In terms of the mentioned bonus content, this game has three main features. The first of which is the Gallina Spin feature, triggered at random on any base game spin. When this feature is activated, a free spin is awarded, where if you are lucky, you will land up to 3 Golden Egg multiplier wilds, which will fall in the middle reels. Each multiplier is valued at either x2 or x3. Various combinations of these multipliers mean that you can boost your win by up to 27x in the base game. The second feature is the free spins round, triggered by landing scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5. This gives you eight free spins with more attached multipliers. Finally, there is also a golden bet feature, which is essentially a bonus buy feature. All bonuses will be explained further later on in the review.

Theme and Symbols

The theme for this slot is an American chicken farm, with red barns, chicken coops and old tractors populating the screen. However, unlike a typical chicken farm, this farm has a few very special hens that, due to some unbelievable ability, can lay golden eggs, which are incredibly valuable. However, this chicken farm also has an issue with foxes and bad weather and every other inconvenience in the chicken business. The theme is put together nicely and, by all accounts, is actually very impressive and high quality.

The background for this slot game is the farm in which these magical hens reside. To the right of the reels, players will see red chicken coops, tall poplar trees, and a windmill that has seen better days. To the left is an old tractor, a few bales of hay and some more trees. The art style is cartoonish but with an ample amount of detail which lifts the whole scene. The weather also changes when you enter bonus rounds, bringing a new dimension to the game's visual appeal.

The board has been made out of wood and rope and fits in with the rest of the aesthetic for the game. You should also notice golden eggs at the top of each reel, which is essential when considering the bonus content.

The symbols are a mishmash of old school slot symbols and more theme-related farm icons. The casino symbols include the lucky 7s and the bar and double bar symbols. These pay a little more than the least valuable symbols of the ear of corn and the bales of hay. The pouch of golden coins, the chick, the fox, and the angry hen, are the more valuable symbols here. The angry hen is the most valuable symbol in terms of the regular icons, paying 13.33x your stake for the maximum combination of 5 in a row. On the other hand, the specials are comprised of the rooster, which is the wild symbol, the golden eggs (which can also be wilds) and finally, the Golden Gallina logo bonus symbol, which represents the free spins scatter.

Features

The first feature in this game is the Gallina Spin feature, activated at random on any base game spin. When the feature is triggered, a free spin is awarded to the player, in which the goal is to land as many as three golden eggs on the reels at once. Each egg can come with a multiplier of either x2 or x3. If you manage to land multiple golden eggs, then the value of the multiplier is combined. For example, if you were to land a x2 multiplier egg and a x3 multiplier eggs, your win would be boosted by x6. Larger multipliers are available in the free spins game.

The second feature in this game is the free spins bonus, triggered by landing bonus scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 simultaneously. Your award initially will be eight free spins. If a wild golden egg lands, it will come with a x2 multiplier attached to it. Land a subsequent egg on a reel that already has an egg, and the multiplier will be boosted to x3. Unlike in the base game, golden eggs can land on all five reels in the free spins game and still combine. Meaning that if you land a 3x multiplier egg on every reel, your win will be boosted by 243x. If this should happen, you are also granted another five free spins.

Finally, the golden bet feature is only available in some countries, which gives you the choice of buying your way into the free spins with a 50x stake deposit. However, this option is not available in the UK.

Conclusion

With golden eggs falling from the sky across the base and free spins game, there are plenty of opportunities to score some awesome multiplier wins in this game. Indeed, the features are truly the highlight of this game. However, thanks to a decent RTP and a tempting top prize, iSoftBet should have plenty of players wanting to play this game.
