Usually, there’s not a lot of love going round for the famous children’s story character the Big Bad Wolf. When his name is announced, it is usually accompanied by boo’s and hisses and in the famous story of the 3 Little Pigs, he is not only responsible for dwelling destruction, but usually ends up in a boiling pot at the end of the story.

So, in a break with tradition, the new Piggy Fortunes Video Slot, casts the somewhat unfortunate Big Bad Wolf in a new light, and it may well be a more profitable one for some lucky players.

The brand new Piggy Fortunes Video Slot from Microgaming offers a new take on this famous old tale. The 5-reel, 25-payline game offers users the chance to win up to 31,000 coins on a single spin, with wagers ranging from 0.01 to 0.20 per line.

Gameplay is simple yet addictive and based on the premise of the story. As well as the usual winning lines, the three pigs themselves act as the Scatter symbols within the game and they serve as the trigger to begin the Big Bad Wolf feature.

Once you have activated 3,4 or 5 of these, the free spins then begin, which sees the Big Bad Wolf reveal multipliers by blowing down the pigs homes.

Don’t fret too much though as once a pig lands on screen again, he’ll rebuild his home and thus players can continue to generate free spins and other features to keep their winning streak in the game going.

Piggy Fortunes is a great game for both novice and experienced slot fans alike, the graphics are clear and amusing, the music enjoyable rather than twee and the gameplay simple, yet involved enough to attract the higher-stakes slot player. It is a game without the need for excessive huff and puff and it will certainly blow you away!
