EXPLORE THE WILD WORLDS SLOT
Upon loading up the Wild Worlds slot, we're flung into a high-rise where three heroes are seated. Their goal is to defeat evil monsters and help you win amazing prizes. Above them is a floating hologram of the world and to their right is our five-by-five cluster.
This unconventional setup is a recipe for a remarkable slot game, as you'll see later. The graphics are high-quality but they won't be hard to forget. The unforgettable aspect of the game is saved for the extremely entertaining bonus features!
ABOUT THE GAME
Although the Wild Worlds slot doesn't offer the highest max. win around (2,500x), there's definitely enough room for sizeable wins if you're lucky. Here's what you need to know before taking this slot game for a spin.
STEP 1: HOW TO BET
In order to play Wild Worlds, you must first set your bet size. The min. bet in this game stands at €0.20, whereas the max. bet is €400, or currency equivalent. Once you've set your stake, you can go ahead and spin the reels! Keep in mind that the amount you net will be proportional to your stake value.
If you'd like to speed things up, the Wild Worlds slot includes the Autoplay function that can keep things moving without having to spin the reels yourself. For more information about how these features can be activated on your device, consult the game rules. Please play responsibly and impose a loss limit or win limit if you think that it is required.
STEP 2: LEARN THE SYMBOLS
As with all cluster slots, wins are awarded when matching symbols fall in close proximity to one another.
The different symbols are comprised of low to medium-value icons: blue gems marked with the face of a burly hero, green gems marked with the face of a long-haired hero and the pink gems showcase the female hero. Additionally, we've got a high-win symbol and Wild symbols — both are worth 100x your stake if five of them land.
STEP 3: CHECK OUT THE SPECIAL FEATURES
Luckily for us, the Wild Worlds slot has many exciting bonus features for us to enjoy if Lady Luck is on our side. Here's what you need to know.
DESTROY FEATURE
Upon every dead spin (spins that don't result in a winning combination) in the base game, you stand a chance of triggering the Destroy Feature. The way it works is this: only symbols of a single colour will remain on the reels and the rest will be removed (except Scatter symbols). New symbols will then drop onto the reels, potentially earning you winning combinations.
HERO WILDS FEATURE
Another cool feature is precisely Hero Wilds. Also triggered in the base game, every winning combination comprised of medium-win symbols (Hero symbols) will have all the other symbols turned into a Wild symbol. This can result in a pretty big win if you're lucky.
FREE SPINS FEATURE
The game takes things up a notch with the Free Spins feature. To trigger free spins, you must land at least three Scatter symbols. The Free Spins bonus round is made up of three 'worlds', where the Hero Wilds must defeat giant monsters through their Hero Attacks or Hero Special Attacks. Allow us to explain.
- Dark Forest: Upon destroying the monster's weak spot, you'll get spreading Wilds placed on random positions on the reels.
- Ice World - Upon destroying the monster's weak spot, you'll get a stack of two Heavy Wild symbols placed on random positions on the reels.
- Fire Lands - Upon destroying the monster's weak spot, you'll get anywhere between two and four random Wild symbols placed on the reels.
Now, here are the two alien monsters that our heroes will have to deal with if we unlock the Free Spins round. To deal some damage, you'll have to land winning combinations that consist of Hero symbols. The meter helps you gauge the damage output of the respective hero.
- Captains: This guy only has 15 hit points and when defeated, the Wild feature of your respective level will be unlocked.
- The Boss: With a whopping 105 hit points, the Boss can only be defeated if call the Captains have suffered the same fate. When the Boss is defeated, the feature is re-triggered and you'll be transferred to the next world to battle with a set of new monsters and with eight free spins in the bag. We'd say it's worth the effort!
PLAY THE WILD WORLDS DEMO
Seeing as this online slot isn't the simplest game you'll find on gambling sites out there, you'll definitely need to try the demo mode. As always, we recommend to start playing Wild Worlds for free before trying some spins with your own cash. If you're not sure what demos are, stick around!
The demo mode is a gaming mode available in all the best casinos that includes all the same features and mechanics you can expect when digging into the actual gameplay. The only difference is that you won’t be able to win real cash prizes when testing out the free slots.
The slot provider — in this case, NetEnt — allocates demo players a virtual bankroll to spin this game for free. Although demos offer the same payout as the real deal, players won’t be able to collect any of the winnings they earn in the demo. Nevertheless, this free-play version of the game is a great way to try some test spins before you try winning real money in the actual Wild Worlds online slot.
Remember that registration may be required to take the demo for a spin. Also, depending on your jurisdiction, you may be asked to complete the verification process of your account to access the demos. In cases where verification is not necessary, you may be able to play as a visitor — terms apply.
OUR THOUGHTS
The Wild Worlds online slot machine isn't what we expected when first loading up the game. Not only are there two cool features that can be unlocked in the base game but the Free Spins bonus game is truly one to behold.
Overcoming difficult monsters to progress through the game is the pinnacle of traditional gaming, and the extra bonus spins are the cherry on top. In summation, NetEnt surpassed all expectations with the Wild Worlds slot, creating a highly entertaining game which, all things said, requires quite some practice to grasp how it works.
The two main downsides to the Wild Worlds slot is that the Free Spins feature is somewhat complex and the max. win (2,500x) isn't up to par.
