New Slot Announcement Finn and the Swirly Spin - Netent

[Harry_BKK]

Get ready for a truly new pay mechanic from Netent. A swirl instead of reels and rows. Release date: 23rd November 2017

Abundance of features which need to be unlocked a la IR or TSII. Haven't got through them yet though.

The aim is to get the key into middle position by winning combinations that explode after being paid and create wild symbols along the way. Once the key is in the middle, the game opens the bonus features. The more keys are collected the more bonus features become available.

 

[dunover]

Yes, I saw this and then my jaw dropped at how long it would take to make a video so I pretended I knew nothing about it! Quite good aside from the usual ELC graphics.

 

[Jasminebed]

All I could think of with the name of the slot was poor Finn being tortured by bullies dunking his head in the toilet and flushing.

 

[slot_zombie]

Looks awful.

 

[jetset]

The theme appears to me to be Irish.

 

[Harry_BKK]

The theme appears to me to be Irish.

Yes it is Irish themed, including the sound track.

 

[DreamRJ]

Looks interesting. Anywhere I can play it for free to try it out?

Google search didn't come up with anything.

 

[goatwack]

It's Netent, people. Just don't be surprised if it turns out to be "Fin. And the Lack Of Wins"

You have been warned....

Sorry, not yet. The slot is only available in the Netent client area for now.

ok thanks for info. And how does one go about getting access to the net ent client area?

 

[Harry_BKK]

Don't know TBH, as it was given to me by the site I am writing reviews for.

[Jono777]

Become a NetEnt client?

Aren't we all Netent clients?

Well those of us who can't leave DoA alone anyway

 

[Cyclops]

Looks interesting

Wouldn't mind trying this on free play see how involved it is

Finn and the Swirly Spin video

 

[goatwack]

Ok, now we've seen it in fun mode we know it'll be nothing like that with real money

 

[KasinoKing]

Looks like a really fun slot, with "Play'N'Go style" features...

But I can't help fearing that as it's NetEnt it will be an entertaining CRAP balance destroyer like those Fairy Tale Legend pieces of shite...

When does this latest NotEnt game go live - anyone know?

Had a quid odd left in my Leo Vegas account so decided to waste it on this earlier this morning.

Got it up to £14 on 10p spins and then had to go out.

I like it, its different and nice little random features especially the gold pot feature.

Its not going to make anyone rich but could be good for a bit of playtime.

 

[dunover]

I had to do it eventually:

Wake me up....

 

[geordiecolin]

With my limited game play on this slot I get the impression that you would have to invest a fair bit of time and money before it realises its full paying potential. The base game just doesn't justify spending so much time and effort to find out.

 

[Yellowsamuel]

I like the look of this one, as you say it is hard to see what the potential is.
I have a feeling a lot of the RTP might be locked into those later levels, can I be arsed to unlock them is the question

 

[goatwack]

I had some free spins on it a couple of weeks ago whereby I had a couple of 10x base-game wins and thought, after approximately ten fairly fruitful spins that this game might be a good little number.

I realized I'd been duped about £18 into my £25 deposit. When the game had tired of trolling me, I finally triggered the first bonus.

Fireworks ensued as I nearly fell asleep during those six spins, a minutely- improved rendition of the dead main game.

Apart from the nice-ish CBBC- themed visuals there's not much substance to it.

Just another Netent Mafioso game where you can never get ahead, end up indebted to the game, don't get anything out of it & wait for your inevitable demise. You must be delirious if you Finnk I'm touching this filth again

I got 50 free spins on this slot for depositing at BGO and I won a handsome 45p from them. I get the impression that its pretty high variance

 

[Nate]

Tried it out in fun mode. 1 euro bet size. Took 300 off the balance before it gave a few hits here and there to bring me back to the original balance.

Then it rinsed and repeated the nose dive and I promptly left. Typical Netbent....

It felt so different from the usual drivel from Netent which was quite refreshing but the Netbent variance quickly reminded me why I don't play their slots anymore....

[brianmon]

I've only played it with free spins from LeoVegas's offers.

But I'd NEVER EVER play it with my own cash.

It must have the lowest hit rate of any NetEnt game - 8 out of 10 dead spins

 

[Mouche12]

I too had 50 fs (for Thanksgiving @Guts), paid only $2.75. Not my cup of tea this slot, although I must admit the graphics are not bad.

They where for thanksgiving? I presumed they where for my deposit last night. I don't think much for their rewards. I got the impression that the free spins for level up where set at 10% RTP

No I had another 20 fs for my deposit yesterday - these paid $0.24

Yep, this slot is a vicious money-eater.

 

[cncas2123]

Definitely the worst slot ive ever played, 50 free spins and a grand total of .27p, what a pile of crap.

 

[geordiecolin]

Yep, this slot is a vicious money-eater.

I've just deposited £50 to get 100 free spins on Finn and I feel humbled to have won £10.15 from those £20 worth of spins. But I am assuming that the further you progress in opening the bonus rounds the better the potential is of getting those big wins? The expected rtp is 96.5 or so

 

[goatwack]

That's the thing though: with these developers' new releases we're seeing high variance gameplay with low to medium payouts.

I'd love to know how on earth anyone can get a decent hit on this, certainly not in the basegame, nor in the first unlocked bonus with the useless extra stars. Add 'Netent Variance' into the mix and it's a recipe for disaster....

Even worse is how it doesn't even give you longevity- I lost £18 on minimum bets in about fifteen minutes to win a paltry £6.

So even though it looks hv, factor in the multitude of dead spins too. And if you ever gets that big hit after ploughing hours into it, you can rest assured that you may just about break even (at best).

A terrible, terrible slot that is about as player-unfriendly as it gets. But to quote Netent's motto: "Better Gaining"

I deffo think that it is a slot that requires a lot of loyalty before your likely to hit anything really big. I will avoid it until I see what all of those other unlocked bonuses are about and if they perform kindly.
Until then Finn can feck off

Edit. For me Netent started with this assumed high variance appearance without giving high variance hits when they introduced Motorhead

I got 100x bet and 85x bet on the first time playing it. I've nearly unlocked next level on Leovegas, it's not a bad game just start low and raise on the back of big wins. Standard procedure

 

[Jono777]

...and how many offers have come thru today for deposit based free (sorry extra) spins on this Game eh?

Virtually zero risk to the casinos whatsoever, customer loyalty recognition at its finest once again

I mean 1p and 2p wins WTF!

Bed Time!

I agree absolutely none. The only one was Royal Panda which I wasn't eligible for...What happened to Casumo giving free spins on a new game? they never ever do now. Greedy casinos mate!

Spinson are doing 500 'extra spins' for £150

best offer I had, which I took, was for 120 x £1 spins for £100 at LeoVegas on Wednesday, and managed to get £122 from them.

Still never managed to beat the wagering. So It's like you say, it cost them nothing, even to give such a decent deal

I've not dismissed the game yet. I will wait to see how things are when I can see what the other levels are and if if they can bring home the bacon

I think you may find it is casino's

 

[richmcd]

I like that NetEnt tried something new, but this one's been a dud for me. I think the spin mechanism is just slightly too complicated. Something like Moon Princess or the other Play'N'Go "Match 3" slots it doesn't take too long to get a feel for how the symbols are going to resolve. You can get excited because of where the wilds are going to drop, or when you get reliably good patterns like the replicating side by side wilds (as long as the symbols on either side don't match). With Finn, I find it's far too hard to work out where the symbols are going to land, and that's before you factor in the exploding wilds. So instead of getting excited, I just think, "Huh." And it's disappointing that the free spins rounds are all just the same as the random bonuses. Some variety there might have helped.

I've got to say, though, I'm surprised at the reports of extremely low pays. I've found it pretty generous. I've not played more than a few hundred spins and I've had 5OAK diamonds at least five times, often just given out as part of the beer mug bonus. It felt like a pretty solid medium variance slot to me, just hampered by a sadly rather dull mechanic.

 

[TheAddict]

Strong contender for the Worst thing designed this year imo

 

[illu88]

While i m playing that slot get this error after 40+ Spins short before i finally get the bonus ....tha suxx pretty much

 

[AnnaTS]

They have added this slot at Sky Vegas a long with DOA and Jungle Spirit.

I have decided to unlock all the features just for fun but i am only playing on minimum bet of 10p a spin, I have 4 keys so far and best feature win was 40 x.

 

[AnnaTS]

I finally managed to get a win over 100 x and just need 6 more keys to unlock the last feature.

I got the win from the third bonus the lucky mug free spins it gave me a full line of diamonds for 50 x.

 

[AnnaTS]

I finally unlocked the last bonus and i can see the potential in it, Just a shame you only get 2 spins.

I will try it again at some point, I would like to see what it pays if it changed loads of symbols to diamonds.

This is what it paid, I upped my bet when i only need one more key to unlock the last bonus.
