How to Play Karate Pig Slots

Set up your game by choosing how many active paylines you wish to have during play by clicking on the ‘lines’ button at the bottom of the screen. Next, select how many coins you wish to bet on each spin by clicking on the ‘coins’ button. The ‘Bet Max’ will automatically jump up your bet to the top and spin the reels for you once, otherwise you can select how much you want each coin to be worth by clicking the ‘+’ and ‘-‘ buttons next to the figures in the bottom left-hand corner of the game.

In the bottom right-hand corner of Karate Pig, you’ll see the red ‘spin’ button. If you want to use the autospin function you will need to change the game mode to ‘expert’ by clicking the tiny button underneath the ‘spin’ button which will add the ‘autoplay’ feature to the tools at the bottom of the screen.

In the same tiny bar underneath your general game controls there’s an ‘options' tab. This brings up a screen in which you can control features such as QuickSpin, sounds and balance displays to suit your preferred gameplay.

Karate Pig Game Volatility

We found Karate Pig to be a high variance online video slot, meaning that although you may trigger low wins at a reasonable frequency, the highest wins are a bit more elusive. That said, a hard-to-win prize tends to be the most valuable, so you can be confident there are some impressive payouts to be had here.

How To Win at Karate Pig Slots

Although Karate Pig is a fairly old Microgaming sot, the winning strategy is the same as most new Microgaming slots: you need to match three or more symbols along a payline, starting at the far left reel.

The wild symbol is the game’s logo and will replace any symbol other than the 2x scatter symbols to maximise your winning potential. Not only will the wild act as a substitute, but if you can find five wilds along a payline you’ll be rewarded with the game’s jackpot of 10,000 coins!

The lowest paying symbol is the Japanese bonsai tree, which will pay 25 coins for three in a row or 225 for 5x matching symbols. The highest paying symbol is the Karate Pig himself, who offers up to 3,750 coins if you’re able to match five of his symbols along a payline.

Karate Pig Bonus Features

As mentioned, there are two scatter symbols in Karate Pig, the first of which is the Gold Coin scatter. Find these symbols on reels one and five and unlock 15 free spins with a 2x multiplier throughout the bonus game. With a potential top prize of 80,000 coins in this round, there’s plenty of winning potential here!

The second scatter is the Bonus Pig. Find 3, 4 or 5 Bonus Pig scatters anywhere on the reels and you’ll be given two options to choose from: the Pork Chop Bonus or the Hammer Bonus. These are both ‘pick me’ games where you need to pick from six options to win a cash prize and give the Karate Pig a chance to show off one of his many skills.

With every Bonus Pig game, you’ll be given a karate belt and a chance to earn the opportunity to play the Final Showdown Bonus Feature: a 3-round battle against the mighty tusked creature featured as one of the game’s symbols. If the now black-belt Karate Pig wins the showdown, you can win some huge prizes.

Free Spins on Karate Pig Slot

The free spins at Karate Pig are unlocked by finding Gold Coin scatter symbols on reels 1 and 2.
