Muse Wild Inspiration is a Greek mythology-themed 25-payline video slot operating on the NetEnt software platform. The game features the 3 Muses, constituting several combinations of wild symbols which will be further explained later in the text. The game’s scatter is the Sandal. Players are welcome to try the slot on this page for free, or they can play the game for real money in any of the listed NetEnt casinos.
In order to join the Greek Muses on their adventures, players need to regulate their bet. The bet level is adjusted by using the "Level" selector. The coin size, ranging from 0.01 to 0.5, is set by moving the "Coin Value" selector. “Spin” will initiate the game, while “Max Bet” turns the reels using the highest available amount. Should players wish to play for a predetermined number of times uninterrupted, they need to press “Auto Play”.
Wild symbols can only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4. The Wild Inspiration symbol triggers 3 different wild features: sticky wild, expanding wild or x2 wild. When a Wild Inspiration symbol emerges on a reel, the symbol flips and arbitrarily triggers 1 of the 3 wild features. The expanding wild features the Black-haired Muse, the sticky wild presents the Purple-haired Muse and the Blonde Muse is the x2 multiplier wild.
3 or more scatters will activate the Free Spin round. 3 scatters equal 10 Free Spins, 4 scatters will trigger 20 Free Spins and 30 Free Spins will be awarded when 5 scatters spin into the view. When a Wild Inspiration symbol appears during the Free Spins, the symbol randomly triggers 1 of the 3 wild combinations: Sticky x2 Wild, Expanding x2 Wild or Sticky Expanding Wild.

The word 'muse' has different meanings. As a verb, it means to think deeply into something. As a noun, it refers to a woman. So in this case, Muse Wild Inspiration is referring to women who can create some wild inspirations for fun and entertainment. Back in the Queen Victorian era, if the queen was not amused, she would say "I am not amused!" and the jester may lose his head - literally! In this game, if you are not amused, you won't lose your head, but you'll definitely lose your wallet! Hahaha.
For a start, this game has the potentials to make you lose your wallet! Why? Simply because the Wild and the Scatter symbols don't pay anything for themselves, so you are already losing a lot of additional winning opportunities from them! I simply hate NetEnt games that have non-paying Wild and Scatter symbols! Nope, that's not the worst of it - there's more! The highest paying symbol pays only 500x the line bet for getting 5 of them, whilst the lowest symbol only pays 50x - that's 20x and 2x the total bet win values. The only good thing in this game is that the Wild symbol can do one of three things - becoming an Expanded Wild Reel, a Sticky Wild or a 2x Multiplier Wild. If you think that's good, nope, it isn't! A 2x multiplier is certainly not good enough to create any nice good wins! Mediocre wins, yes, big wins, definitely no!
I simply hate it when I get 2 Scatters on the reels but get paid nothing. Each time this happens, I'm losing out 1x or 2x total bet wins. In the long run, all these missing outs would add up to a big amount! Imagine getting 5 Scatters and you get nothing, getting only 30 free spins, and with only a 2x Wild multiplier. That's losing out a 100x, or a 200x, or even a 500x the total bet win! Argh! And a lot of NetEnt games have this characteristic - non-paying Wilds and non-paying Scatters. So I'll say it once again, I hate it!
Gees! Thankfully the game plays quite well at the right time, giving lots of Wild symbols, with or without wins with them. So that kept my interest in the game going for longer periods of play time, otherwise, I would have said "I'm not amused!" and have those 3 Wild inspirational women beheaded! Hahaha. My best win on the game so far, over the years I have played this game? Nothing more than 100x my bet amount! Sheesh! Would I play this Muse game ever again? I am like Queen Victoria! Hahaha.
