Front Runner Link and Win

It's time to head to the racecourse, pick a horse and watch it compete against a field of contenders in the Front Runner Link and Win online slot. This game comes with two different bonus modes that revolve around traditional mechanics, one of which is linked to the four jackpots displayed in the top left. Front Runner Link and Win has rather basic visuals, with the final stretch of a track being visible in the background. It features a total of 5 reels, 40 pay lines, and a minimum bet size of 0.20 per spin. 

This slot was produced by Slingshot Studios, a company that is known for releasing titles that have a unique personality and feel to them. Some of the finest games in their portfolio include the likes of Links of Fire, African Legends, and the incredibly popular Spinal Tap. Slingshot Studios also put an emphasis on mobile compatibility, with Front Runner Link and Win being optimised for a wide variety of phones and tablets. 

The standard symbols in Front Runner Link and Win revolve around the different playing card suits, with a purple club, green diamond, red heart, and blue spade all being included. Next up are the premiums, shown as a horseshoe, a pair of binoculars, a jockey's cap, a champagne bucket, and a horse. Should five of these form a matching combination, players will be awarded with 4x, 4.5x, 5x, 6x, or 7.50x their stake size, respectively. 

Front Runner Link and Win also features three premium symbols. First is the wild, shown as the logo of the game itself, which can replace any of the aforementioned icons as part of a combination. There is also a scatter symbol and a coin icon, both linked to their corresponding bonus modes. 

As the name suggests, the Link and Win mechanic has been integrated into this title. This bonus can be triggered if six or more coin symbols appear during the same spin, at which point they will lock into place before all other icons are removed from the board. Players will be awarded with three spins, and only coin symbols can land for the duration of the round. If one does, it will also become sticky, and the number of spins will reset to three. 

It's worth mentioning that all coins will either have a fixed value, or a jackpot displayed on them. Fixed values can be up to 15x the stake size, and the mini, minor, and major jackpots sit at 40x, 100x, and 1,000x, respectively. Now, there is also a grand jackpot with a value of 5,000x the bet. However, this can only be awarded to players if all 20 positions on the board are filled with coins. When no more spins remain or all of the spaces are occupied, the values on each coin will be totalled up and awarded. 

There is also a free spins mode in Front Runner Link and Win, which can be triggered if 3, 4, or 5 scatter icons land simultaneously. Players will start this round with ten free spins while also being awarded 1x, 10x, or 100x their stake size, depending on how many scatter symbols appeared initially. This mode plays like the base game. However, wilds and coin symbols become 'Super Stacked', meaning there is more present on each reel. Due to this, it's possible to trigger the Link and Win bonus during this round, too. 

Front Runner Link and Win is a rather simple slot with modern graphics and smooth animations. The standout aspects are the two bonuses, with super stacked icons being introduced during the free spins mode!
