Don’t worry, this game isn’t quite as violent as it sounds. You’re not actually going around destroying pigs. The game basically takes its influence from those whack attack type games that you find in arcades. You know, where something pops up from the machine and you need to hit it as hard as you can with a mallet. Well, that’s the whole basis behind the theme of Smash the Pig. It seems like quite a strange thing to base a slot game on and really, I doesn’t feature so much imagery. The game is presented against a backdrop of blue skies and green fields. However, the icons on the reels are, for the most part, quite generic. The same can also be said about the soundtrack that is present in the game. It’s quite a regular sounding piece of music on the whole. And while the graphics that are on display are very much impressive, it doesn’t make up for the lack of intriguing basics.

This game presents players with a total of five reels and three rows. Therefore, you’ll have a fairly standard video slot layout to play on. As well as these reels and rows, the developer has made sure to incorporate a total of 20 different pay lines. However, customisation of these is very possible. This can be done by using the box at the bottom of the reels. Furthermore, it’s there that you’re able to adjust the value of the wager that you place. This offers up a range of between $0.01 per line and $10 per line. Therefore, a maximum overall wager of $200 per spin is possible. There’s also the inclusion of an ‘Auto’ button, allowing you to spin the reels up to 100 consecutive times at the same bet level.Piggy

As we said originally, the imagery that appears on the reels in the form of icons isn’t so vast. But, then again, a slot game featuring the theme of an arcade game doesn’t provide much room for such. Instead, your primary symbols exist in the form of the often seen A, K, Q and J icons. Joining those are four others, which supposedly relate to the actual theme. These are the mallet that you use to smash the pigs with and then the coin that you insert into the machine to do so. The third higher paying icon is that of a wad of green bank notes. And finally, the last and highest paying icon is that of the game’s own logo. Should you spin five of these on to a winning pay line, you’re able to receive a maximum pay out of $100,000!

Of course, a game like this needs to have some intriguing bonus features within to make up for the lack of basics, right? Well, let’s take a look. To start off with, one great thing about it is that you can form wins from left to right or right to left. Therefore, you’ve already got double the amount of chances to form a winning combination. However, you won’t find any wild symbols present on the reels.

Instead, there is the addition of a pink pig with the dollar icon on its body. This is the game’s scatter symbol. While scatters provide a pay out regardless of the location they appear in, there’s additional perks to these. If you spin between three and five of these into view, you’ll trigger the Pick a Pig Bonus round. Simply select one of the pigs on offer to reveal any of the following prizes:

  • A reward of between times one and times 20 of your total bet
  • A reward of between times one and times 15 of your total bet as well as another pig pick
  • All of the available prizes added together
  • Entry into the additional feature round of the Pig Smashing Bonus.

The Pig Smashing bonus round can also become active if you spin between three and five of the other scatter symbols into view. This one comes in the form of three pigs on display face on. Each of these symbols adds some luck to the respective Luck Meter which can be seen at the right hand side of the reels. Then, you need to choose one of the eight pigs available. This will reveal a prize between one and 20 times your total bet. Every time that you smash a pig, the Luck Meter will empty slightly. Simply put, you need to continue picking pigs until your luck runs out. If you smash five of the pigs in total and there is still some luck remaining in the meter, the three left over pigs run off. Then, eight new pigs take their place and additional luck appears in the meter. You start choosing again until the meter runs out altogether.

The bonus features of this game are probably its saving grace. If it was left down to the basic gameplay and icons, it wouldn’t really be much of an entertaining offering from IGT. Instead, it manages to drag itself back up to a moderate slot with the bonus rounds. On the whole, it’s a decent addition to the developer’s portfolio of games.
