Wild Adventure Slots
Pack your bags and leave your sense on inhibition at the door, because this slot machine is about to take you on the adventure of a lifetime. Wild Adventure by Novomatic is a 5-reel game with 30 fixed paylines and a series of adrenaline fuelled bonus games such as free spins and a unique “Wild Path” feature which boosts the chances of wild symbol wins.
Altogether, players can hope to win a base game jackpot of 150,000 credits with a chance to gamble wins up to a maximum of 4,500,000 coins.
Spin up some adventure
If you consider yourself as an adventurous type, then this slot machine will be right up your alley. That is because the Novomatic game features a couple of heroic adventurer characters from a male and female archaeological team. Now, when we say heroic, we don't mean that they have superpowers and wear brightly coloured tights, but that they are pretty nifty at collecting old artefacts and that they wear monochrome khaki suits. It's actually a little known fact that adventuring archaeologists wear such attire in order to numb the minds of anyone who stands in their way.
The narrative of the game is simple. These two do-good relic hunters are on a mission to retrieve some glowing stone from some menacing looking fortress in some exotic country, probably at the displeasure of some British accented villain. Will they succeed? You'll have to spin the reels to find out!
Not the prettiest slot out there
Wild Adventure sits perfectly into the Novomatic repertoire in the fact that it offers the usual style of graphics. That is to say that the icons on the reels are illustrated with traditional style artwork with a minimal amount of special effects or animations. In fact, the game does present a bit of a hodgepodge of bold and conflicting colours, meaning that it's not the most aesthetically pleasing of slot machines on the market.
It's all taking the big risks
Going on an adventure often means taking yourself outside of your comfort zone and taking big risks, which is evident in this slot machine which asks players to play with a fixed number of 30 paylines. The lowest bet per line value is 2 credits, meaning that the smallest total bet possible is 60 credits, which doesn't exactly make for some cheap spins. And if you want to go all out for the big wins, players can place line bets worth 300 credits for a maximum total bet of 9,000.
All of the possible wins in Wild Adventure are created when three or more of the same symbols align upon any of those 30 paylines from left to right. This is apply a multiplier to the chosen “Bet/Line” value, as such:
Admittedly, the wins in that paytable may not look like the biggest in the business. However, players should remember that, with 30 paylines in play, wins are sure to come around on a rather frequent basis. Plus, players can hope that the “Wild Adventure” logo will help them to complete line wins for all of the other symbols in the paytable with its wild properties.
Forge a Wild Path to extra wins
Spinners can find more wild winning potential in this slot machine thanks to a “Wild Path” feature, which is triggered whenever a gold male and gold female character appear on the reels at the same time. When this happens, a plane will fly to connect to two characters while turning at least four symbols into wild icons along the way.
This feature is even more likely during the game's free spins round. In order to activate those 7 free spins, players simply have to find three bonus scatter icons – depicted by a compass symbol – on third, fourth and fifth reels.
The final verdict
Truth be told, there are many real money slot machines out there with much more exciting designs and bigger gameplay features than Wild Adventure. However, this video slot does hold its own with it classic archaeological adventure narrative and unique “Wild Path” feature, making it well worth a spin or two if you're after something with a bit of adrenaline.
