I came across an Aruze slot machine that takes a new twist on the old fable of the three little pigs. In this slot version, the three little pigs are buxom beauties – a blonde, a bluehead and a redhead – in cocktail dresses and high heels, ready to party.

Theses piggies are still hounded by a big bad wolf but this time they seem to have the advantage.

The reels feature all the things these pretty piggies like: red high heels, red purse, pink convertible, champagne, flowers, a tub of red lipstick, gaily wrapped presents and, of course, the Big Bad Wolf who I have to say is ‘wild.’

This game has lots of bonuses. The free spin bonus occurs when three pretty piggies appear on reels 1, 3 and 5. You get 7 free spins with special symbols, the things piggies like to have at a party: cakes, candy, popcorn, ice cream, donuts -- you get the picture. During the free spins, the three pretty piggies are dancing above the reels in front of a roaring fire, every once in while the Big Bad Wolf comes down the fireplace to get the piggies, but his pants catch on fire and he hops around on the reels turning whole reels wild. Multipliers then appear in the fireplace and that win is multiplied by that amount. If you’re lucky, the wolf appears several times during the free spins, the wolf makes several reels wild and the multiplier is 5x or 7x.

When three house bonus symbols appear on reels 1, 3 and 5, you are prompted to pick one of the house symbols. You can win a credit amount and the bonus is over or you can pick the red roof house bonus, which will lead you to a party in one of the three houses with a chance at the progressive or the piggy snout bonus.

The screen fill with piggy snouts, you get to pick snouts to reveal credit amounts or other bonus games until you pick a snout with the Big Bad Wolf under it, which ends the bonus.

Besides credit amounts, you can pick the fast car bonus in which the three pretty piggies race in their pink convertibles. The better your pick does, the more credits you win. You can also pick the house bonus; if the piggy bests the wolf, you get a piggies symbol or a credit amount. At the end of the bonus, you get an additional bonus for each piggy symbol you collected.

I played 2 credits per line (60¢). I got the free spin bonus three times, collecting $12.60, $22.40 and $1.80. I played through the original $20 and was at $38.40, but continued even though I was ahead. I was hoping to get to $40 and double my starter money. The game stopped paying, so I got out at $35.
