Tornado Farm Escape is a 20-payline video slot running on the NetEnt platform software. This colourful game’s most important symbols are the TV, which is wild, and the Hot and Cold symbols which trigger special features. Players are free to choose any of the featured NetEnt casinos to play the game for real money.
Before starting their stormy journey, players need to adjust their bet. Clicking the Level arrows alters the number of coins wagered. The arrows beneath the “Coin Value” sign regulate the coin size, ranging from 0.01 to 1. Pushing the green Spin button prompts the reels to begin turning. The “Max Bet” button spins the reels at the highest bet and current coin value. In order to play the game for a preset number of times without interruption, players should click the “Auto Play” button.
When Hot and Cold symbols appear on the 1st and 5th reels at once, the Tornado feature is triggered. The Tornado activates the symbol appearing on the 2nd row of the center reel, collecting all wild and active symbols. The reels continue to spin until there are no active symbols left. Coin wins are awarded for every active and wild symbol collected.
The Storm feature is activated arbitrarily during a spin. The Storm travels in a random direction, producing wilds. When the Storm feature ends, all the wilds created by the Storm substitute for the highest winning combination on a payline.

It's always a surprise what Net Entertainment brings to the table when they release a new video slot since every game tends to be different when it comes to the features. Today was the official launch of Tornado: Farm Escape at online casinos powered by NetEnt.
It's a day that I always look forward to because I generally always get spoiled with free spins for being loyal to several casinos. It means trying this game out for free while still having a shot at making real money.
So how did I fair? Let's first discuss the game Tornado: Farm Escape in depth. This video slot offers 20-paylines, 5-reels and 3-rows. There is no free spins feature or separate bonus game that makes you pick a symbol or whatever. The theme is based on farm animals as depicted in the symbols (piggy, cows, sheep's etc.).
The game is pretty straight forward but does have some new features that I certainly haven't seen much before. The minimum bet is 20 cents btw. That's the bet size I was forced to use with my free spins since they generally don't offer them higher.
The main features I'm talking about is the Tornado feature and the randomly triggered Storm Feature. The Tornado feature gets activated once you get a cloud symbol on reel 1 and 5. Once that happens the symbol on the middle of reel 3 gets chosen and sucked into some sort of bowl.
After that, the reels keep spinning and every time that symbol or a wild symbol (TV) appears, they get sucked into that bowl and increases your prize. The goal is to get more than 17 of them to earn the highest compensation for it.
I never got further than 12 of them though I believe winning like 25x bet size. The other feature is the Storm feature. When this feature appears, random symbols get turned into a wild. I had this happen a few times but it started doing that with symbols on reel 5, which of course failed to make a winning combination.
In addition, I must say base game wins are quite terrible. Nevertheless, I do find this a fun game in all honesty. I made around 16 euros of my free spins but ended up broke eventually by not being able to meet the WR. Ahh well, maybe next time more luck.
When the Storm feature turns symbols on the last reel wild. If it does that a couple times in a row, then it can be quite frustrating if you don't have to have a winning combination reaching that far.
