The Founding Fathers signed the United States Declaration of Independence. The Founding Feathers are sitting on a pile of gold eggs, waiting for the worthy candidate who can take up to 12,900x the bet per spin.
So, you cannot have any of the golden eggs but you can pocket plenty of hefty payouts with the little help of the chooks appearing as regular symbols.
I guess that Light & Wonder heard that Kiwis cannot have roosters in residential areas without a permit. That’s why there are no cocks, only Hencocks, eh?
Hencock is the leading chick among the regular symbols. His faithful companion is the officer hen, who looks just like George Washington. Another chook from the group will remind you of Uncle Sam.
Next, you have a bell, ink and quill, and classic playing cards. The Wild is placed on a flag that is similar to the USA flag. Red, white, and blue coins have corn on them and act as Scatters. Finally, the Mystery Symbol can reveal any other icon but the Scatter.
Benjamin Franklin and his mates wrote the Declaration of Independence to be understood by everybody. Light & Wonder released Rich Little Hens: Founding Feathers to be easy to play. Even mere beginners will be spinning the reels like pros in no time at all.
The 2024 release is played on 5 reels, 3 rows, and 25 fixed paylines that pay left to right, starting from the far-left reel. 3-of-a-kind is the minimum for landing payouts. You can bet as low as $0.20 and as high as $32.
Rich Little Hens: Founding Feathers is of high volatility and comes with an RTP of 96.00%. The maximum payout is set at 12,900x per spin.
Coin Scatters appear on cells together with regular symbols, so you can expect plenty of them. Each has its specific colour and is eaten by the corresponding chook that sits on the reels. Depending on the colour of the Scatter, you can trigger 3 types of free spins.
Also, if you are lucky, you can trigger a combination of all 3 types. This can bring you a mind-blowing win. However, this does not happen that often. Another important extra to mention is the Mystery Symbol.
It can land on any spin, in the base game or during free spins. Usually, it lands in stacks. Once the reels stop, the Mystery Symbol reveals the same instance of a randomly chosen icon. It can reveal any symbol but the Scatter.
I had so much fun with the Mystery Symbol. It brought me so much joy and payouts. The biggest one in the base game was 60x.
This is how all free spins are triggered. When a Scatter appears on the reels, it is eaten by the chook of the corresponding colour. If the red chicken gets the Scatter, it will either increase the number of free spins on the meter below her or trigger the Regular Free Spins feature.
White Scatter is food for the white hen. This chook either increases the jackpot values or triggers the JP Free Spins feature. The blue chicken eats the blue Scatter. It either increases the value of the Wild Multiplier that will be active during the feature, or it triggers the Credit Wilds Free Spins feature.
You can trigger a combination of these features at once. This means that you can get loads of free spins, a Wild Multiplier, and a chance to pocket multiple jackpots. However, that does not happen that often.
When the red chicken triggers the feature, you get a number of free spins displayed beneath the red chicken. This feature cannot be retriggered. For example, I triggered 15 free spins and got around 250x in wins.
This feature comes with 7 free spins and cannot be retriggered. During the feature, you collect coins that land on the reels and fill the jackpot meter of the corresponding colour. If you get enough coins for a certain jackpot, you win it.
Multiple jackpots are available (Mini, Minor, Maxi, Major, Grand, and Mega). I got the Minor jackpot twice in a single round. Also, I won 1 Maxi Jackpot and 1 Major. Grand and Mega are almost impossible to trigger.
When the blue chook triggers the feature, all Wilds that appear will come with a multiplier, which can go up to 8x. The maximum multiplier for the round you trigger is determined by the number appearing below the blue hen on the triggering spin.
My biggest multiplier was 3x. Now, not all Wilds in that round come with the 3x multiplier. It can be lower than that. I didn’t like that fact. My biggest win here was 155x. On one occasion, I triggered the Credit Wilds Free Spins feature and the JP Free Spins together.
I got a 2x multiplier and several jackpots. My total win in that round was almost 300x.
My biggest problem with Rich Little Hens: Founding Feathers is that the pokie seems a bit slow. Sometimes, it takes reeks ages to stop, even with the turbo mode on.
Another thing that I was really hacked off with is the fact that I couldn’t trigger all three features together. I played the 2024 release for hours and the best I got was two extras at once.
Apart from that, I enjoyed testing the Light & Wonder product. My personal favourite is the Mystery Symbol. However, I know that you will also have plenty of fun with the 3 free spins options.
I rate Rich Little Hens: Founding Feathers 7.8.
