The Wombat says: Be transported to a far-off mythical land with the Twinkle slot by Eyecon. Twinkle is a fairy who looks suspiciously like Tinkerbell from Peter Pan, but anyway. Will there be lots of enchanting rewards on offer?
We are talking about those developers behind games like the Stampede slot and Fluffy Favourites slot, and with this being an Eyecon slot we’d be surprised if there wasn’t… Grab your magic wands Wombat Fans and let’s set sail to find out.
Look and Feel
The backdrop to this slot is on a pirate ship sailing the ocean that could well belong to a certain Captain Hook. Still, there’s no evidence of Hook or even Peter Pan for that matter – just Twinkle the cute fairy and your reels that float on the open seas in between some ship’s rigging.
The graphics are cartoon Disney-style and are pleasant enough. It’s not hitting the heights of the Napoleon slot on the design front, but then again, it’s not trying to.
Twinkle Slot Game Play
Twinkle slot has five reels, three rows and 25 pay-lines. That’s not as many as Eyecon’s other classic- the Heartburst slot which has 100, but then Twinkle is run off the more standard Eyecon engine. We’d put them both down as pretty high-variance games.
Bets start from a minimum of 0.25 per spin and go up to 12.50 per spin.
Your symbols on the reels all have a nautical theme and include a treasure map, a barrel of gunpowder, swords, a compass, a magnifying glass, a quill and ink, the ship’s wheel and a pouch full of fairy dust.
The eponymous fairy, Twinkle, has two roles to play on the reels as she will act as both the Wild and the Scatter symbol in this game. She’s busy!
As the Wild, Twinkle will do the usual job of substituting for all other symbols on the reels to give you extra winning combos.
Even better is when the Wild contributes to a winning combination – then she’ll double the payout for you. Such a nice fairy!
Just to complicate matters, this slot also offers up a second scatter symbol in the shape of the magical green glass jar – so keep your eyes peeled for it, as it’s the key to the Pick Bonus.
Free Spin and Bonus Features
Tinkle Free Spins
To set off the Free Spins you need to land three or more of the Twinkle scatters anywhere on the reels. Next, it’s up to 25 Free Spins for you depending on the number of scatters you landed to begin with; three, four or five Scatters will give you 15, 20 or 25 spins respectively.
As always with Eyecon slots, all payouts in the bonus round are tripled thanks to a 3x multiplier, and you can also retrigger the spins up to 15 times by landing more Scatters.
Prize Pick
This simple but potentially lucrative pick ’em game is triggered when three or more of the green jar scatter symbols land anywhere on the reels. During this prize pick, you’ll get three choices and each pick could potentially scoop you up to 100 times your original bet… Kerching!
Gamble Bonus
Try your hand at the gamble bonus to double your last win! Pick correctly from one of the two fairies that will appear in a new window and you’ll double your winnings. But if you get it wrong, you’ll lose everything.
FYI: You can play up to five rounds of the Gamble Bonus. This feature is not available in all countries such as the UK.
Conclusion
The Twinkle slot has a certain charm. OK, the game mechanics are the same as your standard Eyecon fare, but we like the Disney vibe and who doesn’t like fairies? Give it a go for the fun theme.
