Foxin' Wins is a 25-payline video slot running on the NextGen Gaming software platform. The game’s wild card features the main star of the slot, Mr. Fox, and the Pot of Gold is the game’s scatter. Players are invited to try the slot on this page for free or visit any of the featured NextGen Gaming casinos to play the game for real money.
To begin their exciting adventure with generous Mr. Fox, players should adjust their bet first. The coin value, ranging from 0.01 to 2, can be adjusted by clicking the arrows beneath the coin stack, which is the “Max Bet” button used for placing the maximum bet. The “Spin” button shaped like a pillow initiates the game and the green “Autoplay” button is used to play the games multiple times without any interruptions.
The Gamble button in the form of a Glass allows players to increase their winnings. If they guess the colour of the face-down card correctly, the amount is doubled and if they guess the suit, the amount will be quadrupled. Should they guess wrong, however, the sum is lost and the feature ends. To terminate the round themselves, players can push the “Take Win” button and save their winnings.
Super Bet is an additional bet. Fox Pups hide inside the reels, waiting to appear on the screen and turn symbols into wilds, providing additional opportunities for winning.
10 Free Games will be awarded when 3 or more scatters spin into the view. During the Free Games, Fox Pups appear more frequently. All prizes are doubled during the Free Games feature, which can also be re-triggered.
After any paid spin, a Random Bonus can be awarded. One bonus round is called Fox Funds and the other bonus game is Leprechaun Shakedown. In Fox Funds, foxes top up the player’s bonus with Fox Funds. During Leprechaun Shakedown, prizes are won if the Leprechaun is caught.

Foxin Wins is one of the few games from NextGen that I actually like playing, although I can hardly ever win on any of their games! Whenever I get free spins on this game, I would get a good play on it, getting frequent small wins and even Free Spins games, but when I do play them with my deposits, they always go the other way! What the argh! Hence, none of NextGen games ever became my favourites.
Foxin Wins play with an additional optional feature - a SuperBet feature. What it does is to increase the number of random Wilds appearing on the reels, in both the base and Free Spins games. On the surface, this looks interesting enough, but my few use of this feature only made me lose my credits faster! I know that some players got lucky with it, getting some wins too, but certainly not for me, and perhaps not for many other players too. Personally, I regard this SuperBet feature as nothing more than a gimmick to get players to play with bigger bets than necessary! Nowadays, whenever I see this SuperBet option, I'd give it my infamous one-finger salute and ignore it completely. Hahaha.
Paytable wise, Foxin the Fox is the Wild symbol, paying a decent 2000x the line bet for getting 5 of them. Not a lot though, as compared to the usual 5000x, and it doesn't even double any wins with it, so this sucks! The Pot is the Scatter symbol, paying 100x the total bet for 5 of them, still not a lot but acceptable enough, and 3 or more Pots would trigger 10 free spins with all wins doubled. All other symbols pay from 1000x to 100x the line bet for getting 5 of each kind, but these too are below the average standards. On the whole, the paytable is on the low side, so most payouts would tend to be less than 100x the total bet amount. Not really to my liking.
In the base game, there are 2 randomly activated features that would throw in some extra small wins of up to 10x the total bet amount, if I'm not mistaken. The first feature is the Fox Funds - Foxin would appear on the screen with a pot and take out coins as an extra win. The second feature is the Leprechaun Shake Down - Foxin would chase a Leprechaun across the screen, and if caught, coins would be shaken down from the Leprechaun's pockets as an extra win. Not a lot of coins each time it gives, but it helps nonetheless.
The Free Spins game is a bit of a let down to me, offering only 10 free spins with a 2x multiplier. The usual would be with a 5x multiplier instead. Even though more free spins can be retriggered, this hardly ever happens, but I have gotten them before, no doubt, but with disappointing extra wins from them. Like I said, these free spins should have been with a 5x multiplier instead to get good decent payouts! My best win on the game so far? Would you believe just a miserable 114x my bet amount? That's far from being satisfactory! Argh!
