Big Bad Wolf

There’s an endless supply of storylines available when it comes to creating online slots themes, and game developers Quickspin have hit on a goldmine with their retelling of fairy tales as adult slots adventures. They’ve developed popular games around the narratives of Pied Piper, Rapunzel, Mighty Arthur and even the Hall of the Mountain King, but they’ve also proven you don’t have to be afraid of the baddies in these stories: their most-popular slot in this genre is Big Bad Wolf, a reimagining of the story of the Three Little Pigs.

This 5-column, 3-row, 25-payline video slot has loads of amusing angles, including Swooping Reels, Pigs Turn Wild, and Free Spins with a Blowing Down the House feature. It has even spawned two sequel titles, such is this game’s popularity. Read on with Wildz Casino to find out why.

Design

The graphic design treatment in Quickspin games has earned them the distinction of being easy to recognise. They’ve mastered the skill of bringing a cartoonish element into a slots environment without making it seem like a child’s game. All the same, many of their titles have this style of design that has all the appeal of the characters adult players knew as children. Big Bad Wolf is no exception - who can forget this character from their childhood: the greedy wolf salivating over the idea of enjoying the friendly pig characters for supper! Each of the pigs in this game comes with their own personality, just like the story.

The game itself takes place in the house of straw, waiting for players to huff and puff to reveal some rewards. There are fields surrounding the house and it’s apparent that this is a farm, with agricultural equipment lying around. The basic symbols are the playing cards, 10, J, Q, K and A, while each pig has their own symbol. The game’s Wild is a beehive and the wolf himself plays the role of Scatter symbol. The soundtrack is as light and airy as the images.

Gameplay

This is a cascading symbols-styled slot in which the symbols drop down from above rather than spinning on reels. Wins come with combinations (from left to right) of these symbols which then disappear to be replaced by other symbols in respin fashion, creating even more potential wins.

Swooping Reels & Pigs Turn Wild

The beehive performs the role of Wild, but Big Bad Wolf has another Wild option - when the Pigs Turn Wild feature kicks in. This joins with the Swooping Reels feature to create an entertaining bonus that can produce great wins, since every pig can become a Wild symbol. Any win counts as a swoop, two consecutive wins turns the pig symbol into a Wild - you need two wins in two spins to transform a pig.

Another two successful swoops for a total of 4 consecutive wins and a second pig turns into a Wild symbol. Six consecutive wins will result in all three pigs acting as Wild symbols add they remain this way until a respin occurs without a winning combination. This gives the potential of having 4 different Wild symbols on the reels at once! That’s pretty exciting to see, as you can imagine!

Big Bad Wolf Free Spins

You don’t need to be afraid of the Big Bad Wolf, in this game, he ushers in the Free Spins round. Land 3 Big Bad Wolf Wilds Scatters and you get 10 Free Spins. The wolf will then blow on the straw house taking you to the Free Spins house. Land another 3 wolves for another 10 Free Spins in this round! For every combo you obtain, you get a moon symbol in the moon meter - score three to get 2 more Free Spins! Collect 6 moons to scoop +2 additional spins and a 2x multiplier on every subsequent winning spin.

Both the Swooping Reels and Pigs Turn Wild features are active during the Free Spins round. With re-falls awarded after each win, the 10 Free Spins can easily turn into 20 or more respins in this round.

High Volatility

This is a high volatility slot, so players need lots of patience between wins, although the wins may be larger when they come. You also need a decent bankroll and to be prepared for the risks involved. The biggest wins are usually in the Free Spins round. With both special features active during this round, and the potential of winning more Free Spins, this is where almost anything can happen!

The theoretical Return-to-Player of this game is 97.34%, a figure far above average. This means that for every €100 wagered, the game returns, theoretically, €97.34 back to the players. Please note that this is the average for all spins; you still run the risk of ensuring long winless streaks.

Big Bad Wolf On Mobile

You can enjoy this game on a desktop PC or a mobile device such as a smart phone or tablet, since Quickspin has designed Big Bad Wolf to be optimised for mobile. All the features will be in place no matter how you opt to play this slots game.

The Verdict

Quickspin has created a popular slots title that’s an excellent example of a cascading symbols-style slot. Not only can you see how this format works in action, you get to enjoy all of the features as well as a chance to win some great rewards, if you’re lucky. The stylisation is quite charming and everything works seamlessly, as it should.- You may need to be as patient as a hungry wolf if you’re holding out for the generous bonus rounds, but you should be fine as long as you keep an eye on your bankroll. Free Spins, respins and multipliers can make it all worth your while.

It’s not the latest or slickest slots experience but it remains a popular, engaging game with a wide audience, so much so that you can also enjoy spinoff titles Big Bad Wolf Megaways and even Big Bad Wolf Christmas!
