Happy Birds Slot
We’ve all heard of Angry Birds and Flappy Bird and here is another game with a somewhat similar name – Happy Birds! This slot features a number of different birds, including a toucan, a parrot and a chick which are joined by some very bold, colourful playing card symbols. When playing this slot you’ll find there are 243 ways to win, meaning that the symbols can land anywhere on the first 3, 4 or 5 reels and guarantee you a win. You’ll also find a bonus game and a free spins round at this game.
The slot has a very modern cartoon style – think more Pixar than Hanna Barbera, giving the game a real 3D feel. The backdrop to the game is a neighbourhood scene with picket fences all around. The reels have a blue shaded background which the symbols sit upon and the bird symbols have some animation when forming part of a win line. Between spins you’ll hear the sound of the neighbourhood, with birds tweeting occasionally and the sound of traffic, the spins themselves being joined by an uplifting tune as well as the clicking and the whirring of the reels.
Setup and Play for Happy Birds Slot
This slot has five reels where you’ll find the 243 ways to win. To play these lines will cost you 25 credits and you’ll choose both the coin amount and the bet amount (between 1 and 5). To choose the coin amount you’ll click on the box in the bottom right hand corner of the slot, with options of between 1 and 10 cents. You’ll then click on one of the five boxes to choose your bet size.
The highest paying symbol at the game is the parrot which pays out 400 credits for five in a row. The parrot symbol is by far the best symbol in the game and pays out four times the amount of any other, with the toucan coming next at 100 coins and the chick at 70 coins. The playing card symbols pay out between 30 and 15 coins for landing 5 in a row.
There is an auto spin option. Unlike many online slots, you’ll not actually specify an amount of spins, as this slot will continue until you either land one of the features or if you tell it to stop. The other reason it might stop is if you run out of money of course!
The wild symbol is the bird in flight with multi-coloured wings and replaces any other symbol in the game apart from the bonus and the magic hoop symbol.
The bonus symbol at the slot is one featuring all three birds found on the reels with the word ‘bonus’ below. You’ll need to land this symbol three times or more across the reels to activate the feature. You’ll be taken to another screen at this stage where you’ll be met by a series of different coloured hot air balloons each with a target underneath. This round has an element of skill as you need to hit the targets and every time you shoot down a balloon you’ll be awarded either a cash amount or a multiplier.
You’ll also find a hoop symbol when playing Happy Birds. If this should land on both of the 2nd and 4th reels the free spins round will be activated. At this point you’ll not know exactly how many free spins you’ll have, these being randomly awarded by birds flying through the hoops. Each time one flies through the hoop a random amount will be added to the total and this can lead to a good number of free spins. As well as the large number of free spins you’ll also find that additional wilds will be added to the reels – making this free spins round particularly profitable.
Happy Birds Slot Conclusion
The mix of the bold colours and the high quality graphics will certainly make a good impression when you start playing this slot by iSoftbet. You are immediately drawn in but it’s a fact that graphics alone won’t make for a decent slot. Fortunately, the range of features at this game is more than enough to make the slot highly playable too. This slot will appeal to a wide range of casino enthusiasts, but especially those players who enjoy regular smaller wins, as opposed to a big Jackpot amount – this being due to the massive 243 ways to win you’ll have when playing.
