Every casino player’s dream is to “bring down the house”, and perhaps that’s why the 3 Little Pigs theme still appeals to adults. Nostalgia probably plays a role as well, and it was the original Big Bad Wolf that brought this theme to the market. Greedy Wolf revolves around the same huffing and puffing concept, but in a very different way.
You get adorable antics from the piggies and the wolf all the time, with lots of fun animations to liven up the gameplay. There’s no shortage of features either, and the wolf can puff and blow moving wilds off the grid and turn piggy symbols into himself when he lands as a fully expanded wild. The bonus round always ends on a high note, with a 4-tiered cash prize revelation, but the 3,000x potential is slightly below the usual 5,000x you get from Pragmatic.
Bonus Features at Greedy Wolf Slot
You can turn on the ante bet between base game spins, and it will cost you 25% more per spin to keep it on. The advantage is that instead of 6 scatters, you only need 5 to trigger the bonus round. This also affects the RTP, which increases from 96.48% to 96.51% when the ante bet is enabled (these examples are from the higher RTP range, as there are lower settings).
Landing the same 5 premium symbols will pay you 10 to 20 times your bet, while the wild symbol will pay 25 times your bet for the same. Wilds can land on all 5 reels and wilds substitute for regular payout symbols to complete wins. A fully expanded Wolf Wild can only appear on Reel 3, and this turns all visible Pig symbols into the high paying Wolf symbol.
The 3 Little Pigs Respin feature is triggered at random times, and you then get Wilds randomly added to Reels 1, 2 and 3. The wolf then appears and it blows the Wilds one position to the right. This triggers a respin, but he can also blow the Wilds off the grid, which ends the feature. The respins continue as long as wilds are present.
Only on non-winning spins, the wolf can appear at random times and will then blast all symbols off the grid. New symbols will drop down to fill the grid, and this feature offers a win guarantee of at least 20 times your bet. Alternatively, you will get enough scatters to trigger the bonus round.
You need 5 or 6 scatters to trigger the bonus round, depending on whether you play with ante bet activated or not. Either way, you win 6 free spins and the triggering scatters will place straw bales around the positions where they landed. Any new scatters that land do the same, and when a scatter lands in a framed position, it upgrades it from straw to wood.
Scatters can further upgrade from wood to bricks and finally from bricks to castle. You also win 1, 2 or 4 additional free spins if you land 3, 4 or 5 scatters at the same time. The framed positions will turn into houses at the end of the bonus round, and the wolf will then blow the houses away. This reveals cash prizes and you get better prizes the higher level houses you have.

This earned us a decent payout, and then triggers the bonus round at 1:35 in the video. You can see for yourself what kind of houses we built. Just click the play button below to get started.
Rating Conclusion
There is no doubt that Greedy Wolf is a well-made game. It comes with humorous animations, plenty of charm and action, and enough features to balance the experience in a compelling way. Bigger payouts aren’t really possible in the base game, though, and 500x for a screen full of wilds is the best you can hope for. A 400x win for a screen full of wolves and wilds is more likely, though, just to be clear.
We like that the Wolf Blow lost spin feature can also lead to the bonus round, and overall you get the free spins round 1 in 192.9 spins on average. The feature is admittedly original, as you build houses to reveal cash prizes after the last spin. This leads to a huge payout in the end, but it’s “only” at 3,000 times your bet (1 in 3,623,188 probability). In other words, a bit below average for Pragmatic Play, but Greedy Wolf is still a game worth trying.
