When Pigs Fly

How to Play

Most video slot games in the industry follow a standard pay line and number of reels design, but NetEnt is always open to new interesting game designs. For When Pigs Fly they decided to use the 1x3x5x3x1 grid with the all ways win system. The minimum bet size is set at $0.50 but can go all the way up to $100 with a starting 45 ways to win.

With each winning consecutive spin the ways to win number increases up to the maximum of 3125 and a final 5×5 grid on the screen. The rest of the play options include the standard spin and auto play buttons.

Special Features

When Pigs Fly doesn’t have the standard scatter symbols that usually trigger the game bonus round. Here as we said earlier with each consecutive spin the ways to win are increased proportionally with the number of rows on each reel.

With each winning spin in a row you will see a number on the right side of the screen next to the pig astronaut. Each consecutive winning spin decreases that number and takes the astronaut one step close to enter the space ship. You will need to get 5 consecutive winning spins to set the launch in motion.

As the free spins bonus is triggered the pig astronaut is seated inside the rocket setting the number of 8 free spins and reaching out to hut the launch button. In the free spins round each spin is played on the maximum 3,125 ways to win on the full 5 reels 5 rows grid.

Another great feature in base play and in the bonus round is that the wilds can come covering several positions on a reel and make way for a bigger number of winning combinations.

Maximums Payout

We don’t have any official information on what the maximum payout on When Pigs Fly actually is. Considering the same game design as Reel Rush we guess the maximum payout would probably be about the same 480,000 coins.

Summary

From what we had a chance to see in the promo video, When Pigs Fly seems like a very fun game to play. The animations are excellent as the entire visual appearance is, with great background music.

The 3,125 ways to win can create some great payouts especially with the 8 free spins in the bonus round. The wild symbol that can come in several combos only increases the overall payouts in the game.

When Pigs Fly is a great clone of Reel Rush and is capable of the same big payouts. We will have to wait the official launch date to see whether the game variance is higher or lower than Reel Rush, but regardless When Pigs Fly seems like a game worth playing.
