Bonus Feature
One of the standout mechanics in Big Bad Wolf Megaways is how winning symbols are swept away, almost as if blown by the wind, making room for new ones. This allows you to win multiple times in a single spin. Every second consecutive win fills up the Piggy Wild Progress Bar and turns high paying pig symbols into Wilds. These Wilds can only appear on reels 2-4, increasing your chances of landing big wins.
The game's main feature is the Blowing Down the House Bonus Game, triggered by landing 3 Scatter symbols. During this round, every win increases the multiplier by +1, starting at x1. Collecting additional Scatters also grants more Free Spins and increases the multiplier:
- Collecting 3 Scatters awards 3 free spins & +5 multiplier.
- Collecting 6 Scatters awards 6 free spins & +10 multiplier.
- Collecting more than 6 Scatters awards just 1 spin.
And don't forget, the Blowing Down the House Bonus Game can also be accessed via the Bonus Purchase feature for x90 your current bet.
Verdict
Some might argue that Big Bad Wolf Megaways™ is just an expanded version of the original Big Bad Wolf, and honestly, they wouldn't be wrong. The Megaways™ mechanic is the kmain element that sets this version apart from its predecessor, but it comes at the cost of a slightly lower RTP and a more limited betting range. However, whether that's a dealbreaker depends on how you look at it. After all, the massive max win of x30,540.35 your stake is a tempting reason to give it a spin. Overall, this feels like a solid evolution of a fan favourite and we'll definitely be keeping an eye on future versions of Big Bad Wolf.
