Game Overview

Kingfisher Winterborn is a video slot provided by Games Global. It features 5 reels and 4 rows, offering a total of 20 fixed paylines.

Payline and Win Mechanics

Paylines

This slot has 20 fixed paylines. The number of paylines cannot be changed.
Each payline is a predefined pattern running across the reels where winning symbol combinations can occur.
Wins are awarded for matching symbols that land on a payline, beginning from the leftmost reel and continuing consecutively to the right.

Payout Rules

Payouts for payline wins are calculated based on the initial bet per spin.
Only the highest win per payline is paid. Multiple wins across different paylines in a single spin are added together to form the total payout for that spin.
Only the highest winning combination is paid for each symbol combination.
It is possible to achieve both payline and bonus feature wins within the same spin.
The paytable shows the payout amounts for each symbol combination based on the current bet selected.
The displayed maximum win per spin ("win up to" value) is the highest achievable on a single spin and is rounded down.

Betting Information

The minimum bet per spin is £0.20 and the maximum bet per spin is £4.00.
Each spin costs the total bet selected, which is distributed across all 20 paylines.
The initial bet for each payline is calculated by dividing the total bet by 20 paylines.

Symbol Features

Wild Symbols

Wild symbols substitute for other symbols to complete winning combinations, except for scatter and specific special symbols.
Wilds can also form their own winning combinations when appearing consecutively on a payline.

Scatter Symbols

The Kingfisher symbol acts as the scatter.
Scatters can land anywhere on the reels and have the potential to trigger the game's Bonus Feature.

Bonus Feature and Enhancements

Above each reel, an egg is present, each with unique enhancement mechanics:

When a Kingfisher scatter lands on a reel, it pecks at the egg above and may crack it open, activating the corresponding enhancement.
Eggs on reels 1, 2, 4, and 5 award individual enhancements, which can be combined if multiple are activated in the same spin.
The golden egg on reel 3 provides free spins with all enhancements active and offers a chance to boost enhancement values before the round begins.
Cracking any egg initiates 10 free spins, with the triggered enhancement(s) applied throughout these spins.
During free spins, Fish symbols with assigned values and any active upgrade symbols appear on the reels.
Any time a Kingfisher symbol appears, it collects the values of all visible Fish and upgraded symbols, except during the respin, where collection occurs at the end of that session.
Wins are determined based on the collected values of the special symbols at the conclusion of each free spin.
All bonus feature winnings are automatically credited when the feature ends.
The maximum possible win from a single bonus feature is limited to 6000x the total bet.
If total winnings during the Bonus Feature reach or exceed this maximum, only the limit is paid, and the feature concludes.
The bet value used in the Bonus Feature corresponds to the spin that triggered it.
The Bonus Feature cannot be retriggered during free spins.

Bonus Reel Enhancements

Reel 1 – Multiplier Enhancement: Begins at x1 and increases by 1 for every special X symbol landed during the feature. This multiplier enhances the value of each Fish or upgraded symbol when collected by a Kingfisher. The multiplier can rise to a maximum of 5x.
Reel 2 – Adder Enhancement: Starts at 0. Each special + symbol that lands adds 1x the current stake to the enhancement. The value in the egg’s box is added to all Fish and upgraded symbols during Kingfisher collections. The maximum Adder enhancement is 5x the stake.
Reel 3 – Golden Egg Feature: Activates all available enhancements for the free spins. There is an opportunity to increase enhancement values before the free spins begin.
Reel 4 – Symbol Upgrade: Starts with the 10 symbol. For every Arrow Up symbol landed, a new royal symbol (progressing through Jack, Queen, King, and Ace) is highlighted for upgrade. Monetary values are added to these symbols for the feature’s duration and collected whenever a Kingfisher collects symbols.
Reel 5 – Respin Upgrade: Every Heart symbol increases the count of available chances for the respin. Landing a Kingfisher triggers a respin where all Fish and upgraded symbols, along with the Kingfisher, lock in place, while the remaining positions respin. New Fish and upgraded symbols also lock in. Each spin without new symbols reduces the remaining respin chances. The respin session ends when no chances remain or all reel positions are filled. After the respin, the number of chances returns to the starting value for that session. No paylines are active during the respin feature.
