Giants & Sheep Slot Review
Stomping giants cross paths with bleating sheep in Relax Gaming’s latest 2025 release, Giants & Sheep!
Working together across the reels, adorable sheep and dribbling giants trigger up to 3 Wild Features, 3 Free Spins modes, and a ‘gigantic’ 10,000x max win capability.
What seems to be an unlikely alliance, the pair work together particularly well. During gameplay, Giant symbols up to 4×4 in size may appear, along with Expanding and Spreading Wilds when the giant punches and prods the main reel frame.
Although an unusual theme, we’ve witnessed Giants team up with Gnomes in Peter & Sons’ 2024 release, ironically named Gnomes & Giants. These brutish creatures have a reputation for being destructive and foul-smelling, and although the latter may be true, Relax Gaming has revealed them to be gentle giants underneath.
Will ‘ewe’ stumble upon giant rewards within the flock? Let’s play on and find out!
Base Game & Features
Giants & Sheep is a standard 5-reel Video Slot with 4 rows, 40 active pay lines, and varying bet sizes between £.€0.10 and £.€100 per spin.
Wins are calculated when 3-5 matching High or Low-paying symbols land from the leftmost reel. Each winning combination delivers a win evaluation between 0.5x and 10x your bet. Wilds substitute for all symbols except Scatters, awarding a win of 10x your bet for 5-of-a-kind.
This game is classified as Medium Volatility, with an overall RTP of 96.10% and a generous max win cap of 10,000x your bet. Relax Gaming has also included AutoPlay and Bonus Buy options for players outside the UK.
Giant Symbols
During gameplay, any High or Low-paying symbol can appear on the reel set as a Giant Symbol of 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4.
Wild Features
In the base game, Wild Symbols can deliver 1 of 2 Features when a Giant hits or rocks the main reel frame – these include:
- Wild Expand: Once active, all Wild symbols in view will expand to fill the entire reel they are currently on.
- Wild Spread: Once active, all Wilds on the reels will spread so that all adjacent symbols transform into Wilds.
In addition to the above features, Wild symbols may also appear with a random Multiplier between x2 and x10. When a winning combination passes through more than 1 Multiplier Wild, their values are added together and applied.
Please note, that Wild Expand and Wild Spread features may appear with a combination of Giant Symbols and/or Wild Multipliers. This outcome is referred to as the Wild Giant Multiplier Mix.
Bonus Buy
Non-UK players can head straight into the Free Spins mode for an additional 50x their current bet.
Free Spins
Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatters in the base game triggers the Free Spins mode, awarding 6, 8, and 10 Free Spins respectively. Once active, the game chooses 1 of 3 modes from the following:
- Extra Bonus Free Spins: Awards more Scatter symbols to the reels
- Extra Wild Free Spins: Awards more Wild symbols to the reels
- Extra Giant Free Spins: Awards more Giant symbols to the reels, with a minimum of 2×2 guaranteed per spin
During Free Spins, landing a Scatter symbol awards an additional +1 Free Spin.
Our Verdict
Forget everything you’ve learned about Giants from movies and books, for Relax Gaming has portrayed them in a much tamer manner through the game’s design and cartoon animations. Relax Gaming has not gone into much detail with the storyline, but the heroic swordsman makes us believe that the Giants may not be as friendly as we first thought.
Moving onto the game’s features and mechanics, Giants & Sheep is loaded with interesting elements, both in the base game and the Free Spins round. Regular Wilds are able to transform into Expanding or Spreading Wilds when the Giant hits or tips the main reel frame, along with an individual Multiplier Wild feature.
Thanks to the Multiplier Wild feature, small wins can be enhanced into significant ones by multiplying winning combinations that pass through them by up to x10. This, combined with Giant symbols makes for some pretty epic wins in the base game and Free Spins round.
Talking of Free Spins, once the round is active, the game will choose 1 of 3 modes, awarding either additional Scatters, Wilds, or Giant symbols. Regardless of which mode is awarded, you are still able to receive the other functions as you would in the base game.
This game has been labelled a Medium Volatility slot with an overall RTP of 96.10% and a generous max win cap of 10,000x your bet. The volatility rating, combined with the above-average RTP and appealing max win cap makes Giants & Sheep a promising addition to Relax Gaming’s portfolio.
*Giants & Sheep is available to play across UK Online Casinos from the 6th February 2025
