DEGEN Studios presents Howl N' Huff: a new high volatility Cluster Pays slot

DEGEN Studios has launched Howl N' Huff, a high volatility Cluster Pays slot inspired by the classic tale of the three little pigs. This release introduces a system where straw, wood, and brick houses are built on the reels through winning combinations, and can be upgraded through successive wins on the same positions. Thus, each sturdier house yields greater rewards, including multipliers and prize modifiers.

How Howl N' Huff works: Cluster Pays Mechanics and House Building

The core architecture of the game implements the gradual building of houses based on clustered symbols. Each time a winning cluster occurs in a standout position, that position progresses from a straw house to a wooden one, and subsequently to a brick house. Higher-level houses reveal better payouts in subsequent sequences.

Among the most relevant elements are:

• Straw, wooden, and brick houses created by forming winning clusters
• Standout positions that evolve through higher levels with consecutive wins
• Prizes that increase as each house tier is surpassed

Howl N' Huff Activation and the Wolf's Role: Multipliers and Modifiers

The exclusive Howl N' Huff feature activates when a Wolf symbol appears after all winning cascades conclude. The Wolf blows down and knocks over the houses in order, revealing multipliers or modifiers. The modifiers – Extra, Reset, and Multi – add new houses, rebuild active houses with different values, reset the Howl N' Huff sequence, or apply multipliers of up to 10x to the total accumulated prize within the feature.

“The destruction in Howl N' Huff has a purpose. Each house that falls can reveal something that keeps the sequence active,” commented Danny Gordon, Head of Studio at DEGEN Studios.

This purposeful randomness transforms the Wolf's intervention into a strategic feature rather than merely aesthetic.

Bonuses, Free Spins, and the Golden Fortress Mode

The slot includes Free Spin features under the modes Wolf Watch and Wolf at the Door, which add variations to the free spins rounds. The Golden Fortress mode, accessible with five Scatter symbols or via the Mystery Buy option, is the climax of the game. Here, a gold house (Gold House) is introduced that retains its position throughout the bonus, activating the Howl N' Huff effect on every spin.

The specifics of Golden Fortress are:

• Permanent gold house on each spin
• Guaranteed Howl N' Huff activation on every spin
• Maximum prizes of up to 150x by multiplier
• Declared maximum prize of 10,000x the bet value

“In Golden Fortress, the Gold Houses, guaranteed activations, and maximum values make every spin have true max win potential,” pointed out Gordon.
