Wild Coaster

Wild Coaster Review

The first rollercoaster was built in Russia in the 17th century, while the first US rollercoaster was built to distract and save people from a certain entity. It’s safe to say that these wild rides have only increased in popularity since then, and you are invited to join the fun in their Wild Coaster slot. The top and bottom reels slide in as rollercoaster carts, and this is where you can land semi-sticky wilds with up to 3 lives per wild.

The wilds can expand to cover full reels as well, but only when they align on both the top and bottom sliding reels. You get a progressive win multiplier in all stages of the game, and it increases per consecutive cascading win in the base game. It will only keep building in the bonus round, and it comes with no upper limit. This can lead to payouts up to 16,465x your stake, and this highly volatile game is sure to give you some ups and downs.

Wild Coaster Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 1 and 4 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and symbols that are larger than 1x1 still count as one symbol in win calculations. The Wild symbol steps in for all pay symbols to help complete and/or improve wins, and it can appear on the top and bottom extra reels only.

Winning symbols are removed via the Cascading Wins mechanic, and the gaps are filled by new and/or existing symbols dropping down from above. The Win Multiplier starts at x1 for each base game spin, and it increases by +1 per consecutive cascading win.

Wild symbols appearing on the top and bottom reel will land with 2 or 3 wilds stacked on top of each other. The wild symbol on top of the stack is destroyed when the wild partakes in a win, and this goes on until all wilds are used up. The final wild will then be destroyed with the other winning symbols. If wilds appear in the same position on both the bottom and top reel, all symbols in between turn wild as well.

The Bonus Round triggers from 4+ scatters anywhere in view in the same cascading sequence, and this gives you 10 free spins. You also get +2 additional spins per additional triggering scatter above the minimum of 4. The win multiplier increases by +1 per cascading win, and it never resets for as long as the bonus round lasts. All wilds remain in place until used in a win, or until the bonus round ends.

On a final note, non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can purchase the bonus round via the Bonus Buy Menu. This will set you back 75x your stake, and you then get at least 4 triggering scatters on the spin that follows.

Review Summary

Wild Coaster is a decent installment , a developer that is known for making mobile friendly games with dynamic reels, cascading wins, and increasing multipliers. These are the main ingredients in this game as well, in addition to the semi-sticky expanding wilds feature. The top and bottom reels slide in like a rollercoaster, which is neat, and wilds can have up to 3 “lives” before being removed with whatever winning symbols they became part of.

You get expanding wilds with up to 3 lives as well, and this can keep your winning streak going in all stages of the game. Things are taken up a notch in the bonus round, as the win multiplier only keeps building for as long as the feature lasts. In addition, wilds remain sticky until used in a win, and they still come with up to 3 lives. This increases your chances of expanding wilds as well, and the max win of 16,465x is unusually solid for this developer. The advertised max win is 50,000x, which seems unrealistic since 16,465x was achieved only once in 1 billion simulated spins.
