Tornado Slot Review

Tornado: Farm Escape is a 5 Reel, 20 Pay-line Video Slot from NetEnt. You can play Tornado: Farm Escape at online casinos such as Mr Green, ComeOn, Metro Play and Vera and John Casino.

The cute intro sequence gives you an idea of what this slot is about. Somewhere in the American Midwest, a farmer collects eggs and such from his tired animals. The animals reckon they need a holiday and they hear tell that tornados are on the way. With their bags packed, they say goodbye to the farmer and head off on an adventure! The symbols you can expect to see on the reels include farm animals such as The Cow, Horse, Pig, Sheep and Chicken, as well as lesser symbols such as Suitcase, Armchair, Radio, Boot and Stool. The best-paying reel symbol is the Cow, which is worth 700 coins for spinning 5 into an active pay-line. The Horse will be good for 500 coins for 5 matching symbols in an active pay-line, while the Pig will be worth 300 coins for 5 on a pay-line.

The Wild symbol does exactly what it says on the tin! It will substitute for all other symbols to create more wins.

Tornado: Farm Escape is slightly more innovative than the usual video slots, in that it does not have Scatters or Free Spins Rounds as you may have come to expect. However, there are a couple of Bonus Features in the game that make it a lot more interesting and well worth playing.

The Storm Feature is a randomly occurring event. At the start of a spin, a Storm Cloud will appear from the edge of the screen and it will turn random reel positions into Wild symbols, moving onto adjacent symbols and then doing the same. Up to 5 reel symbols can be changed in this way. The Storm will then disappear from the screen, hopefully leaving you with a lot of winning combinations.

The main Bonus Feature is the Tornado! This happens whenever you have a Warm Front symbol appearing on Reel 1 and a Cold Front symbol appearing on Reel 5. When this happens, make a note of what symbol is occupying the middle position on Reel 3. For example, if it is a Cow, the Tornado will then collect all Cows on screen and all Wilds, rewarding you with a coin bonus for each. The reels will then spin again and you will again be rewarded for all selected symbols and Wilds. This continues until you have a spin that does not contain a Wild or the Special symbol. You are then returned to the base game.

The more symbols you collect in the Tornado feature, the greater their value. For example, the reward for the first 4 Cows you collect is 30 coins per cow, but the next 4 Cows are worth 50 coins per cow. Therefore, the longer the feature last, the greater the rewards!

The Return to Player (RTP) for Tornado: Farm Escape is 96.5%, which is above average and very decent value for a video slot. The game is cute, very playable and the potential of great rewards from the bonus feature will keep players playing!
