Slot Features
The most important part in any slot would be the features it has to offer and how action-oriented it is, so let’s just move down to that part and see what this one has to offer.
As you might have suspected, the wrinkly Pug is the Wild symbol, and it can act as a substitute for all other symbols in the game, except for the other Wilds and the Scatter. During the base game Wild appears only on reels 2, 3 and 4, but during the Free Spins, it can appear only on reels 2 and 4.
Scatter symbol can trigger Free Spins feature, but for it to be able to that, you will need a certain number of Scatters. Besides that, the symbol can form Scatter wins when you hit a win line with 5 or more scatters.
Reelfecta
The middle box is considered to be the reel 3 which is actually the Reelfecta reel, and it is comprised out of 16 individual positions, and each symbol can be used only one per combination.
Bone Multiplier
When the Bone Multiplier 1 appears on the reels, it will become x2, x3 or x4 Wild Bone Multiplier for any combination it’s substituting in. The Bone Multiplier 1 can appear only on reel two. These Multipliers are also active during both the Free Spins and the Mega Spin.
Bones 2, 3 and 4 are Wilds and they substitute for all the symbols in the game except for the Scatter and Wilds. The Bone Multipliers do no multiply the Scatter wins.
Free Spins
Bonus Scatter appear on the outer positions of the reel 3 Reelfecta reel, and you will need 5 of them to trigger the Free Spins feature.
During each spin, starting at the top left corner, and moving clockwise on the outer positions of the Reelfecta reel, a specific reel will display either a +1 Wild Pug or Bomb symbol. If a Wild Pug appears, the Gold Pug will be locked in and award an extra Free Spins, and it can go up to a maximum of 12 spins.
Bomb will not appear during the first 3 spins. However, if it appears at any other point in the game, it will end the feature and award a x2 total bet amount. If you lock all 12 Gold Pug symbols, you will trigger the Mega Spin.
Mega Spin
Mega Spin will expand to cover all 16 positions on reel 3 Reelfecta reel making all 16 positions Wild. Free Spins end upon the conclusion of Mega Spin. Different bonus reels are used during each Free Spin and Mega Spin. Free Spins and Mega Spin are played at the triggering bet.
Summary
Overall, Astro Pug looks like a decent game, with interesting features but not so high winning potential. We are not sure that high rollers would enjoy playing it. Theme is definitely unusual, as well as some features, but you should definitely give it a spin and see what type of gaming experience you can get from it.
