Some video slots come with so overwhelming gameplay that once you start learning about their bonus features, you may easily give up on them. That was the case with us and the NetEnt 2019 title Wild Worlds. Revolving around bird heroes set to save the world from monsters, the slot comes packed with bonuses including three different free spins features where you need to help them and they will reward you properly. During this adventure, you can win up to 20,000 coins in a single spin.
There is nothing ordinary about Wild Worlds though it uses a 5x5 layout we have already seen in some NetEnt slots. It benefits from the Cluster Pays mechanics and pays whenever you place 3 or more symbols of a kind on a horizontal or vertical line. The bet is configured to 20 paylines, meaning that you have to wager at least 20 coins to play it. You can wager up to 200 coins per spin while a coin denomination ranges from $0.01 up to $2. A total wager per spin can be anywhere between $0.20 and $400, which is a betting range suitable for all kinds of players. The slot comes equipped with standard NetEnt functionalities which include Max Bet and Autoplay. Push the Spin button and you will set the reels in motion manually.
The biggest stars of the show are three bird heroes sitting in their headquarters at their desks getting ready to save the world. The graphics are crafted skilfully making the game look a cartoon with the backdrop of the reels being animated all the time. Symbols are depicted as gemstones in blue, purple and green. The ones featuring the superheroes’ faces make up the high ends of the paytable. However, the two top paying symbols are Wild and the black gemstone with a crown paying 2,000 coins each when you cover the grid with them. The rest of positions are filled with simple gemstones in blue, purple and green. The slot also features Scatter represented as a golden circle decorated with red, green and blue gems.
Whenever you create a win, you will activate the Avalanche feature providing you with an additional chance to win. What’s more, if you match 3 hero symbols, all remaining symbols of a kind will go Wild thus boosting your winnings chances. If you create no winning combos, the Destroy feature can be triggered at random with one of the superheroes destroying all other icons on the reels except from the symbols in their colour and Scatters.
On to the Free Spins feature, this is where things get really interesting. And complicated. You need 3 Scatters to enter it and win 8 free spins. Before you start playing free games, you will spin the wheel to reveal which of the three worlds you will enter. You can enter the Ice World, Fire Lands or Dark Forest. Whichever of these that you enter, you will have to help the superheroes battle the monsters. During free games, whenever you hit a win, you will deal damage to one or more monsters. When you defeat them all, you will have to battle the boss by damaging his weak spots. If you manage to defeat the boss, you will retrigger the feature.
Each of the Free Spins worlds comes with extras. Ice World comes with so-called Heavy Wilds, with stacks of 2 Heavy Wilds added to random positions. They complete winning combos and stay on the reels for the next Avalanche. Dark Forest benefits from Spreading Wilds randomly added to the reels to complete winning combos and spread to adjacent positions when part of a win. Within Fire Lands free spins, between 2 and 4 Random Wilds are added to the reels and if they complete a win, after explosion, the icons that appear in their positions turn into Wilds.
There is a lot of going on in this NetEnt title, but we can assure you that it plays smoothly. Actually, all you have to do is to set your bet and spin the reels while your new superhero friends will do the rest. This is another low to medium volatility offering from the renowned Swedish operator with a solid RTP of 96.47%. Give it a spin or two and you will enjoy it totally!
