Blown Away slot review
Blown Away is a Lightning Box slot that went on general release in April 2020, with five reels, three rows and 25 paylines. Its walrus-led crew sails a fishing boat thrown off course, and the main mechanic is a tornado on reel 5 that removes the low-paying royals one respin at a time.

How Blown Away plays
All 25 lines pay from left to right. The royals 9 to A are the low payers, while the higher prizes come from the animal characters, including a monkey, a reptile scientist and penguins. The walrus captain is the wild and substitutes for the regular symbols, but not for the boat scatter.
Tornado respins and the free games
The tornado is a second wild that only lands on reel 5. When it arrives it pulls the lowest royal off the reels, starting with the 9s, and awards a respin. Every further tornado removes the next royal up, and the sequence can keep going until no royals are left.
Three or more boat scatters award 10 free games and pay 5x, 25x or 150x stake for three, four or five. During the free games, any royals a tornado removes stay gone for the rest of the round.
Tornadoes in the free games can also catch cows. Each cow adds 1x to a multiplier, which can reach 7x, and gives an extra free game.
