Reviewed by Paul Clare Last updated:

Octoplay is back with Thunder Hog Chaos Reels. Imagine if the Greek god Zeus were a greedy pig – well, that’s the premise. The game’s got a randomly expanding and contracting game area along with Wilds, multipliers and a spectacular free spins round. Does a 10,000x max win whet your appetite?

Thunder Hog Chaos Reels Review

Fans of Octoplay might find Thunder Hog Chaos Reels reminiscent of Shaolin Panda Chaos Reels. Will this lightning-throwing pig be able to rival or perhaps even surpass the dizzy heights of that other animal-themed Octoplay classic?

Gameplay & Features

The action takes place on a game area that can randomly have between 3 and 8 reels and between 3 and 8 rows, hence the ‘chaos’ in the game’s title. To win, you simply need to land matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. 

10 to Ace are the game’s low-pay symbols, with an 8-of-a-kind being worth up to 3x the bet. The high pays are the food items which don’t come in the form of playing card symbols, plus the Hydra symbol. Land 8 of the same and you can win up to 6.4x. The Wild Chicken substitutes for all these pay symbols.

Thunderbolts, Free Spins and Zeus The Thunder Hog

If you land a Thunderbolt in conjunction with Zeus The Thunder Hog, you’ll trigger 1 of the following 5 features. 

Landing 3 Zeus The Thunder Hog symbols will win you 10 free spins. During the free spins round, every Thunderbolt activates. You’ll also notice there’s a global multiplier above the grid. Every Zeus The Thunder Hog that lands increases that multiplier by 1 and awards an extra free spin. You can actually get the multiplier all the way up to 25x.

Outside the UK, players can double their chances of triggering Free Spins. All you have to do is click the Double Chance function. Your bet will increase by 40%, and the paytable will stay the same as before but now you’ll have doubled the odds of triggering the bonus. If you’re playing outside the UK, you should also be able to buy instant access to the free spins round for 150x the stake.

Thanks to the expanding and contracting grid, the game feels very engaging. Add to that the Thunderbolt symbols, which seem to land regularly, and you’ll find your eyes are glued to the screen.

The free spins round is a lot of fun. When I was playing, the Zeus The Thunder Hog symbols fell very frequently, so I was able to win a lot of extra spins and greatly increase the global multiplier. That said, I was spinning for quite some time before I was able to trigger the round.

Thunder Hog Chaos Reels - Thunderbolts

Thunderbolts

Land a Thunderbolt symbol in conjunction with Zeus The Thunder Hog to trigger 1 of 5 features, including extra reels, symbols transformed into Wilds and Hydra’s with multipliers worth up to 5x.

Free Spins

3 scatters will win you 10 free spins. Each Zeus The Thunder Hog symbol grants an extra free spin and increases the round’s global multiplier by 1. Every Thunderbolt activates, too.

Win Potential

The base game has plenty of win potential, mainly due to the Thunderbolts’ features and the expanding and contracting game area. The value of standard winning combinations is pretty high and the game has advertised medium volatility and 95.72% RTP.

I personally found it quite difficult to trigger Free Spins, and although there were plenty of big-win opportunities, I was still a little disappointed. Given how the global multiplier in Free Spins is limited to 25x, it could be difficult to hit the 10,000x max win.

Design

As with most Octoplay games I’ve played, the visuals are second to none. The game has a very cartoonish style but there’s still plenty of detail. The lighting effects are stunning and the animations are really smooth, too. It’s the same whether you play on desktop or mobile.

The game area sits in front of a porcine version of the mythical Greek god Zeus. Right in front of him, you can see he has quite the feast laid out. And in true Greek myth fashion, we’re in the clouds.

I didn’t realise there was music until I’d nearly finished playing! I’d attribute this more to how engaging the game is than how forgettable the music is. It’s a whimsical little number but it’s hard to make out a melody and it sounds as though you’re listening to it under water.

Our Verdict

Thunder Hog Chaos Reels isn’t quite as impressive as other games on Octoplay’s roster. Nonetheless, there’s still plenty to play for. If you’re on the lookout for something new, I’d recommend you give this one a try.
