Following on from the hugely popular Huff ‘N’ Puff series, Light & Wonder have conjured up the next instalment with the somewhat predictably named “Huff ‘N’ Even More Puff” – who would have thought? But apart from adding a single word to the name, what has changed?
Well, one thing that became immediately noticeable was the addition of an extra wheel and the interesting prospect of a SUPER bonus! Bigger prizes, bigger wheels, and a much-welcome low-stakes entry point make this a compelling update for fans of the Wolf. While the global config lists a minimum 20p bet, we did see 10p stakes offered in some lobbies, so low rollers might find the occasional friendly setup too.

Theme & Presentation
The Wolf is back – slicker, louder, and cheekier. Light & Wonder lean into the house-building motif with upgraded visuals and punchier audio cues, especially when the saws start buzzing or the hats drop in clusters. It feels like a polished, modern riff on a proven formula: build your frames, upgrade to houses, then let the Wolf huff, puff, and hopefully blow out a tidy multiplier.
What’s New vs Huff ‘N’ Puff?
- SUPER Upgrade Wheel: The headline change. Land into the Wheel and you can upgrade to a SUPER version of the chosen feature, which expands the grid to 6×5 and supercharges the house-building pace and multipliers.
- More Feature Variety: On top of Hard Hat Free Spins, you’ve got Buzz Saw, Mega Hat, and Mansion features—each with its own upgrade path.
- SUPER Jackpot: A fixed 7,500x top prize via the SUPER Wheel.
- Wider RTP banding and medium volatility make it a little more approachable than some earlier, spikier entries.
Core Gameplay
- 243 ways on a 5×3 grid in base play.
- Land Hard Hats and Buzz Saws to access features.
- The loop remains: collect frames → upgrade Straw → Wood → Brick → convert to houses → Wolf blows them for multipliers.
The pacing is classic L&W: base game teases with feature symbols, balanced with enough small hits to keep you on the rails while you chase a wheel spin or a six-hat trigger.
Features Breakdown
1) Free Spins (Hard Hats)
- Trigger: Land 6 Hard Hat symbols.
- Mechanic: Frames appear where hats land. Each additional hat on a frame upgrades it: Straw → Wood → Brick.
- End Game: Frames convert to houses; the Wolf blows them to reveal multipliers. Bricks carry the strongest potential.
- Why it’s good: Clear progression with palpable tension—stacking hats on the same positions is where the magic happens.
2) Wheel Feature (Buzz Saws)
- Trigger: Land 3+ Buzz Saw symbols to spin the Wheel.
- Possible Awards:
- Buzz Saw Bonus
- Mega Hat Bonus
- Mansion Bonus
- One of four static Jackpots (capped by the top 7,500x prize in SUPER mode)
- Upgrade to the SUPER Wheel (best outcome)
- Why it’s good: Adds choice variety and a pathway to SUPER features without grinding six hats.
3) Buzz Saw Feature
- Buzz Saws slice through reels pre-bonus to add/upgrade frames before Free Spins start.
- Wolf blows multipliers at the end, similar to Hard Hat spins—but you begin with more upgraded positions thanks to the saws.
4) Mega Hat Feature
- A single Mega Hat spin drops 2×2, 3×3, or even 3×5 hat clusters, rapidly populating the grid with Straw frames.
- Great for board coverage; subsequent hats and spins focus on upgrading to Brick.
5) Mansion Feature
- Every triggering Buzz Saw symbol upgrades a position to Brick before the bonus begins.
- From there, only Brick upgrades apply—so you’re essentially locking in the premium tier and pushing for multipliers.
6) SUPER Features (The Big Draw)
- Upgrade Path: From the standard Wheel to the SUPER Wheel.
- Board Expansion: 6×5 reels with 243 ways but more coverage and faster building.
- Effect: Frames convert quicker; bigger density of upgrades; stronger end multipliers.
- SUPER Jackpot: Potential to land the 7,500x prize via the Upgrade Wheel.
- Verdict: This is the USP. When you hit SUPER anything, the game’s ceiling becomes very noticeable.
7) Buy Pass (Feature Buy)
- Option to pay extra to jump straight into bonuses (where permitted).
- Useful for content creators and impatient punters, but check your RTP and price point—buy features can carry higher variance.
RTP, Volatility, and Bet Range
- RTP ranges by market and operator: commonly 96%, with 94% and 90% configs also available (some sites list 87%–96%). Always check the help file on your casino.
- Volatility is billed as Medium, which fits the feel—steady base game with real spikes in the feature.
- Standard bets run from 0.20 to 100. Some operators list 0.10 minimum—if you’re a 10p gamer, shop around.
Max Win Potential
- Top prize: 7,500x.
- Realistically, you’ll see your best shots in the SUPER versions of the features, especially with strong Brick density and multi-position blowouts.
- Mansion and Mega Hat can both produce standouts—Mega Hat for board coverage, Mansion for consistent Brick-level outcomes.
What We Liked
- SUPER Wheel is a genuine evolution—not just a re-skin.
- Multiple feature routes keep the grind fresh.
- The house-building loop is still satisfying, with clearer progression and bigger end reveals.
- Medium volatility is friendly to broader audiences without gutting the peaks.
What Could Be Better
- The wide RTP spread means your experience can vary a lot by site – always check the config.
- Static jackpots via the Wheel are nice, but seeing more dynamic jackpot interactions would have elevated it further.
- Feature buy pricing (where available) can feel steep relative to average returns—use sparingly.
Tips for 10p Gamers
- Verify the min bet—some lobbies do offer 10p, others start at 20p.
- Aim for sessions where you can chase a Wheel trigger; it’s your best route to variety and SUPER upgrades.
- Mansion Feature is the most “consistent feeling” bonus due to the Brick focus; Mega Hat offers high ceiling via coverage.
- If you hit the standard Wheel, the Upgrade to SUPER is the dream outcome—root for it.
Verdict
Huff ‘N’ Even More Puff is exactly what a sequel should be: familiar, faster, and with a clear reason to return. The SUPER Features are the star -when you level up to the 6×5 board, the game opens up and the house-building fantasy finally feels “mega.” Factor in a generous max win of 7,500x and an approachable volatility, and Light & Wonder have delivered a crowd-pleaser that respects the original while giving us more to chase.
For the 10p crowd, keep an eye out for friendly operator configs – and when that Wheel pops, cross your fingers for the SUPER upgrade. The Wolf still blows, and yes, he still means business.
