Fans of the Big Bad Wolf series will find a lot to love in this instalment. All of the character and fun of the previous releases shine through in the beautifully illustrated setting, to create a thoroughly pleasant and amusing experience. As well as being a good looker, the gameplay has plenty to offer. It can initially be difficult to keep track of the Piggy Wilds and frame-protected Pigs, but once you are up to speed, that dual mechanic provides frequent thrills. The bonus round then ranges from the solid standard version to the excellent piggy overload of Ultra Free Spins. Overall, the variable RTP holds this back a little, but that’s a small quibble about an otherwise top-class release.

Big Bad Wolf: Pigs Of Steel Slot Features

Tool Box Wilds

May appear on any reel and substitute for all standard symbols to help create winning combos. Tool Box Wilds pay 3x, 15x, and 40x for three, four, or five-in-a-row.

Tumble Wins

Any time you land a win, all winning symbols blow off the grid. The remaining symbols then fall to the bottom of the reels, with new icons dropping in to fill the gaps. This process repeats for every winning combo, creating the possibility of exciting chain-reaction wins!

Piggy Wilds

Tumble Wins may also transform Piggy symbols into Piggy Wilds. One Piggy type will be turned Wild for every two tumbles during a sequence as follows:

Two Tumbles: Red Pigs turn wild
Four Tumbles: Green Pigs turn wild
Six Tumbles: Blue Pigs turn wild

Which Pigs are Wild can be tracked on a meter above the grid. All Pigs then reset to standard symbols at the end of each tumble sequence.

Pigs of Steel

This Modifier feature is triggered whenever Piggy symbols are removed from the grid having featured in a win.

Removing three Piggy Symbols will result in all Pigs gaining a Steel Frame. This frame protects them from disappearing as part of a tumble. Instead, they will remain in view for the first tumble before being removed after the second tumble.

Removing six Piggy Symbols will see all Pigs given a Double Strength Frame, meaning they can remain in play for two tumbles before being removed on the third.

Keeping more Pigs on the screen is a good thing, as it increases your chances of landing an oink-tastic high-value Pig win.

Pigs of Steel progress is tracked by a meter above the reels, with the meter resetting to zero at the end of each tumble sequence.

Big Bad Wolf: Pigs Of Steel Slot Bonus Features

Free Spins Bonus

Big Bad Wolf Symbols serve as the game's Scatters and may send you howling into one of three Free Spins Bonuses, each of which grants 10 free spins.

Bonus Game – Awarded for Three Scatters

Plays out in the same way as the base game with the addition of a winning multiplier, which begins at 1x. Big Bad Wolf Scatters are removed for the round, whilst new Moon symbols are added. Moon symbols are collected in a third meter above the grid and may trigger a couple of bonus round boosts:

Collect three Moon Symbols: Doubles the winnings multiplier and adds two free spins to your tally
Collect six Moon Symbols: Doubles the winnings multiplier again and adds another two spins to your tally

Super Bonus Game – Awarded for Four Scatters

Operates in the same way as the standard Bonus Game, but the winnings multiplier begins at x2, and the Pigs of Steel Meter does not reset between spins.

Ultra Bonus Game – Awarded for Five Scatters

This time, the winnings multiplier begins at x3. Neither the Pigs of Steel Meter nor the Piggy Wild Meter resets between spins.

Bonus Buy Feature

For those wishing to move straight into the feature, two Bonus Buy options are available:

Bonus Round: Priced at 60x the total bet
Super Bonus Round: Priced at 240x the total bet

Bonus Buy is only available in eligible jurisdictions – not available to UK players.

Our Verdict At three Scatters, the bonus round doesn’t feel like much of an upgrade on the base game. However, the four and five Scatter rounds really ramp up the excitement and big win potential. The Ultra Bonus Game, in particular, creates the possibility of excellent multipliers and a screen overloaded with high-paying Pigs.

Big Bad Wolf: Pigs Of Steel Slot RTP & Volatility

RTP	Variable RTP	Volatility
96.14%	Yes	High

The top-end Return to Player (RTP) percentage of 96.14% is the tip of a pig's curly tail above the industry-average RTP of 96%.

This Big Bad Wolf takes up residence in the high volatility sector of the slots woods. You should expect your fair share of ups and downs, but on the plus side, games of this rating provide a better chance of landing a big win in a short session than low-medium-volatility releases.

Our Verdict At 96.14%, this game represents solid value for money. However, you should note that alternative, lower settings of 94.19%, 92.07%, and 87.15% are also available. We always recommend consulting the information section of the game to discover the setting in use at your online casino of choice. With that ravenous Wolf on their tails for centuries, those Pigs must be used to leading a volatile existence by now. As such, the high-volatility rating feels like a good fit for the theme.

Big Bad Wolf: Pigs Of Steel Slot Graphics & Audio

Graphics

Our pink chums have set up camp in what looks to be a tranquil part of the countryside. The skies are blue, the grass is green and windmills twirl in the background. There’s always someone waiting to shatter the peace though, and, true to form, the Big Bad Wolf hops onto the roof when the Bonus Round begins and promptly blows the house down - as all self-respecting Big Bad Wolves like to do. The Pigs and Wolf carry the theme onto the grid, whilst even the playing card values slot in nicely thanks to their wooden twist.

Big Bad Wolf Pigs of Steel (Quickspin) 1 — Base Game Spins

Big Bad Wolf Pigs of Steel (Quickspin) 2 — Wins in the base game

Big Bad Wolf Pigs of Steel (Quickspin) 3 — Scatter symbol on the reels

Big Bad Wolf Pigs of Steel (Quickspin) 4 — High value symbols form a win

Audio

The audio team have created a soothing soundtrack perfectly in keeping with the rural vibe. Birds tweet and chirp whilst strings gently pluck away, suggesting a quiet stroll across the landscape. There is, however, an underlying tension to those strings, and we find out just why when the Wolf roars into life, seeing the ambient noise reach a more frenzied pace. The reel effects fall towards the gentler edge of the spectrum, with their soft thuds and light electronic flourishes.

Our Verdict Quickspin are well-acquainted with this fairytale setting, and that experience shows in a game which oozes charm. The audio and visuals are as high-end as you would expect from this developer, whilst the cut-screens and animations add a healthy dose of humour to the mix.

Quickspin has ensured that desktop players and mobile slot fans can help keep the Wolf at bay. Big Bad Wolf: Pigs Of Steel is fully optimised for small-screen devices. Whether you are an Android, iOS, or Windows user, you will find all the gameplay and features intact.
