Birds on a Wire

Theme

Birds on a Wire is themed on the story of birds sitting on a wire and a predator in disguise sitting among them, waiting for the right moment to make a meal of at least one of them. The game has all the fun elements in place from the visuals and aesthetic perspective: it basically looks and feels different from the rest, even when it comes down to something as basic as how the symbols appear on the reels.

In keeping with the theme mentioned in the title, the birds sit on 3 electric wires/cables one below the other in three perfectly formed rows. The reels do not spin from top to bottom. They slide sideways from right to left, i.e. the round you just finished playing vanishes to your left as a fresh round appears on the right. The birds also do not hop on to the reels; they fly down from the top left to occupy their positions. And when the birds form a win line, the response is different yet again: a bolt of electricity hits them and they get fried! All these cool features and a cool free spin bonus make this slot a very attractive option for you to try out.

Configuration

Birds on a Wire is a very different kind of slot to the ones you normally encounter at online casinos. This game looks different and also plays different in terms of the way the spins happen, the way the symbols appear, and so on. To start with, this is a 15-reel slot with 17 paylines from Thunderkick. The game is a lot of fun to play because of its looks and also its features: there are quite a few features built-in to the game to help players score more and bigger wins. Wins pay both ways, which is again very different from a lot of other slots. But first, let us start with how the game looks.

Birds on a Wire looks awesome because of the high quality of graphics and animations, both of which contribute to a superb interface. More than that, what will surprise and impress you is the way the symbols appear on the screen: they do not spin; instead they drop on to the screen. When you score a win, the symbols that are part of the win look like they have been hit by a big bolt of electricity and get fried to finally vanish, their places taken by a fresh set of symbols that drop down. The new symbols can also potentially form winning combinations to increase your win.

The game also has some cool features to make your play experience fun and rewarding. Each spin comes with multipliers; when you hit a winning combination the multipliers come into play. The multipliers are different for the base game and the bonus game. The base game multiplier gives you 1x, 2x, 3x, or 5x the total bet, depending on what combination you land. The bonus game multiplier is higher, and gives you 4x, 8x, 12x, or 20x your total bet. Other cool features include Auto Play, which allows you to play between 5 and 5000 spins in automatic mode.

Bonus Rounds
