The Wild Life Introduction
With the sound of African drums in your ears and the hazy reds and oranges of the game’s theme, it’s hard not to get caught up in the drama of the plains. But just as you would on a safari, it’s important that players stay cool and collected. Whereas IGT's The Wild Life is low on small steady wins, it’s high on drama.
This high-variance game means every spin could land you a big prize, no matter whether the machine is due to pay out or not. So keep your wits about you and keep your eyes peeled. The big jackpot could spring out any minute.
Expanding Your Horizons
For lovers of a wild card, the wild symbol in this game is the lion. This wild can land anywhere in the middle three reels and can expand to fill the reel. Played in combination with the free spins feature, these wilds are the best way to land the big trophy animals.
Free Spins Feature
The free spins feature in The Wild Life is accessed when three or more African continent scatter symbols show up. Land three scatters anywhere on the reels and get 10 free spins at your current stake value. Four scatters mean that you get 15 free spins, and five scatters result in 20 free spins. What’s more, if a scatter shows up during the free spins feature, players will get an additional two free spins at their current stake level.
A Game Worth Playing?
The Wild Life is well designed and can be played from just about anywhere as long as you have an internet connection. Try it out on your mobile, tablet and home or office desktop computer, and you’ll see there’s very little difference in quality. For many players, the time gaps between wins might be a little off-putting, but then this game is saving up for the big wins. Aside from the lack of small wins, it also seems a long wait to see even one scatter or wild symbol. But when they do land, they certainly pay off.
Grab Your Binoculars!
You could be forgiven for thinking this game scores low on the entertainment level, but this is a serious game for serious players. The prizes seem few and far between, but there are rewards for those willing to stay patient. The locked wilds during the free spins feature really turn this game into a big money-spinner. But just like a big game safari, patience is the name of the game here.
