Join us for an exclusive interview with Daniela Fracchione, our Head of Account Management, as she shares the behind-the-scenes insights and inspirations driving the excitement around our latest slot, Wild Hogs™ by Stakelogic.
Interviewer: Daniela, a warm welcome! We’re excited to have you join us today to discuss Stakelogic’s latest online slot, Wild Hogs. To kick things off, could you share the inspiration behind this rebellious ride through hell?
Daniela Fracchione (DF): Wild Hogs was born from the desire to create a thrilling adventure through the seventh level of Hell. The game embodies a bold, hellish-like style, delivering an immersive underworld experience.
I: Can you walk us through the standout features that make Wild Hogs a unique and exhilarating game?
DF: Wild Hogs offers dynamic reels with a minimum of 4096 ways to win and with each spin, it can escalate to a mind-blowing 46,656 ways. The Wild Hogs themselves add both chaos and charm, randomly delivering three modifiers that can lead to massive wins. But the real thrill comes in the bonus game set in the main casino of hell.
I: Can you tell us more about the Wild Hog General, Wild Hog Lieutenant, and Wild Hog Sergeant and how they contribute to the gameplay?
DF: The Wild Hog General introduces unpredictable Wild multipliers ranging from x2 to x5, impacting all reels except the first. The Wild Hog Lieutenant takes charge, cruising over the reels and substituting random symbols with potent x3 Expanding Wilds, gracing all reels excluding the first. Meanwhile, the Wild Hog Sergeant unleashes havoc by hurling land mines, transforming reels into expansive wilds—excluding, once again, the first reel. Each Hog brings its distinctive chaos and lucrative rewards to the gameplay.
I: Could you elaborate on the feature trail and the challenges players face as they collect multipliers?
DF: In the bonus game, players embark on a feature trail with three lives. As they move around the board collecting multipliers, landing on the same position twice costs a life. It adds an exciting layer of strategy and risk to the heart-pounding journey through the underworld’s casino.
I: The Bonus Wheel and Super Bonus Wheel sound like a pivotal part of the game. How do they work, and what can players expect when they’re triggered?
DF: Triggered by 3 Bonus Symbols, the Bonus Wheel and its supercharged counterpart, the Super Bonus Wheel (activated by 4 Bonus Scatter Symbols), can lead to Free Spins, the Trail Bonus, or the Super Trail Bonus. The Super Wheel offers higher value probabilities and an increased potential for the Super Trail Bonus or higher value Free Spins.
I: Free Spins are always a crowd-pleaser. What’s the experience like during the Free Spins bonus round in Wild Hogs?
DF: When the Bonus Wheel or Super Bonus Wheel triggers the Free Spins bonus, players can win a random number of free spins, ranging from six to a maximum of fifteen! The Free Spins Counter decreases with each spin, and the game concludes when the counter reaches zero, offering ample opportunities for significant wins.
I: The bonus trail and mini reels sound like a unique addition. Can you share a bit about how players interact with the board and the role of the mini reels in enhancing the gameplay?
DF: The player’s journey around the slot involves collecting multipliers. The ornately decorated Silver or Gold Hogs head, depending on the bonus trail, acts as their game piece. Lives are at stake – lost when the mini reel returns an X or when the player lands on the same trail position twice. The Multiplier Bank pays out at the end of the game round, adding strategic depth to the overall experience.
I: It’s clear that Wild Hogs offers a comprehensive and engaging gaming experience. Before we wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to highlight for players eager to take on this rebellious ride through hell?
DF: The game introduces exciting elements like the Golden Mini Reel, which adds an extra layer of anticipation and rewards. There are special outcomes tied to this golden reel, such as exploding board pieces, adding values, or even resetting the board for a fresh start. It’s an exhilarating journey that players won’t want to miss.
I: Thank you, Daniela, for taking us on a crazy ride through the features of Wild Hogs. We’re sure players are eager to gear up and experience the underworld’s casino for themselves.
DF: My pleasure! I hope players enjoy every heart-pounding moment of the Wild Hogs adventure.
