platform for you to consider. The Pig Wizard from Blueprint Gaming is a good shout, especially if you like the sound of a 50,000x maximum win. Peaky Pigs from Snowborn Games is another, as it earned a 9 out of 10 rating from our review, and the demo is popular with our readers, whilst others that are worth a look include Big Bad Wolf Pigs of Steel from Quickspin and Hacksaw Gaming’s Magic Piggy.
In terms of payouts from the regular symbols, the Pink Pig has the best, paying 5x the stake for five in a row, which is almost double the 3x offered by the Blue Pig and three times as much as the 2x return of the Green Pig. The Bricks, Wood, and Hay symbols all return a maximum of 1x, the Hammer and Nails both reward up to 0.5x, and the Ace, King, and Queen have a max reward of 0.3x.
Players can choose from a wide range of bet sizes when spinning the reels on The Pig House. The minimum bet supported is a budget-friendly €0.10, whilst high-rollers can bet as much as €100.00 at the opposite end of the scale.
The Pig House slot base game
The Pig House slot is played across a 5×3 reel format with 243 ways to win. Three or more matching symbols across consecutive reels starting from the leftmost reel rewards a payout.
The Lucky Wheel
You will receive spins on this wheel whenever three scatter symbols land across the second, third, and fourth reels. A spin will reveal one of the following prizes, whether a fixed jackpot up to 1,500x the stake or access to one of the four free spins bonus games:
It’s impossible not to notice the Lucky Wheel simply because it occupies as much of the screen as the reels do. It sits above those reels and slowly rotates through its 12 potential prizes as you spin them.
- Mini: You win the Mini Jackpot worth 10x the stake.
- Minor: You win the Minor Jackpot worth 50x.
- Mini x2: You win the Mini Jackpot multiplied by 2x, so 20x the stake.
- Minor x2: You win the Minor Jackpot multiplied by 2x, so 100x the stake.
- Mini x5: You win the Mini Jackpot multiplied by 5x, so 100x the stake.
- Major: You win the Minor Jackpot worth 150x.
- Grand: You win the Minor Jackpot worth 1,500x.
- FG: This triggers the normal free games bonus (more on these bonus games later).
- Super FG: This triggers the normal free games bonus.
- Mega FG (Red): This triggers the Mega Free Games (Red).
- Mega FG (Blue): This triggers the Mega Free Games (Blue).
The Pig House slot bonus features
As you can see above, the wheel can trigger one of four bonus games. Let’s learn more about these and what they can offer in detail below.
Free Spins Feature
Whichever free spins variation you trigger, you receive 6 free spins on reels that only contain:
- Scatter Symbols: Leaves Special frames around reel positions that hold multiplier values in a range that can be upgraded as the bonus game progresses.
- Spin +1: Grants an additional free spin.
- Spin +2: Grants 2 additional free spins.
- Spin +3: Grants 3 additional free spins.
- Piggie Symbol: These reward nothing.
The idea is to spin the reels to land scatter symbols that create multiplier wins on the reel positions. Each time a scatter lands in a special frame already in a position, it upgrades the position’s multiplier value to one in the next level range. The multiplier levels and ranges are:
- Level 1: 0.1x, 0.3x, 0.5x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x, and 3x.
- Level 2: 0.5x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 8x, Mini Jackpot (10x).
- Level 3: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 8x, Mini (10x), Mini x2 (20x), 25x, 30x, 40x, Minor (50x).
- Level 4: 3x, 4x, 5x, 8x, Mini (10x), Mini x2 (20x), 25x, 30x, 40x, Minor (50x), Major (150x).
- Level 5: 5x, 8x, Mini (10x), Mini x2 (20x), 25x, 30x, 40x, Minor (50x), Major (150x), 200x, 500x.
- Level 6: 8x, Mini (10x), Mini x2 (20x), 25x, 30x, 40x, Minor (50x), Major (150x), 200x, 500x, Grand (1,500x).
If one position has been upgraded to the max and another scatter lands, another random position is upgraded by one level. If all positions are upgraded and a Scatter of Spin +1/+2/+3 symbol lands, you win a 10x the stake instant prize. The feature continues until you run out of free spins, at which point you receive the values of all framed positions.
Super Free Spins
The other free spins bonuses work the same as above, but the scatter symbols have additional powers.
- Mega Free Spins Bonus (Red): The scatter symbol is replaced by Big Symbol Scatters of 2×2, 3×3, or 5×3. This upgrades all framed positions it lands upon by one level.
- Mega Free Spins Bonus (Blue): The scatter symbol is converted into a Running Scatter. When it lands, it runs to the right across its row, upgrading all framed positions it passes through.
- Super Free Spins Bonus: The scatter symbol is converted into a Max Level Scatter. Each position it lands upon is automatically upgraded to level 6.
Pros
- Some great bonus games featuring upgradable position multipliers up to 1,500x the stake.
- Heaps of features to trigger and explore.
Cons
- The base game could be seen as a little lacklustre.
The Pig House Slot Review Final Thoughts
Well, I have to start by saying that there's a whole heap of features going on in The Pig House slot, with each bonus game offering plenty of potential, especially those with upgraded scatter symbols.
Admittedly, the base game is lacking a touch, but once you get fortunate on the Lucky Wheel, things can change very quickly in your favour.
