Game Overview
I think all of us have had to endure the inevitable experience of Pigeon poop landing somewhere on our body out of nowhere – usually at the most inconvenient of times. Is there even such a thing as a convenient time? In some cultures, it’s even considered lucky when it happens, although they’re surely just trying to create a silver lining of some kind. I wouldn’t classify a forehead full of any type of bird poop lucky, but I would consider hitting the max win on a slot such as Stakelogic’s Pigeon Hut as good luck. That is the slot I’ll be checking out today, and from the off, I can tell you it has two sets of 5×3 reels, a 96% RTP, and a maximum win of 3,500x bet.
To the untrained eye, Pigeon Hut might look like it is giving extra value for the stakes we place, as two independent sets of 5×3 reels spin when you bet. You know, like those buy-one-get-one-free deals, we’re often duped into believing. For those of us who have been around the iGaming block a few times, we know no matter how many sets of reels or other gimmicks, the underlying mathematics of a slot ensure you’re always more likely to lose than win over the long term. That said, it’s a quirky idea that also works well with features such as the Firecracker symbols, which will create wild symbols and wild multipliers before triggering a Pigeon Run Respin and the free spins feature.
As always, rather than listening to me gobble on, you can skip straight to the Pigeon Hut slot demo below. Playing a few free-to-play spins and trying the buy bonus feature will tell you all you need to know about the slot in question.
Pigeon Hut Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
Every now and again, when reviewing the latest online slots, I come across themes I struggle to remember other slots using. That is most certainly the case with Pigeon Hut, as I can only recall one other slot specifically focused on what some would call ‘the rats of the sky’. That slot is Pigeons From Space, developed by Rare Stone Gaming and released via the Playtech platform. We reviewed it here, and honestly, it’s nothing to write home about (via a pigeon carrier, of course).
You’re better off playing Pigeon Hut, so you might as well stick around as I let you know how much the symbols can pay. The Pigeons are the high-paying symbols, with the Red Pigeon perched on the top spot with a payout of 5x for a five-symbol combination. Next, we have the Pink, Blue, and Green Pigeons, which will return 4x, 3x, and 2x, respectively, for a winning combo of five, before moving on to the low-paying symbols, where the Ace, King, Queen, and Jack playing cards all pay 0.5x the stake in a completed line of five lands across a payline.
Players with the smallest of budgets will be disappointed to learn that the minimum price to play on Pigeon Hut is €0.20 a spin, with this hike in price undoubtedly due to the two sets of reels that are in play. At the other end of the scale, those with deeper pockets will have no qualms with the max stake of €40 that can be placed on each spin.
Pigeon Hut Slot Base Game
As mentioned, two 5×3 sets of reels spin simultaneously and provide results independently. Each has 20 paylines for you to chase symbol combinations, starting from left to right, containing three or more matching symbols.
Wild Symbols
There’s nothing too special about the standard wilds when they land on a spin, as all they do is substitute for regular paying symbols. However, they come to life when the Firecracker symbol lands and the Pigeon Run Respins bonus triggers.
Firecracker Symbols
If a Firecracker symbol appears on the reels during the base game or free spins bonus, it will transform itself and all high-paying Pigeon symbols into wild symbols. The wild symbols that appear on the Firecracker symbols reels will also mirror themselves on the other set of reels. Essentially, you stand the chance to win from the Firecracker symbol two times. If more than a single Firecracker symbol lands, these convert into Wild Multiplier symbols with a multiplier value that increases by 1x for each newly converted wild symbol.
Pigeon Run Respins
Once the Firecracker symbols have done their business, you trigger the Pigeon Run Respin feature. All the wild symbols created by the Firecracker symbols lock in place while all remaining positions are spun. Each additional Firecracker symbol landed on the respins will reward an additional respin, while they’ll also convert wild symbols as usual and add +1 to all existing wild symbols already created. The feature ends once no new Firecracker symbols land on a respin.
Pigeon Hut Slot Bonus Features
I’m not the biggest fan of the free spins bonus on this slot, but if it comes around, I’ll gladly take it, as I’m sure you will as well. You receive 8, 10, and 15 free spins if you land 3, 4, or 5 bonus symbols, respectively, on the triggering spin.
Free Spins
Aside from being free, the only thing differentiating free spins from base game spins is more Firecracker and High-Paying symbols added to the reels.
Bonus Buy
I know that some of you have the patience of a time bomb, so you’ll be thrilled to hear there is a buy bonus feature you can use to get straight into the now-not-so-free free spins. For 80x your current spin bet, you can purchase 8 free spins or 10 or 15 for 100x and 150x, respectively. The final option is to gamble on how many free spins you receive for 110x your current stake.
Pros
- The two sets of reels offer something different from the norm.
- Base games can lead to good wins thanks to Firecrackers and the Pigeon Run Respin feature.
Cons
- Strange staking options that suit neither penny punters nor high rollers.
Pigeon Hut Slot Review Final Thoughts
With a limited amount of online slots to pick from in the Pigeon-themed niche, Staklogic is likely to top the charts for any player seeking that style of slot game. That's about all this game has going for it, though, and once you've played a few bonus features, you'll likely never revisit the slot again.
