Slot Features
Wild symbol in the game substitutes for all the other symbols to help form a win combo. The only symbol it cannot substitute in for is the Bonus symbol. On top of being able to sub in the win line to form a combo, Wild can also create a combo when at least 3 happen to land on the same win line.
Expanding Wild
You will notice that there is a TNT Crate hitting the reels during the base game. When this happens the Crate will explode and expand upwards on that reel to help create more Wilds for more win chances of course.
Re-spin feature
The feature happens when you hit 2 Bonus symbols during the base game. Once triggered, the triggering symbols will turn into Sticky Wilds and a respin will be awarded. Any additional Wilds that hit during that respins will also stick, and award another respin.
Free Spins
Hit at least 3 Bonus symbols in the base game and you will trigger the Free Spins round. The number of spins awarded will depend on the number of triggering spins, and as such you may win 7, 9 or 11 spins. If you hit additional 3 symbols during the round, you will get added 3 spins awarded.
Once the feature starts, the bonus symbols will get stored and wait for final spin when they will explode and convert to Wilds with a multiplier that will be correspondent to the number of bonus symbols stored. If it happens to be so that there are multiple wilds with a multiplier on the same win line, these will get multiplied against each other.
Summary
Wild Chapo is something really different even though, at first, it may not seem like it. It has a great design, graphics and artwork. The features may seem like ordinary but they are truly fun and entertaining. The great point to the entire game is the chance to score a top win of x10000 your stake which is a max cap in this highly volatile slot. So if temperament-filled games with high thrills and risks are what you are looking for, then this slot is a must-try.
My first impression on this Wild Chapo game was like “aaah, good, my kind of game”, with none of those multi-reels and multi-rows rubbish which I hate a lot. 5 reels and 3 rows are my favourite standard, and the 0.10 starting bet per pin makes it even more appealing to me. What about that 10,000x maximum possible win? Well, that’s like a dream coming true, so I’m not bothered with that at all, but I can guess that the game would play with a high volatility though.
Other than that, what the game has to offer actually falls below my expectations. The top Chapo symbol pays only 25x the bet, 5 Wilds paying only 40x, which is way below the usual 100x to 500x, and the Bonus symbols are non paying either. Those are not good at all. The Bonus game awards only 7, 9 or 11 free spins with 3, 4 or 5 Bonus symbols, but worse of all, retriggering with 3 or more Bonus symbols would only award 3 more free spins. What the heck! That is certainly not to the usual standards. It should retrigger the same number of free spins instead. Well, there you see, this Relax provider simply likes to re-stress players all the time, not to relax them!
During the free spins feature game, there are no Wild symbols in play, but each Bonus symbol appearing are stored in its position on each reel, turning into Wild symbols on the very last spin. 2 or more Bonus symbols on one stored spot would give that Wild a 2x multiplier and so on. Naah, don’t expect the multiplier to go higher than 3x though. Have not seen that happening as yet. Nonetheless, Wilds on a same winning payline would multiply each other, so it is still possible to get much bigger wins.
Getting 2 Bonus symbols would trigger a Respin. The 2 Bonus symbols would turn into sticky Wilds, and a new Wild symbol would get 1 more free respin. Doesn’t always happen though. Also, a Wild TNT symbol would expand upwards with any win, creating 1 or 2 more additional Wilds above it, but yet again, this is not a regular occurrence.
I was excited to play this Wild Chapo game at the start, but after several hundreds of spins on it, I then realised how difficult it was to get any good decent wins from it. The Bonus games and the Bonus Respins didn’t pay that good either, so it was all very disappointing for me indeed.
