Finns Golden Tavern

The colourful Finn and the Swirly Spin warmed our hearts when it first came out in 2017. It offered a brand new spiral spin mechanic, alongside a whole heap of fun bonuses! And today, we have the pleasure of checking out its sequel. Today, we join NetEnt as we explore one of Finn’s favourite pastime activities: getting drunk and shouting at the player!

Finn’s Golden Tavern is played on a 5×5 board which uses the spiral spin mechanic. In terms of special features, it offers Fist Slam, the Random Coin bonus and free spins with a progressive multiplier. It takes a more conservative approach with special features compared to its predecessor. Quality over quantity!

While not as colourful as the original, this slot still has excellent graphics. The background image this time around is a zoomed in table. You can make out all sorts of details here. A still burning candle, some dice and a knife stabbed in the table are on the right side of the reels. On the left is a compass, some ale, a picture and the slot logo.

The game is played on a 5×5 board. However, there are no set paylines. Instead, a win is awarded if you get three or more identical symbols in a row, either vertically or horizontally.Icons do not fall down in a regular fashion, either. Instead, they follow the spiral trail you see drawn on the board in front of you.

Players can stake between $0.10 and $500 on each spin. This is an excellent betting spread, which will appeal to casual gamblers and high rollers alike. To change your total bet, simply tweak the coin value up and down until you reach an amount you’re satisfied with.

NetEnt’s release has medium to high volatility and an RTP of 96.1%. This is slightly above the current industry average.We’d personally say the variance leans closer to medium than high. The maximum jackpot reflects this as well, sitting at 1,000x your total stake.

Of course, Finn’s Golden Tavern being booze themed (with slight hints at piracy), all the symbols are either drinks or gold coins. Wilds are a golden star with an eyepatch, while Scatters are a cyan chest with a purple gem in it.

On a non-winning spin, there’s a chance the Fist Slam special feature will activate. In this bonus, Finn will slam the table, making one coin icon swap places with a low-value symbol. This swap will guarantee a win with the swapped coin.

With each spin, an avalanche occurs, creating space for new icons to fall down and take the place of removed winning symbols. This means players can chain several wins together.

At random times, one or two low win symbols will be transformed into coins. There is no guarantee these transformed icons will award a cash prize.
And if you succeed in pushing Scatter to the middle of the board, you get five free spins. During extra turns, a multiplier meter is active which increases the value of each payout. The multiplier starts at once, and increases for every generated Wild.
