Gameplay and Theme
This Megaways title retains the charm of the original slot, now enhanced with refined graphics depicting country living. The base game is set in the first piggy’s house of straw, creating an engaging atmosphere. The highest paying symbol is the animated wolf, positioned to the right of the reels, reacting to the game’s events. Medium symbols include the three pigs in various outfits, alongside tools like a trowel and a brick, while the lower symbols are the usual playing card suits. The full moon acts as the Scatter, and the hammer and wrench as the Wild symbol, along with special Piggy Wild symbols.
Tumbling Reels and Piggy Wilds
The game’s standout feature is the Tumbling Reels, where winning symbols are blown away, making room for new ones. This can lead to repeat wins and continues as long as winning combinations are formed. The Piggy Wild feature, where a pig turns wild for every second Tumbling Reel win, adds an extra layer of excitement. These wilds land only on reels 2 to 5 and revert to regular symbols in new spins.
