Pug’s have become almost oddly popular as a concept over recent years, with not only a rise in the number of people who own the breed of dog, but also various clothing designers utilising pugs in their imagery.The online casino world has been uncharacteristically slow to react to this phenomenon, but Lightning Box has seen the opportunity, and pounced on it with Astro Pug.
About the slot
With five reels and 1,296 ways to win, Astro Pug is playable from 50p to £250 a spin on all compatible desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.The name may make you expect a pug in space, but the Astro is actually a reference to astrology (we think) as Astro Pug has a Chinese theme.Taking traditional images such as the various animals used in the Chinese calendar, and modernising them, this slot looks a little confusing, like it isn’t really sure what’s it’s supposed to be.However, there is excitement to be found here, not least due to the middle real being a 16-symbol Reelfacta, adding a very different look to the slot, as well as some exciting gameplay options.
Gameplay
The base game doesn’t offer much in terms of payouts, with the highest value symbols offering 2.5x your bet, but the existence of multiplier wilds on the Reelfacta reel that offer up to a 4x multiplier can help with that.Land five or more scatters on the outer ring of the Reelfacta and you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature, which offers up to 12 spins.During this feature, +1 wilds will land on the Reelfacta, sticking to the reels and adding a spin, if a bomb lands on the Reelfacta, the free spins feature comes to an end.An interesting slot, if one that struggles a bit with its identity, Astro Pug is worth a look.
