RTP of this game is slightly higher than average, however it is not that much to make a huge difference. Another thing worth mentioning is its volatility. Fin and The Swirly Spin is a Medium-Low volatility game therefore is easy for most people. In fact, you do not need to wait a lot to get a decent payout, but you need to take into consideration the volatility when you are betting and your bankroll. The game is optimized for all popular platforms.
This game is quite innovative, in a sense that there is no familiar payline configuration. The reels form a square-shaped spiral. This slot is N-In-A-Row Wins, it means that you win only when matching symbols are collected in lines not less than 3. There are 25 positions in the spiral and in order to get a winning combination you need to catch at least three matching symbols horizontally or vertically anywhere on the reel. There is also the Avalanche feature, when you win you get a free re-spin, the winning symbols disappear and form a new combination, if you win again, you gain another free re-spin, which continues until you fail to make a new win.
Visually, this game is a kind of a psychedelic acid trip and will definitely make you smile. Almost hypnotic spiral reel is accompanied by a vibrant background of Irish forests. There is a funny-looking leprechaun named Finn playing his flute on the left side of the screen.
The game is filled with interesting functions, among which there are 4 different random ones in the main game. There are also 4 different bonus features which correspond with one of the random functions.
Here is the list of those random functions which you can get while playing the main game:
1. Starfall Wilds.Two or more Wilds are randomly added to the reels by the Starfall Wilds feature. The Wilds could show up in a line or at random. The placements of the Wilds in a random pattern are generated at random, however they are not positioned over the Free Spins Key symbol. If a win doesn't occur after the Wilds are introduced, more Wilds will be added at random spots until one does. Each of the ten vertical or horizontal lines is picked at random if the Wilds are arranged in a line. The placements of the Wilds on the selected line should be evenly chosen from all combinations in which all of the Wilds are adjacent. Not bad, huh?
2. Dragon Destroy. There must be no wins prior to the activation of the Dragon Destroy feature in order to use it. A random amount of symbols will be destroyed by the dragon feature, which will then start another avalanche. This happens in such a way that following the avalanche, a victory is assured.
3. Irish Luck. After the initial spin, the Irish Luck feature can only be triggered when there isn't a win visible on the reels. The addition of a horizontal or vertical line of one type of symbol, excluding a Wild symbol, to the reels results in a win that is guaranteed.. The direction of the additional line—vertical or horizontal—is chosen at random.
4. Magic Transform. All of the spade and heart symbols will be transformed into another, more valuable symbols using the Magic Transform function. The symbol that the spade and heart symbols are transformed into may differ. Each spade and heart symbol has four alternative outcomes, resulting in a total of 16 possible transformations. Every spade symbol will change into the associated symbol.
There are also 4 different Free Spins games.
This is how it functions. If the Free Spins Key symbol is in the center position after all wins or avalanches have occurred, then a Free Spins game is given. There is just one Random Feature that may be selected during the first round of Free Spins. You need to gather various numbers of keys in order to open up new Free Spins options. Each time you obtain a bonus spin, you gain an extra key. The player will be taken back to the main game after finishing the first round of Free Spins.
The Star Bar is the title of the first Free Spins game. 7 Star Bar Free Spins with the Starfall Wilds Random Feature are given if Star Bar Spins are activated. To unlock this game, you need just one key. Similar to the Starfall Wilds Random Feature in the main game, the Star Bar Free Spins function similarly.
Lava Lair is the name of the second bonus game. If the Lava Lair Free Spins feature is triggered, the Dragon Destroy Random Feature awards 3 Lava Lair Free Spins. To access Lava Lair Free Spins, you need 4 keys. A Sticky Wild will always appear in place of the Free Spins Key symbol during this feature.
The third is known as Lucky Mug. The Irish Luck Random Feature awards 4 Lucky Mug Free Spins if the Lucky Mug Free Spins feature is triggered. To unlock it this time, you will need nine keys. Similar to the Irish Luck Random Feature in the main game, the Lucky Mugs Free Spins feature works similarly. If there is no winning combination, the symbols change as follows: Six different symbol alternatives are arranged in order of how frequently they appear in the play area. Every spin will result in a winning combination thanks to the overlay's randomly selected symbol.
Golden Pot is the game's main boss and comes last. When the Golden Pot Free Spins feature is triggered, the Magic Transform Random Feature awards 2 Golden Pot Free Spins. This bonus round needs 16 keys to unlock, so getting it won't be simple. The Magic Transform feature in the main game has the same functionality as the Golden Pot Free Spins. Consider yourself really lucky and get ready for a substantial payout if you receive this bonus.
