Unfortunately, When Pigs Fly is no longer available at Wombat Casino as it was discontinued by NetEnt. Sorry about that! Have you tried Pig’s Feast or Piggy Payout?
The wombat says: Pigs in space: I can already imagine how that would work. “Hogston, we have a problem”. Vacuum troughs instead of space food in tubes, and puddles of mud twirling around in zero gravity.
The Swine Spangled Banner instead of the Star Spangled Banner being thrust onto the moon’s surface. And the brains of the entire endeavour would be a lanky pig with pointy ears who goes by the name of Mr Spork … Fantastic, why didn’t anyone think of this before?
There’s the Stardust slot I suppose, but that’s short on porkers. The world would be such a better place! Except for the pigs perhaps.
Yes, in case you hadn’t gathered, the “When Pigs Fly” slot is all about hogs and their adventures in space.
Look and Feel
When Pigs Fly features 1950s-style cartoony graphics, catchy animations and an energetic soundtrack. We have plenty of great toon slots here at Wombat Casino (A Dragon’s Story slot comes to mind)- this one has a Jetsons-meet-Ren-&-Stimpy-vibe to this slot, but exclusively with pigs in it. Oink.
Your symbols on the reels include; a male and a female space pig, the When Pigs Fly logo, a bar & lucky 7 symbol and a winged helmet.
The Wild symbol is the pink word “Wild” and it substitutes for all symbols. It can appear on the reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 in the main game and also during Free Spins.
When Pigs Fly Gameplay
When Pigs Fly is a slot with five reels, five rows and up to 3,125 ways to win. ‘Up to what…?’ I hear you ask ‘How does this work?’ I’ve heard of 243 Ways to Win in games like our Santa’s Wild Ride slot game, but 3125?
Well, my friends, it’s a unique feature from NetEnt, where the game starts in a small grid with twenty pay-lines, and continuously expands with every successive win.
After every win, you’ll be given a re-spin, where more ‘win ways’ are added and the reels are also increased by two more positions. So the more you win, the higher the chances are that you’ll win even more.
These re-spins also set off the Free Spin feature, but more about that in a bit… The downside is that after a round without a win slot grid shrinks back to its original size and twenty pay-lines.
Bonus Rounds
Every slot worth its salt has a Free Spin feature Wombat Fans, and When Pigs Fly is no exception. With every re-spin, there is a countdown to the lift-off.
The closer we get to the countdown, the more excited our snouty friend gets. He’ll don his helmet, stand to attention ready to take to the skies. After six respins our heroic space pig will be shot into the stars.
You will see a short animated scene and then the Free Spins start, with 3125 Ways to Win – and this is where you can rake it in.
Let’s only hope the re-entry into the stratosphere will be a smooth one, otherwise their spacecraft will carry nothing but crispy breakfast bacon back to Earth…
Conclusion
We liked the When Pigs Fly slot. Its cartoon theme makes it one of the most entertaining NetEnt releases and the innovative design set it apart from many standard slots. Plus, the re-spin feature added an extra thrill to the game especially when you got closer and closer to the lucrative Free Spin bonus which could bring home the bacon.
