Little Pigs Strike Back Online Slot Machine Review
Think about the story of the three little pigs and the big bad wolf and then bring it into a modern setting, and you’ll have a good idea about the theme of this slot. Here the pigs wear clothes and carry around a mobile phone. The three pigs are the central characters of this slot, each displaying their own personality. One pig is dressed in denim wears a cap and holds the mobile phone, another is decked out in green and wearing a green Stetson holding a ‘Wanted’ poster while the third has a checked shirt and a bowler hat showing off a police report – all wearing shoes with one large gap in the middle to signify the shape of a pig’s foot, which is a good comedic touch.
This slot is presented very impressively, the game having a modern feel, drawn in the style of an animated movie that might have been made by Pixar. The slot has some animation, mainly when the pigs themselves help form part of a win line, although most symbols simply expand and contract when winning. This slot has to be applauded by not having a number of playing card filler symbols, all of the symbols actually relevant to the slot. The sound at the slot is suitable but a little repetitive, but does perk up during the feature round and is much more upbeat.
The feature of the slot is a free spins round which you’ll activate with the scatter symbol.
Set up and Play for Little Pigs Strike Back
This slot has five reels with a total of 25 win lines, although unlike many slots, all 25 win lines are compulsory when playing. These wins are achieved by landing three or more of any symbol in a row from left to right on a win line, although the biggest wins are obviously reserved for when you can land 5 in a row. The hats worn by the pigs are the biggest paying symbols, the baseball cap paying out 500x your coin amount when landing 5 in a row, the green Stetson 400x and the orange bowler hat 300x. The other symbols in the game are the mobile phone, the ‘Wanted’ poster and the police report as well as the three different shoes worn by the pigs.
This slot has an auto play feature where you can set the game to play for up to 100 spins without interruption, although there is also an ‘until bonus’ option which might be the ideal option for many players.
One of the most interesting aspects of this slot is the wilds which are the three pigs themselves. These are all stacked so could take up an entire reel at any one time. Add to this the fact that there are three wilds and it means that, on occasions, much of the slot might be wild, making for both a large number of wins and big pay-outs too.
The only symbol not mentioned yet in this review is the scatter symbol, which is the policeman (with quite a moustache!). Land this three or more times to start the free spins feature.
Little Pigs Strike Back – Feature
In the free spins round you’ll gain either 10, 15 or 30 free spins, this dependent on whether you land the scatter symbol 3, 4 or 5 times. In this round the pig symbols acts slightly differently as Wilds. Should a pig land on any part of the reel, he will now expand to take up the entire reel, meaning many more wins during the free spins round.
Little Pigs Strike Back – Conclusion
The moment you first enter this game you’ll enjoy it. The game has a sense of fun to it and you’ll take to the symbols very quickly – the visuals at this game are a big step up on the majority of slots found online. However once you get used to the game, it’s a little disappointing that there are not more features – a simple free games round being the only feature in the game. With a theme like this there was a lot of scope to go much further, but sadly you’re left a little flat.
Players who enjoy a good looking slot without too many interruptions will be the biggest fans of this slot by Leander, but it’s not a slot that I’ll be rushing to return to.
