Base Game
Grid and paylines
Five reels, three rows, twenty-five fixed paylines. The payline count is not adjustable.
Swooping Reels
Symbols forming a win are removed and new symbols fall into the vacated positions. The grid is re-evaluated, and the process repeats while each drop produces a further win.
The mechanic is functionally a cascade, and it is the input to the meter system documented below. Each win produced within a chain counts toward the streak.
Wilds
The beehive is the Wild symbol. It substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter and the Moon symbol.
A second, conditional source of Wilds exists through the Pig conversion mechanic below.
Consecutive Win Meter
This is the defining system of the title, and its progression rate is specific.
A meter sits above the reels and tracks consecutive wins. Every second win lights one icon beneath one of the three Pig symbols. Two lit icons under a given Pig convert that Pig to Wild for the remainder of the streak.
Six consecutive wins therefore convert all three Pig symbols to Wild.
The rate matters: the meter advances per two wins, not per win, so a six-win streak is the threshold for full conversion rather than a three-win streak.
Reset condition
The meter resets on any spin that produces no win. The streak is the operative unit, not cumulative wins over a session. A sequence of large but non-consecutive wins builds nothing.
Free Spins
Trigger and award
Three or more Moon Scatter symbols award 10 free spins. The round is named Blowing Down the House.
Moon collection
During free spins, Moon symbols can land on the fifth reel and are collected across the round.
Collecting three awards two additional free spins. Collecting six awards a further two free spins and applies a 2x multiplier to the remainder of the round.
The collection is cumulative within the round, and the six-Moon threshold is the only recorded multiplier source in the game.
Jackpot
No jackpot system is recorded.
Max Win Conditions
The recorded max win is 1,400x stake.
The structural route combines the free spins round with Moon collection reaching the six-symbol threshold for the 2x multiplier, alongside a cascade chain long enough to convert Pig symbols to Wild. The two systems compound: converted Pigs increase the likelihood of the chain continuing, which in turn extends the streak.
The 1,400x figure is a cap, not an outcome frequency. No probability data is recorded.

Unpublished and Unverified Figures
The following are absent from the verified record and have not been estimated:

- Whether Pig conversions carry into free spins
- Hit frequency
- Minimum and maximum bet range
- Release date
- Alternative RTP configurations supplied to operators
RTP is recorded as a single figure of 97.34%. This sits materially above the 96% band typical of this index. Quickspin titles are supplied in multiple RTP configurations to some operators, and a lower variant may be in circulation. No variant set is confirmed here, so only the recorded figure is stated.
