Feather Fury

Feather Fury: Slot Overview

When playing or reviewing your share of online slots, you get used to a certain amount of repetition; it's one way the industry manages to release such a huge number of slots on a continual basis. It's easy to get jaded about the situation, but chin up because there are studios like Relax Gaming that are able to keep coming up with new ideas to entertain gamblers and refresh the palate. A case in point is Feather Fury, which, when considering all the elements, is an online slot that acts very much in its own unique way. Unique does not automatically translate to outstanding excellence or slot of the year, but do feel free to join us as we witness a rooster in boxing gloves get beaten in the chops. A lot.

Cartoon zaniness is Feather Fury's predominant disposition, and it is held in a cosy barnyard storing hay, horseshoes, and crates. The eye is immediately drawn to the game's reel set with its unusual dimensions, next to a hierarchy of pay symbol values and a gloved rooster up top. If cartoon animal violence gives you the heebie-jeebies, then Feather Fury might not be for you. The reason is that on each losing spin, the rooster fellow takes a punch to the face. That might sound mean, but you will want to see a lot of losing spins since these are required to trigger the game's one and only feature.

Three-by-three slots abound; even 3-reel, 1-line slots lurk about the place, yet rarely do 3x2 slots pop up on screens as Feather Fury's does. Just to be crystal clear, the gaming space in this barn holds 2 rows on each of its 3 reels, which is a phenomenon you just don't see every day. The game's stats are pretty run-of-the-mill, however, not in a bad way, such as a default 96.1% RTP (94% version available as well) and volatility rated medium-high. Stake range is wide, starting at 10 c on the lowest side up to a possible $/€200 at the most per game round.

Feather Fury's itty bitty gaming grid has just four paylines for landing wins along, where only 3 OAK combinations are possible. Six pay symbols appear on the reels, and that's it. There are no scatters, wilds, bonus symbols etcetera, etcetera. The pay symbols are aubergines, corn, radishes, gloves, belts, and roosters, bearing values of 1x the bet up to 50x the bet.

Feather Fury: Slot Features

Stacks of features Feathered Fury does not have. Its main feature, and pretty much the only extra, is the Multiplier Respins feature. Respins are triggered when there are 10 consecutive losing spins in the base game. The counter towards Multiplier Respins resets to zero following a win.

When the Multiplier Respins feature is triggered, the symbol values double, and a respin is awarded. The paytable continues to double like this on each losing spin. The feature ends once a win has been created, then the player returns to the base game and the Multiplier Respins counter resets to zero.

Feather Fury: Slot Verdict

If anyone ever thought Relax Gaming were only about crafting big chonky slots with screeds of Byzantine rules and features, aka Money Train 4 or Dead Man's Trail, they'd best be reevaluating their perceptions before taking on Feather Fury. Of course, the studio has a bunch of, let's say, 'simpler' games in its collection, but few are as simple as Feather Fury, which is a sort of modern fruit slot with a twist. So much so that the basicness is either the game's greatest strength or its most glaring weakness. Whatever the final judgement might be, Feather Fury is unique enough to plough through a few spins to work out which side of the fence a potential customer may be on.

It might take more than a few spins, though, since you need 10 consecutive losses to experience Feather Fury's Multiplier Respins feature. Not the easiest thing in the world to achieve but it happened every so often, much to the detriment of the rooster fellow who gets more and more beaten as the meter progresses. On a side note, it is pretty funny, in a way, battling through 10 consecutive losing spins, only to get 3 aubergines and a 2x payout on the first respin. Talk about anti-climactic, even a tad demoralising. If you need motivation to keep punching on, then know that Feather Fury's win cap is a hearty 5,000x the bet, which, as you might imagine, would likely require a substantial number of losing spins to be in the position of achieving.

Does the game offer enough of a hook to keep players punching through the hard times? Debatable. There simply isn't a lot here to really sink your teeth into, especially for gamblers partial to Relax Gaming's more elaborate work, but Feather Fury is definitely unique enough to warrant investigation.
