Wild Catcher

Native Americans take the reels on this Wild Streak Gaming slot. The vast plains serve as the background, whereas traditional slot gaming seems to take the forefront. The game comes with a non-standard reel setup, over 500 ways to count payline wins, and some wild special features.

This game seems to combine the classic look that we are all used to from terminals with the modern playability of online slots. At first, it might look a bit aged, but this soon turns out not to be the case. The slot offers a nice mix of everything, without being too weak on any particular area. Check out further details below.

Theme

The main character is a Native American, with all sorts of wild animals to accompany him. Half of the symbols are playing card ranks, straight from the classic slots. The sound effects are a mix likewise, with occasional drum music interrupted by mechanical sounds whenever a button is pressed or when a winning combination forms.

The game offers a handful of simple animations, something it could have used a bit more. Especially as the static background picture is mostly desert landscape.

Betting Options and Functions

There are five reels, with the three middle reels having four symbols each. The first and fifth reels have three symbols. This allows the game to use the ways to win system in such a fashion that a total of 576 different combinations can be formed to claim a prize. Simply put, matching symbols need to be on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost to count as connected.

The betting starts from 0.40 coins per spin, which is quite high but goes well hand-inhand with the payline system. On the other hand, the maximum bet is 2.50 coins per spinn, which is exceedingly low. The game offers somewhat high volatility, as is evident from the wins. The highest you will land from a five symbol combo is 2000 times the bet, whereas the minimum three symbol combinations pays out five times the bet.

Features

Bonus games come in large quantities. Three, four, or five scatters will result in ten, twenty, or thirty bonus games respectively. The feature can be retriggered, and in addition, the below wild feature will come into play more often.

Besides substituting for all other symbols the wild comes into play in another form. Or rather, it comes into play more often. Randomly before a spin (not every spin) between two and seven wilds will be placed on reels two, three, and four, increasing chances of landing big wins.

Our Take

In the end, this slot only feels good for a handful of spins. Furthermore, the theme and the style leans towards traditional gaming. If you’re not a fan of that or prefer more modern takes on slot games, then it’s better to look for another slot with a similar theme. But then again, if you are mainly looking for big wins and bonus games then this Wild Streak game delivers plenty of both.
