Brick House Bonanza

A time when stories transported us to magical environments, comfortably installed on the family sofa, without worrying about whether the fridge would last until the end of the month. Fortunately, there are games like Pragmatic Play’s Brick House Bonanza slot, released in January 2025, which allow us to disconnect from all responsibilities in order to immerse ourselves in the nostalgic story of the three little pigs.

How about actively participating in the construction of these famous houses, while foiling the plans of the big bad wolf? In a rural environment, in the middle of a country path, this scene takes place where anthropomorphic animals appear on the reels in pretty animations. The game’s features such as Free Spins take up the story of the tale a little with construction mechanics but there is also a wheel that can release various random rewards.

The Brick House Bonanza slot machine includes 5 reels with 3 rows and 243 ways to win. Highly volatile and with an RTP of 96.50%, this slot can pay up to 10,000x the bet and will require a bet of between $0.20 and $240 to start playing.

The game features random jackpots such as MINI, MINOR, MAJOR and GRAND, which can reach up to 5000 times the total stake.

In Brick House Bonanza, symbols pay out the most when you land a combination of 5 matching icons on the reels, giving you the chance to win bigger prizes.
The symbol values ​​are divided into two categories: lower value and higher value.

The lower paying symbols are the numbers and letters of the playing cards: 9, 10, J, Q, K and A. A combination of 5 of these symbols pays between 0.15X and 0.2X the total stake.
The higher paying symbols include a saw, a trowel and the three little pigs (blue, green and orange). With 5 matching symbols in this category, the prizes increase significantly, paying between 0.35X and 2X the stake.

But that’s not all: the game also offers special symbols that add dynamism and additional winning potential. Among these we find the Wilds, represented by the wolf, which replaces all normal symbols, with the exception of the Bonus Wheel symbol and the Scatter, in turn represented by a piggy bank.

Free Spins with marked positions and the random rewards delivered by the Bonus Wheel are the two main features of the Brick House Bonanza game.

Free Spins

The Free Spins feature is activated by landing 6 or more Scatter symbols on the reels. When activated, the feature starts with 6 free spins and introduces an interesting progression mechanic.

All positions occupied by the Scatters that activated the feature are marked with a straw box.
During the free spins, each time a new Scatter symbol appears, its position is marked with a straw box, unless it is already occupied. If the position is already marked, the mark is upgraded to a wooden box and then to a brick box.

If a Scatter symbol appears in a position already marked with bricks, the upgrade moves to a random position on the screen. If all positions are already marked with bricks, each additional Scatter awards an extra prize equal to 10 times the total stake.

At the end of the free spins, all marked positions are transformed into houses. A wolf blows away the houses revealing the associated random prizes, which increase based on the material of the house:

• Straw houses: Prizes of 0.6x, 1x or 1.5x the total stake.
• Wooden houses: Prizes of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, MINI for 12x, 2x MINI for 24x or MINOR for 60x the total stake.
• Brick houses: Prizes of 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 100x, 250x, MINI for 12x, 2x MINI for 24x, MINOR for 60x, MAJOR for 500x or GRAND for 5000x the total stake.

In addition, getting 3 or more Scatter symbols during the Free Spins feature can retrigger the Free Spins and get 1 extra spin. During this feature, special reels are used to increase the winning potential.

Random Awards

The Wheel Bonus symbol can appear on any reel, finding 3 or more will trigger the bonus and get a random reward from the following:

• Mega Bank Feature: Once revealed, a Scatter covering 2×2, 3×3, 3×5 or 2 Scatters covering 2×2 positions can appear on the screen to unlock Free Spins with the marked positions based on the Big Scatter positions.
• Windmill Feature: Once revealed, the Wheel Bonus symbols will roll to the right of the grid leaving behind marked locations. Then, Free Spins are triggered with these marked positions.
• Brick House Feature: Once revealed, Wheel Bonus symbols transform into brick slots and Free Spins are triggered with these marked positions in place. During Free Spins, all new Scatters will release positions marked as bricks.
• Jackpot: A Mini, Minor, Major or Grand jackpot worth 12x, 60x, 500x or 5000x respectively is won immediately.

Buy Feature

You can pay 100x or 200x the stake to access the Free Spins or Wheel Bonus features at any time during the game.

Participate in the construction and let the wolf blow to release prizes

While not much really happens in the base game, you will have to wait until the Free Spins to be able to indulge in building using Scatters as materials on the game grid. Once the bonus is over, the marked positions turn into additional wins. If the Wheel Bonus is activated, it’s time to get the highest rewards, either by triggering the enhanced Free Spins bonus or by activating a local jackpot, for wins of up to 10,000x the stake.
