How to Play Dead Canary 

If you’re feeling brave enough to join the dwarf and his birds in Dead Canary, you can log in to your Betano account and play. If you’re not registered, click Sign Up, make your first deposit, then head to our slot selection. 

Our angry friend will lead the way into the deep cave, where treasures await, but watch your step, it’s full of explosives and rats. Exploding wilds, multipliers and free spins will accompany you on this dark quest. 

You may decide to play with xBet in place, which guarantees a scatter symbol and unlocks the first barrier on the reels, but this will come at an extra 40% cost. 

Always remember to gamble responsibly. Our Safer Gambling Portal has plenty of helpful advice and resources.

Dead Canary Bonus Features 

Dead Canary, like many of Nolimit City’s slots, is packed with exciting features.  

To start with, part of the reels is blocked and can be opened with a win, an xBomb explosion next to the barrier, or a wild mining feature. Multipliers in the bottom positions are awarded when barriers are removed, and symbols are destroyed, or if the barrier reveals a scatter symbol. Winning combinations will explode, giving space for new symbols to fall.  

Wild Mining 

Wild mining symbols arrive when three, four, or five of the same symbols hit diagonally, but with no winning combination. Those symbols explode, and wild explosives take their place.  

  • 3 Symbols: Award 1 wild bomb 
  • 4 Symbols: Award 2 wild bombs 
  • 5 Symbols: Award 3 wild bombs 

Not only do they help with more wins, but they also increase the win multiplier by one for the next sequence. All other symbols explode, except the xBombs. If scatters explode, they’ll arrive again in a random position in the next collapse. 

xBomb Wild Multiplier 

xBomb wilds substitute for other symbols (except scatters) for more chances of winning. They explode symbols in a cross pattern next to it, increasing the win multiplier by one for the next collapse.  

Canary Free Spins 

You’ll need three canary scatter symbols to trigger this bonus. They’ll remain in place for the duration of the feature, unless they land in the vault position, where they’ll move to another space towards the centre.  

The reels transform into a 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4 grid with four locked vaults in each corner, which collect coins and multipliers from three neighbouring positions. To open these, you’ll need xBomb explosions.  

Scatter symbols start with 1x and collect coins, multipliers, upgrades, the rat and the dwarf. There are two scatters that you could have landed: a silver cage scatter that collects in an x-shape one position from itself, and a gold cage scatter which collects in an x-shape from the entire rows.  

The scatter furthest to the left picks up first, and they’ll have three hit points, where wins will be granted if the birds die. xBombs and gas symbols can lose hit points, and when the bird dies, it respawns. You’ll start with three spins, and each xBomb that lands resets the count back to three. 

Coins 

When you collect coins, the value is added to the scatter that collected them. 

Bomb 

When bombs explode, they affect neighbouring positions in an X-shape. It removes a hit point from the scatters and opens vaults.  

Multipliers 

Multipliers can double or triple the collected values of scatters and vaults.  

Gas 

Gas reduces the scatter hit points of all birds next to it by one. 

Dwarf 

Scatters can pick up dwarf symbols. When this happens, the scatter transforms and collects for each spin from all other scatters until the dwarf dies. When he dies, the bird respawns. The dwarf collects in the shape of the bird it transformed from. 

Rat 

Rat symbols can be picked up from one of the scatters, which becomes a persistent payer, sharing its collected values to all other scatters for each spin until the rat dies. When that happens, the bird respawns. The rat collects in the shape of the bird it transformed from. 

Upgrade 

The tankard upgrades silver cage scatters into gold cages and adds one hit point to that scatter.
