Wild Hog Luau
Legend has it that there is a place in the North Pacific Ocean where the party is always going on, the Spam flows freely, and riches are awaiting you.
It exists! We’ve seen it! Now we’re going to do our best to take you back there with us.
We did it, we played “Wild Hog Luau” which kind of turns out to be a big ol’ “Luau of Fun”, but we’re getting ahead of ourselves here. Let’s go ahead and start at the beginning. We’re betting that you’re going to find it just as enjoyable as we did!

Vibrant Party Animals
At first glance, Wild Hog Luau looks as though it’s going to be a great time, as close to a Luau many of us are going to be getting anytime soon anyway.
The graphics are bright and colorful, welcoming and bring a feeling of celebration with some smiling pigs. These pictures and icons are very well done, crystal clear down to the background image meant to look like the Hawaiian islands that are home to most Luau’s.
Over at SlotoCash there is the sound of a pleasant Hawaiian Jam going on with the sounds of a ukulele playing you off to a peaceful state of mind.
Now, if you were to check out our gameplay video here, you may hear the music come and go. That’s not anything we did to our sound while playing, that’s just the way it sounded at SlotoCash with the music “coming and going” like that.
Meanwhile, over at Bovada, You would think that, like most good parties, there would be some good music playing throughout the festivities. Nope.
No music, no ukuleles, not even the sound of waves gently coming up to the shore to help you relax into the salt life. Just the sound of the reels clicking away at you. Who knows? Maybe some of you will be into that, the sounds of island jams aren’t for everyone!
All Parties Must Come to an End
As for the business end of Wild Hog Luau, this slot is played with 5 reels and 8 fixed paylines, meaning that you do not get to change these.
The price per spin is a little on the odd side with bets ranging from anywhere between 0.08 cents and $2, making this very affordable for even those of us that have a slightly smaller bankroll. Those looking to place some larger wager will obviously want to look elsewhere.
This slot is marketed as having a “low” volatility and we unfortunately cannot seem to find an RTP listed anywhere at any of the casinos. However, during our review playing, the free spins and re-play spins came along quite freely. Read on down below!
Wild Hog Luau Gameplay Video
Lucky Piggy Re-Spins and Free Games
One of the saving graces of this slot is the generosity of re-spins and free spins!
While spinning away, the player is presented with the following symbols:
- Wild Symbol
This is represented by the skull of one of our pigs, (yes really) and can appear on reels 1, 3, and 5 and take on the characteristics of any of the other symbols except for the Tiki God, (scatter).
- Scatter Symbol
This is the Tiki God that will come on out now and then. Three or more of these guys will pay out 1X the total bet.
- Regular Symbols
Here we’ve got 4 different pigs to be on the lookout for, 1 coconut drink, and the expected A, K, Q, J. These will all pay out different amounts when you line up 3 or more of them, always going from the left to the right.
Lucky Streak Re-Spins Feature
Wild Hog Luau offers up 15 independent reels in a 5×3 grid.
Any winning payline will trigger the lucky streak re-spin feature. During this time, the reeks containing the symbols that are a part of a winning like are held in place and all of the remaining symbols are re-spun. This feature will continue as long as the re-spin results in any new or increased win. The player collects when the feature is complete.
Free Games Feature
Remember that Tiki God we had mentioned? Well, spinning and getting 5 or more of him will set off some free games.
- 5-7 8 Free Games
- 8-9 10 Free Games
- 10 25 Free Games
- 11-15 50 Free Games
While your free games are going, it is possible to get more Tiki dudes and reset the free game meter! These will actually keep adding up as long as you get more Tiki Gods, that is, until you have 11 or more on the board at once.
Pros & Cons
Pig Out and Party
While taking some good old fashioned “getting used to” with it’s small 8 line fixed set-up as well as the rather small bet amounts, by the time we were done checking this out, we realized we were having a lot more fun with “Wild Hog Luau” than we had started out to expect.
The Free Spins and the re-spin features come at you often and fast, keeping the action flowing at all times.
The sound can be overlooked when wins are coming at you every few seconds!
Nothing left to do than to go to one of our trusted and vetted casinos and play for yourself and see what the hell-a the Luau is all about!
