Get Ready for a Swine-Tastic Adventure with Piggy Blitz by Play'n GO!
February 28, 2020 Alex Hoffmann
One week after surprising its clientele with another Egyptian-themed video slot and next installment of the series, Dawn of Egypt, the Swedish software supplier Play’n GO is ready to delve into the legend with Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.
Based on the story from One Thousand and One Nights collection of folk tales, the provider has adapted a legendary story and fused it into a slot machine Fortunes of Ali Baba. The game comes with a five-reel grid and elements of the fairytale, creating a thrilling atmosphere with captivating gaming potential.
There are two entertaining features in Fortunes of Ali Baba, allowing players to interact with Ali Baba himself as he opens oil jars to find the thieves’ treasure. The second feature includes a funny animation in which the King of Thieves chases Ali Baba across the reels to catch him and award more prizes.
The game is beautifully designed and it also comes with high volatility, an above average RTP ratio of 96.86% and maximum win exposure of 10,000 in coins. Chief executive Johan Tornqvist said that the game represents a very faithful adaptation of the story, offering hours of fun and hopefully big payouts.
“The story of Ali Baba is well-known and enjoyed by people all over the world. We wanted to take the most exciting elements of the story to create a fun game that people could enjoy playing as well as experiencing the most exciting parts of a well-loved story. Story is a big factor in storytelling, and we want to give that to audiences, to increase their enjoyment and leave them wanting more!”
In relation to high paying symbols and winning combos, players can start by landing two scatter images (Morgiana the slave girl) on the first and last reel. This scenario triggers the Den of Thieves, a bonus round, where slot recreationists must select pots to reveal instant prizes and complimentary spins triggers. To make it more thrilling, there are up to 5 levels in the Den of Thieves bonus mode, so if an instant prize is revealed, the bonus will advance to the next level. If, by any chance, extra spins are revealed, players will continue to this stage; in contrast to this selection are the thieves, whose presence on the playboard ends the feature.
As far as it concerns other components of bonus features, Play’n GO has incorporated wins up to 10x total bet as an instant prize in Level 1. At Levels 2-3 it’s possible to trigger 10x prizes of total bet, claim complimentary rounds or get caught by the thieves. As the game progresses to Level 4, players can take away 100x total bet, while the fifth level either brings more spins or sets off the thieves.
Initially, there are 8 extra spins on offer, with Ali Baba Wild applied to every spin. Each time a Thieves Wild lands, it triggers a re-spin. During this mode, the Thieves Wild will move towards Ali Baba Wild leaving wilds in its path and creating more possible combinations.
