Dead Canary xBomb Slot Review

Dead Canary xBomb Slot Overview

Dead Canary xBomb is a new casino slot from Nolimit City in which we get to enjoy a fond reunion with the angry dwarf. After two successful expeditions in the slots Fire In The Hole xBomb and Misery Mining xBomb, he is now in search of true love. As the name suggests, this time he's enlisting the help of a canary bird, something most miners have used in the past. The miner kept a canary bird in a small cage when visiting unexplored caves, to detect carbon monoxide. As these small birds have a high metabolism and rapid breathing rate, they were perfect to use so the miner had time to take action if the canary passed out.

What features are available in the slot Dead Canary xBomb?

The features are Reel Area, Wild Mining, Scatter, xBomb Wild Multiplier, xBet, Canary Free Spins, Happy Wife, Happy Life and Bonus Buy.

Reel Area

You start the spins with a 3-3-2-2-1-1-reel setup, where the blocked barriers can be unlocked by creating wins, wild mining feature or xBomb explosions adjacent to the barrier. You will have multipliers at the bottom of the reels where you can take advantage of these by removing their barriers and destroying the symbol, or that a scatter symbol is being revealed.

Wild Mining

When you have 3, 4 or 5 of the same symbol type aligned diagonally and no win is generated, the Wild Mining feature is activated. These triggering symbols will then be removed and create a wild symbol in the middle positions of the alignment. Depending on whether there were 3, 4 or 5 symbols, 1, 2 or 3 wild bombs are created respectively.

The win multiplier will increase by 1X for the upcoming collapse when a wild bomb explodes. All symbols except the xBomb will explode and if a scatter symbol disappears, it will reappear on the next collapse. The wild symbol helps to enable more winning combinations by substituting for other paying symbols.

Scatter

You can land the scatter symbol in any position, but it will not become active until any barrier is removed that covers it. These scatter symbols remain in their positions during the bonus game, unless they land within a vault position. Then they will be moved to an available space towards the center. You can land canary scatter symbols with either a silver cage or a gold cage.

xBomb Wild Multiplier

An xBomb symbol will explode in a cross pattern, where all symbols except other xBombs and scatter symbols will be removed. This will then increase the win multiplier by 1X for the upcoming collapse. This symbol helps to create more winning combinations by substituting for other symbols except scatter symbols. Before a collapse occurs, the xBombs will always explode first.

xBet

You can take advantage of the xBet by paying 40% extra of your bet size, which then guarantees that you will land a scatter symbol and that the first barrier is unlocked. The xBet feature does not affect the symbol payouts, and the RTP is 96.33% when xBet is activated.

Canary Free Spins

If you land 3 scatter symbols, the Canary Free Spins feature is activated. You will then be moved to a new location where there is a 4-3-4-3-4-3-4-reel setup, where the four corner vaults are locked. These locked vaults will collect coins and multipliers from the three adjacent positions, where these can be opened up using xBomb explosions. When you unlock a vault, its value will be paid out at the end of the bonus game. You will start with 3 free spins and the xBombs will then reset them to 3.

You can as mentioned land silver cage and gold cage scatter symbols, where they start with a 1X multiplier and can collect coins, multipliers, upgrades, rat and dwarf enhancers. The silver scatter symbol collects in a x pattern 1 position from itself, while the gold scatter symbol collects in a x pattern from the entire rows. These scatter symbols will start with 3 lives, where collected wins only are paid out if the bird dies. You lose a life through gas and xBombs, where it then respawns in its cage when it dies. The different enhancer symbols you can land are and do the following:

Coin Values = These can land with values ranging from 1X to 100X, where their value gets added to the scatter symbol collected it.

Bomb = This symbol will remove 1 life from the scatter symbols and open up vaults. It resets the number of spins to 3 and it explodes into an x-pattern.

Multipliers = This can either double or triple the collected value of the vaults and scatters.

Gas = All birds adjacent to the gas will lose 1 life.

Dwarf = This symbol can be collected by 1 scatter symbol, where it turns into a persistent collector and collects values from the other scatters on every spin until it dies. It will collect in the pattern of the bird it was transformed from and it will add 1 life to the affected scatter symbol. When it dies, a bird will respawn in its cage.

Rat = This can be collected by 1 scatter symbol, where it turns into a persistent payer and shares its collected value with other scatter symbols on each spin until it dies. It will add 1 life to the affected scatter symbol and when it dies, a bird will respawn in its cage. It will collect in the pattern of the bird it transformed from.

Vault = The vault is locked from the start and can be unlocked using xBomb explosions. When you unlock a vault, its collected value will be awarded to you at the end of the bonus game.

Upgrade = This will upgrade the silver cage scatter symbols to become gold cage scatter symbols. It will also add 1 life to the affected scatter symbols.

Happy Wife, Happy Life

When the game's maximum win of 65000X the bet is reached, the winning screen Happy Wife, Happy Life will be activated. Then the miner will appear together with the beautiful woman he met.

Bonus Buy

68X = You land 3 silver cage scatter symbols and activate the Canary Free Spins feature. The RTP is 96.30%.

Dead Canary xBomb Slot Conclusion

This dwarf once again invites us to an adrenaline-packed gaming adventure, where a gigantic potential maximum win of 65000X can be scooped up during the visit. That's a level that's in the middle of what the previous Fire In The Hole xBomb(60000X) and Misery Mining xBomb(70000X) had which is clearly within an excellent size. As usual in creations from this game provider, there is an extremely high volatility, and the balance can thus vary greatly in size during the spins. The game has been created with a rather special reel setup and it clearly takes a while to grasp its structure, which together with the collapse provides a remarkable sight from time to time.

The game is similar to previous versions where the xBomb once again plays a major role in the creation of bigger wins, but within this version it is the Dwarf, Rat and especially the Canary birds that are responsible for the main action. The placement and color of these Canary birds are often very important in determining the outcome. The giving of life to the various symbols interacts in a smooth way, making the whole experience extra thrilling, but unlike in real life, the Canary birds will be able to respawn like a phoenix bird in this version.

Like people who promptly insist not to read manuals when building furniture, you also will be able to grasp the game on your own eventually, but it's highly recommended to read through this review to get a better overview and preparation for the visit. That said, it is a lovely sequel within this mining series, where the angry dwarf now can be stated to be a happy dwarf after meeting his woman. The question however is how long he remains happy and can live in peace, as the Canary birds could be plotting a revenge for their fallen members. It remains to be seen...

Dead Canary xBomb is a slot where the dwarf takes help from Canary birds to look for big wins and his future wife.
