Birds and Blooms

Simple paintings are easy to appreciate.

As it turns out, the same can be said about simple slot games! Birds and Blooms by Genesis Gaming is a game that doesn’t…

…insist on being overly detailed in terms of graphics. Instead, the team behind this release went with something slightly different!

If you’re a fan of arts, especially the simpler kind, chances are that you’ll appreciate this game.

Theme Design

There are many slots games out there that feature artsy themes. Online casinos around the world are full of them. However, not many of them…

…allow you to actually see the brush strokes as this one does.

The theme is very basic, simple and to the point. Background image features a white canvas decorated with painted blades of grass.

Again, it’s the simplicity of everything that really ties the whole game together. The sound design takes it even further by adding a relaxing soundtrack reminiscent of the Far East.

Symbol Design

Much like the background itself, the symbols also feature that artistic design. They sit in wooden reels, which make the whole thing look like a framed painting. Symbols come in two…

…tiers – the lower tier that is comprised of card royals and the higher paying tier that features all kinds of birds. All of the symbols look as if they were painted…

…with a brush, including the lower-tier ones.

The only symbolsthat break this immersion are the Scatter and Wild. Former depicts a small birdhouse while the latter features a birdcage with a bird sitting on the outside.

Betting Options and Functions

Birds and Blooms is a 5x4 grid slot gamethat runs on 88 adjustable paylines, allowing players to win a total of 1,000x the original stake.

Starting bet can range from 0.01 to 10,00 while the game also features one of the higher estimated RTP’s at 97%.

The UI design has nothing to do with the theme, which is a slight let down since it breaks the immersion quality of the slot. However, it does make everything...

…that much more intuitive.

All of the controls are located at the very bottom of the screen, with the Bet and Payline adjustment buttons on the far right side. The center of the screen…

…is where you’ll see your current balance and your last win. Right next to it are the Turbo Button, the Sound button a Paytable button. Even further to the right, you’ll see the Auto Spin and Spin buttons.

Special Features

Being a relatively conservative slot means that this Genesis Gaming release comes with a rather limited set of special features.

To be more exact, aside from the scatter and wild functions, there is only one actual special feature – the Birds and Blooms Bonus Spins.

Activated by drawing 3 or more scatter symbols, Birds and Blooms Bonus Spins awards players with 10 extra spins. Once the mode is activated, any wild that lands on the reels…

…will automatically turn into a locking wild. This mode can’t be retriggered. Truth be told, if they added some kind of a jackpot feature, it would complete the game nicely.

Our Take

Birds and Blooms is a simple slot that brings a pretty refined gaming experience. It’s high RTP makes it fairly attractive even if you’re a sucker for…

…complex special features. Overall, it’s a great game.
