Fugly Pets

This is what you’ll discover in Stakelogic’s Fugly Pets slot machine, released in April 2024. It will introduce you to a selection of pets that are particularly unadvantageous in terms of aesthetics, but no less endearing, you’ll see.

The scene is set in an environment that seems to have been abandoned for a very long time. Unidentified objects are strewn about, rust is everywhere, rusty barbed wire and cables hang from the ceiling, and the sizzling lights cast their glare on a mold that seems to have taken up residence here. It’s a most repulsive setting, one that one imagines filling the air with the most unappetizing odors. And yet, despite this dilapidated environment, Stakelogic has succeeded in creating graphics of the highest quality, rich in detail. Is it an old store, a technical room or an abandoned warehouse? Whatever it is, this is the theater they’ve chosen to introduce you to these funny, unattractive but hopefully charming mascots.

You’ll quickly become familiar with Fugly Pets’ features, as well as with the endearing ugliness of these pets.

The Fugly Pets slot is played on a 5-reel, 5-row grid with 3125 winning paths, medium-to-high volatility, 96% RTP and a potential payout of up to 5000x the stake. To experience this environment filled with ugly yet charming animals, players will need to wager between $0.10 and $50 per spin. All symbols pay from left to right, starting with the reel furthest to the left, and you’ll need to line up 3 to 5 identical symbols for the standard ones, and 2 or more for the best ones to win a prize. Apart from the A, K, Q, J and 10 symbols, which pay between $0.10 and $0.80 per spin, the French bulldog, kitten, parrot, rat and lizard can pay between 0.10x and 5x the stake. Teddy bear symbols can also appear on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5, replacing all symbols except the Bonus symbol.

With each win, the winning combinations are removed by the phenomenon of cascades to make new ones appear, sometimes creating several wins in a row. Added to this, free spins and symbol multipliers can enhance your winnings, and these multipliers associated with strong symbols will persist during the bonus. Other special symbols include Roadkill symbols, Super symbols and bonus purchase options.

Multiply Symbol

The symbol multiplier starts at x1 and is assigned to each of the five strong symbols in the Fugly Pets game. When a strong symbol creates a winning combination, that symbol’s multiplier is increased before the cascade. All wins following the cascade involving this strong symbol will have the win multiplier applied. This multiplier resets to x1 at the next spin or before Free Spins rewards.

Roadkill Symbol

The flaming wheel symbol will only appear on the last reel, remaining inactive until the payout process is complete and no more stunts are possible. Then, it will move to the right, removing the paying symbols in its path. Each symbol will be transformed into a Wild, destroyed or left unchanged. Destroyed symbols will trigger a cascade.

Super Symbol

Super symbols of 2×2, 3×3 or 4×4 size can appear on all reels. These symbols suppress those below and scroll to the bottom of the reel. The empty spaces above will then be filled with new symbol groups. Super symbols pay as if separated into regular 1×1 symbols.

Free Spins

The tin can is the bonus symbol capable of triggering Free Spins. Find 3, 4 or 5 of them anywhere on the reels to trigger 10, 12 or 15 Free Spins. It’s possible to win even more Free Spins during the bonus. The Multiplier symbol becomes persistent during the bonus, meaning it will never reset until the bonus ends.

Buy Bonus

You can opt for different bonus purchase options to access the Free Spins. Receive 8, 12 or 15 Free Spins for 100x, 160x or 250x the stake, or opt for random choice.

Up to 5000x the stake to win

Stakelogic has succeeded in providing a complete slot machine with an original theme and plenty of bonuses to trigger. One good thing to find here is the way the winning combinations are created, requiring only two symbols for the best ones. This not only makes for regular, small wins, but also makes it easier to trigger stunts while increasing the symbol multiplier. During Free Spins, the symbol multiplier becomes persistent, adding an extra touch of excitement. The potential payout of 5000x the stake is in line with what the studio usually offers, but we have to admit that this game surprised us in more ways than one.
