Wild Walker

Wild Walker Review

The game has 5 to 8 reels, 3 rows and 25 fixed pay-lines. You can play with wagers in the range of 0.25 and 125 per spin. The volatility is high and the RTP – 96.55%, which is promising. During the base game, you will have smaller wins since there are 5 reels and there are up to 5 symbols of a kind payout. In free spins, you have a chance to trigger 3 additional reels and win much more from 8 of a kind combinations. The jackpot win per spin is 4,900 times your stake, which is possible during free spins.

There are two bonus features in Wild Walker. One of them is the always present randomly chosen wild reel. It shifts position between spins. This is the Wild Walker feature. The most rewarding part is the Progressive Free Spins, which have 4 levels. You win 8 free rounds and can add an unlimited number more during them. Levels 2 to 4 you unlock with bonus symbols and you can win more expanding wild reels. You will have locked wild reels, roaming wild reels and up to 8 of a kind paying combinations.

The Design

The game has a distinctive horror theme, the reels are red. Around the grid you see fires burning in an apocalyptic place. Plenty of destruction rules in this zombie heaven. On them can land card symbols, 4 characters, potion pistols and potions. There is a walking wild reel with a zombie shifting positions one each spin. The characters are the mad professor, the nurse, the lady with a weapon and the man with a shotgun.

The soundtrack in the base game is dynamic and kind of funky with guitars and a melody playing. The images look like taken from a comics book. The free spins play on another setting and include 3 more reels for you to unlock. The soundtrack is quite bouncy and not at all in the horror spirit. You will see one of the characters standing next to the grid on the right. The background is in turquoise colour happening in the late evening.

Wild Walker Gameplay

The pay-table includes 4 card royals at the low end, 2 items and 4 characters, which are more rewarding. There are a bonus and a wild symbol.

The J, K, Q and A pay the same – 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 in lucky combination give you 0.16, 0.40, 1.20, 3.60, 8 and 20 times the stake respectively. The potion flasks symbol pays 0.32, 0.80, 3, 8, 20 and 60 times the stake for 3 to 8 on pay-lines. The potion gun returns 0.40, 1.20, 4.80, 12, 36 and 80 times your stake for 3 to 8 symbols in combinations.

The young lady is one of the premiums paying 0.60, 2, 8, 20, 60 and 120x stake for 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 symbols. The nurse grants wins of 0.80, 3, 12, 36, 80 and 200 times your stake for 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 symbols. Second in value is the man with the gun paying 1, 4, 16, 48, 120 and 280 times your stake for 3 to 8 symbols. The most rewarding of all is the mad professor symbol. He grants 1.20, 6, 20, 60, 180 and 400x stake for 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 symbols respectively.

There is a bonus symbol with the word itself that appears on all reels. The wild is the zombie taking a whole reel. It substitutes for all others except for the bonus symbol. You will see it always present covering a full reel and moving to a random reel on each spin.

In the base game, there are 5 reels and you can get 3 to 5 of a kind wins. This is true for the free spins on level 1. But, during the free spins from level 2 to 4, you can unlock up to 3 more reels and play with 8 if you are lucky. This means that you will be winning from 3 to 8 matching symbols and can get much larger payouts. To get wins you need 3 to 8 adjacently positioned identical symbols. They have to land on any of the 20 pay-line from the leftmost reel.

Wild Walker Features & Bonuses

The main attraction in the game and the way to score big wins is activating the Progressive Free Spins. You do this by landing 3 or more bonus symbols on the same spin. Hitting 3 bonus symbols give you 8 free spins and you will start from level 1. On the other hand, 4 triggering scatters give you 8 free games and you will start at level 2, which is much better.

During the free spins, you have 3 extra reels, which are locked. Collect 3 bonus symbols to unlock one of them and add 2 more free spins to the tally. Every time you unlock 1 extra reel, it reveals another expanded Wild symbol.

The levels of the free spins are 4 and these are:

Level 1 – this level is very similar to the base game. You play on 5 reels, one of which is an expanding roaming wild that changes positions between spins. You will be paid for up to 5 of a kind winning combinations;

Level 2 – you will play with 6 reels with 1 expanded locked wild symbol covering the whole reel 1. You also have another expanded wild reel but it is a roaming one. You will benefit from 6 of a kind combinations;

Level 3 – this game has 7 reels with 2 expanded locked wilds on reels 1 and 2 and 1 expanded roaming wild reel. You will be paid for up to 7 of a kind payouts;

Level 4 – you play on 8 reels with 3 expanded wild symbols locked on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd reels. There is also one expanded roaming wild zombie symbol. You can win from 8 of a kind paying combinations.

After you have unlocked all extra reels and have collected 3 bonus symbols, you will win 3 more free spins. You can repeat and win extra free spins this way many times without limits. As you can see, the more unlocked wild reels the better as the payouts of the symbols increase too.

The Conclusion

Wild Walker is a great choice for the fans of the horror and zombie topic. The free spins ensure excellent outcomes and the rounds are unpredictable. The expanding wild zombie reels can make your play worthwhile. If you like slots such as Resident Evil, 1 Left Alive and similar ones, this one is your pick!
