Finn’s Golden Tavern
Finn’s Golden Tavern
The wombat says: Did you know that wombats have a natural fear of leprechauns? Still, it’s worth conquering this particular phobia to enter the spiral sensation that is Finn’s Golden Tavern. Yes, this slot game is run by a jolly old leprechaun with a flute. And we like his style.
You might recognise the lucky little fella from Finn and the Swirly Spin slot, but here he comes in NetEnt’s pumped-up version of the old favourite. This time around he’s found a treasure map and now all he needs to do is find the booty (as in the gold Wombat fans – not the other kind)…
Look and Feel
It’s cosy in that there tavern (the last time I was in there I was there with that fella from the Stumpy McDoodles slot), and a very genial Finn welcomes you into the action clutching his full tankard with a friendly face. There’s also an air of pirate about the place, which boosts the plundering fun. Oooh arrr.
Like many games we are seeing right now (such as the Micro Knights slot from ELK), the symbols are cartoony but this wombat particularly liked the shining star, complete with eye-patch. We’re not even going to ask what happened to his other peeper… Still, he seems cheerful enough.
The Irish-tinged music is just right to set the scene – in the background, rather than in your face, but it does build to a good old singalong. And Finn’s good company to boot: he’s not afraid to shout out a “Shiver me timbers!” or a “Matey!” when he gets excited…
Game Play
Finn’s Golden Tavern has 5 reels and 5 rows and a spiral spin where you’ll need to match three or more groups of lucky symbols to win, either horizontally or vertically. Bets range from 10p/c to £/€/$ 500 per spin if you fancy your chances as a lucky li’l leprechaun. OK, hang onto your green hat as we are going to explain the inner workings of this game- there might just be more going on here than in the Reel Rush 2 slot if you can believe that.
Your symbols on the reels include; bottles of rum, bells, frothing tankards, a very suspicious strong brew and gold coins with the values of 5, 10, 20 and 50. The one to watch out for is the treasure chest, gleaming with the promise of a whole load of booty.
The pirate star is your Wild in Finn’s Golden Tavern slot but he will only land in the bonus feature.
You’ll also see that the game features avalanche reels. As always, this cool little mechanic explodes winning icons and replaces the symbols with new ones, giving you another chance to win.
Free Spins and Bonuses
Fist Slam
Like any good night out, there’s the option of a Fist Slam. This is a cool random feature activated by Finn himself. If you haven’t won anything on a spin, Finn gets angry and slams his fist down shifting your coins around to make another lucky winning combination. Cheers Finn!
Random Coin Feature
Keep your eyes peeled for this nice little extra. Land the treasure chest after any spin ends and the big standard symbols will transform into higher value coins. Ker-ching!
Free Spins
Now here’s where things get complicated… The aim of this game is to form enough winning combos and avalanches that the treasure chest ends up in the central position. And when it does, it’s 5 free spins for you Wombat fans!
During this round, every 5 wild icons that land will increase the multiplier by one level (and there’s 5 levels on offer).
Conclusion
This cheeky leprechaun has a winner of a slot on his hands. The spiral spins and Treasure Chest Bonus makes Finn’s Golden Tavern a great place to be on a cold and rainy night. To be sure!
