It’s hard to argue with the claim that 2016 has been the year of NetEnt, and the Q3 roadmap released in June made it clear that the software provider had no intention of this changing.The next title on the list is released today, and it goes by the name of When Pigs Fly, a slot game based on pigs and space, that famous old combination.This is NetEnt through and through, the title suggests pigs and flying, but instead of the predictable winged pigs approach, you instead get astronaut pigs, because NetEnt do like to keep you on your toes!
About the game
There is a very 90s kids’ TV vibe to the animations here, harking back to the days of Ren and Stimpy, and making it clear early that this is not a slot that takes itself too seriously.This vintage approach to design and symbols is juxtaposed against a very modern layout concept.In a similar way to other slots in the past, NetEnt have opted to deviate somewhat from the traditional 5×3 reel layout.You start with one symbol in the outer two reels, and three in reels two and five, and five in the centre, and the layout then adapts as you play, you can end up with a 5×5 layout.This adapting layout idea means that there are 3,125 different ways to win with When Pigs Fly.
Gameplay
With all of those different ways to win, you almost don’t need features, but this is NetEnt, so obviously you get them!The re-spins feature is possibly the most exciting feature on offer here. Every time you earn a re-spin, the reels change, this can happen up to five times, opening up two new symbols on the reels each time. land a winning combination with your final (fifth) re-spin, and you’ll land eight free spins too!This is an excellent game that everybody should try, and proof that NetEnt just continue to go from strength to strength!https://youtu.be/jK7lnKCw1Pk
