How Niagara Falls bonuses work

There are several bonus features available in Niagara Falls. Let's start with the traditional free spins bonus feature. When 3 Bonus symbols appear on reels 1, 3 and 5, the free spins bonus feature is triggered. 5 free spins are awarded. If a WILD appears in the reel below the grid, the corresponding reel turns into a WILD. Each WILD reel remains in place until the end of the free spins.

The Coin Drop feature is triggered when a gold coin lands on the fifth reel. It is then tossed from the top of the grid and falls along the reels, displaying certain symbols highlighted, until it reaches the bottom of the grid where an additional reel displays rewards among them:

• WILD : the highlighted symbols change to WILD.

• Free Spins : the free spins bonus function is triggered.

• Shake : a Cash Fall bonus is added to the counter.

• Stacked Spin : a respin is assigned with stacked symbols.

• Multiplier : a multiplier bonus between x2 and x5 is applied to winnings.

The reward on which the gold coin falls is obtained. If the gold coin lands on an empty spot, no reward is awarded.

The Cash Fall feature is triggered randomly during the game. Several gold coins are thrown from the top of the grid until they reach the bottom of the grid and land on a cash reward. A super coin may appear: it will multiply the possible winnings by 2.

Our opinion about Niagara Falls

With Niagara Falls, gaming provider Yggdrasil stays in the slot machine classic. Nothing transcendent here, neither in the theme nor in the graphics, but several original features that will allow you to pocket winnings regularly. Although this provider has got us used to slots with higher potential and non-conformist design, players may be a little disappointed by the lack of thrills and the lack of fantasy in Niagara Falls.
