Wild Gambler Online Slot Review

With this many deadly animals around, it's perhaps for the best that the Wild Gambler slot machine keeps things simple. The five-by-three reel set lends its hand to 20 paylines that cannot be altered, with players able to modify their bet amount per spin from 0.01 to 5.00 per turn. The Wild Gambler slot game features a cavalcade of animal symbols – Noah would be able to fill his Ark no problem! A flamingo, zebra, leopard and rhino sit alongside the playing card icons. Noah preferred his animals two by two, but slot gamers will definitely be up for three or more given the size of these pay-outs.

There's one further main game character to consider. That’s the lion and he, naturally, is wild. As well as substituting for all other symbols to help make up winning combos, five of this beast pays a whopping 1,000 coins.

There are two special features in the Wild Gambler slot game, and the first – the free spins round – takes it from being a good game to an excellent one. The second feature, Lock & Spin, elevates the title to ‘outstanding’ territory. First, the free spins round. This is triggered by one curious little chap we are yet to meet, the meerkat, who appears randomly on your reels. Five meerkats reward players with eight free spins, and these are played on the same gameboard, with the same paytable, as normal. However, there is one obvious exception – all wilds will lock in place for the duration of your free spins.

But it's the Lock & Spin feature that might be new to some slot gamers, and it's this that really captures the imagination. Any wilds that appear on your reels, at any time, can be locked in place; just hit the Lock & Spin button to hold them. They'll then stay locked for your next spin, but be warned that your stake amount will go up (this is displayed on screen). Players can even add wilds when they want to ramp up the excitement. Just hover over any square on the gameboard to see the cost involved.

The Wild Gambler slot game is an adventure you won't want to miss. Unless you prefer the cold, then Wild Gambler Arctic Adventure is more for you.
