Games Global and Wishbone Games hatch a treat in Kingfisher™
Wishbone Games, a Games Global exclusive studio, has launched its latest feature-filled title with a twist in tranquil new release Kingfisher™.
Set amongst the wildlife, players join the titular Kingfisher on the reels that are adorned with fish, dragonflies and frogs, unlocking different adventures and features along the way by hatching five eggs that sit above the matrix on the 5×4 grid.
When a Kingfisher symbol lands on a reel it pecks the egg above that reel, potentially cracking it open. If the egg cracks open, 10 free spins are awarded to the player along with that coloured egg’s specific feature.
Hatching the red egg on the first reel triggers the increasing multiplier that starts on 1x and upgrades by one up to 5x with each special symbol that lands in the round. The green egg on reel two adds values together to the fish symbols, starting on 0 and adding 1x the stake for every special symbol that lands in the feature up to 5x.
Hatching the blue egg on reel four upgrades the lowest paying symbol, adding monetary value for players when every up-arrow symbol hits in the round. The purple egg on reel five initiates the respin feature in which every heart symbol that stops on the reels represents another opportunity to spin and win big.
The golden egg on reel three triggers a two-phase bonus that incorporates all of the coloured egg features activated in the round for up to 5,300x the bet.
Wishbone Games is a Cardiff-based studio and was set up in 2022. With an exciting and experienced team behind some of the most popular and well-known online gaming products, players and operators can look forward to a variety of both classic and innovative online games.
Henna Vilmi, Commercial Director of Wishbone Games, said: “We had a blast producing Kingfisher™! The whole studio was involved in brainstorming the features and it truly has been developed for players by players.
“Kingfisher himself acts as the feature-triggering symbol and our favourite part of the game is the Golden Egg super mode. Here you will get a head start in the enhancement collection with a random starting value from each egg before the free spins start. This egg is quite hard to crack but it brings another level to the game for the more experienced players.”
Andy Booth, Chief Product Officer at Games Global, said: “We are excited to introduce Kingfisher™ to our platform and showcase our continued dedication to immersing players in high quality gaming experiences.
“The game boasts simple mechanics that are feature-filled for plenty of opportunity for players new and old to win big through its multipliers, free spins and symbol upgrades, ensuring thrilling gameplay for all. Our exclusive data is showing the game is hitting all the right levels for a top tier release”.
