Birds in The City Guide: Rules, Total Multiplier, Super Scatters and Bonus Buy
By the CasinoDemo editorial team · Updated 2026-11-09 · How we review
Birds in The City is a Betsoft pay anywhere slot on a 6x5 grid, with cascading reels, multiplier nests worth up to 500x and a Total Multiplier that keeps growing through free spins. The headline 45,000x top prize is tied to the Super Scatter, a golden birdhouse that pays a fixed prize when it helps trigger the bonus.
We played the demo at a €2 bet, read every rules page and bought both bonus options: regular Free Spins and Super Free Spins. Here is how it all works, with the paytable converted to multiples of the bet and the real results of our two buys.

How Birds in The City works
The game is a 6x5 grid where identical symbols pay anywhere on the screen. You need at least 8 matching symbols for a win, with higher pays for 10 to 11 and for 12 or more. Only the highest win per combination pays.
Wins trigger cascading reels. Winning symbols are removed (scatters stay put), the rest drop down and new symbols fall in from above. Cascades continue until no new wins appear, there is no limit to how many can happen, and all wins are added together after the last cascade.
The demo paytable is shown at the current bet. At €2, the red bird pays 50x the bet for 12 or more, 25x for 10 to 11 and 10x for 8 to 9. The scientist owl pays 25x, 10x and 2.5x, the football bird 15x, 5x and 2x, and the orange bird 12x, 2x and 1.5x. The eggs are the low symbols: red egg 10x for 12+, purple 8x, orange 5x, green 4x and blue 2x. Eight to nine blue eggs return just 0.25x, so the multipliers do most of the heavy lifting.
The demo offered bets from €0.20 to €8 per spin, with €2 as the default.
Multiplier symbols
The coloured nests are MULTIPLIER symbols. They can land on any reel during spins and cascades, in both the base game and Free Spins. Each one shows a value from this list: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x or 500x.
After all cascades finish, every multiplier on screen is added together and applied to the total win from that round. Multipliers from the previous spin are removed at the start of each new spin. Scatter and Super Scatter wins are not multiplied.
Scatters, Super Scatters and mystery symbols
There are two scatter types: the regular birdhouse SCATTER and the golden SUPER SCATTER. Both pay on any position and can appear on all reels, but only one scatter of any kind can land on each reel at a time. At €2, the scatter pays 3x the bet for 4, 5x for 5 and 100x for 6.
Four or more scatters of any kind trigger 15 Free Spins. When at least one Super Scatter is part of the triggering combination, you also get a fixed prize: 100x the total bet for 1 Super Scatter, 500x for 2, 5,000x for 3 and 45,000x for 4. No more than 4 Super Scatters can appear at once, and the Super Scatter does not appear during Free Spins.
MYSTERY symbols (a red crate with a question mark) can show up in base game spins and cascades. Each one reveals a symbol that may form or add to a win. They do not pay or trigger anything themselves, and they do not appear during Free Spins.
Free Spins and the Total Multiplier
Free Spins are played at the bet of the triggering spin. The electrical box on the left holds the TOTAL MULTIPLIER. When a multiplier lands during a spin that produces a win, its value is added to the Total Multiplier. The Total Multiplier is then added to any multipliers on screen and applied to that spin's win after all cascades.
There are two catches spelled out in the rules. Winning spins without a new multiplier are not multiplied by the Total Multiplier, and multipliers that land without a win are not added to it. So the box only pays off on spins where a fresh nest lands alongside a win.
Three or more scatters during Free Spins award 5 extra spins. Scatters do not pay during the feature. In our regular Free Spins buy, four scatters landed on one spin and added 5 more spins.
Buy Bonus options
Two buy buttons sit to the right of the grid. At a €2 bet they showed:
15 Free Spins for €200, which is 100x the bet. 15 Super Free Spins with all multipliers 10x or higher for €1,000, which is 500x the bet.
The Buy Bonus is disabled while the Bet Booster is switched on. The demo's rules screens did not list a separate RTP for either buy.
Our results, each a single round at €2 and not an average: the regular Free Spins buy opened with four scatters paying €6, then included a €114 Huge Win and a 5-spin retrigger. The whole round paid €215.90, about 108x the bet against a 100x price. The Super Free Spins buy paid €278.50 in total, about 139x the bet, well short of its 500x cost. Its best moment was a €216 Mega Win: a €3 cascade win multiplied by 72, the x22 Total Multiplier plus four nests (x10, x10, x10 and x20) on screen.
Bet Booster
The Bet Booster is a toggle under the buy buttons. When it is ON, the chance to win Free Spins in the base game is doubled and the bet goes up by 50% (the panel showed €3.00 at our €2 base bet). It does not raise the payout of any combination. It can be switched on or off in the base game. If Free Spins trigger while it is on, it pauses until the feature ends. We left it off for the paytable figures and for both buys.
Max win and RTP
The maximum win per round is 45,000x your bet. When it is reached, the round ends immediately and any remaining features are forfeited. Four Super Scatters in a trigger pay exactly that 45,000x.
The rules pages in the demo do not print an RTP or a volatility rating, so check the info screen at your casino before playing for real money. Operators can run different versions.
Our verdict
Birds in The City is a busy pay anywhere game with a clear plan: land nests during wins in Free Spins and let the Total Multiplier snowball. The rule that only spins with a fresh multiplier get the Total Multiplier makes the feature streakier than it first looks, and our two buys showed that. The regular buy at 100x is the more sensible way to see the feature in the demo. The 500x Super Free Spins guarantee bigger nests, but in our one try that was not enough to get near the price. The Super Scatter prizes are the real long shot here.
