Red Phoenix and the Top Bird Slots to Play at Online Casinos

Some animals naturally suggest a certain human emotion or range of characteristics.

For instance, bulls symbolize strength and pigs symbolize greed—but the human characteristic or trait birds most strongly represent—to me, anyway—is human nature’s goofy, awkward, and comical side.

You may fancy the eagle or the hawk; I like the pelican, the penguin, and the gooney bird. And the online slot development community seems to share my take on birds.

Scores of bird slots fill just about every online casino inventory, many created with more humor and inventiveness than what even the most discerning slot players hope to find.

With that in mind, I’ve surveyed all the best real money online slots and found what I consider the top five most creative and humorous bird slots online. Enjoy!

My pick for the best bird slot online, this cleverly designed game from BetSoft features a novel approach to the whole reels and rows thing.

The titular animals fly in from the left and land on three power lines, five per line. If they form any winning clusters, the win is first tallied, and then the birds involved in the win fly off to the right.

Any birds on the power line above a newly vacated spot hop down, and then new birds fly in from the left to fill any vacancies. New wins are tallied, and the process of fly-away-and-replace repeats until no recent wins are present.

The regular symbols are all birds—a yellow-crested white bird, a red bird, an orange bird, a yellow bird, a green bird, a purple bird, a pink bird, a blue bird, a brown bird, and a small white bird.

The one special symbol is a bird of multiple colors (the wild). Incidentally, a win meter at the bottom of the play screen counts successive wins, and when it fills (with four wins), free spins are triggered.

It’s theoretically possible to get infinite free spins since this free spin feature can trigger more free spins. That alone should earn Birds! an honored place on every player’s top bird-themed slots list.

Diving deeper into the best bird slots online, from the comics to American Indian mythology, we have the 5×3 Thunderbird from Rival Games.

Regular symbols include a wooden snake, a painted shield, ceremonial feathers, a pine sprig with two cones, a ceremonial drum, a hat, a bear mask, and the ten through ace.

The special symbols are a thunderbird totem (wild) and a fish totem (scatter). Three or more fish totems trigger up to 50 free spins, depending on the number of them that appear during any regular spin.

The Thunderbird totem wild also serves as a 2x multiplier on wins, and when it appears during free spins, it will expand to fill the entire reel whenever possible to create a new winning pay line.

Additionally, a special gold version of the fish totem can trigger Super Rounds during free spins. It takes three or more goldfish totems to trigger five super rounds. These Super Rounds are in addition to the free spins.

Red Phoenix is one of the newer bird casino slots, an addition to Light & Wonder’s Jewel of the Dragon series of slot machines.

Light & Wonder (formerly Scientific Games Corporation) throws ALL the great features into this Asian game: multiple jackpots, hot-drops, hold & spin feature… you get the point.

The red phoenix, a towering pagoda, an open scroll, a bowl of coins, and the nine through the ace are regular symbols.

Other special icons are a diamond containing either a multiplier from 1x to 200x or the mini or minor jackpot symbol and a gold hexagonal medallion that also contains either a multiplier from 1x to 200x or the mini, minor, or major jackpot symbols.

This game has four jackpots: Grand, Major, Minor, and Mini. They are all tied to the wagered amount—the more you wager per spin, the larger each jackpot is.

While the smaller jackpots may be won during any hold & spin feature, the Major and the Grand jackpots are awarded randomly after any regular spin that does not trigger the hold & spin feature.

Cartoonish is probably the first word to come to mind when you open this 5×3 slot from RTG. But cartoonish in a good way, as only bird slot games can do.

You see, these are not angry birds, no,. And I don’t mean those Angry Birds. They go beyond anger and even outrage. Laugh at your own peril—these are not happy birds.

They are, as advertised, Birds of Fury.

The regular symbols are mostly birds at varying levels of pique. A red bird is holding a fork and wearing a frying pan for a hat, a toucan carrying a saw, a bomb-tossing bluebird, and a green bird recently hatched from his egg and looking pretty cheesed off about it, too.

Special symbols are the dynamite-totin’ yellow bird (wild) and the “Birds of Fury” placard (scatter). Three or more scatters trigger ten free spins and apply a 2x multiplier to all free spin wins.

Any spin can randomly trigger the Birds of Fury Wilds, at which point all scatters on the screen turn into wilds. This can happen a maximum of three times, with wins being tallied prior to triggering the next Wilds feature.

There’s also a Birds of Fury pick feature, which occurs randomly after any regular spin. It consists of the player being offered a choice of three nesting eggs. Picking one will reveal a price, award it, and return to regular play.

Bird slot machines are so popular that you’ll find them at many of the top online casinos.

Despite its unassuming title screen, this is one of the best bird slot machines online.

The American frontier is represented well in the regular symbols on the reels: a white stallion, a grizzly bear, a buffalo, and a coyote (which looks more like a dingo than a coyote).

There is also the jack through the ace to round out the bottom of the pay table.

Special icons include the American Bald Eagle (wild) and a rocky hillside–the free spins scatters on reels 1, 3, and/or 5 trigger 5 free spins–which can be retriggered with another three scatters. Reels 2, 3, and 4 become a Megablock during free spins.

If you do that, your counter is reset to three spins. This continues as long as you get at least one new money symbol. You are awarded the sum of all the resulting money symbols.

And yes, you may weep tears of joy if you must.

Among the amounts you can win during the “money game” are the mini, major, and mega jackpots, the value of each determined by how much you wager. What more can you ask from bird slot games?
