Wild Harlequin Slot

Wild Harlequin is a 5 reel and 10 payline slot from QuickSpin that was released a few months ago. I wasn't too keen on trying the game at first, but once Videoslots was running a battle on this game and after playing it for a bit, I enjoyed it and decided to play it with real money.

The game itself looks quite classy- it involves different gems as well as the Harlequin which is a wild symbol. The interesting thing about the harlequin is the fact that it can land stacked- which means you can get better base game wins with a stacked wild. But also the fact that the Wild Harlequin is also a scatter- once you land 3 wild harlequins, you'll trigger the free spins round. I have to say that I quite enjoy the base game as you can get good winning combinations due to the stacked wilds, and also once you trigger the bonus round, you might get a good win with the 3 stacked wilds before you enter the bonus, which is great.

The bonus round itself is also quite fascinating. You get 10 free spins and on each reel there's a meter- once a wild symbol lands on that reel, it will fill the meter. And once the meter is filled, you'll get extra spins and the multiplier will increase. I've managed to fill several of the meters and get 6 or even 8 extra spins with a higher wild multiplier. And that's when you can get really decent hits. I've had a few wins over 100x bet and my best win was from free spins, when I had an overall of 18 free spins and it paid 300x bet. Also from my experience, the game is medium volatile and the free spins feature comes up quite often- and while it usually pays around 40x bet, it can easily keep your balance steady on the base game due to the stacked wilds.

Overall I've been quite pleased with this game. I initially tried it being quite skeptical, since it's a 10 payline slot and my experience with QuickSpin games hasn't been extremely rewarding. However, I tend to play this game when my balance is running low and it has boosted my balance many times. It's a simple game when it comes to graphics yet the features are quite good. Definitely one of my recent favorites from QuickSpin.

Wild Harlequin is basically the latest release from Quickspin provider, with a lot of potentials, up to 30 000x, but we know that does not happen as we see max wins every week in Relax Gaming or Nolimit City slots. They design beautiful games, however with the math mechanism, it's very hard to hit it big, let alone 1000x, even though the slot can produce over 30 000.

The standard card deck symbols like clubs, spaces, hearts, and diamonds act as the lower-paying symbol followed up by different crystals that can pay very huge. The wild symbol itself pays as the highest paying symbol and you can get 5 of a kind to win 200x your total stake if a full screen of wilds land. Now landing a full screen of wilds is not impossible as every wild landing on any reel will nudge to fill the screen up.

The game plays standard with nudging wilds until you land 3 wilds anywhere on the reels to trigger the free spins feature. This slot is all about the free spins feature as you can activate multiplier wilds.

You are awarded 10 free spins, and the wild reels that triggered the free spins feature have multipliers above it. Every time a harlequin land on those reels, it increases the multiplier and fills up a bar. Landing wilds 4 times award 2 extra spins.

When you have 2 or more wilds substituting in a win with multipliers reels, they multiply each other for huge wins. So if reels 1, 2, and 3 have wilds with each a 5x multiplier, your total win is x125, and this is how you can achieve huge wins and what helps a lot is the nudging wilds.

It’s a very unique slot and I simply love this slot, bonus pays good and I trigger a bonus on average within 70 spins, however, I once went 600 spins and nothing. Very volatile, so watch out.
