Wild 1

Wild 1 Review

Hot off the press from Peter & Sons and Yggdrasil studios, Wild 1 is a medium-high volatility slot playable on a 5×4 reel grid with up to 4,096 win ways. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, the game’s theme is very Peter & Sons – imaginative and quite spooky. There’s one odd-looking dude rocking a guitar, and the remains of the world we once lived in can be seen in the background. The premium symbols look even more alien than the jammin’ chap, but they’re not half as thrilling as four types of wilds locked inside the nifty Power Reel. Ready to discover what happens next?

Wild 1 Bonus Features

Cascading reels or Cascading Ways, as the developer calls it, is one of the foremost bonus features in Wild 1. When you create a win, a cascade triggers, replacing all winning symbols with fresh ones and resulting in potential multiple wins in a single spin. Additionally, the game boasts a 4-level Power Wild Reel feature with 4 types of wilds, including multipliers, a free spins bonus round and a bonus buy function. Let’s inspect all slot features more closely.

Wilds

A whole array of skull wilds appears on the horizontal Power Reel atop the main grid. They come in regular wilds, unbreakable wilds, expanding wilds, and wild multipliers and can be unlocked at different tier levels. Regular wilds, as usual, will substitute for other symbols, but the unbreakable and expanding wilds will work the magic of their own. The unbreakable wilds will stick to the reels until the end of a cascade, and the expanding wilds will extend to cover their respective reels. The wild multipliers do what they do best – multiply your current win up to 10x.

Scatters

Landing enough radioactive scatters during the base game will trigger the free spins bonus round or help you move up a tier within the Power Reel.

Power Wild Reel

Similar to the bonus reel seen in the developer’s Valkyries slot, the Power Wild Reel can dispense any symbols. But occasionally, it will drop one or a combination of wilds, depending on your tier status. Here’s what you’ll encounter on each level:

• Tier 0 – regular wilds and blanks.
• Tier 1 – regular wilds, multiplier wilds and blanks.
• Tier 2 – regular wilds, multiplier wilds, unbreakable wilds and blanks.
• Tier 3 – regular wilds, multiplier wilds, unbreakable wilds, expanding wilds and blanks.

Scatter Blast

If you catch 2 scatters on the reels after a winning cascade, they’ll explode and remove the symbols around them in a 3×3 square, prompting a new cascade. Trigger two scatter blasts in a row, and you’ll upgrade your current tier level, unlocking a new wild feature as a result.

Free Spins

If you happen to land 3 hazardous scatters in the base game, you’ll activate the bonus round with 10 free spins. Triggering the round with more than 3 scatters, awards an extra spin for each additional triggering scatter. But the best news is that you’ll have all tiers of the Power Reel unlocked during this round. The scatter blast or bomb feature is also active, and if you land another 3 scatters, you’ll win another 10 free spins to keep you exploring this dystopian world.

Wild 1 Jackpot

Thanks to 4,096 different ways to win and a retriggerable free spins feature, the game can offer a rather handsome top payout of more than 10,000x stake. We didn’t spot any other jackpots appearing in this game.

RTP and Volatility

Given the high max potential, Wild One arrives with a respectable set of key stats. The volatility level is set to medium-high and the RTP of 96% is bang on the industry average.
