Phileas Hog is an adventurous 3-reel slot inspired by Jules Verne’s Around the World in 80 Days. If you have read the novel or watched any of the numerous films based on that story, you are going to love this Microgaming-powered slot. The game actually belongs to the AWP (Amusement with Pleasure) type of slots that are often designed to resemble real-life slot machines standing at pubs and land-based casinos in Great Britain basically. These AWP slots differ from classic solutions in that they have a way more features and a second-screen bonus game with lots of coin prizes. In Phileas Hog, half of the symbols used are classic fruits (cherries, lemons, bars, etc.) and the other half are themed pics like a pocket watch or a balloon. There are five paylines that accept $0.1 to $2 each, so the minimum and maximum bet limits are set at $0.5 and $10 if covering the whole set of paylines.

Along with the Spin button that you should push to get things underway, and “+” and “-“ small buttons to increase and decrease a bet size, there are three buttons under each reel. They are designed to hold a respective reel while the two remaining reels are given a respin at no extra cost. This is a bonus feature and is activated randomly during a normal play.

Payouts in Phileas Hog are rather typical for a three-reel slot like this one. Fruit symbols pay x1 to x8, while themed symbols pay x10 to x2000, with the highest award granted for hitting three Phileas Hog symbols along any active payline. So if placing the maximum possible bet, the max win would be $4000.

After a winning spin, the slot offers to gamble your win in a Gamble feature, and being successful in this gamble round you get access to a second-screen extra bonus that starts immediately. You will see a wheel of fortune and lots of balloons high in the sky and here a real fun begins. You get to spin the wheel that is divided into multiple sections with different awards marked on each section such as cash, nudges, additional features or mystery prizes. Due to the second-to-none bonus game and lots of alluring features, Phileas Hog would be a great entertainment and fun for many three-reel slot lovers.
