Flamingo Paradise

Overview Flamingo Paradise

Flamingo Paradise from Red Rake Gaming is all about that feeling of relaxation that is unique to being on holiday on a beautiful tropical island. Players are invited to get away, put their feet up and indulge in a brightly coloured cocktail, as they listen to the calming waves lap in the distance. Vibrant, colourful, and beautifully designed, Flamingo Paradise is exactly the right slot to play after a busy and stressful week.

This free slot isn’t all cocktails and hammocks however, there is also some pretty serious gaming to be done with some great features and an impressive 12,500x your stake top prize to be won. Some of the features included in this game are dictated by the mini set of reels that sits atop the main reels on the screen. This is called the Upper Prize Bar and contains a lucrative Flamingo free spins round. Also in this Upper Prize Bar is the Paradise wheel, which gives you access to added wilds, re-spins and nudges, all of which help you get every closer to those top payouts.

Theme and Symbols

Flamingo Paradise is about as close to the experience of visiting a remote Caribbean island as one is likely to come to whist still in the comfort of their own home. Red Rake Gaming settle you into this paradise by creating a background that looks inviting and relaxing. The game looks out into the sea at dusk when the pink and purple hues of the sunset have started to dance across the sky. To the right and left of the board are a few hints to the tropical foliage that is in abundance on this island, such as wide palm trees and broad-leafed ferns swaying gently in the breeze.

Through the violet translucence of the playing window, you can also just make out a rudimentary beach hut, sparking memories of being on the beach in the summertime. The board has been created to look as though it is made from bamboo poles, in the style of a Hawaiian Lūʻau.

The symbols are just as beautiful and colourful as their surroundings. The low-paying symbols are a set of delicious-looking tropical fruits such as pineapples, strawberries, watermelon, papaya and dragon fruit. The higher value symbols take the shape of two cocktails as well as a toucan and of course the stunning macaw parrots. There are also two wilds symbols for this game- the flamingo and the luminous ‘wild’ sign.

Features

As we mentioned in the introduction, this game has what it calls an Upper Prize Bar, located above the regular reels. You’ll notice that above each normal reel there is a mini one, each one of which contains a different special prize. The prizes displayed in the mini reels change with every new spin. Whilst you are in the base game, mini reels only appear above reels 1, 3 and 5. The other 2 are unlocked when you reach the free spins feature. To activate these special prize reels, you must land the flamingo symbol in the respective reel. If you land more than one special prize on one spin you get multiple prizes.

Landing the Flamingo symbol when the reel is displaying Flamingo Spins will trigger this feature. This bonus awards players 5 free spins. Wins that include the flamingo symbol in them will benefit from a random multiplier. The multiplier stops being applied at the end of the special feature. Whilst the special feature is playing out, the Upper Prize Bar will be shut off.
Next is the Paradise Reel. Landing the flamingo symbol when this bonus is on display triggers this feature. The special Paradise Reel will then spin and give you one of three options to play. These are as follows:

A Flamingo Wild Respin- This will give you one respin but with the middle reel completely occupied by wilds. A payout follows the respin.
The Exotic Flamingo Paradise Wheel – This is a bit like a roulette bonus. You pick either red or purple at the beginning of the round and hope that the reel stops on the colour that you picked. If it does, the corresponding multiplier displayed will be added to the multiplier counter, and you will spin again. This continues up to a multiplier of 100x your stake. If the colour is wrong however the multiplier will be applied to your win and the feature will terminate.
Lastly is the nudge option – This means that the wilds active on the reels will suddenly become nudge wilds, moving up and down to help you score more wins.

The other feature is the straightforward free spins feature. To trigger the free spins, players need to land the flamingo symbol in the special mini reel. This will award players 10 free spins.

Conclusion

If you want to be whisked away to a magical island wonderland where you can not only order a Sex on the Beach but win some serious dough, this might be the right game for you. The special thing about this slot is the Upper Prize Bar which gives you access to all those excellent bonuses which add new and exciting dimensions to gameplay. The 12,500x your stake top win isn’t too shabby either.
