If ever you were looking for a simple and easy game to play, you’ve come to the right place. Way Out Wilds slot is a new title from High 5 Gaming, and although not the most exciting online slot we’ve ever reviewed there’ll definitely be a market for what lies within these reels. Theme aside, we’ll also be looking in to the free spins offered by the game, as well as the wild functionality that has the edge on most titles out there. Are you looking for something that could be your new gravy train? Why not see if Way Out Wilds is your ticket?
High 5 Gaming, the software studio behind Way Out Wilds, is quite a well-known player in the industry having been established in 1995. They aren’t just known for online games, but land-based and social platforms too, and having won multiple awards we suppose they thought the time was right for a straightforward slot. There isn’t any unique theme, no innovative reel features and no outstanding video visuals. What we do have is a game with a basic, plain background sitting behind 5 reels, 4 rows and 80 paylines. High 5 Games have made the game available on mobile devices of all kinds, while you can also spin away on your tablet.
With very little on the creative side to speak of it brings us to the gambling features. The most you’ll be able to win in the base game is £160,000.00, which immediately makes the prior drab reading a distant memory. This is quite a decent amount, however it must be mentioned that in order to win it you’ll need to be wagering at the maximum possible sum of £400.00 per spin. This is definitely the downside, however players can start their wagering at the lowly amount of £0.80. Way Out Wilds does seem to pay out large quantities when wins occur, most likely due to its high variance status. However, this also means that wins can be harder to come by, making wins that much sweeter when they happen.
We’re afraid it’s back to bland reading in this section, as the symbols chosen by the software studio aren’t exactly mind-blowing. Players will find the straightforward combination of fruit, numbers, royals etc. The value of the symbols start with the playing cards 5, J, Q, K and A. We then move to the fruits acting as higher value icons, and here you’ll find a banana, a lime and a strawberry. The last 2 base symbols are the bell and the 7. These symbols are a little unique in that they can appear as singular, double or triple symbols. The 7, appearing as 777, is the highest paying of all regular icons.
Look out for the wild symbol which has the power to substitute all regular symbols except the scatters. These are the diamond and the bonus label that can attach itself to wilds.
The bonus feature is always fantastic in any game in that it allows everyone to win cash without having actually wagered anything. In sticking with their minimalist theme High 5 Games have added a free spins feature, albeit with 2 ways to trigger it. The first is by landing the diamond scatter on reels 2, 3 and 4 on the same spin. The other way is by landing 3 wild symbols with bonus labels attached. Either way you land it you’ll be given 6 free spins, while a completely different symbol value is implemented. Essentially, the regular symbols will be far more valuable in the free spins for any winning combinations.
While we still aren’t too thrilled at the lack of imagination used by the studio when creating Way Out Wilds slot, we must admit that the cash winning potential did capture our attention. The ludicrously high maximum bet doesn’t need to be played to enjoy some delectable wins. Once you make it in to the free spins you’ll rake in some serious funds, and with the game’s sticky wilds feature there is enough bonus joy to make this a potentially epic experience.
