In real life, aristocrats used to hunt foxes for fun. In Foxin’ Wins from NextGen Gaming, the roles get reversed. Here the fox is the aristocrat. While there is no hunting involved, there is a random bonus game where a leprechaun gets chased across the bottom of the screen.
Foxin' Wins Features
The Foxin’ Wins pokie has the following features:
If the fox catches the leprechaun, you find gold coming your way. Other times, a fox simply turns a pot of gold upside down.
You can choose two levels of ‘Super Bet’ for extra wilds and bigger wins.
Get 10 free spins, with doubled wins and even more on-reel features.
Wait for a big win and see foxes leap for joy over the reels.
The reels of this online slot are set inside a room of a mansion house. You’ll see old paintings on the wall, and a lot of gold trim. The spin button is a cushion on an ornate chair.
This contrasts with the cartoon action on the reels. There are plenty of small animations. My picks are the cheeky fox pup, which physically spins symbols to turn them into wilds. The pot of gold scatters will also turn upside down when you trigger the bonus spins. This creates a shower of gold coins.
Random bonuses see characters appear over the reels, while the first time you hit a big win, the celebrating foxes are waiting to entertain you.
Foxin' Wins Gameplay
Before you spin, you have a decision to make. You can bet 25 coins per spin as a default – or opt for 35 or even 50 coins. These are controlled by a ‘Super Bet’ meter to the right of the reels. Here are the options:
No Super Bet: Fox pups flip regular symbols into wilds on reel 3 only.
Level 1: You now add fox pup wilds on reel 2
Level 2: The first three reels can now get fox pup wilds
The game is a lot more entertaining with the extra wilds in play. You will also find the returns slightly higher if you choose this option.
Prizes for combining symbols on the 25 win-lines are the same for the regular bets or two super-bet levels. If you did opt for the extra wilds, you will often find wins coming in over multiple win-lines.
The aristocratic fox has the biggest prize. This is worth 2,000 coins for the full five of a kind – in additional any other combinations created by substituting for the other symbols. Other high-paying symbols include a roll of banknotes, stately home and the fox in a bright red classic car.
Playing card symbols have been given a sparkling gold trim to fit with the theme – and make up the smaller/more regular wins.
Bonuses and Promotions with Foxin' Wins
After any spin, one of two on-reel features can kick in. The first sees a small green leprechaun running on the bottom of the reels. He is followed by a fox, dressed in an aristocratic morning suit. If the fox catches the leprechaun (he won’t always), then he turns it upside down, and shakes gold out. This turns into a credit win.
The other feature involves the fox turning a huge pot of gold over, shaking out coins. Again, these are awarded as credit wins. You’ll get these occasionally during the base game spins – when you hit the free spins bonus, they are more frequent.
Pots of gold are the scatter symbols. If you get two, you’ll win a prize (which is high for the full five). What you are after is three or more. This triggers 10 free spins. During these spins, any win you hit is doubled – and you’ll get more fox pup wilds, leprechauns and fox gold bonuses. You can retrigger the free spins during play with three or more pots of gold.
