How To Play Birds on a Wire Mobile Slot
These colourful birds might look cute, but we all know the truth; each and everyone of them must die!
Gamblers might be attracted to the Birds on a Wire mobile slot by the bright colourful graphics, pretty distinctive birds, and unusual reel set up.
But if you lack a sense of humour, you might want to try something a little less violent. Magicious by Thunderkick is very good, and has a more traditional theme.
For the rest of us, prepare for some electrified bird stew.
Exploding cascading reels with multipliers
The theme of the Birds on a Wire game on mobile is pretty simple. You get 3 rows of 5 birds, sitting on electric cable wires, minding their own business. Because, we guess, when you are in the middle of a mass migration, you don’t look too closely at danger signs.
If you get 3 or more of the same birds on one of the 17 paylines, the birds are literally electrocuted, and disappear into a puff of feathers.
The sick, sadistic, child inside of us laughs every time. Especially when, on each successive win, the multiplier increases, from 1x to 5x. During the free spins this multiplier increases to a massive 20x.
Basically, it’s pure value for money, with little mini-goes on every win.
Fans of online mobile slots will no doubt recognise this feature from The Gonzo’s Quest or Pixies of the Forest slots.
The strange gameplay of the Birds on a Wire slot game
You’ll be forgiven, given the humour and pretty graphics, to think this is a low paying game. After all, it hits frequently, the free spins come at least once every 100 spins, and the RTP sits at an incredibly high and generous 97.2%.
And, of course, you’d be wrong.
There’s some blazing wins to be found here, and the fact that the Birds on a Wire slot machine lets you play for longer is a huge positive in our books.
It plays like a low variance game, but pays like a high variance one. You will still have to be careful with your budget, but we’ve hit wins of over 100 times our bet in the free spins often enough to know it’s very much worth your while.
One of our favourite Thunderkick slots; and not just because we love watching cute birds die in shocking ways.
