Free Spins
Three or more FS Scatters trigger the free spins bonus round, with one spin being awarded for each scatter. Another important factor about the free spins bonus round is that it comes with a higher probability of hitting the Stack’N’ Sync feature.
Eagle Link Bonus
Three Eagle Claw Scatters trigger the Eagle Link Bonus game. This game comes in two parts. First, you collect Eagles and Golden Eagle symbols. You start off with three spins, and each time you get a new Eagle or Golden Eagle it resets to three spins. After three consecutive spins without collecting a new symbol you move on to the payout phase.
During the payout phase, every Eagle that is adjacent to a Golden Eagle or an already linked Eagle gets linked together. You start off with three spins again, and each additional Gold Eagle that lands gives another free spin.
Stack N Sync
If you get an SNS symbol, this triggers the Stack N Sync sequence.
During the Stack N’ Sync sequence, up to four other reels are stacked with a symbol. A respin is then triggered, with the stacked reels synced to each other.
The golden S’N’S symbol guarantees all five reels will be stacked with a high value symbol, and awards a multiplier from anywhere between 2x to 100x on respins.
Buy Bonus
Another feature of this game is the buy bonus option, where you can either buy free spins and/or the eagle link bonus feature directly, or you can activate the a higher betting level to triple your chance of hitting a bonus round on every spin.
Nature Theme
Alpha Eagle is a nature themed slot with a focus on eagles. Eagles are a large predator bird found in the Americas and Australia. Eagles can also be considered apex predators, within their ecological niche, although their nests can get raided by some smaller animals.
Conclusion
We quite enjoyed playing Alpha Eagle. It has a really nice design, and there are a lot of different gameplay features to keep players engaged and interested. The theme is pretty nice, eagles are quite the majestic animal, and the background music is quite engaging. Overall a very well made slot.
