Wild Worlds Slot

Wild Worlds is a cluster pays slot from Netent that was released a few years ago. At the time of the release, I was quite excited to try it out because I used to love Netent games and the game theme and design seemed very fun. But my excitement didn't last long. 

The game is inspired by a futuristic alien theme and the slot has a vibrant color scheme which I really like. And when it comes to technical aspects, the slot pays in clusters- you need to get 3 or more matching symbols horizontally or vertically to build a winning combination. On some occasions, winning symbols will create a wild which helps to get winning combinations. There are also some base game features where symbols get destroyed or wilds are added to the screen.
Visually it looks great, but payout wise I haven't seen any big wins from these features. But the only positive thing is that because of the destroyer I've managed to trigger many free spins features- for example, I've had 2 scatters, the destroyer feature removes other symbols and the third scatter drops. But regardless, I haven't seen any big wins from the base game features, rather I've had some big wins on the base game because of regular wilds that were created after a winning combination. And in this case, I've had my best ever win on this game of 200x bet due to a 5ak combination with a premium symbol. Other than that, I've had a few 30x base game wins but nothing more.

Then as the main star of the show is the free spins bonus round which is triggered by 3 or more scatter symbols. You get 8 free spins and you'll play them in one of the 3 worlds- fire, ice or forest. Each world has different wild features that you can explore. My favorite is the fire one because it adds random wilds to the screen. The most important thing in the free spins are consecutive wins. The 3 heroes will gain strength from each win and will attack the monster. If you defeat the monster, you'll move on to the next one and can again get different wild symbols when you attack the monster successfully. I have to say that the free spins can be a huge hit or a miss. I've had dozens of features that don't even pay 20x bet and the fact that you get 8 free spins to start with also feels a bit low as most of the time, a few of the spins are dead spins and you don't get enough wins to actually destroy the monster.

Overall I have very mixed feelings about this game. I really liked the features in theory, I really like the design too and the gameplay and attaching the monsters is fun. However, the payouts in general are quite low. I've spent many hours on this game and only once had a win over 50x which was my 200x bet win- best result thus far. It can be a relaxing game as the volatility isn't very high but I wouldn't expect any big wins.

The ‘Wild Worlds’ video slot developed by NetEnt. Is a Cluster pays slot, with 5 reels and 20 Paylines. The slot, is quite similar to Netent’s - Gonzo’s Quest, which contains the reel type Avalanche™, representing the falling symbols, that are replaced by wins of connecting symbols.
The visuals include a modern cartoon style, while the sounding stands on decent level. The theme has to do with a trio of ‘Superhero Birds’. Each of the characters is represented by their own color and Hero symbol. Though, as danger arises, the true Superhero’s are ready to go and fight evil. Hehe!

3 or more Scatter symbols trigger the Free Spins game. The three Superheroes enter one of the three worlds, to face their Villains. Each world has their own set of 3 Bosses. The Boss, has 105 Hit points spread across 6 different weak spots. For the bonus, there are 3 randomly selected world options, that are as follows:

Dark Forest uses the Spreading Wilds feature. Whenever a Villain’s weak spot is destroyed, a spreading Wild enters the game screen. Every win combination makes the wild move to an adjacent position.

Fire Lands uses the Random Wilds feature. Whenever a Villain’s weak spot is destroyed, 2-4 random Wilds, appear on any location on the reels.

Ice Worlds uses the Heavy Wilds feature. Whenever a Villain’s weak spot is destroyed, a stack of Heavy Wilds or sticky wilds, appear on one of the tiles and stick around until the next spin.

In overall, NetEnt has done it quite well. While aesthetically, the game might not be appealing to the regular audience the game shows itself to be exciting, even though I had some sessions only, on ‘Fire Lands’ realm. The game's variety of features provides plenty of time to try your Superhero - Luck!

Nice graphics and theme, I like the idea of an animal city controlled by chickens in an office with random monsters wandering past the window.

Sound effects reasonable.

Variance way too high - you have to wade through hundreds of dead spins and insultingly low wins before the game will rarely award the bonus game (which is itself unreliable in its payouts) or spit out a massive win on the reels.

Random bonuses rarely improve the game in any way, .just slow things down for yet another dead spin.

A cartoon-themed game from NetEnt? Ah, this not a common occurrence, if I may say so, and there aren’t many of such games from NetEnt either. So far, similar cartoon-themed games have failed to grab my attention or keenness, except for South Park and South Park Chaos, which managed to keep my interests going for quite a while. With When Pigs Fly game, on the other, I let it flew off without me! Hahaha.

This Wild Worlds game looked pretty interesting at first glance, so that got me curious, and got me looking further into it. That’s when I saw the various different feature games available to be had, both during base game play as well as during the free spins play, and that got me intrigued. Yeah, that also got my wallet opened and out went twenty USD! Oh gees, hehehe.

There are many features in this game, but I won’t go into too much details into each of them, touching only on the important-to-know aspects. There are 3 Heroes, and each has it’s own special feature, randomly activated during base game play - one colour symbols would remain, others would be removed, and new symbols would then drop in. During free spins play, these 3 Heroes would attack the Monsters and their Bosses in different ways too, with their low-damage and high-damage blows. Very interesting indeed! At times, it even got me behaving like Jack in his beanstalk game, saying “yeah!” with each attacking blow to the Monsters, hahaha.

But wait…that’s not all of it yet…the best is yet to be told! Getting 3 Scatters would award 8 free spins and a spin of a wheel, to determine which of the 3 Worlds would be played first – the Ice World, the Fire Lands or the Dark Forest. Once again, each World has it’s own special Wild symbols – Heavy Wilds, Random Wilds and Spreading Wilds, won by defeating the Monsters and their Bosses, and getting additional extra free spins too. You’d get to know better on how each World’s Wild symbols can create wins when you have played this game a few times. Wild Worlds is one game that cannot be played just one time, or you’d never know what the other Worlds can do or give!

Needless to say, I had to give this game several separate plays, just to get to know all the different features, and getting burnt at some point too! When it plays good, this game can be exhilarating and exciting. If not, be prepared to get lots of empty spins and blardy small wins, whilst waiting for the big event to come! You may like it or hate it, but I like it, although I have yet to get any big wins from it! Hehehe.

One of the first slots in a while from Netent with a cartoon graphic style with a futuristic fee. Graphics wise the slot looks brilliant. You’ll see superheroes pink bird, blue bird and green bird inside their headquarters. To the right is the reel set which is played on a 5 by 5 grid, which you can form wins by getting 3 or more symbols horizontally, vertically. Would have been nice if the slot can give wins diagonally, which reminds me of cloud quest.


Symbols on the reel's are gemstones from the various superheroes with their respective colours as well as gemstones depicting the superheroes faces which are the heroes symbol. The crown like symbol is the high value symbol giving you 5, 25 or 100 times your stake for 3, 4 or 5 on a payline. The same payouts are available for the wild which substitutes for every symbol but the scatter.


When you get a winning combination with any of the 3 hero symbols, all remaining symbols of the same hero colour will transform into wilds helping you form more winning combinations. The game has a destroy feature which is triggered randomly during any non-winning spin, similar to Viking Runecraft or Gemix or even Moon Princess for that matter. The destroy feature destroy 2 colour symbol leaving only the remaining colour hero and gem symbols on the reels.


3 scatter symbols on the reels will grant you 8 free spins with 3 free spins worlds. You spin the wheel to see which world you will enter, which will be either Ice World, Fire Lands or Dark Forest. In the feature, there are both heroes and monsters present with heroes attacking the monsters. Any wins during the feature will result in damage being dealt to 1 or several monster and same apply for the bosses.


To give you the various extras within each world, the heroes need to destroy any of the monsters or bosses' weak spots. The respective feature is awarded on the next Avalanche and extra wild symbols are added to the reels. Once you defeat the monsters and the boss you can enter other worlds with 8 additional spins. The extra worlds include:


- Ice World (Heavy Wilds): A stack of 2 heavy wilds will be placed randomly on the reels. If part of a winning combo, they will complete it and then destroyed.

- Dark Forest (Spreading Wilds): A spreading wild is randomly added to the reels. If part of a win, it explodes along with other symbols with new spreading wilds generated on adjacent positions. Each spreading wild can give you up to 2 spreading wilds.

- Fire Lands (Random Wilds): between 2 and 4 random wilds are added randomly to the reels. If the wilds are part of a win, they will explode along with nearby symbols. Symbols that land where the random wilds were will become wild. Random wilds also remain on the reels if they are not part of a win.


I like the slot and its low to medium variance. However to win x200 in free spins, will take a good 15 minutes of your time, the free spins feature can be dragged out.
