Imagine, if you will...a ye olde village perched on the edge of a pretty mountain range, and you’ll have a sense of the charming world of the Giants & Sheep slot. This quintessential mediaeval village features timber-framed houses with lattice windows and a pretty fountain at the heart of the village.

Giants call this serene corner of the world home, along with, presumably, plenty of sheep, judging by the name of the game! The tranquil soundtrack combines lute melodies, birdsong, and the gentle sound of running water, while a sheep wild landing triggers the amusing sound of grazing.

On the grid  - which is made up of stone - are some, let’s just say, facially challenged giants! Although the highest-value symbol is a grey-haired character who looks like a soldier or noble, if you match 5 symbols showing his character, it leads to 10 times the bet. Landing 5 wilds also gives the same result.

• 10: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.50, 0.70 or 1.00 x the bet
• J: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.50, 0.70 or 1.00 x the bet
• Q: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.50, 0.70 or 1.00 x the bet
• K: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.50, 0.70 or 1.00 x the bet
• A: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.50, 0.70 or 1.00 x the bet
• Blue Giant: 3, 4 or 5 = 1.00, 1.40 or 2.00 x the bet
• Green Giant: 3, 4 or 5 = 1.50, 2.00 or 3.00 x the bet
• 2-Headed Giant: 3, 4 or 5 = 2.00, 3.00 or 4.00 x the bet
• Bearded Giant: 3, 4 or 5 = 2.50, 3.50 or 5.00 x the bet
• Grey-Haired Male: 3, 4 or 5 = 4.00, 7.00, 10.00 x the bet
• Sheep Wild: substitutes for all other symbols & 5 matching symbols = 10.00 x the bet
  
  

Giants & Sheep Mobile

The Giants & Sleep slot is built with cutting-edge HTML5 technology, ensuring a superb gaming experience across all devices. Whether you’re playing on Android, iOS, tablet, or desktop, you’ll enjoy excellent  gameplay.

For the Giants & Sheep slot game, there are 4 bonus features, including a Free Spins feature, giant symbols, wild symbols and a feature buy option.

Free Spins

Landing 3, 4 or 5 Bonus symbols to trigger the Free Spins feature, where you’re awarded 6, 8 or 10 Free Spins respectively. You can trigger 1 extra free spin for every extra bonus symbol that lands during the feature. There are 3  Free Spin modes, and these are randomly chosen before the bonus begins:

• Extra Bonus: More scatter symbols are added to the reels
• Extra Wild: More wild symbols are added to the reels.
• Extra Giants: More giant symbols are added to the reels.

Giant symbols

Giant symbols can randomly appear on the reels and land in sizes 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4.

Wild symbol

Like most slot games, the wild substitutes for all other symbols. There is also an expanding wild that covers an entire reel and is triggered when a giant hits the reels. When a giant pokes the reels,  the Wilds can spread so that all of the adjacent symbols turn into Wilds.

Wilds also come with multipliers of 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x so that any win passing through them is multiplied. There can be several multipliers per win.

Feature Buy

If you are non-UK based, you can use the Feature buy functionality where 50 times your bet triggers entry into the Free Spins feature where the RTP increases up to 96.5%.

Once upon a time, there was the Giants & Sheep slot game - a visually stunning creation with a slightly perplexing storyline. While the folktale-inspired theme is consistent, the connection between giants and sheep is unclear. The soldier character, the highest-value symbol, adds to the confusion - perhaps he’s a village leader? Overall, the theme feels a bit mismatched.

The bonus features shine with the giant symbols and expanding wilds that can cover large portions of the reels, leading to substantial wins. The 3 Free Spins modes - offering extra scatters, wilds, and colossal symbols - add variety. 

OLBG’s Chris Taylor recently chatted with Shelley Hannah, the Chief Product Officer of Relax Gaming. They discussed the process for creating new games, the most popular Relax Gaming slot games and what to expect in future.

Giants & Sheep scores a 4 out of 5 for its creatives and bonus features. It’s not going to reinvent the wheel, but it is pleasant to take for a few spins around the block.
