Big Bad Wolf Live Game Review

Well, the big bad wolf isn’t really blowing anyone’s house down in this live version of Quickspin’s most iconic game. You do get the regular base game, however, which revolves around landing as many tumble wins as possible to turn the 3 little piggies wild one after another. The good news is that the bonus game triggers fairly often, and 1 in 105 spins on average to be precise, but it’s obviously different from what you may remember from the slot versions.

The bonus game phase of Big Bad Wolf Live plays out in a live studio, with a live host and an Augmented Reality version of the Big Bad Wolf himself. He admittedly looks scary when seen in the same size as a human, and this alone makes it worthwhile to have a closer look. The bonus game is all about collecting multipliers in pots, and one of these (or all of these) are won via the final spin on the Wolf Wheel. The 700x potential is a tad disappointing, however, but we still enjoyed trying this game out.

Big Bad Wolf Live Features & How To Play

The base game plays out like the regular slot with Tumbling Reels, which means that winning symbols are removed and replaced. This process repeats as long as you keep winning, and it can also help trigger the Pigs Turn Wild feature. During this feature, all red pigs turn wild on the second tumble, while green pigs turn wild on the fourth tumble. You need to get 6 tumbles in a row to also turn the blue pigs wild.

You need 3 Wolf Scatter symbols anywhere in view to trigger the Wolf Bonus Game, and this feature can be purchased for 40x in some jurisdictions (but not in the UK). This gives you 3 Wolf Scatters to trigger the feature, and it plays out in 3 different parts in this live version of Big Bad Wolf. These phases are known as the Top Up Game, The Multiplier Collect game, and the Wolf Wheel Game.

The Top Up Game is basically a side-bet 3-reel slot with 1 payline, and you can kill some time playing it while waiting for the actual bonus game to start. It comes with a paytable consisting of 3 pay symbols, and they pay accordingly for 3 of a kind wins. These are not free spins, just to be clear, but you can land extra “top up” wins nonetheless.

The Multiplier Collect Game is a bet multiplier collect game that plays out before the main attraction. It’s basically all about collecting bet multipliers, and these will benefit you in the final stage of the bonus round. You get 3 different multiplier pots based around the 3 little piggies, and the Wolf Wheel Game decides which color/piggie is the winner.

The Wolf Wheel Game is the final stage of the bonus round, and the live host will spin the massive wheel of fortune. The pin can land on red, green, or blue, representing the 1 of the 3 little piggies. This gives you a bet multiplier of 1x to 3x, which comes in addition to the piggie multiplier pot if the color matches. If the pin lands on the single Wolf segment all colors win, and they are boosted by a Wolf Multiplier of x1, x2, or x7.

Review Summary

It’s understandable that Quickspin has decided to keep things somewhat simple in what amounts to their Live Game debut, but fans of the Big Bad Wolf series do get some juicy features to sink their teeth into. Big Bad Wolf Live Game starts out with the slot phase of the game, which should please fans of the series, and this base game is all about getting lengthy tumble sequences that turn hopefully all 3 pig symbols wild.

The bonus round triggers on a regular basis, or 1 in every 105 spins on average to be precise, and it’s a tad unusual to include a bonus buy feature in a live game. The multiplier collect game can rack up decent multiplier pots, and it’s always exciting to see if the Wolf Wheel lands on the corresponding piggie color. Larger paydays will come from the Wolf segment, of course, since all multiplier pots win in addition to the possibly larger Wolf Win Multiplier. Still, the 700x potential isn’t exactly daring, and we hope Quickspin is willing to take bigger risks in their next effort.
