Big Bad Wolf Christmas Special is a seasonal version of Quickspin’s original slot Big Bad Wolf which became an instant hit back in 2013.
The three Cheeky little pigs are back in this festive addition, the theme and characters are similar but this time everything is snow covered with touches of Christmas spirit in the shape of ribbons and twinkling Christmas lights.
About Big Bad Wolf Christmas Special
The 5 reels sit in the same wooden frame with a snow-covered barrel of apples to the side. The slot is available to play on desktop, mobile and tablet device from 25p up to £100 per spin. The game is medium volatility and an excellent RTP of 97.35%, this played a huge part in the success of the original game so I’m pleased to see they decided to keep the original gameplay.
The usual Royals are the lower pay scale symbols, the three pigs and a cuddly toy act as the medium value symbols, landing 5 awards between 8 and 12x your stake.
The beehive symbol is the wild, this substitutes all symbols barring the Wolf scatter and Moon symbol. The Wild has a value attached if you land 2, or 5 awards 40x your bet.
Gameplay
The original slot is packed with features all of which help trigger the next, these include the Swooping Reels, then the Pigs Turn Wild, on to the Free Spins and finally the Blow The hose Down Feature.
The Swooping Reels as they were known back then are now commonly known as Cascading reels. When winning combination land the symbols fall away and new ones replace them, hopefully creating more wins. This continues until no more wins are found.
Little touches in the game are reminiscent of Christmas, the Wolf on the Scatter now wears a Santa hat. Land 3 or more and you get 10 free spins plus 3x your stake. During the free spins a Moon symbol appears on the last reel. Once three are collected the Wolf blows down the house, this awards 2 free spins. Collect 6 moons for 2 free spins and a 2x multiplier is applied to any win in the feature.
Conclusion
It’s good to see after the huge success of the original title, Quickspin have decided not to step too far away from the original design and theme. The addition of the snow and Christmas decorative items adds to the festive spirit.
Using the cascading reels adds to the excitement of the game, it’s a feature that’s still appearing today in many new online slots. If you love the fairytale story of the three pigs and the big bad wolf then you’ll love this slot, it’s fun and entertaining with plenty of engaging features.
The win potential could be the one thing that may disappoint a few big players as the maximum you can win is 1,200x your bet.
