Wild Gambler game review

Wild Gambler logo

The Wild Gambler slot was created by the talented team at Ash Gaming and offers plenty of opportunities to hit the jackpot. Set in the African landscape, the 5 reel and 20 payline set will allow players to ‘spin’ and win. In addition, the new feature allows you to block wild symbols in place – for a certain price.

More about the slot machine

Wild Gambler is an online slot with an RTP of 96.70%. It has 20 paylines on 5 reels and offers free spins, a unique lock and spin feature, and sticky wilds. The game is available as a free demo or for real money with a maximum bet of £100.

The software developer decided that the design and theme of Wild Gambler would center around a vicious lion in the heart of Africa. Therefore, players will find some endangered species flying around the reels. In the distance, the hot sun is setting over an arid landscape, but that doesn’t stop the lion from going out to hunt.

The control panel is artfully crafted to look like rocks and wood. Also, you can not miss the skull – this is where the paytable is located. Wine lines are displayed on both sides of the reels, and when a gambler finds a win, these symbols are highlighted in color. At the top of the machine, you can find a message about adding wilds to the reels.

Stakes and Symbols

The top prize of 1,000 times the stake can be awarded when a full pay line of lion symbols appears. The lion is also a wild symbol that substitutes for all others to help players win.

Mean value symbols:

  • a rhinoceros with a top prize of 800 times the player’s bet;
  • cheetah with a multiplier of 500 times;
  • zebra with a payout of 400 times;
  • Flamingos with a 300x multiplier.

The low value symbols are the card values: 10, J, Q, K and A. By the way, they are all with animal prints. There are no other symbols in the game, but there are two great features.

Players can adjust the bet to suit their personal budget, with low stakes starting as low as 1p per payline. But if you choose to have all 20 paylines locked in place, you will need to wager at least 20p per spin. On the other hand, high rollers can play with a bet of £100 per spin, which means these symbols become even more rewarding.

Bonus features of the slot machine

When wild symbols appear on the reels, the player has the option to lock them in place before spinning. The button for this is located next to the spin button. If you press the lock and spin button, you can lock your wilds, and when the reels spin, these wilds will remain locked, increasing the chances of winning.

The “play it your way” feature is really unique. If there is a set wild pattern that you would like to keep, ignoring any new wilds, you can turn off the auto-lock of wilds by checking the box on first hit of lock and spin.

This means that the current location of the wilds will remain in place for each spin, so you can select the positions of the wilds before spinning and then check the box to save your unique pattern. 1 to 5 meerkats can appear randomly on any spin and award 8 spins. Any wilds that are locked in the award of free spins will be held in place for the duration of your free spins.
