Super Wilds Slot Machine
With a name like Super Wilds, it’s easy to start worrying that the slot you’re about to enjoy is going to be tepid at best, with hardly any action or innovation whatsoever; we’re just so accustomed to those sort of titles leading to disappointment. But with Super Wilds, from Genesis Gaming, we were pleasantly surprised.
From the off it’s teeming with animated 3D graphics upon each of the 5-reels and 25 win lines, making it an epic display of aesthetic advancement that even the most purist gamer can appreciate, even if they don’t enjoy it. Sporting a RTP rating of 95.12%, users can expect a medium amount of volatility, but without the fear of breaking into a sweat about it.
Hosting two lots of free spins, a double and a triple multiplier up for grabs, not to mention the super wilds, it seems that all systems are a go for a fast paced, nail biting ride to save the world. Heroes unite, we’re off into battle!
A City Like Any Other
It starts off looking quite peaceful, wherever this quiet city is - the buildings are clean and newly built, the sky is a calming blue and white, and the very atmosphere is wholesome and good. What could possibly go wrong? A Godzilla-like attack for starters, as well as what seems to be an angry piece of toasted food, and a punching robot. We wouldn’t say it’s the stuff of nightmares, but it paints a grim picture for this serene metropolis; if only someone was on hand to save the day and restore order…
Getting Super Wild
The Super Wild Free Spins are part of the reason the game has the name, for once three wilds come together, a series of 10 extra rounds will launch into action. It sounds pretty lame, but give this feature a chance, as there’s several high paying tiles that splash more than just cash when they land.
What you can hope to find during this round is dependent on the icon that activated the spins: was it the Double Multiplier Man, the Triple Multiplier Man, the Spin Twins or Expando-Man?
- Double Multiplier Man: As you’ve probably guessed by now, swoops in with a multiplier of x2 for all wins.
- Triple Multiplier Man: He charges in with x3 instead, being the most rewarding of the two.
- Spin Twins: This duo come in hard and gift you as many as five more games, allowing you more time to tot up those rewards.
- Expando-Man: As rubbish as his name is, this guy can spread out across the reels, the wild expanding and thus becoming more profitable.
Small Pay Outs
Here comes the downside to Super Wilds, which we hate to say as so far it’s been a roller coaster of fun: the pay outs are shockingly low. Even if you go in with the highest wager possible, the returns remain the same, and so you’ll be left short changed unless you keep getting multipliers.
The highest pay out for five of a kind, without any multipliers, is just 5 credits. As you can see, you’d really need to strike it lucky with a lot of free spins for that amount to ever seem generous. Sadly though, it gets worse, for the lowest paying tile is just 0.80 for five of a kind, with three matches resulting in a depressing 0.05 win.
What we seem to have here is what we’ve seen in other contemporary games – they lull you in with impressive graphics and then leave you high and dry with little monetary gain. The thing is, with such a varied special feature like the Super Wild Free Spins, you’d have expected there to be more potential among the normal pay table than this.
Broken Dreams
For all those of you who’ve dreamed of being a hero from when you was a small child, turn away now, for your dreams could end up getting crushed even further. Super Wilds has the markers of greatness, with a special feature that makes free spins exciting again, but then it lets us all down with such timid rewards elsewhere.
Consequently, it’s hard to say whether this is worth a play or not because, ultimately, you’ll end up feeling betrayed, but in a way that looks good whilst it happens. Due to everything we’ve mentioned, this is a sad and sorry three and a half star real cash slot.
