Andvari the Fortune Chill Link&Win Slot Review
High above pastel clouds, a white-bearded aviator grins over his gold while three striped hot-air balloons bob on golden ropes above a bulb-studded wooden cabinet. Andvari the Fortune Chill Link&Win dresses like a storybook adventure, but almost nothing it pays happens up here: this is a game that keeps its real money in the bonus games and asks you to drift through a thin base game to reach them.
Foxium have built this one as a 5×4 grid with 40 fixed paylines, running at 96.36% RTP on medium volatility, with stakes from 0.20 to 25.00 per spin. It sits in the studio’s Link&Win family alongside Andvari The Golden Fish, Devil’s Boulevard Link&Win and Bisonous Fever Ultra Link & Win, and it’s the three separate bonus games and a Grand Jackpot worth up to 10,000x bet that carry the appeal. The balloons are patient company.
Base Game & Features
Wins pay left to right across the 40 fixed paylines, beginning on the leftmost reel, and only the highest combination on each payline counts. The top of the paytable is a red fruit worth 10x bet for five of a kind, and the ladder steps down from there to the royals.
- Red fruit/gem – 3 pays 1x, 4 pays 3x, 5 pays 10x bet
- Purple potion – 3 pays 0.5x, 4 pays 2x, 5 pays 5x bet
- Blue scroll (feather) – 3 pays 0.4x, 4 pays 1.5x, 5 pays 4x bet
- Green scroll – 3 pays 0.3x, 4 pays 1x, 5 pays 3x bet
- Anchor – 3 pays 0.2x, 4 pays 0.8x, 5 pays 2.5x bet
- A / K – 3 pays 0.2x, 4 pays 0.5x, 5 pays 2x bet
- Q / J – 3 pays 0.2x, 4 pays 0.4x, 5 pays 1.5x bet
Wilds substitute for every symbol except the coins and the collect symbol, which is the whole of their job here. The real action sits with the coins, which land on reels 1 to 4 carrying values of 0.5x up to 50x bet, in any colour. When a collect symbol lands on reel 5, the total of every coin showing is awarded at once. Wins from the collect feature add to any payline wins from the same spin.
Jackpot Tokens and the Jackpot Ladder
Four jackpots sit above the reels: Mini, Minor, Major and Grand. Jackpot tokens can appear anywhere in both the base game and the bonus games, and they behave differently in each.
In the base game, each token that lands randomly increases one jackpot’s value by 0.5x bet, so the ladder visibly creeps upward as a session goes on. In the bonus games, tokens are collected towards a specific jackpot instead, and the colour decides which one they feed.
The prize ranges are wide, and the Grand is where the ceiling of the whole game lives:
- Mini – 10x to 20x bet (2 tokens)
- Minor – 30x to 50x bet (3 tokens)
- Major – 250x to 500x bet (4 tokens)
- Grand – 5,000x to 10,000x bet (5 tokens)
Jackpot values scale with the bet, so the ranges always refer to the current stake rather than fixed amounts. Collect payouts are separate from the ladder, so a single spin can pay both.
Andvari the Fortune Chill Link&Win Bonus Games
There are three bonus games, and the route into them is unusual: a coloured coin collected by its matching hot-air balloon. Purple opens Double Flow, pink opens Multi Breeze and green opens Windy Locks. Before any of them begin, there’s a choice of landscape, and that choice matters more than it looks.
The Wheel of Odds
Each landscape comes with a spin of the Wheel of Odds, and each wheel offers a different perk:
- Ocean Breeze – a chance at an Extra Spin, raising the spin reset value by one
- Tropicool – a chance at the Jackpot Maximiser, which bumps every bonus jackpot to its maximum value
- Peak Calm – a chance at an extra Bonus Jackpot token, improving the odds on the ladder
The Maximiser only applies inside the bonus game, so Tropicool is the pick when the ladder is the goal, while Ocean Breeze suits a run at filling the grid.
Double Flow Bonus Game
Double Flow is played on two independent 5×4 arrays at once, each starting with three spins. Purple coins lock in place and reset that array’s spin counter, and the round only ends when each array has run out of spins or filled completely. Two grids means two chances to build a full screen.
A special thunderbolt coin can land during the round, triggering the Coins Up feature: it increases the value of four random purple coins on the reels, or of every landed coin if fewer than four are showing.
Multi Breeze Bonus Game
Multi Breeze is a single 5×4 grid with three initial spins, but every spin awards a random multiplier of 2x, 3x or 5x, applied immediately to any new pink coins that land. Locked pink coins reset the counter as usual. It’s the shortest path to a big single-grid finish, since late high multipliers compound on whatever’s already locked.
Windy Locks Bonus Game
Windy Locks starts as a 5×4 grid with the upper rows locked, and it’s the one bonus that grows. Locked green coins reset the three-spin counter, and collecting enough of them unlocks extra rows:
- 8 green coins – unlock 1 additional row
- 12 green coins – unlock 2 additional rows
- 16 green coins – unlock 3 additional rows
- 20 green coins – unlock 4 additional rows, reaching the full 5×8 grid
A full 5×8 grid of locked coins is the biggest single-screen payout the game can produce, and the row thresholds give the round a visible progress bar of its own. Bonus Jackpot tokens collected along the way keep feeding the ladder, so a strong Windy Locks run can pay twice over.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.2/10
Playing Andvari the Fortune Chill Link&Win is mostly watching the sky. The base game pays in crumbs while the jackpot ladder ticks up half a stake at a time, and the one reason to choose it is what happens when a balloon finally catches its coin: three genuinely different bonus games, each with its own shape.
Windy Locks is the best thing here, because a grid that grows gives a round somewhere to climb, and the landscape choice before each bonus means you walk in with a plan instead of just hoping. The front half is the problem: a 22.93% hit rate and a paytable that tops out at 10x make the waits long and lightly rewarded.
It suits players who enjoy the slow build and like a ladder to watch between bonuses; anyone chasing frequent feature hits will find the sky empty. For the patient kind, the old aviator’s balloons are worth the drift.
