Wildlife Riches Review

Mascot Gaming are among the more ambitious companies on the market, and, if we are to be honest, we always enjoy looking at their latest releases. That’s because this team is full of interesting gameplay ideas, and it rarely uses old formulas. There are some fresh bits in Wildlife Riches as well, so let’s take a closer look at what this 5x4 slot with 1,024 ways to win actually offers!

The theme of Wildlife Riches is, of course, all about wild animals, and we like all the animated symbols that you can find on the reels here. That said, the overall visual style is a bit hit-or-miss, and some players might feel that the animal symbols look a bit childish.

Wildlife Riches Slot – Reels Screen

The volatility of Wildlife Riches is high, but there’s no official word about the slot’s jackpot. We can, however, tell you that the package comes with a high hit frequency of 34.10%, and that you can play for stakes between £0.25 and £5 by default. Sadly, the theoretical RTP of it all is then only 95.40%, which is two notches below average.

Wildlife Riches Slot Features

The paytable of Wildlife Riches offers a set of 9 pay symbols, and you can look forward to 5 low-paying symbols and 4 high-paying symbols. The game’s low-paying symbols show card ranks from Tens to Aces, and these symbols can net you up to 3.6x your bet for a five-of-a-kind combination.

For high-paying symbols, on the other hand, there are animated lynxes, foxes, bears and wolves. Wolves pay even in sets of just two, and you’ll get a nice 40x payout for five of them.

For specials, there are only Deer Wilds. These symbols can substitute for any of the pay symbols, and they always trigger the Wild feature upon landing. During the feature, they work as Walking Wilds, which means that they move to the right with each spin until they fall off the playing field.

Wildlife Riches Slot – Bonus Gameplay Screen

To the left of the playing field, you can find the Bonus Scale, which has 10 steps and which goes up by one step with each no-win spin that you get. Fill it, and you’ll trigger the Bonus Game, which you can also trigger via the Risk ‘n’ Buy option that’s available after each spin.

Note that each winning spin that you get resets the Bonus Scale, so things aren’t actually as simple as they might seem to be.

The Bonus Game itself is a Hold and Win feature of sorts, and it uses its own set of symbols. There are Multiplier symbols that improve your bet multiplier, Super Multiplier symbols that improve your bet multiplier by a lot, and Giant Multiplier symbols that have the biggest values of them all. Aside from these symbols, there are also Modifier symbols that multiply your total win, and Upgrade symbols that increase your max respins tally.

Your total win will be calculated and paid out once you run out of respins. If you fill the entire board before that happens, your remaining respins will be converted into extra Modifiers symbols.

Review Summary

All in all, we have some fairly mixed feelings about the Wildlife Riches slot. On one hand, its gameplay feels quite fresh, and we always enjoy games that offer animated symbols. On the other hand, the slot’s overall visual style is a bit hit-or-miss, and its theoretical RTP is only 95.40%, which is nothing to write home about.
