The Cuckoo slots game can be found at casinos offering Endorphina software. Endorphina are one of the newer casino software providers on the market but they have managed to gain distribution with some of the largest casino networks currently active within the market. As a standard Endorphina do publish the RTP/House Edge information for their slots games within the game help file or paytables. As a software provider not licensed in the UK, and as such not required to publish this information, this is a significantly player friendly practice. As such we can state that the House Edge of Cuckoo is 4.00%.
A symbol of status that has propped up empires – the Faberge egg.
Cuckoo is a 5 reel slots game and each reel is 3 symbols high. The game uses 10 paylines and you can bet up to 10 coins per payline.
There is no Wild symbol when playing Cuckoo.
There is only one bonus feature when playing Cuckoo and it is activated when you receive three or more of the ‘Wall Clock’ scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. When this happens you will be taken to a new screen showing a clock. You move the golden hand around the clock to decide the multiplier you will win. The further round the clock you move the golden hand the bigger the multiplier you could win. However, there is an alarm set to go off and if you move the golden hand past this alarm point the bonus feature ends and you lose. The bonus ends if the alarm goes off, if you’ve moved the golden hand twice without the alarm going off or if you win the maximum multiplier.
Conclusion
Cuckoo offers a game with visually attractive design and layout. The bonus feature is certainly on the more interesting end of those offered in Endorphina games. However this is combined with a House Edge that’s at the top end of the range that is being used as a standard by most modern slots releases and results in a game that’s not offering as much for your money as many other games. This is one of the better Endorphina games but still isn’t amongst the best we’ve seen.
