Wild Ride Review

The Skywind Group designers have included a very impressive intro animation in Wild Ride, and it reminds us of the 2009 Pixar animation movie simply called Up. The old man and his dog are clearly aiming for a twinkling star in the night sky, and it’s your job to assist the two brave voyagers by landing as many consecutive wins as possible.

Each win lifts the balloon higher off the ground, and you closer to the 1,000x top prize. Along the way you’ll trigger many different respins + wild reels combinations from the Winning Streak Meter, and getting the balloon into the stratosphere is not all that easy. Scatter boost symbols might help you out once in a while though, and they might even catapult you all the way to the top.

Wild Ride Slot Features

This game centers around the Winning Streak feature, which is triggered when you land at least 3 consecutive winning spins. As the balloon moves up, you progress along the Winning Streak Meter seen in the top right corner. This meter comes with 7 increments, and provides respins combined with wild reels. Climb to the very top to win the 1,000x jackpot.

The more consecutive wins you land, the higher you climb on the Winning Streak Meter. Here are all the rewards you can look forward to, relative to how many consecutive wins you land:

  • 3 consecutive wins = 1 respin where reel 3 is wild
  • 4 consecutive wins = 3 respins where reel 3 is wild
  • 5 consecutive wins = 2 respins where reels 2 and 4 are wild
  • 6 consecutive wins = 4 respins where reels 2 and 4 are wild
  • 7 consecutive wins = 1 respin where reels 2, 3 and 4 are wild
  • 8 consecutive wins = 2 respins where reels 2, 3 and 4 are wild
  • 9+ consecutive wins = the 1,000x your stake top prize win

The Winning Streak meter resets on losing spins, and the balloon is taken down to the ground to start all over again. Any wins you get via the respins feature does not count in the Winning Streak Meter, and the meter will reset once the respins have played out.

To get a random boost up the Winning Streak Meter, you have the Fire Boost feature to help you out. Land 3 Boost Symbols to trigger the feature, and this takes you to a random position on the Meter. This might just land you the 1,000x top prize right there and then, but most of the time you will get only to the lower respin levels. The Boost symbol also awards a scatter win of 2x, 20x or 200x respectively, when you land 3, 4 or 5 on the same spin.

The 200 Spins Wild Ride Slot Experience

We triggered the Winning Streak feature quite a few times in our test session, but have only included the 2 most memorable occasions in our 3-minute highlights video.

We got 4 respins with reels 2 and 4 wild the first time, and 2 respins with the same wild reels not too long after. You can see how it all went by hitting the play button.

Review Summary

It certainly goes up and down in life, and this is most definitely the case for online gamblers. Wild Ride illustrates this in a very visual way, via the balloon ride towards the stars and the 1,000x jackpot prize. Skywind Group has created a very nice animated intro to this game, but the somewhat childish theme might not be for everyone.

The feeling of progressing towards something is always nice. However, on the flip side, you’ll also have to endure the feeling of constantly starting from scratch here. The top prize of 1,000x is also not extremely attractive, and especially not when you’re dealing with a somewhat volatile game. At least winning streaks are given an extra pump here, just as long as you manage to make it into the Meter.

Pros

  • Winning Streak meter awards respins with wild reels
  • Rise to the top of the meter to win the 1,000x jackpot prize
  • Get a random boost up the meter via Fire Boost scatters

Cons

  • The 1,000x single spin max win is weak for a volatile game
