Before going to Vietnam, players are advised to set their bets first. There are 20 fixed paylines you can bet on. The “Coin value” ranges from 0.01 to 1. The “Autospin” option enables reels to turn without interruption for the selected number of times. Once you are ready, simply hit “Spin”.
The Wild is the Tank. It acts as a substitute for all symbols, except the Scatter and the Jackpot symbols. When the Wild helps form a winning combination, a x3 multiplier is added. The Wild then moves to the left and a re-spin is awarded.
Free Spins logo is the Scatter. Regardless of their position, at least 3 Scatters trigger the Free Spins feature. Namely, 3, 4 or 5 Scatters activate 8, 10 or 12 Free Spins respectively. All wins are doubled throughout the Free Spins feature.
Players need to land at least 5 Jackpot symbols anywhere on the reels to win a progressive jackpot. Keep in mind, the winning combinations can be formed both ways during Free Spins and the Jackpot wins.

“Platoon Wild” is the next slot in the Platoon saga of the company iSoftBet, both based on the famous film of the same name that tells one of the stories about the experiences of American soldiers in Vietnam.
Although the word “wild” has been included in the title of this slot, I think the wild symbol is not exactly remarkable in this game since it does not double your winnings, it does not appear stacked, and it does not replicate itself either, and in fact, I almost dare say that it does not appear much either; although this does not mean that I have any complaints about the behavior of this symbol.
In contrast, jackpots and free spins are features that are really worth highlighting; the first for the ability to create real big wins, and the second because it is a dynamic feature that happens quite often and also because all our winnings are doubled during it.
As for the paytable, in general, all prices are quite weak except those designated for the symbols of soldier Chris Taylor (Charlie Sheen) and less strong, Sergeant Elias.
Non-winning streaks in this slot are usually not very long; however, most of the times we get tiny payouts that in many cases do not cover the value of our bet per spin. Now a couple of lines of 3 of a kind with the Taylor soldier's symbol is enough to generate a win capable of recovering what you've lost during the last 10 or 15 turns depending on the size of your other payouts.
The cherry on the cake, of course, it is the Jackpot feature, which pays 20, 100, 200, 1,000, 2,000, 20,000, or 50,000 coins for getting 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 jackpot symbols in a single spin; and precisely this was the feature that determined my triumphant exit today since, during my last round of free spins, I got 7 of these symbols that allowed me to win 2,000 coins on that turn and then finish my round of 8 free spins with a total gain of 105x my total bet.
Before my last big hit, I was also able to get 5, 4 and 3 jackpot symbols on numerous occasions and also accessed several free spins rounds, and all this contributed greatly to keep my balance at acceptable or at least tolerable levels until the arrival of my eureka moment.
In general, I think “Platoon Wild” is one of those good old slots manufactured by iSoftBet, engaging and even with great potential to make you win big if luck is on your side. A slot you should try out.
