We all have fairytales that we remember and love, and the tale of the three little pigs is one of the most popular. Big Bad Wolf by Quickspin brings a much-loved childhood story to the reels, with the cartoon-style three pigs and the wolf appearing as symbols on a house-shaped grid with rolling hills in the background. You will get to huff and puff and blow your way to winnings worth over $150k from just one spin.

Spin the reels, change your bet, speed up your spins, and use Autoplay using the controls below the reels. There are also buttons that let you open the gameplay options and the paytable.
The paytable is filled with charming storybook-style illustrations as symbols. The lower-value symbols are wooden card royals. 10 and J pay 3x your stake for five on a payline, while Q, K, and A pay 4x.
The higher-value symbols are the three little pigs and a stuffed toy. The stuffed pig pays 8x your stake for five on a payline, the brick house and wood house pigs pay 10x, and the straw house pig pays 12x.
The wild symbol stands in for any other symbol except the scatter and pays 40x your stake for five on a payline.
Big Bad Wolf uses a payline system, meaning you get wins when matching symbols land from left to right on any of the 25 fixed paylines. The Swooping Reels mechanic will remove winning symbol combinations from the grid and replace them with new symbols from above. This means that you could get several wins from a single spin.
The bonus features in Big Bad Wolf include multi-level free spins round and sticky wilds.
For every 2 Swooping Reels wins that you land, one of the pig symbols will be turned into a sticky wild symbol until you run out of Swooping Reels wins. This means that you could end up turning all three pig symbols into sticky wilds and put yourself in a position to get huge wins.
Landing three or more wolf scatter symbols anywhere on the reels will get you 10 free spins.
During free spins, you will see special moon symbols that activate the Blowing Down the House feature. The moons only appear on reel five, and as you collect them, the wolf blows down the pig’s houses and moves to the next stage of the bonus.
Collect three moon symbols to blow down the wooden house and get two extra free spins. Collect six moon symbols to blow down the brick house and get two extra free spins with a 2x multiplier.
The maximum win potential in Big Bad Wolf is 1,225x your bet.
RTP, or return to player, is the theoretical, statistical percentage of player bets that a slot is expected to return as winnings over time. The97.34% RTP gives you an above-average chance of getting a fair return on your bets, and the game’s medium volatility means you should get about as many winning spins as losing ones.
Big Bad Wolf is an amazing-looking slot with graphics and animations that have aged very well. There is no constant soundtrack, but you do get some very cool sound effects and little tunes when you land a win or trigger a bonus feature.
Like the pig in the brick house, you should be prepared for anything. Play the free demo of Big Bad Wolf today and use the free credits to get all the experience you need to have a great time when you play with real money.
Slots with a fairytale theme appeal to our inner children and give us a sense of nostalgia while putting us in the mood to have fun and win big prizes.
Beanstalk Bonanza tells the tale of Jack and the Beanstalk while giving you the chance to win giant prizes with respins and multipliers. Enter a world of magical mayhem in Alice in Wildland and boost your potential with multiplier wilds. An all-star cast of fairytale characters steal the show in Wish Upon a Jackpot, a slot with unlimited free spins and game-changing modifiers.
Big Bad Wolf Slot is a cult classic and still looks great over a decade after its release. The graphics and animations are as amusing as ever, and the Pigs Turn Wild bonus feature would give many modern bonuses a run for their money. My favourite part is the combination of sticky wilds and the Swooping Reels mechanic that can create the perfect winning storm. Collecting moons during free spins will give you the precious multiplier you need to claim the big prize.
