Relax Gaming is known for delivering quirky themes, and their new release, Giants & Sheep (launched February 6, 2025), is no exception. Imagine a medieval fairytale village where giants roam the hills, sheep stare innocently, and you’re the only one who can bring harmony. Giants and Sheep combines humour, innovative mechanics, and charm in equal measure, making it a memorable addition to Relax’ Gaming’s impressive portfolio.
About Giants and Sheep
The graphics are as enchanting as the concept, with a storybook-like aesthetic that immediately draws you in. The reels are set in a quaint medieval village with rolling green hills and a tower where the giants presumably plot their next move. The artwork is crisp and detailed, and there is an undeniable charm in the animations, especially the sheep wilds.
On the reels are the usual lower-paying card symbols—10 through Ace—adorned in medieval regalia. The higher-paying symbols are green, blue, orange, and red giants. Towering above is the prince, a dashing (if slightly smug) fellow who rewards up to 10x for five of a kind.
Then, the sheep. Oh, the sheep. The sheep are the wilds and often turn up at the most unexpected moment, ready to expand, spread, or bring a hefty multiplier!
Game Mechanics
The slot has five reels with 40 fixed paylines. Bets range from a modest 10p to £100 per spin. With an RTP of 96.10% in the base game and 96.50% during the Feature Buy mode, Giants & Sheep is fair and entertaining. The medium variance means that wins appear often enough to keep players engaged without sacrificing the thrill of the chase. Add the max win of 10,000x, and there’s plenty of incentive to keep spinning those reels.
Giants and Sheep Features
The features are where things become unpredictable. These include expanding wilds, colossal symbols, a dynamic Free Spins round, and a Feature Buy option for those who can’t wait.
Wilds
The Wild is the star of the show. It substitutes for other symbols to form winning combinations. It can also expand to cover entire reels or spread across neighbouring positions. Occasionally, they land with multipliers worth 2x, 3x, 5x, or even 10x. And if more than one multiplier is involved in a win, the values multiply together, creating baa-brilliant payouts.
Giant Symbols
As the name suggests, the giants are not just part of the scenery. They land on the reels as oversized symbols of 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4. These massive symbols make it much easier to land winning combinations and add a sense of grandeur to every spin.
Free Spins
The free spins trigger with 3, 4 or 5 scatters for 6, 8 or 10 free spins. Each additional scatter during the feature awards another free spin. Before the spins begin, one of three modes is randomly selected:
- The Extra Bonus mode sprinkles additional scatters on the reels, increasing your chances of retriggering the feature.
- The Extra Wild mode increases the number of wilds appearing during the free spins.
- The Extra Giants mode guarantees at least one giant symbol on every spin, creating opportunities for bigger wins.
Feature Buy
For those who hate waiting, the Feature Buy option is tempting. 50x the current bet triggers the free spins, with an RTP of 96.5%.
Final Thoughts
Giants & Sheep is a light-hearted yet rewarding slot with an excellent design and theme. It’s a fab addition to Relax Gaming’s portfolio with its charming visuals, clever mechanics, and a mix of humour and excitement. So, grab your sword, keep an eye on your flock, and prepare for an adventure that’s as whimsical as rewarding.
