Eagles Wings Slot Review

In terms of the online slot industry; the Eagles Wings slot is old, practically ancient, having been Launched in 2011, when David Tennant was Dr. Who, the iPhone 4S was new, and the UK was preparing for the Olympics - the Eagles Wings slot comes from a simpler time! Eagles Wings looks like a casino or bar games cabinet video slot with the reels taking up the entire screen, framed in gold, and 2D symbols that are still good but show their age despite recent graphical changes.

The theme also can be argued to be a bit dated. Some developers still use the Native American theme, although larger companies like Games Global have moved away from more controversial themes due to social changes over the previous decade. You will be relieved to note though that the Eagles Wings slot handles its subject matter more sensitively, with an emphasis on iconic design elements like totem poles, and the animals (such as eagles) which populate the wilds of America.

The soundtrack is inoffensive, modernising spiritual pan-flute music - think American Spiritualism meets smooth jazz. Of course, you can easily turn the soundtrack off if this weird fusion of old and new music is not to your taste.

A leaping salmon, eagle chicks, a flying eagle, and a close-up of an eagle are among the higher-paying symbols on the Eagles Wings video slot machine. Playing card symbols are the low-paying symbols. Scatters give free spins, and Wilds pay the highest value and can multiply the value of combinations it forms part of.

The Eagles Wings slot follows a formula of many slots of its age with the triad of bonuses; scatters, wilds, and free spins. How these play out in the slot is explored in more detail below:

Stacked Wilds

Together with offering the biggest jackpot in the game, the Wilds double any win they are a part of; which is a nice touch that should boost wins somewhat. Additionally the wild symbol; which looks like the game's logo awards the highest payout of 1,000 coins, and can also appear stacked on the reels - just like a totem pole.

Scatters and Free Spins

Getting three or more of the eagle coin scatters in any reel position within a single spin will start the free spins bonus feature. Players are prompted to pick one of the coins which will reveal the free spins won —between five and sixty; an impressive potential sum. 

Best of all during free spins which time all wins treble in value, this means the top payout becomes 15,000 coins. The free spins bonus can also be retriggered by landing three more scatters and you will win the same amount of spins you revealed when the round first became active. This means if you are lucky enough to retrigger the bonus having won 60 spins, you will gain another 60 spins!

It is really impressive that in an industry that moves at a breakneck pace, the nearly 15-year-old Eagles Wings slot still has a loyal fan following. I think this because of its simplicity. The graphics are of good quality, and establish a theme well, but there are no (sometimes obnoxious) distracting animations. The bonus features include staples like free spins, scatters, and trebled wins, but the small twists like retriggers that award the same number of spins give the game a unique feel.  

In a market currently obsessed with high-volatility gameplay the low volatility rating of Eagles Wings offers a change in pace and keeps the game accessible to players of all skill levels. The 96.47% RTP is very strong and the 15,000 coins top prize still feels relevant to today's standards. For these reasons I give the Eagles Wings slot a very respectable score of 7.5/10.

Rating: 7.5
