Finn and the Swirly Spin Slot Review

Finn and the Swirly Spin slot machine from NetEnt is brand new. In fact, at the time of writing it has just been launched. It has already started to cause waves in the industry too due to not only how fun it is, but how great it looks too. Probably one of the most ‘fun’ games I have had to review in a while!

How to Play Finn and the Swirly Spin Slot

Finn and the Swirly Spin slot machine was released in November 2017. It is a 5 reel, 5 line slot machine. The minimum bet per spin is 10p. The maximum is £100 (at the time of writing this review). The house edge is 3.39%. It is a medium volatility slot.

One of the reasons as to why this slot is so interesting to me is the fact that it looks so different. NetEnt, recently, have been going down the route of branded slots rather than coming up with the own intellectual properties.

There is nothing wrong with this. It just gets a bit ‘old hat’ eventually. This game is nice. NetEnt have always made some good slots and their creative team always work wonders. There is so much colour packed into this game that you can’t help but have a smile on your face.

While there are several features packed into this slot, all of them should be simple to understand. Both beginners and experienced players will be able to get something out of this slot.

Bonus Rounds & In Game Features

This is another NetEnt slot which offers avalanche wins. If you hit a winning combination, then the symbols disappear and new ones fall into place. This means you can, potentially, win several times on a sngle spin.

There are four random features in Finn and the Swirly Slot. All of them can be triggered on any spin. They seem to occur an average amount. You won’t get them on every spin, but they pop up enough that you will not forget about them:

• Starfall Wilds: minimum of 2 wilds are added to the reels. Wilds will keep being added until you get a win.
• Dragon destroy: random number of symbols are destroyed on the reels.
• Irish luck: guaranteed win.
• Magic Transform: all low paying symbols are transformed into high paying symbols.
• There are also four free spins features. You need to collect keys to trigger them:
• The Star Bar: 7 free spins, Starfall wilds on every spin. Trigger with 1 key.
• Lava Lair: 4 keys trigger this. 3 free spins with dragon destroy.
• Lucky mug: 9 keys or this one. 4 free spins with the Irish Luck Feature (awesome wins here!)
• Golden Pot: 16 keys, 2 free spins with a magic transform feature in place on every spin.

Finn and the Swirly Spin Mobile Slot

As with every slot that NetEnt has released over the years, the mobile version of this slot is absolutely fantastic. We are talking bright colours. Smooth gameplay.

I have only had my hands on the Finn and the Swirly Spin mobile slot for a couple of days, but already I can tell you that it is one of the greatest mobile slots I have ever played. I am almost certainly going to be playing this one for many years to come.

Summary – What Do We Think?

If you love fun slots then this is the ticket. If you love slots that look good, then this is great too. In fact, if you love slots in general (particularly those which come with oodles of free spins), then Finn and the Swirly Spin is going to be absolutely perfect for you. It is amazingly fun and everybody is going to be able to get something out of it. As I mentioned, this slot is new, but I can already tell that I am going to be returning to it a lot. 

If you want to check out Finn and the Swirly Spin, it should be available on all sites which offer NetEnt slots. I can’t imagine that there are many companies out there who won’t be sticking this one up.
