Foxes get a bit of a bad rap don’t they? I mean, according to the information available online they’re actually quite a docile animal, avoiding confrontation unless provoked or threatened. They’re also very loyal, and let’s face it – pretty cute. They more or less just look like dogs, with more pointed ears and noses. The one place you don’t want to find a fox though is on a farm, and it seems Stakelogic are aware of this, as they follow on from their success in Spartans vs Zombies and Treasures of Ra to take us to this picturesque location for the day. Unfortunately for the fox, this means they now have gluttony to add to their list of accusations, as the team at Stakelogic have titled this release Greedy Fox. With RTP options up to 96.01%, this highly (5/5) volatile release comes with win potential up to 10,000x bet.
Like I said, we’re on a farm in Greedy Fox, which often proves to be a nice location to look at. In the background are green fields and clear blue skies, with a red barn sitting to the left of the reels. Bright yellow sunflowers sit to the front, behind a cute white picket fence, whilst the rest of the screen is taken over by a wooden shed to house the reels. A tree hangs down over the top, with what looks to be apples hanging from the branches amongst the leaves. An almost jazzy soundtrack comes in to tie it all together – a strange choice, but still nice to listen to.
Greedy Fox Base Features
Taking place across 5 reels, wins are formed on Greedy Fox by matching at least 3 symbols on adjacent reels, beginning with the leftmost reel, across 1 of 20 fixed win lines. Symbols available begin with non premiums, with 10s, Js, Qs, Ks, and As, awarding wins of 0.25x bet for 3 of a kind wins, increasing to values between 5 and 7.50x bet for 5 of a kind matches. At the premium end, we have four typically farmyard animals styled to look almost human, with chicken, cows, horses, and bulldogs. Land 3 of a kind of any premium to see wins between 0.50 and 1.25x bet, increasing to values between 12.50 and 25x bet for 5 of a kind matches.
There are a few things to cover in Greedy Fox, beginning with the Super Stake option. By doubling the bet, players can increase their chance of triggering Free Spins, and also double the value of any Egg Scatter symbols, which we’ll explain soon.
Next is the Wild Greedy Fox symbol. When the Wild Greedy Fox symbol lands in view, it will expand to cover the entire reel, making a Wild Reel. Wild Greedy Fox symbols substitute for all symbols except Egg Scatter symbols. After expanding, the Wild Greedy Fox symbol will collect the value of any Egg Scatter symbols in view, awarding these collected values alongside any regular win values.
Greedy Fox Bonus
Land 5 or more Egg Scatter symbols in view to trigger 10 Free Spins. During Free Spins, the Wild Greedy Fox symbol continues to expand to cover the entire reel it has landed upon, collecting the value of all Egg Scatter symbols in view. However, there is now a new Bonus Win symbol with a golden chicken, available only in Free Spins. The value of this symbol is the total value of all triggering Egg Scatter symbols. Each time this symbol lands in Free Spins, its value is awarded – whether there is a Wild Greedy Fox symbol in view or not.
It is also possible to land a Multiplier Egg Scatter symbol, which is a golden egg with an ‘x’ written on it. Each time a Multiplier Egg Scatter symbol lands in view, the global win multiplier is increased by +1. This global multiplier starts at x1 at the beginning of Free Spins, and is applied to the total win of each spin.
Players in appropriate regions can take advantage of the following Buy Bonus options:
- 10 Free Spins – 100x bet
- 10 Free Spins (1 Wild Greedy Fox symbol every spin) – 200x bet
- 10 Free Spins (1 Wild Greedy Fox symbol and 1 Bonus Win symbol every spin) – 500x bet
- Random (trigger any of the first 3 options) – 170x bet
The maximum win available in Greedy Fox is 10,000x bet. If the sum of a single game round exceeds this, the game round will end and 10,000x bet will be awarded.
First Impression
Sometimes the simple releases are the best, and Greedy Fox is a great example of how taking one element and choosing to enhance it can create an entertaining experience. There’s nothing too complicated here, from theme to mechanics, which is a nice breath of fresh air at a time where a lot of releases tend to require a lot of concentration, and focus on the darker side of life.
Wild Greedy Fox symbols help to keep things moving forward by collecting Egg Scatter symbol values – and remember that Super Stake doubles the value of these. With these symbols required to trigger Free Spins, and their combined value becoming the Bonus Win symbol, this is one release where an obvious improvement is made with an extra bet. These Bonus Win symbols and Multiplier Egg Scatter symbols work alongside Greedy Fox symbols to heighten the excitement in Free Spins – wherein wins are possible up to 10,000x bet.
Finally, maths is highly (5/5) volatile, and RTP options are available up to 96.01%, so as always it’s worth checking this. If you’re looking for a release that feels like a lighter experience, whilst still offering huge wins, Greedy Fox could be the one for you.
