Wilderland

Wilderland takes you deep inside a magical forest, where you’re surrounded by all the quiet noises you can reasonably expect from enchanted territory. And enchanted it certainly is, the entire game is steeped in Elven magic and mysterious enchantments. The magical theme will be a strong draw for many players, and fantasy never ceases to pull in crowds.

The symbols across the glittering reels include the usual hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs, but these have been beautifully designed to look like fallen autumn leaves. There’s also rings, necklace pendants, bow and arrows and sleek foxes. The star of the show, an Elven princess, is also a symbol on the reels. With sleek blonde hair and a glittering crown, this woodland royalty is the highest paying symbol of the entire game – with 1, 2.5 or 6 times your stake for 3, 4 or 5 across any of the 20 paylines (yeah – not great, but we discuss this more below).

The sound effects are all formed of gentle tinkling and quiet clinking. In the background ethereal and gentle music plays on. The entire effect is very soothing, and I was more than happy to keep the tunes playing for this one.

There are three different special features that work together to keep this slot entertaining. Multiple slot features always encourage a certain level of player excitement as each promises enhanced wins. Let’s see how they work and find out if they offer something solid beyond a little fairy dust.

The maximum bet in this game is C$400, which would make it an ideal gambit for high rollers and big risk takers. Unfortunately the low to medium volatility and 240 times the maximum bet limit tell a very different story. It’s unlikely that players will want to put so much money on the line for such a small potential payoff. The low values are a recurring theme with Wilderland.

Even looking at individual symbol values will wipe the magical sheen off this glittering game. The top paying symbol can only muster up the reward of 6 times your bet, and that’s only if you’re lucky enough to line up 5 of the suckers. So where oh where are the big prizes hiding? For a chance to get in on the 240 x payout (that’s C$960,000 if you’re mad enough to play at C$400 per spin) you’ll need to access the bonus game. Here a combination of walking wilds and multipliers will work to get you those large wins, but don’t bank on this game for your college fund.
