Wild Energy

Wild Energy Overview

Wild Energy offers a theme that you wouldn’t expect to see in 2020 particularly as it is from the team at Booming Games. The slot sees the return of the traditional lucky 7s which are joined by a lot of other well-known symbols which most players will be familiar with. There is no reason to worry though as the slot offers modern features and is not as basic as many of the old slots.

Design and Theme

The theme of this slot is simple and made me think that the developers should have spent a little more time crafting this. The way that they have incorporated classic symbols with the royals, with these all offering the same design and colour scheme.

Symbols

When it comes to the symbols the wild is represented by the slot logo that has an energy bolt in the background. There is not a great selection when it comes to the symbols and apart from the wild you can expect to see lucky 7s, Bells, Diamonds, Triple Bar logos and the usual playing cards making up the lower selection of symbols.

Let’s Play

The slot is played using a 6x4 reels set along side 25 active pay lines proving right from the start that this is not a usual set up. Wild Energy will provide you with a highly volatile game experience with a return to player of 95.45% which didn’t impress me much.

With these old fashion symbols being used you may not expect much when you first fire up the slot, however it is a different story once you get the reels spinning and you will see that first impressions can be most deceiving. When you play the standard game, you can win up to 72x when you line up identical symbols on any of your active pay lines. This is good when you are playing with the highest bet limit as this will lead to an instant prize of €5400 which is not bad in the grand scheme of things, however this is small compared to the real potential this slot has to offer. The major features are all in play in Wild Energy which includes regular, sticky or random wilds as well as re-spins.

Features

Although there are several features on offer in this slot unfortunately there is nothing unique and it is the wilds that really keep the action coming and can also expand and cover the reels in full. There are also re-spins which can be triggered when the wilds are in place on your reels. The wilds then turn sticky for the round and the re-spins continue all the time you land new wilds on your reels. This is made even better with the chance to land multipliers applied with the wilds to give you even better wins.
Let’s start by looking at the random wild feature as they can not only substitute for all of the regular symbols listed in the pay table landing a minimum of seven wilds will provide you with a win that is 200x the stake that you have bet. This is relatively easy to do as the random wilds can activate at any time and when it does you are awarded 6 wilds as standard.

Next there is the wild reels and bursting wild reels where the wild reels can reward you with boost multipliers of 2x, but these will only land on your 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th reels. The bursting wild reels will only show up on your 3rd and 4th reels and they can turn one or two adjacent reels completely wild.
Finally, there is the chance to land the endless re-spins feature where if you land re-spin symbols on both your 2nd and 5th reels the re-spin comes into play provided you land 1+ on each spin. The grid will expand to a 7x4 grid with 3 fixed wild reels which can really help to boost your win potential.

Why you should play

There is no doubt that the re-spins are in my opinion the best feature as you get the opportunity to play unlimited spins for free. The stunning animation make the slot easy on the eye and thanks to the fixed wilds it makes landing wins a whole lot easier. If you are looking for a modern slot that offers a completely different style of play, then Wild Energy is the one for you.
