Coin Collect Feature
Above each reel is a collection of 4 Coin Slots. In addition to regular symbols, Coin symbols also have a chance of appearing on the reels. Landing these symbols adds 1 Coin to the top of the reel.
Collecting a total of 4 Coins on any reel will trigger the Andvari Wild Reel feature. Coins cannot be collected on an active Wild Reel, and coin meters persist for each bet level.
Andvari Wild Reel
Once the Andvari Wild Reel feature is active, the entire reel becomes Wild, helping you complete pay lines easily. Each reel persists for 4 Spins, and Wild Reels triggered during Free Spins will persist until the feature ends. Scatter symbols are visible through Wild Reels.
Bubble Bang
The Bubble Bang feature highlights Jackpot Prizes. While spinning, your reels can land a bubble over any of the regular symbols. These contain a Golden Fish which offers opportunities to trigger the Bubble Bang feature.
Once active, players are tasked with popping bubbles to collect fish and claim a Jackpot Prize. The 4 Jackpot Prizes available are as follows:
- Mini: Awards 15x your bet
- Minor: Awards 40x your bet
- Major: Awards 500x your bet
- Grand: Awards 5,000x your bet
Gamble Feature
Andvari the Golden Fish also features a Gamble option, where applicable. This offers players a chance to win the Free Spins feature too. Players have the option to change the success rate of the Wheel for differing prices.
Bonus Buy
In addition to the Gamble feature, players can also purchase Free Spins for an additional 65x their current bet.
Free Spins
Landing 3 Scatters on reels 2, 3, and 4 triggers the Free Spins round, awarding 12 Free Spins. All Wild Reels that hit during this time will persist throughout the remaining spins.
Boosted Free Spins
Landing fewer than 3 Scatters will charge the Free Spins Boost Meter. Once fully charged, regular Scatters transform into Boosted Scatters. Landing 3 Boosted Scatters in the base game triggers an enhanced Free Spins round, awarding 12 Free Spins.
This round begins with 2 Andvari Wild Reels in view. Also present is a Multiplier Wheel, allowing wins to be multiplied between x2 and x10 the amount. Once the round ends, the Free Spins Boost Meter is reset.
Conclusion
Andvari the Golden Fish offers a relaxing and pleasant experience. Wild Reels and Bubble Bang features easily trigger the flow of serotonin, while the Free Spins round feels simple but fair. Having the option to buy or gamble for additional spins is always a bonus too, yet these do not account for UK players.
The theme, solid design, and catchy sound effects accommodate gameplay nicely, appealing to both the eyes and ears. The charming visuals and simple yet elegant animations show us you don’t need anything overly flashy to get the most out of a game.
The Bubble Bang feature is definitely a highlight for us, offering a simple yet effective function which is easy to understand. Bursting those bubbles is both satisfying and promising, leading to epic Jackpot Prizes worth up to 5,000x your bet.
While the max win is capped at 5,000x your bet, the RTP and Medium Volatility rating allow players to indulge in gameplay without the risk a High Volatility title may bring.
Overall, Andvari the Golden Fish is a solid addition to the growing roster of Foxium titles, and we look forward to seeing where they take the series next!
