Owing more than a nod to the classic Pigs In Space sketch from the Muppet Show, When Pigs Fly has a similar madcap feel - the 1x3x5x3x1 reel set offers creates winning combinations when the same symbol lands on adjacent reels. Those symbols include lower value playing cards alongside an aviator's hat, balloons, airship, a female flyer and a male spacepig.
The top paying standard symbol is the When Pigs Fly logo which offers single payline payouts of up to 1,000 coins. There's also a wild that appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 which substitutes for all other symbols.
After every winning spin, you'll be awarded a re-spin, up to a maximum of 5. For every re-spin, 2 more symbols will be added to the reels, increasing the number of ways to win. It starts at 135 ways to win then increases to 405, 675, 1,125 and 1,875 with each subsequent re-spin. This is known as the Re-Spins feature.
If a winning combination is formed on the 5th and final re-spin, you can look forward to the Free Spins feature – you will receive 8 free spins on a full 5x5 reel set which offers an enormous 3,125 ways to win!
The theme may well be a little on the wacky side but When Pigs Fly is a typically well realised slot from Net Entertainment - the visuals are sharp and crisp as always from this developer and the same goes for the features. The re-spin option after every winning spin keeps the pace bobbing along at a fair old rate and the increased number of potential winning combinations after each re-spin certainly ups the ante.
We found When Pigs Fly to be a medium variance slot with potential wins of over 962 times your stake on every free spin in the Free Spins feature. There’s also good wins available in the base game with the Re-Spins feature.
When Pigs Fly is a little different to many NetEnt offerings - the blend of cartoon visuals and an unusual bonus offering works well together though. Get on a roll with those re-spins and these porkers can help you head up, up and away with an explosive haul of coins. If you’re looking for animals in space, Invaders from the Planet Moolah from WMS is a great option.
