Thunderkick’s extras never fail to amaze. Birds on a Wire is a cunningly stylized slot that introduces both novelties and makeovers. Whereas certain extras do resemble some features already seen, others are there to make your day.
Theme
Birds on a Wire easily calls to mind many an old-school game. For us, the first association was Moorhuhnjagd, but that’s only graphics-wise. These birds don’t get shot, mind you. They get electrified!
Betting Options and Other Functions

Features
Thunderkick introduces attractive extras, such as are wilds, scatters, dropping symbols, high voltage multipliers and Inwinity Spin®. Introducing them in order of appearance hereby:
- The fat black bird acts as the game’s wild. It substitutes for all symbols except for the scatter. The highest scatter payout is 200 credits for 5 symbols.
- The cat-in-the-box symbol acts as the game’s scatter. Lining up 3 or more of them will trigger the bonus round. 10 free spins are awarded initially, with additional 2 spins being added per every other bonus symbol appearing during the round. The maximum number of free spins stands at 34.
- Dropping symbols:
- High voltage multipliers:
For each win on a drop, the multiplier increases one level. Multiplier levels in regular gameplay: 1x, 2x, 3x, and 5x. Multiplier levels in the bonus game: 4x, 8x, 12x, and 20x.
- Inwinity Spin® is the big feature. The symbol resembles a $ sign rotated 90 degrees clockwise. The mode activates when all free spins have ended without a win. The reels will continue to spin until a win is hit. A similar feature is also seen in Barber Shop Uncut.
As you can see, it can hardly be said that Birds on a Wire is featureless!
