Birds on a Wire

Birds on a Wire slot machine

Birds on a Wire is a slot that is all about exactly what the name suggests: birds sitting on wires. From this simple premise, New Zealand developer Thunderkick has managed to piece together a truly charming slot. Graphics and animations are spot on, and get you in a good mood quickly after a tough day. The symbols consist of birds of all colors and shapes, and a cat that has slipped in among them.

On the technical side, Birds on a Wire is actually a modern video slot of standard cut. However, it doesn't look like that when you start playing, because Thunderkick has cleverly managed to put its very own stamp on the game mechanics. Basically, however, it is about 5 reels, 3 rows and 17 fixed paylines. The bet is between €0.10 and €100. Thanks to multipliers of up to 20 times the win, the sums can be quite hefty. The winning percentage in Birds on a Wire is 97.2%.

Symbols and functions

Dropping symbols

Symbols that are part of a winning combination disappear, and are replaced by new symbols. This continues as long as you win, so in theory there can be any number of wins on a single spin. In practice, there are usually no more than 2-3 re-spins, which is still really nice.

High Voltage Multipliers

Every time you win thanks to Dropping Symbols, the multiplier increases by one level. During regular game rounds, you can get up to 5x the win, while it can shoot away to a whopping 20x the win during free spin mode.

Bonus symbol / freespins

The cat hiding in a cardboard box is the key to the game's freespin mode. If you get 3 cats on the screen at the same time, you win 10 free spins. Each cat in addition to that gives an additional 2 spins, up to a maximum of 34 free rounds. When all free spins are over, you get an” Inwinity Spin " that guarantees profit.

Wild symbol

Finally, there is of course a wild, which substitutes for other symbols and complements your winnings. The Wild symbol is represented by a thick black bird.

Summary

Birds on a Wire takes a seemingly uninteresting theme and turns it into something quite special. Developer Thunderkick once again demonstrates both imagination and ability to make a technically really good slot machine. Since Birds on a Wire is packed with special features, we dare to promise that you will not get tired at first.
