Finger Lick’n Free Spins Slot Review
Finger Lick’n Free Spins from Pragmatic Play looks like a typical farmyard frolic at first glance. Cheerful animals with rustic vibes, but behind the barn doors lies a sly twist – a fox in a hen house, eyeing up his all-you-can-eat buffet.
The chickens look fairly unfazed about their imminent demise, and to be honest, we’re not too fazed by Finger Lick’n Free Spins, at first glance anyway. Perhaps its gameplay will win us over, where its visuals failed to, or perhaps it’s a filler release in Pragmatic’s hectic schedule.
It’s not the first from Pragmatic Play to play on the popular farming theme, having released slots like Country Farming, Chicken Drop, and Chicken Chase.
There’s seemingly a demand for Farming and Animal-themed Slots, but are farmyard animals up there with the exotic creatures of the Amazon, Savannah or Ocean? Probably not, they’re just chickens, but even chickens have a place in the wonderful world of slots.
Pragmatic Play has rated this one as ‘very high’ volatility, with a max win of 6,000x the bet. We’re hoping it’s more exciting than meets the eye, but we’ll find out now.
Base Game & Features
Finger Lick’n Free Spins is a 5-reel 3-row slot with 10 fixed paylines.
Wins require at least 3 matching symbols to land on consecutive reels from left to right, starting from the first reel.
High-paying symbols offering payouts between 0.8x and 100x the bet for 3, 4, or 5-of-a-kind. Lower-paying symbols are made up of A to Q royals, with payouts ranging from 0.4x to 6x the bet for the same.
Wilds can land on all reels and substitute for all standard symbols. They also come with their own payout values, awarding 2x, 10x, or 10x the bet for 3, 4, or 5-of-a-kind wins.
Finger Lick’n Free Spins Bonus
At any moment during the base game, hens perched above the reels can drop eggs into the baskets below. Land 3 or more eggs on the same spin, and you’ll trigger the Free Spins bonus.
Before the round begins, each reel that catches an egg reveals a random prize by cracking open. These can be:
- 1, 2, or 3 free spins
- 1 Wild symbol
- An instant cash prize of 2x to 100x your bet
You’re guaranteed to see at least 4 cracked eggs, with at least 3 revealing cash prizes and one revealing a Wild. Occasionally, golden eggs will drop in, offering bigger potential rewards:
- 5, 10, or 15 free spins
- A Wild with a random multiplier of x5, x10, x15, or x20
- A direct cash award of 50x, 100x, 500x, or even 2,000x your bet
Once the round starts, all Wilds revealed from egg drops stay sticky for the duration of the bonus, but they don’t stay put. Instead, they jump to a new random position on every spin.
Even better, hens can still drop eggs during Free Spins. Each new egg cracks open to reveal one of the same prizes as in the base game. If a new Wild lands where an existing one is already sitting, it stacks, adding either a +1x multiplier or replacing it with the higher value if the new Wild has one.
All multipliers stack if multiple Wilds are part of the same win, and special reels are in play throughout the round.
Bonus Buy
In available markets, players can buy their way into Free Spins for 100x the bet.
Once triggered, you’re guaranteed at least 3 eggs in the basket, triggering Free Spins.
The RTP of the bonus buy is 96.55%
Ante Bet
Players have the option to select the ante bet, which doubles the bet for a higher chance at offering free spins.
It doesn’t specify by how much the chance is doubled, which would be better and more informative
Our Honest Verdict
Finger Lick’n Free Spins isn’t bad, nor particularly good, and frankly, not quite with an overly in-depth analysis of every detail.
First off, the Base Game is fairly uneventful; the aim here is to get to Free Spins as quickly as possible; we doubt many would stick around for lengthy sessions where it didn’t trigger. Once it does, things get a little more interesting.
We like the Egg Win reveal before the bonus starts, which reveals free spins, wilds and instant cash prizes. It’s nice to get something in the bank before the bonus even starts, but perhaps more imperative to get the wilds.
It’s a payline game. Wins are generally higher for full lines of symbols on paylines, so Wilds are pretty vital for the success of the bonus. Eggs can drop in the bonus, which can increase the longevity of the bonus or make it more exciting with extra wilds, more wins or extra spins, but overall, we’d rate Finger Lick’n Free Spins bang average.
There’s demand for the average; not everything needs to be brilliant innovation or quirky and wonderful. Finger Lick’n Free Spins will suit casual players just fine, but it won’t leave a significant mark.
