Simply Wilder Slots

Nothing beats the wild side of life and you can now experience some wild action by playing the Simply Wilder fruit machine from Novomatic. Head back to the days where fruit machines were found in every saloon bar up and down the country, where gameplay was uncomplicated and offered great winning combinations just by spinning the reels.

Simply Wilder fruit machine is a 5 reel, 15 payline slot featuring 2D symbols with great paying potential. Retro symbols collide on the reels and offer additional ways of winning – compared to your standard online fruit machines. Spin from 40 coins or increase to a high rolling 10,000 coins to get your hands on the biggest cash on offer – the 500,000 coin jackpot.

Novomatic are notoriously known for releasing fruit machine slots with basic features, but that doesn’t stop the punters have a shot. Maybe it’s the ease of play, easy graphics and basic features offered that make them so popular – or it could be the big paying potential that’s packed into every symbol on the reels.

Fruity Feeling

The reels of the Simply Wilder slot machine take pride of place to the centre of the screen. Paylines are shown via 5 red and blue lines and the wilds are stamped to the top of each of the 5 reels. The message panel stretching the entire length of the machine and shows your balance, last win and a message of good luck and encouragement. Symbols on the reels include traditional fruit machine symbols – plums, oranges, pears, strawberries, watermelons, grapes, golden bells and red 7s. Some of the symbols also feature white stars, these offer additional benefits as explained later-on in the review.

Fruitful Winnings

There is a 500,000-coin jackpot waiting to be won and you can trigger this by betting maximum stakes of 10,000 coins as spin. Land a 3 of a kind combination of any symbols bearing a white star and that jackpot will be all yours. So, playing in coins may seem quite confusing, but it’s relatively simple to understand – 40 coins minimum stakes equates to 0.40 in cash, so the maximum stakes of 10,000 coins will set you back 100.00 in cash. Remaining symbols on the reels can award between 80 and 160 coins for minimum stakes and 20,000 and 40,000 coins for high rolling players.

Fruity Features

So, when it comes to playing fruit machines, you should already know that these offer nothing more but base game wins to keep you entertained, but Simply Wilder has an additional simple feature packed into the symbols that can boost your bankroll drastically. The symbols with the white stars are wilds – this means they will replace all other symbols on the reels to help create winning combinations.

There is one other feature that you probably weren’t expecting – a gamble feature. Any base game win will allow you to gamble for more, but one incorrect guess will lose you everything, so be careful and know when to cash out. You will be taken to a new screen with a flashing deck of face down cards. Choose red or black for the next suit and if you guess correctly, your coin value from your base game win will be doubled. Guessed right? Congratulations – the next step is for you to decide to take your winnings or go on for more.

Fruity Verdict

For those of you who love lots of different bonus features to make your gameplay seem very exciting and unsuspecting – you won’t enjoy the basic offerings of the Simply Wilder fruit Machine. Novomatic like to keep things simple and this means no features – just base game wins. When we played this medium to high variance slot, it was clear that you need to give the machine plenty of attention before it spits out its wins.

Playing in coins may confuse many players, but the paytable shows you just how much you can win and makes things seem a little more easier to understand. In terms of wins, unless you trigger the jackpot (which is highly unlikely), the only other prizes you can win are just 20,000 and 40,000 coins – which is rather miserable when you are staking 10,000 coins a spin – and then you have to create a 3 of a kind to trigger them. Those players with a small bankroll will do well to spin for as low as possible, but your bankroll won’t last long – trust us.
