Netent Finn And The Swirly Spin
Finn and the Swirly Spin is truly unique a 5-reel slot game from legendary developers NetEnt played on a never-before-seen swirling 5x5 grid. This Irish themed slot utilises a cluster pay mechanic and has exciting randomly triggered features including Starfall wilds, Dragon Destroy, Irish Luck and Magic Transform. NetEnt Finn and the Swirly Spin, an exciting casino slot with a unique twist on the reels. Look out for: exploding wild wins, non-wild wins that create them, a key that moves from start to finish to open the bonus and collecting more keys opens up new worlds.
A great thing with NetEnt is the huge variation in their slots. Finn and the Swirly Spin is an odd Irish themed game with a different approach. It’s a 5-row and 5-reel video slot with symbols landing on the reels in a swirly pattern. Any vertical or horizontal line with 3 or more of a certain symbol will trigger a win. If you get a win, winning symbols will disappear and remaining symbols will fill the empty space.
The wild symbol is a star that looks like a star from a Super Mario game. If you get a win without a wild symbol, a new wild symbol will appear in place of one of the symbols that has exploded. After each spin, new symbols will avalanche and fill the empty spaces until there are no further wins. During a spin avalanche wins are added to the balance with winnings from the main game.
The highest-valued symbol in the game is the ruby. The second highest valued one is the acorn. On third place is the golden horseshoe on fourth place is the four-leaved clover. The least valuable symbols are the spade and heart symbol. The three other symbols in the game are the free spins key, the star (wild) and sticky wild.
During the game, the main character Finn will sometimes throw some magic and one of four different features will randomly occur.
- Starfall Wilds: Two or more wilds will randomly be placed on the reels.
- Dragon Destroy: It will destroy a random number of symbols that will then retrigger a respin.
- Irish Luck: A line of one symbol appears on the reels giving a guaranteed win. The symbol is chosen at random.
- Magic Transform: The lower valued spade and heart symbols will be transformed into a more valuable symbol.
In the start of each spin (round) there will always be a free spins key symbol in the bottom left corner. The goal is to get this Freespins key into the keyhole in the middle of the game field. As wins occur and symbols disappear the key symbol will progress towards the center (middle) of the game field. Free spins will be activated if you are lucky and get the key into the keyhole. Every time you reach the freespins-mode a key is collected and stored in the bottom right corner.
A beautiful thing is that the key meter will not reset when the game is closed. You will be able to continue to play with the number of keys you had collected when you restart the game. When you get the magic free spins key into the keyhole, you reach the Freespins world. There are 4 different types of Freespins and you can choose the type you like but you need various amounts of keys to unlock a certain type of free spin.
- Star Bar Freespins:You receive 7 Star Bar Free spins – same feature as in Starfall Wilds. One key is required to unlock this type of Free spins.

Finn and the Swirly Spin is a cozy game with lovely colorful cartoonish graphic. It’s an exciting game with lots of features and with spins that can last for long because of the avalanche feature. Some NetEnt games could have more footage but it is not necessary for Finn and the Swirly. Like in Gonzo’s Quest one gets company throughout the entire game. In Gonzo’s Quest, it’s Gonzo that entertains the player with different moves during the game. In this game, it’s Finn that plays on a flute.
Netent Finn And The Swirly Spinners
Finn is a typical Leprechaun with red hair. A leprechaun is a small Irish man often dressed in green clothes from the Irish folklore. It’s believed that the Leprechaun reveals the hiding place of treasure if caught, in Irish folklore.
White clouds, green hills, trees, clear blue sky and a mighty tree with swirls can bee seen in the beautiful background. The sound is good, friendly and has a magical fairytale clang to it. The relaxing atmosphere makes it pleasurable to play the game. This game fits all kind of players. A good thing is that the minimum bet is 0.1€. It means that you can use it as a “wager game” instead of Starburst or play for a smaller bet if you feel for it.
What makes this game really interesting is that the key meter will not reset when the game is closed. It means that you will keep all your keys and enjoy the adventure for a long time and get rewarded if you play the game a lot, or are a big fan of it. Another good game that will reward you for playing it a lot is Thunderstruck II. Like in Finn and the Swirly you get the possibility to choose between more kind of Freespins if you reach the Freespins-mode many times. This is a feature we appreciate.
This is a unique game that has become a “NetEnt-classic”. Finn and the Swirly Spin is a great game with superb graphics that we recommend.
