Finn and the Swirly Spin Slot Review

How To Play

The slot is built on a 5×5 grid and is therefore larger than most of its competitors in the 3×5 format. As low symbols, it gives you card images of spades and hearts. In general, the grid is visually overlaid on a large rock, surrounded by a lush green Irish landscape with rainbow in the background. For other symbols, one finds images of the forest, such as an acorn, or a four-petal cloverleaf; but also a lucky hook, rubies and a mysterious key. So it’s a row of lucky charms that are hopefully well planned for the player here. The Rubies are the best symbol and give you a x50 win of your bet if you can gather 5 of them on a payline.

The wild symbol is the star and can substitute for all other symbols except the scatter to form winning combinations. The scatter symbol is the key. You can win with or without the wild. If you win with a wild, it explodes and either erases its line or its reel

Winning combinations can be shaped vertically and horizontally (cluster pays) and consist of at least 3 symbols. You will also find the avalanche feature here, i.e. if you achieve a winning combination, the symbols that were involved explode and the new ones go into it’s position.

Special Features

In the base game there are 4 bonus features that are triggered purely randomly, and for which you only need a little luck:

• Starfall Wilds : Adds 2-5 more wilds to the reels.
• Dragon Destroy: Destroys an arbitrary number of symbols, triggering an avalanche that can lead to victory.
• Irish Luck: A horizonal/vertical line of a particular symbol is added to guarantee you a win.
• Magic Transform: Turns all singing/heart symbols into better symbols.

Free Games

In the free game feature you get a little different gameplay. The usual 3 scatter symbols are not necessary. Instead, the scatter (the key symbol) must remain in the middle of the grid after no further avalanches are possible. Only then will you come to the free game feature. There are 4 features to choose from, which are directly related to the bonus features of the base game. You need to collect a certain number of keys.

• Star Bar (1 key): You get 7 Star Bar free spins, where 2-5 wilds are added to each spin.
• Lava Lair (4 keys): you get 3 Lava Lair games. In addition, a random number of symbols destroy themselves and cause avalanches with potential gains. Instead of the key symbol, a sticky wild appears.
• Lucky Mug (9 Keys): You will receive 4 Lucky Mug free spins and a horizontal/vertical line with a selected same symbol that guarantees you winnings.
• Golden Pot (12 keys): You get 2 Golden Pot free spins, where all low symbols turn into higher symbols.

Gaming Experience

Finn and the Swirly Spin has a cartoon character with graphics that reminds us a little of Super Mario 64. Funny and carefree, it looks very relaxing, and with its bright colours also very inviting. Finn, the leprechaun, plays tunes on his flute to bring you luck.

Conclusion

Finn and the Swirly Spin is a nice slot with lots of extras. With a relatively high maximum bet of €200 per spin, the slot is also interesting for those who like to bet a little more. In addition, there is a high RTP and a maximum win of 50000 coins.

Whether you like the subject or not is a matter of taste. It’s not our cup of tea, but we found the bonus to be cool, and free spins features cool that NetEnt has packed in there are great. It’s best to try the slot yourself and see if you like it.
