Play Barnyard Bonanza for Free

Getting to grips with farming is easy here with the paytable accessible from the top of the screen, the line bet alterable at the bottom and the spin button ready to press to begin your farming fun. First, you need to decide on your bet. Simply click the plus and minus buttons to move up and down the coin values from €0.01 up to €10. You can also change your number of paylines by clicking the ‘bet one’ button shaped like a hay bale to move from a minimum of 1 payline to a maximum of 20 paylines. There is a ‘bet max’ button too, shaped like another hay bale, which you can select to easily bet the maximum amount per spin.

The cheery theme of the slot game transports players to the open vegetable fields of a farm with the yellow colour scheme suggesting happy sunshine. In the background a small farmhouse, a white picket fence, a few trees and hay bales along with fluffy white clouds all add to the atmosphere of simple farm living. The reels are filled with farm animals, farming implements and veggies, although we were quite surprised that the veggies farmed here are sweetcorn and aubergines rather than potatoes and carrots!

The payouts in Barnyard Bonanza are reasonable with the tractor awarding the highest payout of 1,000x your bet for 5 symbols at once on the reels. The pink cartoon pig is the second best symbols to look out for paying a porky 500x your bet for 5 symbols. Next up is the green watering can with 400x your bet available for 5 symbols together, while the sweetcorn awards 300x your bet and the aubergine pays 200x your bet for 5 symbols.

The lowest paying symbols are the high cards, which pay from 80x your bet for the Jack up to 150x your bet for the Ace.

The black bull with the ring through its nose is the wild symbol in this game. This stands in for all the other symbols except the scatter to create more potential winning combinations.

The scarecrow symbol is the main scatter appearing on reels 2, 3 and 4. If you spin at least 3 of these colourful characters you launch the free spins round. You have to pick one of the scarecrows to reveal the number of free spins you have won.

During this round, the scarecrows lock into place and become wild for the duration of the free spins to create many more potential wins. Plus, there is an extra symbol to look out for during the free spins round as the barn appears to give another scatter award. If you spin 3, 4 or 5 scattered barns anywhere on the reels during this free spins round you get an extra win of up to 100x your bet.

There are an impressive 3 bonus games in Barnyard Bonanza, any of which can be triggered by landing 3 bonus symbols on the reels during regular gameplay. You get to choose which bonus game you will play by clicking on which farm you want to visit from the chicken farm, the sheep farm and the cow farm.

At the chicken farm, you can crack the hens’ eggs to reveal your rewards – just take care to avoid the bad egg! At the sheep farm you can pick a sheepdog to guide the sheep into their pen, where you can shear them for your rewards – but watch out for the wolf in sheep’s clothing! Finally, you have the chance to milk Daisy and friends at the cow farm – the more milk bottles out of the maximum 11 you can fill, the better your bonus.

Barnyard Bonanza is filled with fun and features so this is a game most players will thoroughly enjoy. The country music and carefree vibe give the game a great atmosphere, while the 3 bonus games add lots of entertainment and some real player choice. The optional number of paylines and betting range make this a highly versatile game that will suit most pockets, and the decent payouts keep your bank balance ticking over.

There is a lot going on at the farmyard and this cheerful cartoon slot will keep players returning again and again for more cracks at pulling in a bumper harvest!
