Wishbone Games, an exclusive studio under Games Global, has released its latest title, Kingfisher™, which offers players a tranquil and feature-filled gaming experience.
Natural setting
Kingfisher™ takes place in a wildlife setting, where players embark on an adventure with the titular Kingfisher on a 5×4 grid adorned with fish, dragonflies, and frogs. The game incorporates a unique twist, as players aim to hatch five eggs located above the matrix to unlock different adventures and features.
Hatching eggs
When a Kingfisher symbol lands on a reel, it pecks the corresponding egg above that reel, potentially cracking it open. If the egg cracks open, the player is rewarded with 10 free spins and the specific feature associated with that colored egg.
Hatching the red egg on the first reel activates the increasing multiplier feature, starting at 1x and increasing by one with each special symbol that appears during the round, up to a maximum of 5x. The green egg on the second reel adds values to the fish symbols, starting at 0 and increasing by 1x the stake for each special symbol that appears during the feature, up to 5x.
Hatching the blue egg on the fourth reel upgrades the lowest paying symbol, adding monetary value to the player’s winnings whenever an up-arrow symbol lands during the round. The purple egg on the fifth reel initiates the respin feature, providing players with additional opportunities to spin and win big whenever a heart symbol appears on the reels.
Golden Egg
The golden egg on the third reel triggers a two-phase bonus, combining all the features associated with the colored eggs activated during the round, potentially granting players a massive win of up to 5,300x their bet.
Wishbone Games is a Cardiff-based studio that was established in 2022. Their slot titles are part of the huge network of online slots available through Games Global.
Henna Vilmi, Commercial Director of Wishbone Games, said:
We had a blast producing Kingfisher™! The whole studio was involved in brainstorming the features and it truly has been developed for players by players.
Kingfisher himself acts as the feature-triggering symbol and our favourite part of the game is the Golden Egg super mode. Here you will get a head start in the enhancement collection with a random starting value from each egg before the free spins start. This egg is quite hard to crack but it brings another level to the game for the more experienced players.”
Andy Booth, Chief Product Officer at Games Global, said:
We are excited to introduce Kingfisher™ to our platform and showcase our continued dedication to immersing players in high quality gaming experiences.
The game boasts simple mechanics that are feature-filled for plenty of opportunity for players new and old to win big through its multipliers, free spins and symbol upgrades, ensuring thrilling gameplay for all. Our exclusive data is showing the game is hitting all the right levels for a top tier release”.
Gamingslots review
Summary
Kingfisher slot has 20 lines over 5 reels of 4 rows with stacked symbols including Wilds and low symbol pays. The game look is basic even thought he background artwork is nice to behold, the music is rather out of kilter with the gentle look too. Your 5-of-a-kinds are best for the Wild at 10x down to 1x bet for the lowest royal. Above the reels are coloured eggs with a gold one over the middle reel. The kingfisher scatter will peck at these and when one or more breaks, you get 10 free games where there will now be a Big Bass slot type of feature. Fish will appear with cash overlays, each time a kingfisher lands it will collect them. The modifiers you have in play will have a special symbol, when landing in the bonus it will add its enhancement. This can be multipliers for fish, adder which adds cash to each value up to 5x bet, symbol upgrade which starts with the 10 and will make that a cash value too and finally on reel 5 a heart feature which collects them and for each one adds a hold-and-respin chance to your next win. The golden egg over reel 3 will award the bonus with all four modifiers active simultaneously and this could well lead to a cracking win being laid in your hands.
