Finn And The Swirly Spin Slot

Graphics

NetEnt loves an intro, and the start of this online slot is nothing short of a visual treat. Finn leads us into a traditional Irish step dance before transporting us to a magical catwalk with the click of his fingers.

There, he moonwalks and shows off slick moves that would have any Friday night Dubliner proud. He returns during the base game by the side of the reels, treating us to a playful flute ditty as we hunt matching symbols across the stone swirl at the centre of this saga.

We are looking for three or more of Rubies, Acorns, Horseshoes, Shamrocks, Hearts or Spades. Triggering any of the random bonuses - Starfall Wilds, Dragon Destroy, Irish Luck and Magic Transform - delivers its own graphical treat, while netEnt brings all its creative flair to bear when we trigger the Free Spins feature.

Gameplay

It is true that the Finn And The Swirly Spin slot boasts gameplay like no other. Landing three or more symbol-combos causes those symbols to disappear, leaving a Star Wild in their wake and causing all other symbols to shuffle along the swirl.

More winning combos cause more shuffles, with our ultimate aim being to get a glowing magical key to the centre of the stone swirl and the keyhole it hides. Doing so triggers the Free Spins feature. Finn unlocks the stone swirl and takes us flying to a magical world where either:

● Star Bar Spins (7 free spins with Starfall Wilds)
● Lava Lair Spins (3 free spins with Dragon Destroy)
● Lucky Mug (4 free spins with Irish Luck)
● Golden Pot (2 free spins with Magic Transform)

If only we could choose. We have to unlock each of these free spins variants, giving us plenty of cause to keep this stone swirl spinning to this cheeky leprechaun’s tune.

Verdict

There are plenty of Irish-themed slots available online, it’s true. But none are as creative as NetEnt’s Finn And The Swirly Spin.

The interesting game mechanic is enticing enough, but throw in the random bonuses, the unlockable Free Spins levels and the potential for bumper payouts and we might just have found our Irish gold at the end of the rainbow.
