Finn and the Swirly Spin

Finn and the Swirly Spin is a brand-new concept in online slots design. This game utilizes a grid system rather than reels to cycle symbols onto the playing area.

Grid System

The game features a 5x5 grid in which any 3 or more matching symbols on a horizontal or vertical line count as a winning pay line. Once a winning combination is made, those symbols disappear then new ones fill the gaps. A “spin” will continue as long as symbols are being cleared from the board.

The game board is a swirly box with a key hole in the centre. Whenever a spin begins, the key symbol starts in the furthest position. As pay lines are made and those symbols disappear, that key will work its way towards the centre of the board. Clear enough symbols so the key reaches the centre and a Free Spins game will be triggered. While matching pay lines can certainly produce big wins, the largest wins are made by clearing symbols and unlocking bonuses with the key.

Wilds Everywhere

Whenever a winning combination is made without the use of a Wild symbol, a Wild will appear where the combination was made. That Wild symbol can then be used in any later “respin.”

If a Wild is required to make a winning combination (for ex, a 3-symbol combo) then no Wild will be awarded when the symbols disappear. However, if a Wild is part of a combination that didn’t require the Wild (for ex, 1st symbol in a 4-symbol combo) a Wild will appear when the combination is cleared from the grid.

Free Spins Bonus Games

The longer the user plays, the more chances they have to score large bonuses. During a playing session, the number of keys the player collects are displayed on the main screen. Patience is definitely the name of this game. The following free spins bonuses may be awarded:

• The Star Bar (1 key): Clear enough tiles to allow the key to reach the centre keyhole and unlock the free spins game. Each time a spin occurs in the free spin bonus, 2 or more random wilds will shoot out from the centre and land somewhere on the board. The player is guaranteed at least one winning pay line per spin.

• The Lava Lair (4 keys): This game includes 3 free spins, but these most certainly count! During this free spin bonus, normal wilds are replaced by Sticky Wilds that will remain in place for each subsequent spin. Additionally, the Dragon Destroy feature creates automatic wins by destroying a number of symbols if the first “spin” does not include a winning combination.

• The Lucky Mug (9 keys): This bonus includes 4 free spins. If no win occurs on any spin, the Irish Luck feature is activated. This adds one full line of 5 symbols and guarantees a medium-sized payday.

• The Golden Pot (16 keys): While this game only awards 2 free spins, the continuation play after any winning combination ensures that there will certainly be more spins. During this bonus, hearts and spades are converted into more valuable symbols with the Magic Transform feature. This guarantees big-time wins.

Random Main Game Upgrades

Before any spin in the main game, the leprechaun can appear and trigger any of the bonus game features for one spin – Falling Wilds, Dragon Destroy, Irish Luck, or Magic Transform.
