Feasting Fox

Review Feasting Fox

Quickspin is one of today’s most popular game developers and they are known for their high quality pokies. In this latest release, you will go to a place where chicken and a fox live together, oh well, sort of, as the fox is actually there to look for his meal. The most interesting part of Feasting Fox is that the title of the game actually gives you a good idea of what to expect; you’re not here to save the poor chicken. Instead, the fox is up for a party and you’ve made it to the grid to give him a hand. Albeit its festive theme, the sound effects are rather suspenseful so it can get very exciting in this pokie game by Quickspin.

How to Play

The Feasting Fox demo at CherryRed is available for free and we recommend you make use of the free option before moving on to an online casino in NZ. The idea is to get you as fully prepared as possible before you make your first real money spin, so here is also a quick explanation of how to play the Feasting Fox pokie by Quickspin:

• This pokie game is presented on a standard 5×3 grid and a total of 20 fixed paylines, these go from left to right. Pressing on the Stacked Coins icon or making use of the +/- modifiers will help you to change the base bet.
• This way, bets can be made between $0.20 and $100 for every game. By pressing on the Spin button, you can choose the selected bet and start spinning Feasting Fox.
• The above will require the player to push the button every time they play. The Autoplay feature is another way to do this and offers advanced settings so you can limit the amount of autoplays.
• When enabled, the Turbo control will speed up the reels. Furthermore, make use of the Menu or Settings buttons to get extra options. This includes the game rules and the paytable.

Symbol Wins

Feasting Fox is a funny version of the chicken versus fox story that has always existed and will always continue to exist. In this new pokie game, the 5 different egg symbols are the low value symbols in the game, whilst the 5 chickens and roosters (including the rat in disguise) are the symbols that pay out the highest values. Combinations of 5-of-a-kind are worth 2 to 3x the stake for the low value symbols or 5 to 10x the stakes for the premium ones. The wild symbols in the game come with a fox as well and can be found on all the reels. The wild symbol pays up to 50x the stake, whilst the wilds substitute for any regular symbol. The wilds can be fully stacked, which means that they will cover the entire reel. Here is more about the different symbols in this online pokie game:

Bonus Features

Feasting Fox comes with 3 features which we’ll touch upon below. This pokie game gets especially interesting when a fox comes into play, which happens when the FOOOXX!! feature is activated. However, the free spins feature also creates a lot of excitement which you’ll discover below.

FOOOXX!!

Each pay symbol can land stacked in Feasting Fox, meaning 3 of the same symbols are vertically adjacent to each other. However, if a stacked symbol only partially lands on the grid, a fox can appear and push the stacked symbol completely into view with his paws. As a result, FOOOXX!! is activated. That means the stacked symbol turns into a wild, after which you receive a respin.

Feasting Fox Free Spins

The free spins feature of Feasting Fox actually works almost the same as the base game. The only difference on the bonus round is that the player is guaranteed that the fox pushes a stacked symbol that has not completely landed on the playing field into full view with its hands. In the base game you need luck in order for this to happen, during the free spins feature this is already part of the feature. You earn free spins in Feasting Fox by spinning 3 or more scatters. The number of free spins are awarded as follows:

• 3 scatters award 10 free spins.
• 4 scatters award 15 free spins.
• 5 scatters award 25 free spins.

Buy Feature

Players can also buy direct access to the Chicken Dinner Free Spins round by making use of the buy feature that is available in this game. This costs 60x the bet. The RTP increases to 96.69% which will make it even more interesting from a Return to Player perspective.

Payout Metrics

The base RTP for Feasting Fox is set at 96.29% which is also an excellent number if you ask us. Out of the complete RTP, a percentage of 63.93% is reserved for the base game and 32.36% is set aside for the game’s FS round. Do note that game developer Quickspin also offers a 94.18% and a 87.07% RTP version, so make sure you check with your favourite online casino in NZ which exact percentage is used. This can be easily done by going to the paytable. Then the volatility of the game is labelled as (4/5), the Feasting Fox pokie game can payout up to 2,437x the stake which isn’t as high as one would hope for. Happening every 100 million spins, winning 100x the stake happens once every 1,100 spins on average.

Summary

We have to say that game developer Quickspin has made every effort possible to launch something interesting when it comes to the graphics. Although not meant for underage players, the game itself looks more like a cartoon than an online pokie which is a good thing as it gives the game a laid-back feeling. Having said that, the game is all about the 3-high symbol stacks which are meant to get to the Fox Wild Reels and the free re-spins. In the free spins feature, these 3-high symbol stacks can also trigger wild reels which can lead to the biggest payouts. With top wins of 1,000x the stake per spin or free spin, the 2,437x the stake is most likely when getting a series of re-spins from the Fox Wild Reels. Although the max win potential isn’t as high as we’d hoped for, the rest of the game makes a decent impression. All in all, the Feasting Fox pokie is a thrilling pokie that offers a combination of entertaining mechanics, action, and maybe even some nice meals for the fox.
