Play Astro Pug for Free

There’s a definite Oriental style to this slot game, which tops the reels off with a red pagoda roof and fills the screen with cartoon style koi fish, a jade monkey, red coin bag, and a boy holding a giant fortune cookie. These symbols are the higher-value ones, with standard playing card 9, J, Q, K, and A completing the lower-value combinations. It’s no accident that the ‘10’ symbol wasn’t on that list, so don’t go looking for it, as for some reason it’s not there.

Now we’re not looking to complicate things further for you, but the central 4x4 grid is called a ‘Reelfecta’ reel, which is made up of 16 individual symbol positions. Any of these symbols can be used only once in a winning combination, but it’s fairly easy for this to happen, so don’t worry too much about it. Put simply, it’s one giant central reel.

The pug is a wild symbol who only turns up on reels two, three, and four, but with reel three being the Reelfecta one, he’s quite likely to appear for you. The pug isn’t worth anything though and can’t act as the scatter symbol, or wild Bone Multiplier.

The Bone Multiplier is yet another innovative addition to the reels of the Astro Pug slot game, which our review experts say can add excitement to any spin. It only stops on reel two, but when you see it, it will spin on its own to become a 2x, 3x, or 4x multiplier that boosts the value of any combination it helps to complete.

It won’t substitute for the pug wild symbol, or some Chinese firecrackers, which are a feature-triggering scatter symbols.

The firecrackers can turn up in any of the outer positions of the Reelfecta reel, awarding free spins when at least five are seen. Like the rest of the Astro Pug video slot, the way that these work is unique, shared only with Astro Cat.

An unlimited number of bonus games are awarded and on the first spin, the wild pug symbol will appear in the top left corner of the Reelfecta reel. He then moves around the outer ring of this reel, one position at a time, in a clockwise direction for at least two more spins.

After this, either the pug will keep on appearing, or a bomb will appear, ending the free spins round and paying a consolation prize of twice the total bet.

However, if the ‘+1’ wild pug is seen, an extra spin is added on and a locked wild gold pug will stay in place for the rest of the round. If all 12 outer spots of the reel end up filled with gold pugs, a Mega Spin is awarded, with the entire Reelfecta reel filled with pugs to guarantee multiple winning combinations.

Make no bones about it, this is a fairly complicated slot machine, so test it out before playing for real cash, but our reviewers agree that it’s well worth taking time to understand the Astro Pug video slot.

You can play Astro Pug across desktop PC’s, iPhones, iPads, Android devices, and Windows smartphones or tablets from just 0,50 per spin. The high limit is set at 250.00, so gamblers have a wide bet range to choose from.

Other control options let you spin the reels over and over on autopilot for up to 100 times. You can also listen to a soothing Chinese-style soundtrack, which sounds really nice, against the soft clicking noise of the spinning reels.

It’s got a fairly high volatility, so you could be spinning these reels a few times before landing some wins, but with a generous return to player percentage of 95.73%, you can be sure that sooner or later, prizes will be coming your way. Our review team certainly found nothing complicated about the options open to you in the Astro Pug online slot.

If you’re more of a cat person than a dog lover, then the Astro Cat video slot is pretty much the same game, and few others have similar layouts or features than these two.

Another slot machine that stars a cute dog is Puggy Payouts, from Eyecon. This five-reel, 20-line slot is a much more conventional game, with a pawprint wild symbol that doubles the value of any line it completes, and a pug scatter symbol. This cute critter awards 15, 20, or 25 free games when it lands in three, four, or five places.

Don’t be put off by the unusual layout and features of the Astro Pug slot machine, as once you realize that the Reelfecta is just a big middle reel with 16 symbols on it, which our reviewers say won’t take long, the rest of the gameplay makes perfect sense.
