Captain Wild

Review

This superhero slot aims to offer engaging gameplay. It features 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 fixed paylines.

The theme allows players to enjoy a showdown. Unfortunately, the slot’s graphics are surprisingly rough.

Let’s examine the mathematical model. Its volatility is medium-high, and you’ll get a win every three spins on average due to its 32.20% hit frequency. Low rollers can jump in for bets as low as £0.10 per spin, while the most you can risk per one round is £15. Regardless of your bet level, you’ll always get to play for a sweet 5,763x jackpot, though the theoretical RTP is only 95.30%.

Slot Features

This slot offers a set of 10 pay symbols, and we’re happy to report that its paytable is dynamic, which means that you can always check what the actual payouts for your set bet level are. The pay symbols are then divided into 4 low pays, 4 mid pays and 2 high pays. For low pays, there are your usual card ranks from Jacks to Aces, and you can get as much as 3x your bet for a set of five. Then, there are newspapers, blasters, fists and bombs, which are worth up to 5x your bet for a combination. Finally, there are rings and landscape symbols, with the latter paying out 25x your bet for a full set.

To spice things up, there are also 3 special symbols that you can find on the reels - Mystery symbols, Captain symbols and Villain Scatters. Mystery symbols always turn into matching symbols once the reels stop spinning, while Captain symbols can replace any of the pay symbols in order to complete winning combinations.

Notably, none of your spins will go to waste. All spins without a win will add a bit to the Progress Bar, which is located to the left of the playing field. Once you fill it entirely, you’ll trigger the Intergalactic Wheel feature, which has the form of a small bonus wheel mini game.

You’ll then get to pick between Captain and the villain. The wheel will spin, and you’ll want it to land on a segment that matches your pick. If it does, you’ll collect the segment’s bet multiplier and get another shot. The mini game continues until you either miss or collect a total payout of 100x.

Landing 3 Villain Scatters triggers the Free Spins feature with a virtually unlimited number of free spins. After each free spin, the villain will show up and place radioactive substances on one or more reels. The feature ends once all reels become radioactive, but the good news is that you can land Captain symbols to remove radioactivity from one of the reels and even special Super symbols to remove radioactivity from all reels.

Those special symbols also increase your free spins win multiplier, so you’ll get both extra free spins and an increased win potential.

Review Summary

All in all, this is an online slot with both serious pluses and serious minuses. As for the pluses, we can highlight its intriguing theme, enjoyable free spins, and the fact that even no-win spins aren’t completely wasted. As for the minuses, we aren’t too happy about the slot’s RTP and its audiovisual presentation. They came close to making a great slot, but they missed the mark by a bit!
