Greedy Wolf Slot – Free Demo

A wolf, three pigs and 20 fixed lines

The studio's slot is a tale of a wolf and three small pigs, and Greedy Wolf is driven by Pragmatic Play. Other takes on the same fairy tale include Big Bad Wolf from Quickspin and Three Little Pigs from KA Gaming. It is a 5x4 slot run across 20 fixed paylines. The wild stands in for every pay symbol except the scatter. Wins are attained by aligning symbols from left to right. Every win has to begin on the leftmost reel and continue across adjacent reels.

The slot is crammed to the brim with mechanics. An optional Ante Bet raises the stake by 25%. It can provide a full spectrum of features during play which comprises an expanding wolf wild, extra wilds with respins and a guaranteed win. All three base game features are triggered at random. There is also a free spins round with upgrading houses with capacity to secure rewards, and the houses pay random prizes at the end. The better the house built during the round, the higher the prize it reveals.

Greedy Wolf is a fairy-tale piece, and symbols on the reels encompass pigs and the Big Bad Wolf. The pigs come in straw, wood and brick versions, alongside trowel and hammer symbols and the letters J, Q, K and A. The latter is the top-paying symbol. Three Big Bad Wolves on a payline return 2 times the stake, and four return 10 times. It grants you 20 times your stake for a 5 of a kind combo, while the wild gives 25 times your stake should you secure 5 of a kind. Each of the three pigs pays 10 times the stake for five of a kind.

Pigs turn into wolves on reel 3

Greedy Wolf is as mechanic-laden as current slots arrive these days. So hang on to your cap as I plunge straight into them all. Across my 360 spins, 75 paid something and 40 of those paid less than the stake.

Three mechanics can enter into play in the base game:

Greedy Wolf Wild - a completely stacked, expanding wolf can randomly land on reel 3. It transforms every pig in sight into a wolf. All wins are counted after that transformation, so stacked wolves can end up covering the left reels as well.

3 Little Pigs Wilds and Respins - wilds are appended to reels 1 to 3. Any wins are paid first, and then the wolf tries to blow the wilds away. The wolf either puffs them one spot right for a respin, or it puffs them all away, concluding the series. Wins are paid after every respin, which carries on until no wilds are left on the reels.

Guaranteed Win - the wolf puffs the symbols away on a random non-paying spin. Fresh ones fall for a win of at least 20 times your wager, or sufficient scatters for free spins. My biggest base game hit came on spin 35, a win of 91 times the stake that took the balance to its session peak.

Straw, wood, brick, castle

Lastly, there is the Free Spins game. My first trigger came on spin 8, and the second took another 218 spins to arrive. It enters into play when 6 scatters arrive, or 5 with the Ante Bet, and beginning with 6 spins, the scatter spots receive frames that upgrade from straw to wood to brick to castle as scatters arrive on them again. Neither of my two rounds retriggered, so both ran for the base 6 spins. Furthermore, 1, 2 or 4 spins are appended to your count when 3, 4 or 5 scatters arrive, and medium-high volatility, wins are capped at 3,000 times your stake. Reaching that cap during the free spins ends the feature straight away.

Final Minty Score: 97.0% back over 360 spins, and the second house round alone paid 91 times the stake. Without that one, the wolf would have eaten a good deal more of the balance than he did.

Two house rounds in 360 spins

Having granted the game 360 spins of my focus, I observed the free spins activate twice. The first one paid 10 times my stake from the houses. The houses returned 91 times my stake on the second one. The session finished at a 97.0% return, with the two rounds accounting for 29% of everything won and the longest dry run lasting 27 spins.
