Barn Festival is a captivating video slot game designed by Pragmatic Play, offering players an expansive playing field with a 6x5 reel setup and 20 distinct ways to secure a win. This game artfully combines rustic charm with the excitement of slot mechanics, making for an engaging gaming experience.
The game's symbols are a delightful mix of traditional card suits and farm-related imagery, each with varying payout potentials. At the lower end of the paytable, the familiar card suits - diamonds, clubs, hearts, and spades - are present, offering rewards ranging from 2 to 8 times the player's stake for collecting a cluster of 12. On the higher end, the game introduces a collection of farm produce as its premium symbols, including aubergines, corn, toadstools, oranges, and strawberries. These symbols significantly increase the payout potential, with 12 symbol scatter wins rewarding players with 10 to 50 times their bet.
A standout feature of Barn Festival is the tumble mechanic, which activates upon hitting a winning combination. This feature removes winning symbols from the board, allowing new symbols to cascade down and fill the vacant positions, potentially creating additional wins. This tumbling action continues uninterrupted until no further scatter wins are achieved, adding an extra layer of excitement and opportunity for players. The game also incorporates special money symbols that, when landing in groups of three during a tumble sequence, convert their values into win multipliers. These multipliers are then summed up and applied to the total win at the end of the tumble sequence, boosting the payout. If three money symbols appear at the beginning of a spin and no win results, their values are accumulated and stored. The game then triggers a respin feature, continuing until a win is secured, at which point the stored multiplier is applied, enhancing the player's winnings.
For those fortunate enough to land four or more money symbols, the Money Respin feature is activated. This bonus round shifts the action to a specialised 4x5 grid, with the initial money symbols locked in place. Players are then granted 3 respins, during which any new symbols that land are also locked, and the respin count is reset. This feature can lead to significant rewards and adds a thrilling dimension to the gameplay.
