Online slots fans had been holding their breath since Red Tiger Gaming announced the release of their new Piggy Pirates online slots game in September. But unlike the Big, Bad Wolf, they won’t be huffing and puffing and trying to blow the Piggies’ house down, as this time the three little pigs have turned to a life of piracy on the high seas. And the Big, Bad Wolf had better watch out, or he’s going to have his treasure plundered!
This little piggy went to sea
The three little pigs didn’t waste too much time in crying over the loss of their houses built from straw and sticks. In this innovative and appealing online slots game, they’ve clearly sold their house of bricks and invested their cash in a pirate ship, on which they’ve sailed to the shores of a tropical island. They've dropped anchor next to the ship belonging to their old foe, the wolf.
Cool graphics and cute animations raise this game above the usual crop of online slots games, so whether you’re a seasoned player or taking your first steps as a newbie, you’re guaranteed a rich and entertaining gaming experience as you help the cute little porkers to seize as much treasure as they can carry away in their pirate ship.
In this game, the wolf is clearly on the defensive. As the little pigs moor up alongside his ship, the wolf is sufficiently alarmed that he hurls a bomb into the water between the two ships, which creates the reels as it explodes.
A life on the ocean wave
As seagulls whirl and cry overhead, and waves gently break on the island’s shore, the stage is set for the showdown between the three little pigs and their arch-nemesis, the wolf. In the background, an accordion plays sea shanties, leaving you in no doubt as to your location on the high seas.
The format of the playing area is a fairly standard five-reels, each with four rows of symbols. Traditional playing card symbols are here reduced to suits, with the symbols for clubs, hearts, diamonds and spades depicted as though they were skull and crossbones flags, with crossed bones appearing behind them. Higher paying symbols are depicted as an anchor, a treasure map, a bottle of rum and a compass, a sack of coins and a treasure chest stuffed to bursting with precious stones and jewels.
Watch out for the little pigs themselves, as they can appear at any time anywhere on the reels, where they move across one reel per spin, awarding bonus points to winning lines. Sometimes a piggy will have a little snooze, remaining in one spot to increase your chances of a win, but once a pig reaches the final reel he’s got nowhere to go except down, falling into the ocean below with a mighty splash!
But if your luck’s in, all three pigs will appear simultaneously across the reels, triggering the bonus feature and the chance to increase your prize pot. During unlimited free spins, the pigs turn into piggy banks, devouring the Wild golden coins that only appear during this feature. The round only ends when the wolf appears, detonating a bomb to end the bonus feature. However, players still have one final chance to hit a major winning streak, as all the collected Wild coins are released across the reels with the potential to achieve a significant win.
Players are sure to be charmed by the graphics and gameplay of this endearing game, which may well lead them on a voyage to uncover other pig-themed slots games that they may have overlooked, such as NetEnt's Piggy Riches Slot, which also boasts great animations and cute pigs, although in NetEnt's Piggy Riches Slot the pigs have already found their source of treasure!
Created in HTML5, Piggy Pirates online slots game displays perfectly whether you’re playing at home on your desktop computer, or on the go on your tablet or smartphone. And with an RTP of 96.06%, players can be assured of achieving a decent return on their outlay if they choose to play with real cash.
