Piggy Fortunes Slot

Three little pigs, three little piggies, and that incredibly strong wolf that can blow a house down! Gees, I can't even blow my laptop to fall to the floor! Ah well, it's only a fairy tale. A good lovable laughable story for small little kids. For adults like me, oh please, give me something more matured and more interesting please, like the game Piggy Riches from NetEnt, for example. Now that's what I call a good game for us adults. Not a game about a wolf that can blow concrete houses down with a single blow. I can accept games about fairies in the forest, or about Leprechauns with their pots of gold, or even about witches brewing up whatever it is in their cauldrons, but a wolf with a blow stronger than Superman's? Oh, come on!

The Wolf is the Wild symbol, 5 of which pays nothing. What? Again? Well, you know who to blame. Why use a Wild symbol that has no value for itself, I can never understand. It substitutes for other symbols except for the Scatter symbol, and that's all it does in the base game.1 It cannot even double any wins with it. An absolutely dumb Wild symbol! The Pigs is the Scatter symbol, 5 of which pay the usual 100x total bet amount. Getting 3 or more of these Scatters trigger The Big Bad Wolf Feature, a Free Spins game in other words. The Houses pay from 36x to 12x the total bet amount, and the rest pay from 6x to 4x the total bet amount, all for 5 of each kind. What a very low paytable indeed!

In the Big Bad Wolf Feature game, whenever the Wolf lands adjacent to any house, it will blow all the same houses down. Yep, I told you this Wolf is stronger than Superman. With just one blow, this Wolf can destroy all of the same houses. Not even Superman can do that, but that's another story. Any wins with the Wolf Wild symbol gets paid either 2x, 3x or 4x, depending on which house type has been blown down. Whenever 3 or more Piggies Scatter symbols appear on the reels, the Piggies would randomly rebuilt one house type that has been blown down. The feature game ends when all houses have been blown down.

How do I like that Big Bad Wolf Feature game? Hmm. If I honestly say what's in my mind, this review may get banned! Hahaha. The feature game is like a dish of sour cream for me. I hate sour cream, I cannot eat it, but others simply love it. That tells how I like the feature game. Not only does the feature game pays poorly, I had to wait for more than 300 spins each time before I could get a feature game. That is totally unacceptable to me, because this game is not a high variance game, and the feature game shouldn't take 300 to 600 spins like it did for me. All I could see was my credits going down the drain continuously down to zero! What the argh!

I used to love the fairy tale “The three little pigs” when I was growing up and now I love this game too. Piggy fortunes is definitely my new favourite game. This is 5 reels and 25 pay lines slot powered by Microgaming software.

I triggered the free spins very fast. This feature is called the Big Bad Wolf. The wolf on an active pay line turns into a multiplier. The three houses have to be destroyed by the wolf so this feature sometimes can take awhile. The house needs to be next to the wolf to be blown away. Each house offers a multiplier, so the brick house is x 4, the wood house is x3 and the straw house is x2.

When I played this slot I found that the free spins are coming very often. The first time I triggered the feature I won 80.20 euros. 12 spins later I triggered the feature again. This time I got 13.60 euros. The bonus round might seem confusing at first because you do not see how many free spins you have. And it seems that the wolf has to destroy all 3 houses so the bonus round will end. In the third bonus I got 55.80 and the wolf destroyed the houses in just couple of spins but it paid well though. 2 spins later I triggered the bonus again. I do not know if that was my luck or the game is like that always, but I will have to try it again for sure. This time I got 80.80. I just could not stop playing this game. At this point I won 200 euros in total in just less than 200 spins. In the next bonus round I won 114.60. When I got only 16.40 I felt that this way the game was telling me that it was time to go. I still had 300 euros plus on my balance.

Piggy fortunes was created by microgaming in 2013 year. This game was played by me since it was just released only few times, because i think it is terrible video slot. The game feature 25 paylines, and wild appear here everywhere, but unfortunately did not have payout at all, biggest payout here is really something sad - 100 x total bet for 5 scatters, and something like x 30 or x 40 for best 5 of a kind, which is really looks bad.

Slot played well and designed well, sounds also good, i can't complain here, but seriously it is interesting to play the game for someone with max win in base game for 5 scatters and it is only x 100 total bet. I try this game only probably 3 times, and come on, i trigger more than 10 features and never had more than 100 x total bet, this is really looks terrible and boring, no?

Feature here triggered by 3+ scatters and can be very long, feature playing till big bad wolf destroy 3 piggy houses. If he destroy one, and then 3 scatters will appear, they will repair one house. By the way for different destroyed houses big bad wolf get multiplier, and this is up to x 4. I never had feature more than x 100 total bet multiplier, and i really did not know what about microgaming developers create such boring and not interesting slot, which will not pay anything good. I am 100% sure that i will never play this terrible game again, it is really not interesting and generally did not make sense, why game eat money and nothing give back, someone like such video slots? I am sure answer is no.

I rate this slot with two stars, it is boring low variance game, but apart from many other low variance games, this one just eat money without stopping. Better stay away from this game.

Piggy Fortune's is a reincarnation of the old fairy tale story, "The three Little Pigs". The little ones have there side in the form of a story...read by a storyteller lady while we adults get the adult version of the fairy tale, in video slot gambling form!! It's a normal 25 paylines paying nicely that I have gotten a few 5 of a kind wins that resulted for $4.50 and some for $6.60. Kings and Queens were most of what I hit most followed by 3 small house combinations.

The free spins is a classic "blowing down the houses by the wolf" called the Big Bad Wolf Feature! The free spins don't have a multiplier yet until one of the 3 houses get destroyed by the wolf. The houses have to be beside the wolf to get blown to bits! The good news about it is each destroyed house grants a multiplier when the wolf wild is in a combination but not for the overall free spins. The brick house is for 4x, the wood house for 3x and the least of everything, the straw house for 2x. The multiplier is applied when the wolf appears which does have a big disadvantage in trying to blow other houses down! On my $0.75 triggering bet my total won me $22.50. Usually, when I'm luckier it is around $40. I wanted the free spins to keep going but none of the pigs rebuilt any of the destroyed houses!

I find triggering the Big Bad Wolf Feature to be moderately hard and when inside the unlimited free spins I only had one spin where 2 scattered pigs were on the brink to repair one of my broken houses once the 3rd pigs scatter came out but....it didn't appear! What I wanted to see are more scattered pigs to extend the life of the free spins because from what I have been seeing, the Big Bad Wolf destroys each of the 3 houses while no pigs were trying to repair them.

The feature was in need of balance, destroying and repairing so that each side will be scaling! Oh and by the way, how is it that the Wolf destroys the brick house in one blow!? At least 2 or 3 tries in blowing this brick house down would be sufficient for a feature like this and really, I find that even one breath alone can't take out a brick house. It would some good explosives or a helicopter crashing into one!
