Wild Rescue Slot Review

The adventure of climbing up a mountain, or even of skiing down the side of one is probably one of the most amazing and liberating experiences on the planet. Standing atop a great peak and witnessing the whole world below you has to have some sort of karmic effect to it. However, what happens when something goes wrong on your journey up, or down that peak? Suppose you lose your way. Or perhaps you fall while skiing down the side, breaking your leg in the process. Well, that’s when you’ll be in need of a wild rescue, and that’s exactly what Novomatic brings to you in this game. It’s clear to see that the location of this product is within a snowy country, as the reels are backed and surrounded by the icy winter flakes, which provides a wonderfully thematic tone to it. And while the music included isn’t of the developer’s usual affair, it still doesn’t really provide much of an atmosphere to the product, which is a little unfortunate seen as it seems to have a solid theme to work with in this one.

The Team Are on Their Way

The game incorporates five different reels and three rows into its interface, which is a fairly standard layout for an online video slot. On these reels, you’ll find various different character icons, all whom seem to be looking to have fun in the snowy mountains. There’s the green-coated snowboarder, and the pink-donned skier in the first instance, both of whom are awaiting their chance to slide down the slope. In addition, Wild Rescue also includes a man in orange, who is already in the process of skiing down the mountain side, as well as a man in red who seems mightily pleased with himself. Making up the remainder of the standard symbols are the usual A, J, K, Q and 10 icons.

Alongside its layout, the game has a total of 30 separate pay lines included in it, and these are completely fixed in place, not able to be customised at all. However, you can change around the amount of the wager that you place, simply by using the plus and minus buttons at either side of the amount currently shown. This begins from its minimum value of $0.30, and will easily increase up to the very maximum of $90 per spin. In addition, there’s also an ‘Autoplay’ button, which will allow you to spin several consecutive rounds of the game at the same wager level.

Hold on! Your Rescue Is Coming!

The first feature of this game that players will most likely notice is the ‘Tumble Feature’. This is triggered whenever you secure a winning combination during the main game. This basically sees all the icons included in the win disappear off the reels to make way for some new ones, which will fall into their place. During this, if the aforementioned skier in red shows up, he will transform into a golden wild icon, and as such, he will substitute for all other icons on the reels to form a win, except bonus trigger icons.

There’s also an ‘Avalanche Feature’ added to this one, which triggers only after three tumbles have occurred. This sees two to 15 wild symbols randomly added to the game play area, and this will provide you with more opportunities for creating winning combinations.

Furthermore, gamers will be able to access the ‘Extreme Skier Freespins Bonus’ round by spinning three bonus trigger icons in scattered positions on reels one, three and five. This icon is represented by the rescue helicopter, and the bonus round sees six extreme skiers awarded to you. These are displayed as ‘waiting to ski’, and during each freespin, at least one of them will drop down into the game. Each of these skiers is a wild icon and will act as such in the freespins round.

Ready for Wild Rescue?

Despite this game being a Novomatic product, it features rich graphics and a great theme. It’s got various different special features, all of which add up to make it ever more compelling to play and enhance your personal gaming experience. On the whole, it’s a great product from the developer.
