Don’t ruffle your feathers, there’s a new game swooping onto your device and it has plenty of paying potential to let you spread your wings and fly. The iGaming studio Green Tube is behind this title amply named Feather Frenzy online slot. A huge maximum jackpot could see you soaring in the clouds while a healthy dose of free spins will also see you avoid falling foul of minimal winnings. Does this game have enough for you to sink your talons into for a high paying time?
This is a very bright and cheerful title, with colourful graphics and well-crafted animations. The theme revolves around a foursome of exotic birds, all smiling and happy to be part of the show. The background to the reels is definitely the habitat of these winged creatures as it is a lush assortment of green trees and a glowing sun. The pay table isn’t as complex as games we’ve reviewed of late, consisting of 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylines. The reels also spin, which might seem obvious to some but today it is becoming popular for studios to implement falling reels.
The maximum jackpot that can fall your way is a gargantuan £800,000.00 which is an absolutely colossal amount for a game not hosting a progressive jackpot. This is even more spectacular when one notes that the maximum bet is only £40 per spin. Most games would set the max bet at over £100 per spin if granting a potential payout this big. This game does border on the higher variance side, so expect a few lulls where wins seem evasive, however when they do come they will generally be higher than the average game. Players will find this title wonderfully optimised to mobile devices with very high response speeds.
The birds form part of the symbol makeup – the higher paying symbols to be precise. Of the 4 birds you’ll find a gold coloured chick, a pink coloured chick, a red parrot and a blue pelican looking bird. The blue guy is the highest paying of all the symbols if you line up 5 of a kind across the paylines. The lower paying symbols are traditional in terms of slot games. They are 5 different fruits consisting of cherries, a lemon, a plum, grapes and watermelon. The watermelon is the highest value symbol of all the fruits and can generously compensate you for landing 5 of a kind.
Green Tube has included the usual wild and scatter symbols for bonus functionality. The wild, which substitutes regular symbols to create winning lines, is the diamond. The scatter is a golden egg.
The fact that there is a scatter symbol means but 1 thing – a Free Spins feature. This isn’t anything unique but they exist because they can be highly effective in rewarding you with mass loads of winnings.
To trigger the feature you’ll need to land 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols on the reels. By landing 3 scatters you’ll receive 10 free spins, landing 4 scatters awards 15 free spins, and 5 scatters will take you to 25 free spins.
There is another symbol which you’ll see from time to time – a set of keys. One or more of these symbols will unlock secret prizes when they land on the reels. If the keys fall during the free spins then you’ll only need one set of keys to land on reels 2, 3 and 4 to unlock prizes from the bird symbols.
This game is a clucking good time if you regularly access the free spins round. This is where the majority of your wins should come, and should you land key symbols during the free spins then the rewards could get really superb. Achieving a maximum jackpot on an online slot title is no easy feat, but should you manage to collect the £800,000.00 prize then life as you know it will change forever. Try this feathery title for a smashing time, and some funds to whet your beak.
