Karate Pig

Karate Pig is a 40 line video slot with stacked wilds on all reels and two types of bonus features. It has a comic style with the main character being a Karate expert of the oinking kind. The game has an impressive top jackpot of 400,000 coins during regular play and an even better 800,000 coin award during the free spins.

You can choose to play Karate Pig is a small selection of different coin sizes with the lowest being 0.01 and the highest being 0.10 at most casinos. Maximum bet is 5 coins per line so you are looking at 200 coins per spin if you're going to bet max.

A quick not on the Karate Pig pay table. The pay table values adapt based on the amount of coins you choose to play. This means that if you select 1 coin you see the per coin values and if you select 5 coins you see the total win not the per coin win. This can cause some confusion so keep this in mind when looking at the pay table.

The Karate Pig logos are wild and appears stacked on all five reels. The wilds substitute for everything but the scattered Pig symbols and the Coins which only appear on the first and last reel. Getting five wild Karate Pig logos on an active line pays 2,000 coins or 10,000 coins if you play 5 coins per line.

As with all slot machines that have stacked wilds on all reels you can get a whole screen of wild symbols which boosts the top jackpot from a nice 2,000 coins to a possible 400,000 coins on the base game and 800,000 on the free spins. Of course you will not be hitting a full screen of wilds frequently but the chance is always there.

After the top line win for the wild symbols the second and third highest line wins are 750 coins (Five Karate Pig symbols) and then 500 coins (Four wilds aligned left to right). The rest of the five of a kind pays then range from 250 to 45 coins.

The first bonus on Karate Pig is a fairly standard free spins bonus that is triggered by getting a scattered Coin anywhere on the first and last reels. You then win 15 free spins with all wins doubled which give you the chance to hit the games highest 800,000 coin jackpot. The free games can be re-triggered an unlimited amount of times but the Karate Bonus cannot be won on the free spins.

The Karate Bonus is triggered with the Scatter symbols during regular play. It's a multi stage bonus where on the first seven triggers you can choose between one of two pick a box stages. After each bonus you are awarded a belt. On your seventh belt you are awarded the Final Showdown bonus and then you start the sequence from the beginning.

For the first seven bonus triggers you can select from either the Hammer Bonus or the Pork Chop Bonus (View selection screen). The bonuses are as follows,

• Pork Chop Bonus (Screenshot)
  You get to pick three from six of the barrels. Each pick awards a random win with the total combined win being up to 10,600 coins.
   
• Hammer Bonus (Screenshot)
  The Hammer Bonus is a "Pick until stop" style bonus where you pick areas to smash and are awarded random prizes when you successfully smash an item. If you fail to smash an item the bonus ends and any remaining items award a consolation prize. Again the biggest possible win is 10,600 coins.

Once you have collected seven belts you move on the the last bonus stage which is the Final Showdown. Here you have three credit prizes listed on the left of the screen and two possible attacks. If you win the round you are awarded the credit prize listed on the left. The bonus game ends after three round and any wins are awarded (View Preview).

Karate Pig is a well put together slot game with some impressive jackpots and enough bonus features to keep things interesting. While you won't be hitting a full screen of wilds too often the frequent bonuses and high hit rate make it an entertaining game to play.
