From Hard Hats to house prizes

  1. 1

    Follow the Reel Ways combinations

    Matching paying symbols form wins across adjacent reels, starting at the leftmost reel. The Wolf acts as a wild on reels two, three and four, substituting for the regular paying symbols. Hard Hats have their own role in starting and extending the feature.

  2. 2

    Start the Free Games Bonus

    Hard Hat symbols start the Free Games Bonus in the original rules described below. Hats create straw frames on reel positions. A further hat in that position improves straw to wood, then wood to brick. The frames remain for the bonus.

  3. 3

    Build through the bonus

    Hard Hats during Free Games award additional free games. Each reel position holds one frame, with its material showing the upgrade reached.

  4. 4

    Let the Wolf reveal the result

    At the end of Free Games, the frames become houses. The Wolf blows them down to reveal credit prizes and, for eligible house types, bonus or jackpot awards. The house material determines its prize range and award options. These rules describe the original land-based game; the browser demo opens an online edition with its own Help and Pays screens.

Original Huff N Puff and the online family#

The original game’s defining sequence is easy to follow: collect Hard Hats, improve frames, then watch the Wolf reveal what the houses contain. Those building stages give the bonus a visible progression. The pigs, tools and traffic cones also form ordinary Reel Ways wins, so the base game and the house feature have different jobs.

The family expands that idea in several directions. More Puff brings a wheel into the online game; Even More Puff and Lots of Puff develop the feature set further. A modifier in the title matters when you compare rules. Start with the series directory for the full overview, then open the page for the edition you have chosen.

The browser demo opens an online edition with its own Help and Pays screens. It gives you a place to learn the on-screen controls. Those online Help and Pays screens govern the demo; the original land-based rules and credit payouts govern the cabinet game.

Reading the original payouts#

Awards on the original cabinet are shown in credits, and the machine’s denomination converts credits into money. Matching symbols pay across adjacent reels from the left, and the highest winning combination applies. The Wolf substitutes for the regular symbols on reels two, three and four; Hard Hats trigger the bonus mechanics. The machine’s own Pays and Help screens list the value of every symbol, so read them for the exact figures on the cabinet in front of you.

Keep the machine’s denomination and its bet setting separate when reading a payout: one converts credits into money, the other scales the stake behind each spin.

House prizes in the bonus#

At the end of the Free Games Bonus the frames are replaced by Straw, Wood or Brick houses, and the Wolf blows them down to award credit prizes and jackpots. The house material determines the prize tier and the awards open to it, which is why each upgrade is worth watching. Ordinary symbol combinations continue to use their regular payouts while the bonus uses its own reel set.

The named jackpots are separate from the ordinary symbol payouts. Their cash amounts belong to the machine and its configuration. The RTP and configurations page explains how settings differ between the original and the online editions, with their different percentage and jackpot scopes.
