The game uses the standard playing matrix consisting of 5 reels and 3 rows which is typical for video slots. 10 bet-lines give you double chances for wins as they pay both ways. You can adjust your stake to be between 0.10p and £100 per spin. Aurora Wilds includes an expanding wild symbol which activates re-spins. The game has many things in common with the popular super hit Starburst. Unlike it, this slot offers a jackpot feature.
Aurora Wilds uses the HTML5 framework. It is optimised to run on most advanced mobile and tablet devices as well as on desktopя. The maximal win that you can score in the game is 2,000 times your stake when winning the Grand jackpot. If you play with a stake of £60 you will win £200,000.
Travelling north, you can experience the celestial phenomenon Aurora. You do that through the perspective of the Atom Spin developer. In the background are panoramic mountain tops. There is also a lake which the bright northern lights illuminate, dancing in the night sky. These graphics, combined with the mysterious musical soundtrack, ensure a great gaming experience.
The symbols are a mixture of drawings of animals in Native American style and some typical for the classic slots. There are low-paying animal symbols: rabbits, horses, turtle, fish, and eagles with tribal design. You can land higher-rewarding classic ones such as bars and lucky sevens. The graphics are nice but not very impressive. Aurora Wilds is a game with medium volatility and a return to player of 96.2%.
On the playing grid, you will notice 5 tribal style symbols with a lower value. These are some common animal species in North America: rabbits, turtles, fish, horses, and eagles. Better payouts give you the lucky 7s and the bar classic symbols. The bar is the most rewarding one returning 25 times your stake when you land a combination of 5 on a pay-line. Two special symbols trigger the bonus features in the game. These are the Jackpot Wheel and the feathered diamond.
There is one feature that you can trigger every time you land a wild symbol on the grid. The wild appears only on the middle reels. It will expand to the whole reel and lock into place at the same time triggering a free re-spin. Succeed to land another wild during the re-spin. as a result, you will have another expanded and locked wild granting you another re-spin. This Re-spin feature goes on as long as you land more wilds and ends when you fail to land a wild during the free round.
Another extra feature is the Jackpot Wheel. You activate it when you land 3 gold wheel jackpot symbols simultaneously on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th reel. You will spin the jackpot wheel which guarantees one of the 4 fixed jackpot prizes. These are:
The highest win you can score through the Jackpot Wheel with the Grand jackpot. When you use the max bet allowed of £100 you can add a £200,000 cash reward!
Aura Wilds isn’t a very unique or original game. When we compare it to NetEnt’s Starburst its advantage is the chance it offers to win any of the 4 jackpots. The max payout of 2,000 times your stake adds more excitement to it and is a nice win for a medium volatility slot. Unfortunately, we can’t estimate how likely it is that to happen. The game offers common features and the payouts of the spins could be a bit better. Even though its RTP is fair and it would appeal to casual players. Try the video slot in September after its release and see for yourself if you like it.
