The tropical forests and jungles of the world is where we’re heading with the Birds of Wonder online video slot game from High 5 Games. And you’ll get the opportunity to view all of the colourful and vibrant bird life while doing so, which is what this game is all about. As such, you’ll be able to see the various different colours of the tree and surrounding scenery in the background, which the reels are set against. It doesn’t really feature any sort of specialised soundtrack, and that’s possibly due to the fact that you can’t really create something that specifically merges well with a bird-themed product. However, the jingles that play while the reels are spinning are quite endearing and make game play a bit more exciting. You’ll also find that the game has had some of the most stunning and high quality graphics and animations incorporated into it, which give it a wonderful visual appeal on the whole. And when you tie in some nice special features alongside all of this, you’ll find that Birds of Wonder is a great game overall.

Independently Spinning Reels

It’s easy to see that the layout of this game looks very familiar for a regular online slot player. It appears to be a five reel and four row layout. However, when you press the spin button, you’ll find that each of the rows spin independently of each other. This doesn’t really affect the game on the whole, but it provides a unique animation in comparison to others. It’s the reels of this game where you’ll find its variety of icons, and these start with the frequently seen A, J, K and Q symbols. These are joined by the symbol of a purple feather and a yellow feather, while the remaining three are of tropical birds. These include a hummingbird, a toucan and a parrot, all of which are brightly coloured.

High 5 Games have also included a total of 30 different pay lines alongside the reels, rows and icons. You do have the chance to customise these to suit your own preferences, and this is done by pressing the arrows on the right hand side of the ‘Lines’ box. However, if you reduce the lines below 30, you will also disable the added feature of 1024 ways to win, which is a big boon. You’re also able to alter the wager you place per spin as well, which starts from a minimum of $0.01 per line, and increases up to $10 per line. This allows a maximum overall wager of $600 per spin when the 1024 feature is active.

Tweeting Good Specials

There’s a couple of different special features incorporated into this game which make it more appealing, and this begins with the flowers symbol, which represents the scatter. Two or more of these appearing in any position on the third column will also initiate the freespins round. Two will reward you with 10 freespins, three will provide you with 15 freespins, and four provide 20 freespins.

There’s also the addition of a wild icon, which is the game’s logo. As a wild symbol, this will substitute for all other icons, with the exception of the previously mentioned scatter. This can only show up on reels two, three, four and five.

Furthermore, there’s the inclusion of the previously noted 1024 ways to win. This is known as the ‘MultiWayXtra Bonus Bet Feature’, and this is activated, as mentioned, when all 30 lines are activated and the bonus bet is in play. This is how the maximum wager of $600 is reached.

View the Birds of the Jungle

The idea behind this game is definitely one that’s been done before, but this developer certainly takes the imagery and injects it thoroughly into the game. It’s filled with the best quality graphics, has a nice few specialities incorporated into game play, and not only that, but it has the added benefit of the 1024 ways to win, giving you even more chances to secure a winning combination across the reels.
