Fortune Falcon Wild Respins Slot
Famous for their tapered wings and tails, exceptional powers of vision and the lightning-fast speeds they fly at, there are around forty different species of falcons in existence, however, none of them possess the special power that the Fortune Falcon boasts – the ability to make your balance soar to new heights!
You’ll be hoping to witness an abundance of them flying overhead as you trek across the hot desert, which is presumably based on the Arabian Desert, one of the largest in the world at 900,000 square miles, as they represent one of the two Wild symbols that have been included in Fortune Falcon Wild Respins by Ainsworth. The other is one of their golden eggs and you’ll be hoping to collect a trio of them in the nests above the reels to experience the Wild Respins feature that the title alludes to.
A Land-Based Classic
The Fortune Falcon Wild Respins video slot might be new at online casinos that offer software by Ainsworth, but gamblers who have frequented land-based casinos will likely have encountered it before as it’s one of their all-time classics.
Those of you who have played the land-based version will be pleased to learn that Ainsworth have kept the original structure intact for this online version as it also boasts 5 reels and sees you try to match symbols across 30 fixed paylines. Speaking of symbols, there haven’t been any changes made to the pay table either with playing card symbols, treasure chests, exotic islands, camels, horses and leopards joining the Scattered palace, which is key to triggering free spins, and the two types of Wild symbols that have been included.
Ainsworth have reported the return-to-player percentage stands at 94.02% and that it’s a medium volatility slot, with the cost of exploring the desert in search of treasure beginning at a low limit of 0.30 credits and soaring to sky-high levels of 3,000 credits for high rollers.
Hunting for Desert Treasure
You’ll be in for quite a workout hunting for treasure in this desert as it’s rather hilly and the heat is fierce, but you won’t mind the sweat whenever you land winning combinations. Fingers crossed the Fortune Falcon, who is resting on a tree branch to the left of the reels and flapping its wings to showcase a very impressive wingspan, ensures they are plentiful.
As usual with online slot machines that have been developed by Ainsworth, it’s a selection of playing card symbols that fill a large chunk of the pay table. Each of these appears in a different colour with a gold trim and you’ll be pleased to hear that their creative team have put a lot more effort into designing the rest of the symbols.
These include large red treasure chests that are filled to the brim with expensive jewels, an exotic island that awaits you at the end of the desert, there are plenty of camels and horses to hitch a ride on when you get tired walking, plus there are big rewards on offer for spotting leaps of leopards – just don’t get too close or they’ll hunt you down for dinner instead!
The final three symbols to watch out for during the base game are special with the falcon, which appears on the third, fourth and fifth reels, and golden egg, which only appears on the fourth reel, representing the two Wild symbols and both can substitute for all symbols aside from each other and the Scatter symbol, represented by the stunning view of a luxurious palace.
Enter the Palace for Free Games
You’ll feel a great sense of relief whenever you clasp eyes on the palace across the second, third and fourth reels at the same time as it means you can escape the heat to enjoy a bout of free games.
The triggering combination sees you secure a Scatter win worth 2x your stake as you are granted 10 initial free games, with five additional free games added every time a trio of Scatters, which can now land on all reels, appear, plus an additional symbol comes into play to boost your winnings.
That symbol is a gold coin and it will multiply your winnings by either 1x or 2x whenever it appears on the second reel, while it’s appearance on the fourth reel sees wins multiplied by either 1x or 5x.
Collect Golden Eggs for Wild Respins
Cross your fingers that the Fortune Falcons lays lots of golden eggs on the fourth reel of this free Fortune Falcon Wild Respins slot machine as each one that lands will be moved into a nest positioned above the third, fourth and fifth reels, with the Wild Respins feature triggering once all three have been filled. Be careful not to alter your bet size after collecting a couple of them as this sees the nests empty and you must start from scratch. This feat sees the third, fourth and fifth reels covered with the golden egg symbol as three respins occur and you pray for golden wins.
Wild Respins are one of my favourite bonus features and, if you enjoy them too, you should check out Merlin’s Magic Respins by NextGen Gaming as King Arthur’s magical companion appears as a Stacked Wild symbol on the second, third and fourth reels with one to five respins guaranteed depending on which Superbet level has been activated.
Will Your Balance Soar?
The visuals might not be as slick as the most recent online slots and the sounds will likely lead to you hitting the mute button as they’ll grate on your nerves, but the winning potential of Fortune Falcon Wild Respins cannot be denied – especially if you’re lucky enough to fill all three nests with those beautiful golden eggs as it so often results in your balance soaring to new levels!
