Wild Hog Luau Slots

There aren’t many positive things associated with pigs, but this is about to be one of them. While most people would shy away from a pig-themed slot game, this is so much more than a boring farm game. Wild Hog Luau is a fun slot game with decent graphics and a few bonus features that most slot players will appreciate. So, before you write it off based on its name, give it a chance to see if this is a party you want to join.

Not Just Lipstick on a Pig

This game has some pretty decent graphics for a theme as silly as luau pigs. They lean into the luau theme with a background that is interesting and eye-catching. You will be immediately drawn to what is happening behind the board, with sandy beaches, adorable islands, boats, and festive trees all vying for your attention. All of the details, from the street signs to the tiki torches and lights, create an ambiance of light-hearted fun before you even start playing.

Unfortunately, this game does not diverge from the traditional face card filler symbols, but it does make them more fun. The letters and numbers are made from the same wood as the tikis and shacks and are covered with lights to give off the cliched “lampshade on the head” party vibe. Apart from a coconut beverage and the special symbols, every other symbol in this game is a pig in a costume. You can tell them all apart if you try, but they all look pretty similar.

You can’t have a party without music, and this game delivers the exact music you would expect. There is an overlaying ukelele-driven luau song that isn’t just what you’d want but what you would expect from a game like this. Despite the fact that there are few notes, the calm nature of the song and how well it fits the motif make it a necessary part of the Wild Hog Luau experience. The sound effects are pretty tame, and while they are noticeable, they are easy to tune out, especially if you are focusing on the luau music.

Don’t Hog All The Money With These Features

Wild Luau doesn’t change the game in regards to special features of common slots, but it does take an interesting approach to them. The wild feature, which is inexplicably the skeleton of one of the pigs still in its luau dress, can only land on the first, third, and fifth reels. The wild can replace any standard symbol in the game, which is great for increased win chances, but it also plays double duty. When you win lines with a wild in them, they lock into place, and the reel spins again for free; any additional winning lines get added to your total for that spin.

Of course, there is a scatter symbol as well that looks like a native totem - with pigs, of course. It does look different than the other symbols, but it is easy for it to get lost in the mix if you are spinning rapidly. Much like the wild, this symbol pulls double duty depending on how many you land in a spin. If you land three scatters anywhere on the board in a single spin, you earn a bet multiplier. If you land five or more scatter symbols in a single spin, you can earn between eight and fifty free spins.

This Game is a Delicious Snack

Wild Hog Luau isn’t some amazingly ground-breaking slot game that is going to turn the industry on its head. What it is is a solid game with an entertaining theme that makes playing as fun as it is rewarding. One of the best parts about this theme is there is really nothing that could offend people, so it is great for everyone. The ambiance is the real selling point, with great aesthetics and fun music, but it also offers respectable bonus features that can win you some serious cash. This may not be the main course for serious slot lovers, but as a little snack, this game is absolutely delicious.
