Wilderland

Wilderland lives up to its name. In this magical forest there are no less than four different types of special wilds, and they all walk!

Wilderland is all about lining up wild symbols, preferably on the middle row as they turn into an improved version of themselves. The game is one of NetEnt's all time best and if you like walking wilds you will love the Wilderland video slot.

The Wilderland slot was quickly added to crypto casino's list of restricted games when playing with a bonus, presumably because of its high hit frequency, which is 39.8%, meaning a payout on almost every other spin. If you play at a casino with a wager based VIP system, Wilderland is great to rack up points with relatively low risk, unless it is exempt of course. Worth checking out.

The combination of low variance and high hit frequency does not mean you win more, the RTP is 96.16% which is by no means spectacular, but not bad either.

The game's theme is an enchanted forest, and a fairy is the best paying symbol, as well as your companion in the free spins round. The Wilderland forest measures 5x3 with 20 fixed paylines.

The middle row of the game is what is known as the Activation zone. If 2 or more Wild Symbols land there, they will activate the magic of the forest. At the very least, this means that the wild symbol becomes a wandering one, but there are more special attributes to be won.

Wilderland is a low variance game and in NetEnt's simulations it took over 166 BILLION spins before the maximum win of 625 was hit. Not very likely in other words but with its low variance it is still a game where you can stay afloat for quite some time, and hitting the occasional 250x is not unheard of.

The Wild Symbol in the base game is red and in its original form it simply acts as a joker.

When two land on the middle row, they transform into one of four different glittering special wilds. All special versions of the wild symbol are "Walking" which means they activate a re-spin and move one step to the left. This continues until the last wild symbol has walked out of the picture to the left.

• Regular walking wild
• 2x walking wild (doubles the win when involved)
• Wandering Scatter Wild
• Stacked wandering wild (expands)

The expanded stacked wild, when it wanders out of the picture, can randomly activate what is called the Magic Wild - it will then magically appear on the fifth reel. In other words, it guarantees six more spins with a stack of walking wilds!

The bonus round is, to be precise, not a regular free spins round but rather a re-spins round. It is activated by 3 or more scatter symbols, these can be of the wandering type or regular.

The bonus round starts by placing a wandering or a 2x wandering wild on the fifth reel. Each scatter symbol in addition to the three required to activate the bonus round means an extra wild. So, four gives you two symbols and five gives you three (the whole reel).

The game then proceeds as it does in the base game, with the wandering feature playing out. In practice, this means at least 6 spins. The only difference is that the Magic Wild feature can be activated even when lone wilds wander off the screen.

The bonus round ends when there are no more wilds on the screen.
