Well of Wilds Megaways Review

Most Irish Luck themed slots are filled to the brim with Leprechauns and all sorts of Emerald Island clichés. It’s therefore very refreshing to see an Irish-themed game where all that has been toned down a bit. Well of Wilds Megaways builds on the predecessor, Well Of Wishes, but both the gameplay and the visual presentation has been upgraded in significant ways in this release.

The animated wishing well backdrop is cleverly done, and the wild transformation feature plays a central part also in this follow-up release. The Megaways engine, combined with Cascading Reels and wild modifiers, keeps the base game interesting, while you wait to trigger the Lucky Spins round. Finally, Red Tiger has managed to release a game with a sound math model, as both the RTP and the potential are on par with what you might expect from this engine.

Well of Wilds Megaways Features

You can land Lucky Coins on the 4 middle reels, and these act as wild symbols in the base game. This means that they step in for all regular pay symbols to help you form winning combos, and you also have the Well of Wilds modifier symbol that can land on the 4 middle reels. When this happens, 2 randomly chosen symbol types on the same reels are turned into wilds for the cascade that might follow.

The Cascading Reels mechanic means that winning symbols are removed, and new or existing symbols drop from above to fill the gaps.

This can lead to indefinite extra wins on a single paid spin, and it’s a very common feature in Megaways engine games.

The Lucky Spins bonus round is triggered when you land at least 3 Lucky Spin scatters anywhere in sight during the same cascade. You get 9 free spins from the minimum of 3 scatters, while each extra scatter on top of that awards +3 extra spins up to 18 at the most. All wins will increase the progressive multiplier by +1, up to a maximum of x40. Any symbol type that turns wild will remain that way until the feature ends.

Lucky Coins are still wild, but they will now be collected in a meter above the reels whenever they land. You need to collect 5 to trigger the Lucky Wishes feature.

The Wishing Well can then award 3 to 6 extra spins, Well of Wilds or double the current win multiplier. The Well of Wilds modifier can turn up to 3 symbol types wild for the duration of the bonus round, and up to 2 in a single trigger.

You get a good taste of the base game the first 1 and a half minutes, and then we trigger the Lucky Spins bonus round. We managed to rack up a very solid multiplier after a while, not least due to the Lucky Wishes feature, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

We’ve criticized Red Tiger many times for allowing the math model to ruin otherwise good games, and it looks like they’ve finally taken this to heart. At least as far as Well of Wilds Megaways is concerned, cause this is a solid release through and through. Set in a wishing well filled with 4-leaf clovers and coins at the bottom, the somewhat understated Irish Luck theme is presented in a more subtle and intriguing way than what you might be used to.

The base game offers just enough features to keep you going, but the Lucky Spins bonus round is undoubtedly the big highlight here. Collecting coins that are thrown into the Wishing Well is not only clever, but the modifiers you get can really make an impact. Doubling the multiplier can take things to a sudden new level, and extra spins and wilds are certainly helpful too. The 9,997x potential is on par, and it’s rare to see a Red Tiger release with an RTP of 95.67 %.

Pros

• Wild transformation feature
• FS w/ progressive win multiplier
• Collect coins to get 3 modifiers
• Win up to 9,997x your stake

Cons

• Relatively low symbol values
• Max bet is only £10 per spin
