How Big Bad Wolf plays
Swooping Reels clear winning symbols for new ones to fall, and every second consecutive swoop turns one of the three pig symbols wild, so six swoops make all three wild. Three bonus scatters award 10 free spins in which moon symbols on the last reel add spins, blow down the pigs' houses and can bring a x2 multiplier.
Theme: Three Little Pigs fairy tale. Filed under Fantasy and fairy tale, Animals and nature.
Features in this game
- Cascading reels: After a win, the winning symbols are removed and new ones fall into the gaps, giving another chance to win from the same stake.
- Multipliers: A value such as ×2 or ×10 applied to a win, a spin or a whole feature, multiplying the amount paid.
- Symbol upgrades: A feature that turns lower-paying symbols into higher-paying ones, or removes low symbols, for the rest of a spin or bonus.
- Free spins: A bonus round of spins played at no extra cost, usually triggered by scatter symbols and often with extra features.
What the figures mean
An RTP of 97.34% is a long-run average across millions of spins. It works out at a house edge of 2.66%, so every £100 staked costs £2.66 on average. A session of 200 spins at £1 stakes £200, and the expected cost of that session is £5.32, although the real result will usually land a long way either side. Work out your own figures.
The provider rates volatility as 4.24 (1-5). That describes how winnings are spread: higher volatility means longer runs with little back and rarer, larger wins. It does not change the average. More on volatility, or see it in a simulation.
