Wild Falls

Wild Falls is a 5-reel, 3-row slot that offers 20 fixes pay lines and plenty of potential. From the developers at Play ‘n’ Go who make it really easy to see why so many developers choose to produce with a mining theme. Gamblers are very similar to miners as their look for their fortune and don’t mind take risks on their quest to find it.

This pairing could be something to do with genetic fuelled characteristics of our ancestors making us more likely to gamble, or it could just be that we are all risk taking thrill seekers! Whilst it can be proved that gold rushes date back to ancient Egypt, it is the gold rushes in North America that are better known these days, and this is more likely due to all the blockbuster movies that have been released and cover this subject.

Wild Falls Overview

The slot is packed full, from the design of the reels to a completely thrilling narrative. Wild Falls takes players back to the gold rush which took place to the Yukon River area of Canada and this is also the picture that has been used for the backdrop of the slot. The virtual environment is cleverly designed and although it is simplistic it is immensely satisfying complete with subtle sound effects, such as the noise of cracking wood as the reels spin as well and the mood is captured totally by the soundtrack of an expertly played banjo.

Symbols, Features & Pay Table

There is no doubt that Wild Falls is a high variance slot offering a standard 96.50% return to player. However, you should bear in mind that Play ‘n’ Go allow for the operators to choose from predetermined RTP-settings, and this can vary dramatically in accordance with the market. Don’t let this put you off though as there is a huge amount of potential with this slot particularly as the wilds can be added to a multiplier that may reach x125. You can expect to come across the usual low paying standard playing card symbols 10 through to Ace which are all shaped liked rock faces.

There are lanterns, pans of gold, axes/shovels and bags of golden nuggets which follow on from the playing card symbols. You will want to land the gold nuggets as these reward x25 of your stake for landing 5 across a pay line. The wild is represented by a and this symbol is the centre of attention in this slot. Although the chest only makes an appearance on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th reels it does act as both the wild and the scatter. The base game has been made really interesting as it includes the randomly activated Gold Rush feature.

Once the feature is active the chests turn gold with x2, x3 or x5 multipliers attached for that spin and any subsequent re-spins until they fall off of the bottom row. Get lucky and land x5 multipliers on reels 2, 3 and 4 and you will bag x125 multipliers. Therefore, there is huge win potential that comes from outside the free spins feature.

Wild Falls Free Spins Feature

Wild Falls offers two different types of free spin features these being the River of Gold free spins and the Super River of Gold free spins. The first free spins feature sees three gold chests becoming active and they can either stick or move one space down with every spin, these free spins continue until there are no more chests showing in the reels. The Super River of Gold has three gold chests on the reels during the Gold Rush feature and this activates the Super River of Gold feature where all of the chests stay gold and have x2, x3 or x5 multipliers for the entirety of the free spins, the free spins then continue until there are no chests remaining on the reels.

Conclusion

Although there are no advanced animations or graphic and it will take a few spins before you truly understand what is going on, Wild Falls is simple and very straightforward. Thanks to the random feature in the base game there is a low bonus frequency with less RTP being given to the free spins. This is a great move though as it keeps players excited and making this an all-inclusive slot throughout. If high variance is your thing you definitely won’t be left disappointed as there is a total pay-out which could lead to you landing x10,000 of your stake. Don’t take our word for it, the wild is calling if you are brave enough.
