Free slot: The Wild Machine

How The Wild Machine works

Dive into the world of science with a scientist like no other. The Wild Machine is a slot machine released in 2020 by provider Pragmatic Play. This slot can pay you up to 7,000 times your starting bet and has a 96.5% RTP (return to play). Minimum and maximum bets are 20 cents and 100 euros on a single round of play.

It's an unusual machine as its starting grid changes when you switch to a bonus.

If you are not in bonus games, this is a classic slot machine, consisting of 5 vertical lines and 5 horizontal lines.

During your paid games, a function may appear in a completely random way. A wild will always be present on reels 1 and 7 as well as a wild reel along the entire length of line 4.

The different symbols of The Wild Machine

The Wild Machine is a slot machine that consists of 11 symbols.

You have 5 "premium" symbols, i.e. these are the symbols, in theory, that pay you the most during your base game or free spins. The 5 symbols are the first 5 in the following screen.

Then you have 5 non-premium symbols, which in turn pay you drastically less than the premium symbols.

The 11th symbol of this slot machine is the wild symbol. With the scientist, it's the symbol that pays the most. The wild replaces all symbols except the scatter symbol.

The "scatter" symbol has no value, its only function is to give you the bonus games. In order to get the bonus function, you must have 3 times the scatter symbol in the same game round. To activate your bonus, the symbol must appear on reels 2, 3 and 4.

The different connections in The Wild Machine

As explained in the introduction, The Wild Machine does not have the same way of paying you if you are partly paid or partly free. Whether you are partly paid or partly free, you must have a symbol appear at least once on your first three lines to make a profit.

If you are partly paid, you have 40 connection lines which are distributed as follows.

If you are partly free, your starting grid will be different as well as the way to connect. Like the free games, you have 40 connection lines which are divided as follows.

How The Wild Machine bonus works

The Wild Machine offers you three bonuses. Firstly, to activate any of the three bonuses, the scatter symbol will need to appear three times on your screen on lines 2, 3 and 4.

Once you get all three scatters, a wheel appears and is automatically thrown by the slot machine.

The first bonus is simple: if the wheel falls on one of the sums, you win it. If you're lucky, the wheel can go down and so you'll win all the sums the wheel has stopped on. In addition to the money collected, the wheel can also come up on the free spins function. Beware, this is very rare.

If you reach the bonus function, you will have the choice between two options.

The first: Diamond Forge Free spins. If you come across this function, your starting grid will be exactly the same as in your base game function :

The bonus is very simple, you get 5 free spins. At each round where a wild appears, it stays in the same place until the end of your free spins. The goal is simple: you have to have as many wild cards as possible.

The second bonus available to you is the Gold Faudry Free spins. Your grid remains the same as at the start and unlike the other bonus, you start your games with 8 free spins. During your free spins, a line between 2, 3 and 4 will turn into a wild. Contrary to the bonus before, the wild that appears does not stay until the end of the free spins.

Our opinion on The Wild Machine

The Wild Machine is a very successful slot machine because of its crazy universe and its graphic design.

Even though the base game can pay you, it is mainly one of the two bonuses that can make you win up to 7,000 times your initial bet. In addition to potentially paying you massively, this slot machine has a 96.5% RTP, which is very correct considering the potential.

This slot machine is still very frustrating. Indeed, getting the bonus is something that is often very difficult. And once the bonus has been obtained, it is very rare for The Wild Machine to win big wins.

In summary, The Wild Machine is a very good slot machine with explosive potential. However, it is quite rare to be able to take advantage of it.
