When Pigs Fly

When Pigs Fly is the newest video slot powered by NetEnt software provider. It is pretty similar to Reel Rush, so yeah this one is ˝another˝ clone game from NetEnt.

I tried it just yesterday when I got some free spins on it. The game has re-spins mode. A winning combination in any spin of the base game activates 1 respin, up to a max of 5 respins. With each respin the number of ways to win increases. At first respin you have 135 ways to win, at second 405, at third 675, at fourth 1125 and for fifth respin 1875 ways to win. A winning combination after the fifth respin activates 8 free spins and those free spins are played at 3125 ways.

I tried this video slot first at Royal Panda casino where I received 10 free spins on it. From those free spins I won around 6€. Well later I changed it to Dead or Alive where I spent those 6€. Just a few minutes later I went into Betchan casino where I also received 10 free spins. I was hoping for some better winnings on it. I had some luck because I triggered free spins and from those I won around 20€. Later my account was credited with this amount and I had to wager almost 900€ before I could request cash out. I decided to play it for a while since i triggered free spins very fast. Well after some time my balance falling down towards zero, but at the end I triggered free spins one more time. I won only around 10€ on them, so I was a little bit disappointing. The base game is ok, it could provide some descent winnings on last two respins where you have more ways to win.

Otherwise I think this is a good game. I like to play Reel rush sometimes, but I think I like this one a little bit more just because it has better theme. Hehe. I am sure I will play it again, because I want to get some big win from it. I will rate it with 7 stars.

Assuming its role as one of the leading companies in gambling software development industry, “NetEnt” is a company that always strives to create ever more innovative games even if it means departing from the proven parameters accepted by the vast majority of slots’ players.

In this case, its new slot “When Pigs Fly,” it has a very different structure from traditional slots since it goes transforming itself gradually after each re-spin awarded after each hit, offering better opportunities to the player as it is increasing the number of rows of each of the reels.

All this outpouring of creativity has resulted in a high-volatility video slot where to get the first hit at every turn is a little harder than normal, a condition that is alleviated to some extent by the dynamic flow of wild symbols on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Still, I feel that I personally have not managed to connect very well with this game, just from my first spin I have been subjected to an endless slump that never gave me a chance to even recover losses, the closest I was to do this it was on a couple of occasions where I could get a couple of big wins each equivalent to about 25x my total bet, and of course, these winnings were not enough to even get close to my starting point.

It is possible that an experienced player with a large capital may achieve to sustain his balance until getting a real big win; however, personally, I was immersed in a somewhat frustrating situation that will definitely not let me appreciate this game.

It can be said that to the present day this game is still totally fresh, so I consider prudent to give it the benefit of the doubt and hope that experiences of other players are much better than mine; for my part, I prefer to return to some traditional slots that I think have a better risk-benefit relation.
