Welcome the cute and colourful farm, the home of the Wild Farmer and his lovely animals. Barnyard Bonanza is Ainsworth’s five-reel slot with 20 fixed paylines that offers a rewarding Free Games feature, where you get to pick from five different options, all offering a different number of freebies and different stacked symbols. Playable from $0.20 per spin, the Ainsworth title looks nice and can make you fall in love with all the farm animals you will have the chance to meet during your stay in the countryside. Just look for the Chicken Scatter in order to trigger Free Games.
Time to meet the entire crew! Your lovely host will be the Farmer, who is driving his tractor all the time, represents the Wild that substitutes for all regular symbols. The smiling Chicken is the Scatter that triggers the Free Games feature. The Cow is leading the pack of domestic animals that inhabit this farm. The Horse is next to her, and also you will meet the Pig, Scarecrow and the Barn. Rest of the symbols are represented by playing cards, cleverly made out of crops that grow on this amazing-looking farm.
Even though some say that life on the farm can be difficult, you have to trust us when we say that it’s very easy to do things on this particular farm, because Ainsworth made sure that the rules of the game are as easy as possible. The 2016 release offers five reels, three rows and benefits from 20 paylines, which pay left to right, beginning from the far left reel. Three of a kind is the minimum for landing payouts. The betting range is pretty wide, probably to meet the demands of both penny punters and high rollers. The lowest you can bet is $0.20 and the biggest wager can go all the way up to $2,000.
Land three or more Chicken Scatters on the reels and you will trigger the Free Games feature. There will be five options on the offer, and you have to choose one of them. Pick the Cow and get 10 freebies with stacked Cow symbols on all reels. The Horse will secure you 11 free spins with stacked Horse symbols. Pig comes with 12 free spins and stacked Pig symbols. Scarecrow will secure you 13 freebies with stacked Scarecrows on all reels, while the Barn offers 14 free spins with stacked Barn symbols. If you choose the symbol that pays bigger, you get fewer freebies and vice versa. Land three Egg Scatters during the feature and get 1, 2 or 3 extra freebies and up to 5 times the bet.
Apart from triggering freebies, the Chicken Scatter is also the symbol that pays the most, offering 50 times the bet for five of a kind. Other symbols don’t pay as much, for example, five Wild Farmers on a payline will get you 6,26 times the bet, while the Cow offers 4 times the bet for the maximum combination. Thanks to stacked symbols, the Free Games feature can produce plenty of rewarding payouts. Barnyard Bonanza’s RTP is 93%.
Being huge fans of the countryside ourselves, we love the theme of the game. The Ainsworth product houses crisp graphics and a fitting soundtrack, and it also offers a rewarding Free Games feature, with five different free spins options. However, due to the fact that it takes time to get all Chicken Scatters on the reels, the slot can be monotonous from time to time, so an additional Bonus game could have been a neat addition. The 2016 release is definitely worth a try, so gather your farming equipment and try out Barnyard Bonanza.
