The O'Tooles Feud

Usually, you wouldn’t want to get between two Irishmen hashing out their differences, but this might be one of those times when we all make an exception. The O'Tooles Feud is one of the latest online slot machines coming out of casino games developer Slot Factory, and while it uses a very familiar theme, there are a few bonus features to suit the players loving interactivity. This is because there's a cash trail that you can activate, uncovering all sorts of lovely prizes. There's also a free spins feature where more spins can be added to the total. Has the studio come out swinging with this effort?

First of all, the Irish theme is way past its sell-by date. Some themes that get used over and over in the case of online slots have us all calling for innovation. Regardless, Slot Factory thought otherwise, and therefore we have The O'Tooles Feud, which sees two brothers, we presume, at odds with each other. One of them happens to be a leprechaun, so maybe the brother in the purple garb has a life-long jealousy? Slot Factory has been on it in terms of storylines lately, with Sneaky Spinners and Pearl Prizes being recent slots releases, so this could be considered a step backwards. As is now standard, all players will be able to spin the 5 reels consisting of 15 paylines on mobile devices as well as desktop devices for convenience sake.

The O'Tooles Feud is a slot that carries medium levels of volatility, so for all online casino gamers that prefer to take their play slow and easy, this will be added value. The reason for this is that wins don’t come with the powerful returns you get in volatile slots online, but they happen more often making things a little less thrill-seeking. In contrast, however, there is an aspect that thrill-seeking iGamers will love, and that is the size of the largest possible stake that can be placed – 450 per spin. On the other side of the spectrum is a minimum bet size of 0.15, so as you can tell, there's a stake size in there that should suit players from all budgets.

Any review of online slot titles that can be found at our casino site will list the higher value icons as being mostly the same. In The O'Tooles Feud, there's a four leaf clover, a horse shoe and a green diamond, which makes them by no means unique. The lower paying icons are exactly what we’d expect, being playing cards 9, 10, J, Q, K and A, making for a very formulaic symbol selection.

There are four extra icons that can land at various points in The O'Tooles Feud. There’s a wild that will substitute all regular icons to possibly create winning combinations. Other symbols include a Free Spins icon, a Plus Spins icon and the fighting brothers symbol.

To trigger the free spins you'll need to land 3 Free Spins symbols on the same spin, specifically on reels 1, 3 and 5. Instead of being given a set number of spins, you will need to pick one of the symbols that triggered the feature to reveal your number of spins. Once in the spins, the Plus Spins symbol comes into play. It can land on the middle reel, and when it does gives you another pick me the option to reveal either 1 or 2 extra spins to be added to the total.

The trail feature, which is a bit like rolling dice and moving places on a board game, will activate by landing the O'Toole brothers symbol on reels 2, 3 and 4. You'll need to spin a mini reel which moves you along the trail. There are multipliers of up to 3x your stake, while you can also land on a mystery block to either award a prize or trigger a collect and end the feature.

On the whole, this isn’t a bad game. The O'Tooles Feud might feel like a slot we’ve played hundreds of times before, probably because of the theme and basic reel structure, but the cash trail and free spins are pretty good, and can definitely see the bout between the O’Toole’s return the cash prizes you went in search of.
