Finn and Swirly Spin Slot by NetEnt

Finn and Swirly Spin slot by NetEnt invites you to the magical world of rainbows, golden pots and free spins. Released in 2017, the famous software provider continues to surprise online gaming fans with another successful product incorporating quality graphics and innovative reel structure.

The video slot is named after an Irish Leprechaun, the main animated character, who forms the entire “Irish” theme of the game. In the background, you will see a beautiful green landscape with rainbows and clouds moving by as you immerse in your adventurous play.

The game starts with a short surprise intro with music and dancing, setting the right mood for playing. The leprechaun sits by the reels the entire time playing a tin whistle and cheering you whenever you hit a winning combo.

This 5×5 slot offers an RTP of 96.62% with various unexpected extra games and exciting features. Moreover, the non-traditional structure of the reels makes the game even more interesting for those searching for an entirely new gaming experience.

Is it fair?

Being one of the industry’s leading software developers NetEnt provides games with a state-of-the-art RNG (Random Number Generator). This way, players are guaranteed that the result of the game cannot be manipulated and is completely unpredictable, giving equal chances for winning to everyone.

To make sure that the fairness of the games remains intact, NetEnt’s RNG gets regularly tested by iTech Labs, an experienced and specialized test lab.

How to Win?

The fairy-tale interface and cheerful tin whistle music carry you to the world of leprechauns, full of magic and pleasant surprises.

But before heading to explore the enchanting world, make sure you select your bet level and coin values. Or you can click “Max Bet” and play with the highest bet available.

When everything is set hit the spin or select Autoplay to automatically activate the reels. Don’t forget to choose the number of turns or check out the advanced settings if you need more details for setting up the Autoplay feature.

When you press the spin, you will immediately notice that the figures don’t fall as in classic slots but swirl around the centre. When forming a winning combo, the figures explode and let the new ones come on the reel. The winning combo happens when 3+ identical figures show up next to each other either vertically or horizontally.

The info icon has every detail regarding each figure’s payout rates and special attributes.

Slot special features

In the enchanting forest accompanied by a lively leprechaun, you will surely come across many wonderful gems and treasures, such as the red ruby which gives the highest returns, followed by lower-paying figures, the golden hazelnut and horseshoe, as well as the four-leaf clover. There are also wooden playing card symbols offering the lowest returns.

You can’t help but notice the golden key figure locked in the ice that always starts from the same place and moves right to the centre whenever you land on a winning match. The key figure represents “The Free Spins Feature” and your goal is to move it right to the middle. As soon as it gets there it opens the doors to the magical place for free spin games.

During the game the key figure doesn’t disappear like the other regular ones, it may simply move backwards to its initial position if no successful combo is formed. Plus, these keys are collected and stored, as some free spins games require a corresponding number of keys to be unlocked. Of course, the first game (Star Bar) is unlocked with just 1 key.

The wild figure illustrated in the form of a little star may substitute all figures but the key. When a win combo is formed it may or may not include the star. When a star comes up in the combo, it explodes all other figures located horizontally and vertically next to it. If your winning cluster does not contain a star figure then only the regular figures disappear, and a new wild shows up in their place.

There are 4 “Random Features” that can appear at any time in the game after you first start playing.

What is the free spins feature?

When the key figure reaches the middle of the grid, the player may select one of the four games (The Star Bar, Lava Lair, Lucky Mug, Golden Pot) if the number of accumulated keys is sufficient to unlock them. The above-mentioned games have corresponding random features.

The Star Bar grants you with 7 spins and Starfall Wilds. You automatically unlock it as you already have collected the required 1 key.

If there are 4 keys collected, then you can play the Lava Lair, which will give you 3 spins and the Dragon Destroy feature. Here, you will come across the sticky wild figure that has the same role as the regular wild, except it doesn’t explode the other figures located next to it. In Lava Lair, it replaces the key figure.

The Lucky Mug requires 9 keys to be unlocked. Here, you will get 4 spins and the Irish Luck feature.

The last game, Golden Pot, will be unlocked if you have 16 keys. It will grant you 2 extra spins and the Magic Transform feature.

Summary

This is a beautifully designed slot with countless exciting features promising magical rewards. Though the slot’s main game is already quite engaging with the unique reel structure, 4 more bonus games may be unlocked, where you get additional opportunities to increase your winnings.

Being a low/mid volatility slot, it may grant you a maximum win of 50,000 in coins. If the Irish luck is on your side, huge rewards during the 4 additional games are in store for you.
