The Wild 3 - Slot Review

Im Slot machines "The Wild 3" from the house NextGen Are you headed to the Wild West, where bandits and cowboys abound. But with a little luck you can also win a considerable amount here.
How the game works and what cool bonus features await you in it, I'll tell you here.

Design

From a purely visual point of view, “The Wild 3” turned out very well. The game is played against the backdrop of an imposing western town. The playing field itself, on the other hand, has a modern, polished look. Although of course it only includes symbols that are known from the Wild West. If you win a large amount of money, a bulging safe appears, from which bills or gold bars fly, depending on the amount of the win. Just one of the many cool animations to look forward to in “The Wild 3”. The background music, on the other hand, does not want to fit in completely with the Wild West. Although it is upbeat and enhances the game, it would rather fit into an action adventure.

Gameplay

"The Wild West 3" is a classic slot that has 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 paylines. In contrast to most of the other slots, this game has a little story with it. The western town of Peaceville is haunted by a nasty crook in the form of a vulture. Now it is up to the "Wild 3" El Loco, T-Bone and Five Star to put the crooks down. In terms of its gameplay, however, "The Wild 3" does not differ from most other slots. Again, you have to spin at least three identical symbols on a win line.
It is interesting that NextGen chose not to use the classic card symbols in a game that played in the Wild West. Instead, the player has to deal with cactus, cactus flowers, a bundle of dynamite, gold bars, money bags, a game salon, a safe and the nasty vulture. Irony of fate: of all things, the top villain in the game is the symbol with the highest chance of winning. If it lands five times on a payline, it returns 25 times the bet.

Other special features

Wild symbols

In The Wild 3, as the name of the game suggests, there are three Wild symbols. These come in the form of the good heroes, Raccoon, Coyote, and Bull, and they are all capable of substituting all other symbols except for the Scattersymbol to replace. Also a mutual replacement of each other Wild symbols can not. Each wild symbol also comes with its own advantages. For example, if a coyote lands on reel 3, it turns all cacti into wild symbols. If a bull lands on the middle reel, all winnings achieved by the wild symbol are multiplied by a multiplier. This can be 2x, 3x, 5x or 10x. The raccoon, on the other hand, ensures that any bonus symbols (in the form of a wanted poster) that appear on the playing field at the same time are also replaced by raccoon wilds. The winnings achieved through the bonus symbols will of course still be credited to the player.

With luck, you can even collect all three different wild symbols on the field at the same time. In this case, there are all three wild benefits at the same time. However, such a scenario is rather unrealistic.

Lock'n Load Respins

The Lock'n Load Respins feature is another special feature of "The Wild 3". It is always triggered when the bonus symbol lands on reels 2 and 4 at the same time, but no wild symbol on reel 3. The reels 2 and 4 are now fixed, while reel 3 rotates up to 3 times. If a wild symbol appears on the reel in question, this means that the free spins feature is triggered.

Free spin feature

When the free spin feature starts, the wild symbol remains. which triggered the free spins exist. Each additional wild symbol that lands on reel 3 also remains and also brings with it another free spin.
The respective wild symbol benefits are also active within the free spins. With a little luck, there will be a multiplier up to 10 times. The free spins feature offers a total of 5 free spins.

SuperBet feature

The SuperBet feature is also used in the free spins. Here it is crucial with which use you play in the game. Because this is decisive for which wild symbols land on reel 3.

With stakes of € 0,10 to € 100 per spin: the raccoon game lies on reel 3
At stakes of 0,15 euros to 150 euros per spin: the raccoon game and the coyote game lie on reel 3
And with stakes of € 0,20 to € 200 per spin: all three wild symbols are on reel 3

Missions within the game:

In "The Wild 3" the player is confronted with several missions. For example, you have to multiply your stake by a factor of 25, set the reels in motion 100 times or trigger the free spins feature. If one of the numerous missions has been successfully completed, you can look forward to the “Rob the Rich Feature” as a reward.

Rob the rich feature

The Rob the Rich feature is a varied mini-game in which the player can choose 3 out of 15 money bags. Behind each money bag there is either a cash price, two additional options or a mystery symbol. The latter gives the player a 5 to 100-fold multiplier at random.

Small and big bets

NextGen's "The Wild 3" can be played for a fair 10 cents per spin, and the maximum bet is an impressive 200 euros per spin. With a bit of luck you can win up to 25.000 times your previous bet here payout ratio of the game ranges from 95,53% to 96,78%, which is an attractive range.

And finally ...

"The Wild 3" is definitely an unusual, varied and nicely staged slot. However, in my opinion the game offers too many bonus features, so that even experienced casino fans quickly lose track of which combination of symbols actually triggers which feature. Anyone who loves extensive casino games will quickly take "The Wild 3" into their hearts. For inexperienced beginners, however, “The Wild 3” is not really suitable.
