The roar of a lion and an African, tribal piece of music welcomes you to the Wild Gambler slot game. The music follows you throughout the game, providing the perfect atmosphere and charge to your gameplay. The reels of this product from Playtech are filled with various different animals that could be expected to be seen on the African plains, such as the aforementioned lion, a rhinoceros, a cheetah, a zebra and a flamingo. The remainder of the icons are standard video slot symbols of numbers and letters.
Wild Gambler features five reels of symbols and three rows alongside. There’s a total of 20 separate paylines included, and these are unable to be customised. The stake per line is able to be altered at the bottom from the lowest value of $0.01 up to the highest of $50, which allows players to place a maximum wager of $1,000 per spin, should they so choose.
Bonus Games and Special Features
The main feature of this game is its wild symbol, represented by the king of the beasts, the lion. This will stand in for other symbols on the reels to create a winning combination. However, the game also features a Lock & Spin button, which allows you to play the game in your own way. By this, you can click on any icon on the reels and change it into a wild. By doing so, and following up with the Lock & Spin button, you’ll keep the wilds in place for the spin. Of course, your wager is altered depending upon the amount of wilds included on the reels at the beginning. However, with this feature, you can choose any configuration of locked wilds to your own preferences.
On any spin, between one and five meerkats can appear randomly. Should five of these appear across the reels, eight free spins are awarded, and any wilds that are locked in place when this is triggered will be held there for the duration of the free spins round. Furthermore, any new wilds that appear during this round will also automatically lock in place.
Summary
Wild Gambler is a unique game in its own right, thanks to the ability to play the game in your own personal way with the Lock & Spin button. The accompanying free spins, as well as the addition of the tribal music and top quality graphics make this product as compelling, if not more-so, than others.
