Rich Little Hens Founding Feathers Review

Light & Wonder’s Rich Little Hens Founding Feathers has got mystery symbols and 3 free spins rounds. On top of that, there are 6 different jackpots up for grabs. Hit the Mega and you’ll instantly win 12,500x the stake! Maybe it is time to count one’s chickens.

Gameplay & Features

The game’s 5x3 grid has 25 paylines. To win, players need to land matching symbols along them, starting from the leftmost reel. A 5-of-a-kind consisting of the 10 to Ace or quill symbols is worth 0.6x the stake. Hit a 5-of-a-kind made up of the more valuable chicken or bell symbols and you can win up to 2x the stake.

Wilds substitute for all pay symbols. Mystery symbols can reveal wilds or a pay symbol. They can also reveal a red, white or blue token, which can potentially trigger 1 of 3 free spins rounds and its respective function.

Free Spins and Jackpots

If a red token lands but fails to trigger Free Spins, it will add an extra free spin to the Red Chicken meter, which relates to the number of free spins you’ll start off with if and when you do trigger the round via a red token. That meter can get all the way up to 100!

Similarly, landing a white token may or may not trigger Free Spins. If you’re unsuccessful, between 0.25x and 6.75x of your bet can be added to the Major, Maxi, Minor or Mini jackpot meter. If, however, Free Spins is triggered, you’ll start off with 7 free spins, regardless of what the Red chicken meter says. 

During the round, mystery symbols fall and potentially reveal tokens corresponding to the 6 different jackpots. Collect enough tokens and you’ll win that jackpot. The Mini and Minor jackpots are worth 2.5x and 7.5x the stake respectively. They both require just 2 tokens to trigger. The Maxi requires 3 and is worth 10x. The Major requires 4 and is worth 17.5x. The Grand is worth 750x but you’ll need 5 of its tokens. Land 6 Mega tokens and you’ll win 12,500x the stake. 

More than 1 jackpot can be triggered, and the same jackpot can potentially be triggered more than once. Play continues until you’ve run out of free spins.

In the base game, if a blue token falls without triggering Free Spins, then that token can increase the Blue Wild Multiplier meter. Once a blue token does trigger Free Spins, all winning combos that feature a wild will have the corresponding multiplier range applied to it. All multipliers are worth between 0.5x and their displayed value. The displayed values can be 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x and 8x.

My Spins

Although the values of the standard winning combos are a little low, the mystery symbols and the potential free spins tokens therein seem to fall regularly. I also like how the free spins tokens still serve a purpose even if they don’t succeed in triggering free spins.

All 3 of the bonuses are unique and are plenty of fun to play. If you manage to build up the Free Spins meter, the Red Chicken bonus can be very fruitful. Whenever I played the White Chicken bonus, I’d usually hit at least 2 jackpots. Similar to the Red Chicken bonus, how much success you have in the Blue Bonus may depend on how much you’ve managed to increase the multiplier in the base game.

Red Chicken Free Spins

Landing a red token in the base game can trigger its corresponding free spins round, awarding the number of free spins displayed on its meter. If Free Spins doesn’t trigger, the meter may increase!

Blue Chicken Free Spins

If you land a blue token, you can trigger 7 free spins. Each Wild carries a multiplier of between 0.5x and the displayed maximum, which can be between 2x and 8x.

White Chicken Free Spins

A white token might give you the chance to win 6 different jackpots, worth between 2.5x and 12,500x! If not, it can increase the jackpot base figure by between 0.25x and 6.75x.

Win Potential

The max win is advertised as being 12,900x, which I imagine is mainly down to the Mega jackpot, as that alone is worth 12,500x. However, the value of the winning combinations in the base game is rather poultry - forgive the pun. The game’s volatility level is high, and it definitely felt that way for me. I experienced long periods of winning nothing or next to nothing, but Free Spins seemed to trigger quite frequently. The game’s RTP is 96%.

Design

The grid sits on top of a sea of golden eggs and above the grid, there are the 3 patriotic chickens, with their respective free spins meters underneath them. To the right of the screen, you can see the listed jackpots.

The audiovisuals on mobile are very much the same as they are on any other device. The game has a cartoonish style reminiscent of the Simpsons, so the graphics are quite basic.  Regarding the audio, the base game is a little odd, as there’s no music, just the tapping sounds of the reels clicking into place. You do, however, get treated to a rendition of Yankee Doodle if you trigger Free Spins.

Our Verdict

The base game is a little lacklustre, but the 3 different free spins rounds more than make up for it. Manage to trigger 1 of them and you could be on for some really big wins. That's about the long and the short of it for Rich Little Hens Founding Feathers!
