When it comes to slots, many people are very picky. Many like the simple, traditional ones, with only three reels and one payline; others prefer hi-tech, flashy slots with an abundance of features, cinematic effects, etc. This time, we’ve decided to present you neither – what this review is about is a rather ordinary five-reel slot, with regular features, but what really makes it stand out is its theme: North America’s nature theme, featuring its pride and joy - great eagles.

Hence the name:

“Eagle’s Wings.” This stunning world is just a click away, and in your favorite Microgaming casino you can now enjoy the flight of eagles, take a look at their young, climb the highest peaks, and on occasions it almost feels like you can take a breath of that fresh mountain air. It’s not only thanks to the graphics, which are of good quality, but it’s also about the sound effects, which complement the theme. However, this 25-line video slot is not without its charms in terms of features, which are standard: wilds, scatters, free spins and multipliers. It’s quite obvious that the creators of this slot didn’t want to rely on the attractiveness of features, but on the quality of slot itself, and that’s something worth appreciating.

“Eagle’s Wings” offer a decent range of bet amounts, although highrollers may feel a bit restricted, as the highest bet can reach $31.25. For everyone else, the range is quite decent – coin denominations go from $0.01 to $0.25, and the number of coins you may place per line is five. In exchange for this bet investment, you stand a chance at winning some nice prizes, especially if you get lucky enough to hit a couple of special features, which we will elaborate in the next section.

Special Features:

If you’re looking for an abundance of special features, movie effects and similar hi-tech stuff, then “Eagle’s Wings” may disappoint you a bit, because its approach to features is straightforward – there’s neither more nor less of them than in a majority of other similar games. Thereby, there are two special symbols: wild and scatter. Wild Eagle’s Wings symbol appears on all reels and is stacked, so it fantastically increases your winning odds. It substitutes for all other regular symbols, and when it appears in a winner, the prize will be doubled.

The scatter symbol also appears on all reels, but its role is different – three or more of them trigger a Lucky Eagle Bonus, in which you are prompted to choose up to three coins from a selection offered, revealing different numbers of free spins. It’s possible to win up to 60 free games, which can be retriggered, and during which all prizes will be tripled.

Once you start playing this game, it will attract you more and more. Its generosity, especially in the stacked wild symbol wins, may surprise you and make you want to come back to “Eagle’s Wings” more often than you initially expected. All in all, this slot is definitely worth trying.
