The theme
Straight out of a storm cloud and followed by bolts of mystical lightening comes Habanero's Bird of Thunder. Once the start-up page has loaded, you are taken to the main page surrounded by natural tones. The red and purple of the background sky looks over the dusky sunlight and creates a warm hue on the reels. At each side, you can see totem poles covered in mysterious faces.
The options board is also made of wood, continuing the native theme. Each of the special symbols is represented by an animal that would seem at home in the surroundings. A bear, deer, snake, owl and buffalo are all shown with strategically-placed paint on their faces that almost makes them look ready for a fight.
How to play
The options board along the bottom of the reels has everything you need to get started. You can change your bet amount by using the arrows at the sides, or you can go straight to high stakes by clicking the Bet Max button. You can bet between a minimum of 0.30 and 7,500 credits for each spin, enabling you to make the pokie last as long as you want.
There is also an autoplay options whereby you can set the reels to spin between 10 and 500 time automatically, only stopping if you have set a balance decrease or a single win limit.
Special features
This pokie includes the familiar wild symbols, which in this case are represented by the wild eagle. The appearance of the eagle will help you to win by substituting for other symbols, except the scatter, to create a winning combination. The scatter symbol appears as the totem bird and will offer you 10 free spins if you manage to get three or more on the reels.
There is also a progressive jackpot that can randomly award you a mini, minor, major or grand jackpot depending on how lucky you are. If a game of chance is your thing, you can choose to gamble your winnings from any winning spin by beating the dealer. If the card you choose is higher than the dealer’s you will double your money, so be careful which card you select.
