Birds on a Wire

Birds on a Wire is a five-reeler from Thunderkick, featuring superb gameplay and an imaginative visual format. Instead of offering you three lines of symbols as you’d get on a typical online slot, here you’re given three telephone lines each with five colourful birds sitting on it. Land a win and the birds that sit on the valid payline are subjected to an electric shock from the wire. They then vanish in a nuclear-style flash, leaving just a few feathers floating behind. Birds from above - known as Dropping Symbols - then drop into their place for potential extra wins.
