Finn and The Swirly Spin Online Slot

Added: January 3, 2018

NetEnt powers some of the best online casinos such as Kroon Casino and Oranje Casino. Over the years it has introduced innovative features in slot machines. Cluster Pays awards wins for groups of symbols rather than the usual paylines. The online slots with this feature are very popular. The latest NetEnt innovation is called Swirly Spin and the first slot game with this feature is Finn and the Swirly Spin.

As in Cluster Pays slots, the Swirly Spin feature is played in a 5x5 grid. Finn is an Irishman and the high symbols are typical Irish icons. These include diamond, horseshoe, acorn and clover. The low symbols are the playing card suits. The star is the wild symbol. The key is a special symbol that starts in the bottom left cell at the beginning of every spin. Payouts are awarded for three or more like symbols appearing consecutively in any row or in any column. The winning symbols disappear and new ones take their place. If new winning combinations are formed payouts are awarded again and the process repeats. This concept is called an avalanche and is found in many other NetEnt slots.

The Swirly Spin is a unique movement of symbols. When an avalanche creates gaps in the spiral, the remaining symbols close in towards the centre. Once the gaps are closed new symbols appear on the tail of the spiral. The key also moves towards the centre along the spiral. If the key reaches the central position in one spin as a result of the avalanches the free spins feature will trigger.

This feature in Finn and the Swirly Spin transports players on an exciting journey through the Emerald Isle. This journey takes you through four virtual worlds named Lucky Mug, Lava Lair, Star Bar and Golden Pot. You have to collect the key for a level in order to visit. A light-up key meter on the screen will help you track your progress by indicating the number of keys won till then. NetEnt has introduced a host of randomly triggered features to make the game play more exciting and rewarding. Starfall Wilds introduces two or more wild symbols in random positions on the reels. The Dragon Destroy feature can create an avalanche by destroying symbols when there are no wins. Irish Luck adds a horizontal or vertical line of the same symbol when there is no win. Magic Transform changes all the spade and heart symbols to higher paying ones.
