Wild Expedition slot review


Wild Expedition slot by Red Tiger, it's immediately obvious that it's yet another of their now tedious stacked-symbol 30-liners. The theme too is tired as we see yet another explorer-type character in his bush hat this time in the South American jungle as opposed to Egypt as with the original in the Book of Ra slot, later copied for spectacular success by Play'n Go with Book of Dead slot which gave the intrepid explorer a name, Rich Wilde! Pragmatic got in on the act with their chap, John Hunter who also appeared in this very region of the world in John Hunter and The Mayan Gods slot. I won't even bother describing the music and sound effects as we've heard them all before multiple times. Can we get some wild returns for our bankroll here or will it be an expedition to doom?

On the reels...
You get 5 reels and 4 rows with stacked symbols and 30 pay lines on Wild Expedition slot. The 5-of-a-kind pays are Nick the Explorer Wild 10x bet, Nick 6x, Cara 5x, Mask 4x, Magnifying Glass 3x, Bag 2x and 4 card suits of 1.5 down to 0.6 for 5OAK. You get random modifiers, firstly Jungle Treasure in that Nick may appear over the game to add himself to the reels for big wins or add 2 scatters and secondly Wild Kiss where Cara will appear to turn all Nick symbols Wild locking them in for another spin too. The final symbol is a free spins scatter on all reels.

Free Games
Landing 3 scatters awards 10 spins with +5 for each extra one. No retriggers but all Wilds remain locked in place for the duration and Cara can blow her Wild Kiss still. We are told that 2101x bet is the maximum possible win during testing so not a hugely volatile game.

Our View...
For a relatively simple game of 95.67% RTP Wild Expedition slot isn't terrible to play. It has a low win frequency as the average win is quite high due to the Wild feature here. The sounds, graphics and animations are good enough not to bore you so overall this slot is fun to play. A full screen of Wilds only pays 300x bet so its potential lies in building the screen up with the sticky Wilds in the free games which don't trigger easily! When they do, they usually pay something worthwhile so it can be worth persisting with the game, hopefully not losing too much along the way with regular Wild features. This slot may not prove to be a fruitless expedition after all...
