Aurora Wilds by Neon Valley Studios is a 5x3 grid and 10 pay lines online slot release with a very pleasing graphics, somewhat different theme, and interesting features.
Expanding Wilds that also offer respins, are one of such features. And while it is not the most paying slot game out there, Aurora Wilds is certainly one of the more entertaining ones.
The iGaming software developer Neon Valley Studios is in fact a subsidiary to the more well-known British company, Microgaming.
Theme
Behind the transparent reels, you will see a breathtaking landscape of a North American wilderness consisting of a river with the forest on both banks and snow-covered mountains in the deep background.
Over the mountains, high in the night sky, a purple and emerald aurora borealis set the sky ablaze.
The five differently-colored animal symbols, created in a Native American style that appears to be inspired by several different Native American tribes and cultures, spin on the reels, as the xylophone-like tones play in the background.
While being clear what the developer was going for with the music, it doesn’t fit the overall theme that well, as was probably imagined.
What Are The Betting Options and Functions?
The betting range in terms of coins is 0.01 to 6.0 with a maximum of 1 coin per line allowed, while in terms of cash the bet goes from $0.10 to $60.00. The maximum win this video slot offers is a cash jackpot of $1,500.00
With a more or less medium RTP of 96.2, the title is neither breathtakingly generous nor disappointingly stingy.
The regular symbols, consisting of horses, turtles, rabbits, fish, and eagles, are of course the lower value ones, with more classic symbols of lucky sevens and bars paying a higher reward of 12x and 25x per stake when all five land on the reels.
Being of HTML5-based design, the game runs smoothly on mobile devices as well as desktop computers.
What About The Features?
As already mentioned there are two things that Wilds achieve. Expanding ones land on the middle three reels, substituting for all symbols except the jackpot one and awarding line wins after the expansion.
Landing one or more Wilds awards a respin, whilst locking the expanding Wilds on the reels, allowing for an opportunity to add more Wilds that land on the remaining spinning reels. 3 such respins in a row are available.
The Jackpot Trigger symbol can appear over any symbol, except for the aforementioned Wild. These symbols also appear on the middle three reels.
When three of them are hit, the jackpot wheel spin is triggered, with a potential of one of four different prizes called, Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand and ranging from 30x, over 100x and 200x to the much more generous 4,000x
To Conclude
While this game won't be encouraging a mass of high-rollers to come and play it, with the betting range and jackpot reward being as low as it is, it nevertheless has a lot to it.
The visuals are truly beautiful and the symbols even combine two classic video slots ones in the form of sevens and bars to hit that nostalgia button.
Lastly, the features of expending Wilds and respins allow for a chance to make some interesting combinations on the reels, providing a dynamic and entertaining experience. And sometimes, that is all the player needs.
