Giants & Sheep

One might wonder what inspired the creation of this title: is it an adaptation of the Scottish tale “The Giant and the Shepherd”? A reinterpretation of the epic tale of Odysseus facing the Cyclops Polyphemus? Or perhaps it has its roots in another medieval tale… it’s hard to say, but we do know that we’ll be taken to a charming medieval village nestled in the heart of picturesque countryside.

It’s there that this strange confrontation takes place, where on one side we find fantastic monsters including giants, two-headed trolls, and cyclopes, and on the other, a simple flock of sheep with a knight. The combination is so unlikely that it becomes a little absurd, even comical at times, and this is reinforced by the characters’ amusing animations and facial expressions on the reels. The soundtrack, meanwhile, transports us back to medieval times with a gentle harp melody. The grid is beautifully integrated into a stone fountain, around which stand statues of sheep, swords in hand, acting as water-spewing gargoyles.

These enormous symbols (2×2, 3×3, 4×4) significantly increase the chances of obtaining winning combinations.

Tackling the giants and protecting the sheep will first require placing a bet of between $0.10 and $100 per spin. You’ll play Giants & Sheep on a grid consisting of 5×4 reels and 40 paylines. Technically, the volatility is medium, the RTP is 96.10%, and the win potential reaches 10,000x the maximum bet.

To win prizes, you’ll need to align 3, 4, or 5 identical symbols, from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel. The knight, troll, giant, and cyclops symbols pay between 1x and 10x the bet, while the A, K, Q, J, and 10 symbols pay between 0.50x and 1x the bet. There’s also the sheep as a Wild, capable of paying 10x the bet for a combination of 5 aligned.

Coming with these regular payouts are Giant symbols, Wild features, and Free Spins with various modifiers to trigger.

Giant Symbols

Giant Symbols are large symbols that can appear randomly on the reels in 2×2, 3×3 or 4×4 formats. Their presence increases the chances of obtaining winning combinations, as they cover more positions on the grid than standard symbols.

Wild Expand

When a giant comes into play and hits the reels, it can activate the Wild Expand effect. This causes the Wild symbols to expand, covering the entire reel on which they have appeared.
In this way, the possibilities of creating winning combinations are multiplied.

Wild Spread

Another feature that can be activated when a giant appears on the reels is the Wild Spread. In this case, the Wild symbols not only expand, but also transform all adjacent symbols into Wilds, significantly increasing the chances of winning.

Wild Multiplier

Wild Multipliers add an extra level of advantage to the game. These special Wild symbols appear randomly and multiply all wins that pass through them. If multiple Wild Multipliers are part of the same winning combination, their values ​​are added together, resulting in even higher multipliers.

Wild Giant Multiplier Mix

The Wild Expand and Wild Spread features can combine with Giant Symbols and Wild Multipliers, creating a mix of effects that can lead to much bigger wins.

Free Spins

Land 3, 4, or 5 Bonus symbols to trigger 6, 8, or 10 Free Spins, respectively. You will receive an additional Free Spin for each additional Bonus symbol appearing during the Free Spins.
