THE SYMBOLS
Low value symbols are represented by the high end of a deck of cards, from 10 through to Ace. These symbols can offer between x0.1 and x0.8 the player’s stake, depending on the number of paying combinations that appear on a single spin.
Meanwhile, tortoises, rats, parrots, cats and dogs depict the high value symbols, offering wins between x0.1 and x5 the player’s preferred wager.
Bonus pet food can scatters can also appear, triggering 10, 12 or 15 free spins when three, four or five scatters land on the same turn.
Flaming tyre symbols can land on the fifth reel, activating a special roadkill feature. Once all wins have been awarded for the spin a wheel appears on, the wheel will move to the left across all the reels, replacing symbols with wilds on the way. New wins can then be awarded.
Finally, teddy bear wilds are available on reels two through five, substituting for all symbols other than the pet food scatters and flaming tyres.
THE DETAILS
Cascading wins occur throughout this game, causing winning symbols to disappear after providing their payouts, making way for new symbols to drop in from the top of the reels.
Super symbols can appear throughout the game, with 2×2, 3×3 and 4×4-sized symbols randomly dropping into play to increase the win potential. Each super symbol will remove symbols below it to land on the very bottom row.
Beside the reel sits a symbol multiplier reel. Each time a high value pet symbol contributes to a winning cascade, its multiplier value will increase to x2, causing any other winning cascades on the same spin that involve said symbol to become enhanced.
This can then be repeated, with multipliers of x4, x8, x16, x32 and x64 also available. These high value symbol multipliers will reset in between spins.
During the free spins game mode, these multiplier values will not reset in between spins, increasing the win potential significantly.
Players can buy access to 10, 12 or 15 free spins for the price of x100, x125 or x165 the player’s wager.
WHAT THEY SAY
Daniela Fricchione, Head of Account Management at Stakelogic, stated: “One thing we love to do at Stakelogic is to play with player expectations. When you think of a pet-themed slot, you imagine something cute and cuddly. Well, we’ve taken that rulebook and fed it to the dogs, putting a fresh spin on the genre with Fugly Pets.
“It’s not just the theme that is unconventional, either. The game is jam-packed with special features, with the roadkill bonus and super symbols really helping the slot stand out from the pack.“
