Aiko and the Wind Spirit is a stunning new slot from Hacksaw Gaming, featuring a 5x4 grid, 14 fixed paylines, and a top prize of 10,000x your bet.
This eye-catching game transports players to a uniquely magical world brought to life through vivid visuals and rich sound. Follow a young girl named Aiko and her adorable cat Mishu as they embark on an adventure, guided by the mysterious wind spirits.
Visually, this is one of the most original and enchanting slots we have seen in some time. With its colourful anime-inspired graphics, cute characters, and slick animation, it appears to be an earnest homage to the films of Studio Ghibli.
But there is much more to the Aiko and the Wind Spirit upcoming game than its incredible design: you can trigger multiple bonuses while you play, bringing you free spins, expanded Wild symbols, and enhanced wins.
Magical Bonus Features in the New Aiko and the Wind Spirit Game
Expanded Wild Spirits
If one of the charming Spirit symbols appears on the grid, it will expand vertically to become a Wild Spirit (but only if that will create a winning combination). Expanding Wild Spirit symbols carry multipliers of 2x - 100x, which are applied to any wins they help build.
Zephyr Crest Symbols
If a Zephyr Crest and Wild Spirit symbol land at the same time, the Zephyr Crest symbol expands all Spirit symbols on the grid (whether they are part of a winning combination or not).
The Zephyr Crest symbol nudges each Wild Spirit symbol to the left (by one reel), triggers a Respin, and applies a Multiplier value to all visible Wild Spirits.
Spirited Spins
When playing the Aiko and the Wind Spirit game, land three FS Scatters to trigger the Spirited Spins feature. As well as awarding 10 free spins, this also increases the chance that Spirit and Zephyr Crest symbols will land.
Whispering Winds
Match 4 FS Scatters to win 10 free spins in the Whispering Winds feature. This is largely the same as Spirited Spins, but with one main difference: a Memory sits above each reel. Every Memory has a multiplying value starting at 0x.
When a Wild Spirit lands with a Memory value of 0x, it reveals a Multiplier — this is applied to the win created, then stored in the Memory for the following spin. When a new Wild Spirit hits on a reel with a Memory value of 2x or above, its Multiplier is added to the Memory’s stored Multiplier to make a total Multiplier. This applies to all subsequent wins achieved on that reel during the feature.
Midnight Magic (Hidden Epic Bonus)
Land 5 FS Scatters to trigger the Midnight Magic Hidden Epic Bonus. This works in the same way as Whispering Winds, but each spin guarantees two or more Wild Spirits.
If you land two or three FS symbols during these three features, you will win two or four extra free spins, respectively.
