REVIEW OF WILD FALLS SLOT MACHINE
After the high volatility, 4,096 ways to win thrills and spills of Raging Rex, Play’n Go change the setting for their next slot to a Gold Rush era mining town, Ã la Bonanza, replete with rinky-dink banjo music! Wild Falls may not reach the dizzying heights of high-variance lunacy that Big Time Gaming’s legendary slot does, but it’s still jam-packed with multipliers and free spins, with a very respectable 10,000x payout potential.
Symbols, Gameplay, and Pay Tables
The waterfall that serves as the backdrop to this slot must be called Wild Falls. The reel set is perched on a raging river. The visuals are basic and do not appear to be extremely high-end.
The lantern, the pick and shovel, the pan, and the bag of gold are among the low-value symbols – Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and 10 – as well as premium symbols – the lantern, the pick and shovel, the pan, and the bag of gold. The latter is the most valuable symbol, earning 25 times for five on a payline.
Keep an eye out for the Chest symbols, which act as wilds and scatters. They’re significant since they can not only start the free spins round, but they can also turn gold and become multipliers at any time throughout the main game or bonus round.
Wild Falls Features
Gold Rush Feature
During the base game, Gold Rush can happen at any time. The Chest symbols are gold in color and have multipliers of 2x, 3x, or 5x. They only appear on the second, third, and fourth reels. The Gold Chests and Multipliers are still available for re-spins. This bonus allows you to land a 5x multiplier on reels 2, 3, and 4 to generate a super-charged 125x multiplier.
Feature: River of Gold Free Spins
To activate the Free Spins feature, you must land three chests on the reels in a single game. This activates the River of Gold Free Spins feature. Each spin will cause the chest symbols to walk one row down the board until they reach the bottom. The free spins will continue until there are no more Chest symbols on the reels.
Featured in Super Rivers of Gold
A Super Rivers of Gold Free Spins round is also available. To activate the Gold Rush feature, you must land three Gold Chests on the reels at the same time. For the duration of the free spins, all Gold Chests remain gold and retain their multiplier values. With each spin, the chests travel down the reels until there are none left. Here, too, a total multiplier value of 125x is possible.
The Final Word on Slots
Wild Falls is a Play n Go game with a low house edge and a high volatility. It all comes down to the multipliers and free spins round. You can get some respectable wins in the regular game owing to combined multipliers of up to 125x, but the big, big winnings of up to 10,000x will only come if you were lucky enough to land in the Super Rivers of Gold extra feature. And that will take some time and money!
