Online slots based on children’s stories are becoming more and more popular. These stories are well known. They are not covered by copyright, so there are no licensing requirements. They provide great opportunities for graphics, symbols and animations. This article reviews two such slot games based on Three Little Pigs.

The video slot from Microgaming is titled Piggy Fortunes. The three houses of straw, sticks and bricks and the Microgaming playing card symbols award line payouts. The three little pigs are the scatter symbol and the big bad wolf is the wild symbol. The Big Bad Wolf feature is triggered by three or more scatter symbols. If the wolf lands adjacent to any house it will blow all houses of that type and award wild multipliers ranging from 2x to 4x. When three or more scatter symbols appear on the screen one of the blown down houses, randomly chosen, will be restored. Thus houses keep getting demolished and rebuilt. The Big Bad Wolf feature ends when all the houses have been blown down. Piggy Fortunes is a 25 paylines slot game with a top bet of $75 per spin. The slot game is live at all Microgaming online casinos like Spin Palace, Jackpot City, Crazy Vegas and Platinum Play.

Piggies and the Wolf is the Playtech slot game based on the Three Little Pigs tale. The graphics are in 3D and the pigs have exchanged their rustic looks for something more glam. The wolf is also full of attitude. The wolf is the wild symbol and awards line payouts for only 5 of a kind. It can appear stacked on reels 1, 3 and 5. The three pigs appear independently as symbols along with their respective houses. The playing card icons are used as the low paying symbols. The Huff and Puff Shuffle feature is triggered when the wolf covers the entire fifth reel. After the initial payouts are awarded the wolf blows and shuffles the symbols on the reels. New wins, if any, are also paid out. The game logo symbol, simultaneously appearing on reels 1, 3 and 5, awards 15 free spins. The free spins include the Pigs Running Wild feature. If the wolf appears to the right of any of the pigs, then he will chase the pig out of the reels leaving a trail of wild symbols. The slot game also has a Blow the House Down bonus game on the second screen. Piggies and the Wolf is a 50 paylines slot game with four rows of symbols. It is live at Playtech online casinos.
