Wild Berry 3 Reel Slot Machine
There is a big contrast between the 5 reel video slot with the Wild Berry theme and this traditional 3 reel version. This one recreates that live slot feeling, with lots of subtle touches involving both sounds and graphics. It is a simple game, and will appeal to those who feel that slots have veered too far from their original concept with the constant interruptions and bonus games that are common today. What does remain is the berries! These can still win you significant prizes, though you will need to line them up on the single win line which goes across the middle of the 3 reels.
Graphics are very thoughtfully reproduced, as you would expect from a Saucify slot. It is the little details which can make or break a 3 reel slot, and this one definitely shows that those details have been considered. The curve of the reels, slight kick-back as the reels stop and way that the wins flash all recreate the original games. The sounds include an ‘at the casino’ babbling background, with people talking and playing on other slots. The sound of the reels spinning and stopping is very well done, and is accompanied by a different background sound effect. When you win, the part of the pay-table (which is fully displayed to the right of the reels) which you won from lights up.
The symbols are mostly based on different berries. There is a blackberry; strawberry and a couple of others which I am not too sure about (though look familiar!).
The only notable feature on this game is that the ladybird (or ladybug, depending on where you come from) symbol is wild. If this joins with some of the berries to complete a win, then that win is doubled with one ladybird, and quadrupled with 2 ladybirds.
Setup and Play for Wild Berry 3 Lines
There is not too much to consider when preparing to play this game. You need to choose your coin size and the number of coins per spin. It is important with 3 reel slots to play the max number of coins, as the top win is usually proportionally bigger. This is the case with this game, with 3 ladybirds winning 1200, 2400 and 4000 for 1, 2 and 3 coins. Those extra credits for max coins make a big difference to your wins over time – and of course you’ll be even happier those times you go land the top prize.
After the ladybirds, the different berry symbols make up the wins. Assuming 3 coins you can win 240 for the green one, 150 for the orange berry, 90 for the strawberry, 30 for the blackberry, 30 for what looks like a young acorn and 15 for any 3 mixed. Minor wins come from 2 or even 1 of the acorns, with 15 and 6 credits respectively. Remember, the ladybird included in any of these wins means 2x of 4x the listed prize.
Wild Berry 3 Reel Slot – Conclusion
A solid game and much better produced than many 3 reel slots I have played from other software houses. The attention to detail in the graphics and the sounds make the difference for me – though I’m not so sure that the background babble needs to be quite that loud. Having wild ladybirds does add a little interest to the game, with 4x wins possible as well as the top prize of 4000 credits. Having one win-line is never going to lead to the most excitement possible, though for those who prefer solid traditional slots this one is definitely worth a spin.
