How Big Bad Wolf Megaways works

The 3 little pigs and the big bad wolf are back with a vengeance in Big Bad Wolf Megaways. As with many successful slots, Quickspin has decided to offer a sequel using Megaways technology from Big Time Gaming to their little gem, Big Bad Wolf. So embark on this famous tale and take a deep breath to blow away the houses and try to hit the jackpot!

Big Bad Wolf Megaways is a slot machine developed and published by online gaming provider Quickspin. Its official release date is September 14, 2021. Its payout ratio to the player is quite good at 96%, and Big Bad Wolf Megaways offers high volatility with a maximum win potential of up to 26,252 times the original bet. Big Bad Wolf Megaways features a unique grid reminiscent of recent Megaways slots. There are 6 reels that are placed vertically with between 2 and 6 symbols on each reel and one reel that is placed horizontally above the grid with 4 symbols. Big Bad Wolf Megaways uses the cascade feature when connecting. A wild makes connections easier by substituting for all other symbols except the scatter and a free spins bonus is available. A base game feature helps to spice up the game: cascading connections fill a counter on the pigs placed above the grid. When 2 tumblers are linked together in the same round, one of the 3 little pigs becomes a wild. You only need to make 6 different tumblers in the same paying round for the 3 little pigs to become wild.

Big Bad Wolf Megaways symbols

In addition to the Wild in the form of tools and the full moon Scatter, there are 11 symbols in Big Bad Wolf Megaways. They are divided into several categories:

• The highest value symbol is the wolf which pays x50 for 6 identical symbols;

• The high value symbols are called premium. They appear less often and are represented by the 3 little pigs and their tools, they pay between x1 and x6 for 6 identical symbols;

• Low value symbols are called common. They appear more often, but pay radically less. They are represented by the high values of a deck (J- Q - K - A) and pay between x0.4 and x0.5 for 6 identical symbols.

The different connections in Big Bad Wolf Megaways

Many connections are possible in Big Bad Wolf Megaways. There are no predefined paylines in this slot. You have to line up identical symbols on adjacent reels. This way system is becoming more and more common and is quite simple to understand. Connections are made from left to right with a minimum of 3 reels having an identical symbol. In addition to the Megaways technology, Tumble technology is used in Big Bad Wolf Megaways. On each payline, the symbols used are removed to drop other symbols on top so that connections can be made in succession. The stunts allow the little piggy symbols to be turned into wilds by filling a counter on each premium. In effect, every 2 tumbles on a single game round, a new pig symbol is turned into a Wild. The image below can help you to understand this connection system with a paying example and an example without valid connection.

How the Big Bad Wolf Megaways bonus works

The Scatter symbol in Big Bad Wolf Megaways is represented by a full moon. Getting 3 of these on a single spin allows the Big Bad Wolf to appear and blow away the straw house. 11 free spins are then awarded against a wooden house. The basic principle remains the same: you have to make connections of identical symbols, but with each winning connection, a win multiplier placed on the right of the grid increases by 1. This multiplier remains throughout the bonus period.

To progress in the bonus, full moon symbols must be collected. When a total of 3 Scatters are collected, +5 is added to the multiplier and 3 additional free spins are awarded as you blow the wooden house to progress to the brick house. When a total of 6 Scatters have been collected during the bonus, +10 is added to the multiplier and 3 additional free spins are awarded. You then enter the pigs' house. All full moon symbols that appear now grant an additional free spin.
