Finn and the Swirly Spin

Finn and the Swirly Spin is one of NetEnt's more inventive slots, and it has kept a steady following among Canadian players since it launched in 2017. The star is Finn, a cheerful Irish leprechaun chasing his pot of gold, with the whole game dressed in bright green Celtic style. What makes it stand out is the grid: instead of spinning reels and fixed paylines, symbols travel inward along a spiral, giving the action a fresh, puzzle-like feel.

How Finn and the Swirly Spin plays

The game runs on a 5x5 grid rather than traditional reels and lines. Symbols enter from the outside and spiral toward the centre, and a win forms whenever three or more matching symbols line up horizontally or vertically. Winning symbols are cleared and the rest shuffle along the spiral to fill the gaps, so one spin can chain into several wins. A StarSpin Wild appears in the top-left corner and moves one step along the spiral with each spin, substituting for other symbols until it reaches the centre and leaves the grid. A Free Spins Key turns up in the bottom-left corner, and clearing symbols to guide it to the middle unlocks the free spins. Four random features can also fire in the base game: Starfall Wilds, Dragon Destroy, Irish Luck and Magic Transform. The free spins arrive in four escalating rounds, Star Bar, Lava Lair, Lucky Mug and Golden Pot, each unlocked by collecting more keys and each tied to one of those features.

Finn and the Swirly Spin RTP, volatility and max win

NetEnt lists the RTP at 96.62 percent, slightly above the studio average. This is a low to medium volatility slot with a hit frequency of around 22 percent, so wins come often through the chaining spiral, while the larger payouts arrive from the free spins rather than the base game. The maximum win is capped at 300 times your stake, a modest ceiling rather than a big jackpot, which fits the game's steady design and keeps it comfortable when you are betting smaller amounts in Canadian dollars.

The frequent small wins and 96.62 percent RTP suit players who prefer a longer, calmer session, while the escalating features give you something to build toward.
