Tails of New York Introduction
Tails of New York is a 5 reel, 40 payline pokie from Saucify. In this play on words game, you’ll need to help out Buddy the dog as he makes his way around New York looking for his friends. This game is just one of the many free online pokies available at Online Pokies 4U, available to play for free or for real money, if you’re feeling like a lucky dog.
How to Play
The first thing to do is select which of the 40 paylines you want to play and how much you want to stake. Click on the ‘lines’ button to see where the lines run. You can see which lines you’re playing at any time by checking the traffic light to the right of the reels. Once you’ve got your payline and budget arranged, just hit spin to get started on your adventure through The Big Apple.
The Symbols and Winning
The themed symbols in Tails of New York are the ones that offer the biggest pay outs. You’re looking for consecutive 2, 3, 4 or 5 of a kind across any of your selected paylines to win the cash prizes. The top paying symbols are Buddy, the black and white dog, Gordan, the cigar smoking bulldog and Chow, the pipe smoking cat. Land on 5 Buddys to get 7,000x your stake, 5 Gordans equals 2,000x your stake and 5 Chows gives you 1,500x your stake.
All the other symbols in the game will need at least a 3 of a kind to see any prizes. For the wild in Tails of New York, the makers have done something a little bit different. Completely at random, Buddy will appear on the right hand side of the reels and take a picture with his old-style camera. The flash turns one symbol wild, and only then will players know if they have made a combination.
It’s also nice that this only happens when there isn’t an existing win on the reels, so players don’t need to worry about losing out when the game pays out for just the highest win. And Buddy is a busy guy, too, as he’s also the scatter symbol. There are 2 scatter bonuses in this game. Firstly, there’s the free spins round to get into.
This is triggered whenever the fox driving a taxi shows up three or more times. Next there’s the special. If Chow the cat’s van lands three times on the reels, players will get into the ‘Chow’s Run’ feature. Chow’s Run has Chow unloading various dodgy items from the back of his van, including a painting, a vase and a tiara. Players just need to take a picture of the items to uncover their prize.
Overall
This is a well-animated, top-drawn pokie with a real wag in its tail. With loads of New York character and great sound effects, you’ll find it very atmospheric. But more than that, the different bonus features and Chow’s Run make this a genuinely fun game to play. So hail a taxi, jump in and don’t forget your take-out coffee!
