Wilhelm Tell

There are slots games, then there are Yggdrasil slots games. The boutique developer has won a reputation for creating visually stunning games with some of the industry’s most cutting-edge feature. Of course, there’s also the fact that Yggdrasil games tend to come with a higher than average RTP that makes this developer one to watch. No wonder then that their games are so popular amongst players worldwide.

Wilhelm Tell is the latest offering to emerge from their games development studios, providing that trademark combination of style, bonus features and winning potential. Based on the story of Wilhelm Tell, made famous by the 1829 overture that bears his name, this slot has a great deal to offer those looking for a new spinning slots challenge.

Like many of the best online slots, the game is structured in the usual way, across five standard reels. Yggdrasil Gaming have a tendency to structure their games in unusual ways, so this is tame by their usual standards. Across those five reels, you’ll find 20 paylines – directions from left to right across the board on which combinations of matching symbols will pay out winnings. The aim of this slot is to line up matching symbols of three or more of a kind on any of these paylines, which will earn you a multiple of your stake as a reward.

On the reels, you’ll see symbols based on the story of Wilhelm Tell, including the man himself, a knight and Gessler the Tyrant. They are joined on the board by high card symbols from a standard pack of cards, which make up the lower value symbols on the paytable. Consult the paytable for a full run-down of what each combination pays, but suffice to say the larger your bet, the larger your winnings on any combination.

Betting action starts at just £0.10 per spin, ranging right up to £50 for those at higher levels of per-spin budget. With a maximum jackpot standing at 150x the amount of your stake, there’s some decent money to be won here when the reels stack up in your favour.

It’s also worth noting that the RTP here is characteristically high for an Yggdrasil slot, clocking in at 97.00% – amongst the highest you’ll find from any slots title. With a slim house edge and good chances of winning compared to your average slot, there are plenty of good reasons to try Wilhelm Tell for yourself.

Feature Symbols

The wild symbol is Wilhelm Tell’s son, tied to a tree with an apple on his head…you know how the story goes. The wild is three positions high and can be nudged up to full reel height where this will help you land a winning combination. The wild substitutes for all and any symbols you need to complete winning combinations, apart from the scatter symbol, as is the standard with most online slots.

The scatter symbol pays out a scatter bonus for landing 2 or more of a kind, anywhere on the board. There’s up to 500x available to be won from the scatter bonus, not to mention triggering the bonus round when you land three or more of these on your reels on a single spin.

Bonuses and Jackpots

The main feature is a free spins bonus round where players are confronted with a choice between different combinations of spins and multipliers. Choose 10 free spins with a 5x multiplier, 5 free spins with a 10x multiplier, or 1 free spin with a whopping 50x multiplier – it’s up to you. The only downside here is that the free spins aren’t retriggerable, so make sure you choose your free spins/multipliers combination wisely. With the 50x option in play, there’s the chance of winning up to 7500x from this feature.

Otherwise, the main jackpot from the base game reels stands at a respectable 150x, not too bad for a low to medium variance slot.
