Quickspin knows how to create engaging cartoon-style visuals, and you get that in spades in Feasting Fox. The game comes across as a distant cousin to their classic Big Bad Wolf saga, with the fox taking on the role as the hungry bad guy in this game. You will see him constantly creeping and lurking outside the chicken coop where the 5×3 grid is placed, and we are grateful that Quickspin has kept the poultry noise to a minimum in this release.
The fox does more than creepy crawls, however, as he is also instrumental in all the features in this game. His long arms can nudge stacks of matching symbols in place, for example, and this triggers the full-reel Wild Respin feature. It can be repeated until all reels are wild, which can lead to payoutsup to 2,437x your stakein all stages. You get more of this feature in the bonus round, as all nudges that are possible will always trigger, and Feasting Fox is an entertaining release for uncomplicated gameplay.
The premium symbols pay between 5 and 10 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, while the low-level easter egg symbols pay between 2 and 3 x your stake for the same. TheFox Wildscan appear on all 5 reels as well, and they step in for pay symbols to help complete and/or improve line wins. The wilds are also the highest paying symbols in this game, clocking in at 50x your stake for 5 wilds on the same payline.
The fox is always lurking outside the chicken coop, and his long arms may nudge 3 matching symbols in place at random times. This triggers theFOOOXX!! featurewhenever it happens, and the FOOOXX!! feature also triggers when you land 3 matching symbols fully stacked on a reel without the initial nudge. The stack turns into a full-reel Fox Wild either way, and this gives you a free respin of the other reels. The FOOOXX!! feature can trigger on the respin as well, which gives you another respin.
TheChicken Dinner Bonus Roundtriggers from3, 4, or 5 coop scattersin sight, and this gives you10, 15, or 25 free spins, respectively. Stacks of matching symbols that land partially in view are always nudged fully in place in the bonus round, which triggers the FOOOXX!! feature each time. This gives you a full reel (or reels) wild respin, and you can get more respins to potentially turn every reel into a full reel wild. The latter pays 1,000x your stake, in addition to previous winnings.
TheBonus Buy featureis available in some jurisdictions, but not in the UK for sure. If eligible, you can pay60x your staketo get at least 3 triggering scatters on the spin that follows, and the bonus buy option comes with a top-tier RTP of 96.69 %.
You get to see a few base game wins here and there, before we trigger the bonus round at 0:46 into the 3:14-minute highlights video. We got the minimum of 3 triggering scatters, which gave us 10 free spins, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.
Quickspin has a thing for cartoonish predators going into hunter mode, as we have seen in their popular Big Bad Wolf series. You get a similar vibe in Feasting Fox, and the animation and attention to detail makes this a highly enjoyable experience. We like how the fox is always lurking outside the windows, or even below or on the roof of the chicken coop, and then he suddenly appears inside as a full-reel wild, ready to dine with knife and fork in hand.
The lowest premium symbol is a rat disguised as a chicken, which is kind of hilarious, but Feasting Fox is hardly for players looking for tons of innovations, features, and massive potential payouts. It’s a simple game, really, and it revolves around the full-reel wild respin feature. It tends to trigger more frequently in the bonus round, which can lead to payoutsup to 2,437x your stake(varies a bit with the RTP settings). The max win hit rate is 1 in 100m spins though, and even an “epic” 100x win can take between 1,000-1,410 spins on average.
