Wild One Review
If everything's going to hell in a handbasket anyway, we might as well “sink the ship” to some heavy metal riffs with the sign of the horns hand high in the air. This seems to be the motto in Peter & Son’s metal-infused post-apocalyptic redneck extragovanza. Wild 1 comes with a simpler cartoonish presentation than we’ve seen from this developer for a while, but it’s still a recognizable production by Peter and his beloved sons.
The 6x4 grid is set in a mud-filled junkyard of some kind, and the red-bearded, turquoise-skinned guitarist is chained to a plateau on the left-hand side. He provides action commentary that sounds like the improvised vocals to a honky tonk metal song, and you need to upgrade the Wild Reel to tier 3 to squeeze the most out of this release. This also increases your likelihood of cracking the 5,000x potential.

The premium symbols pay between 0.8 and 3 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and you get 4 different wild types that all substitute for pay symbols. Winning symbols are removed and replaced via the Cascading mechanic, and wilds from the top sliding Wild Reel will have “drop down priority” whenever free positions open up below.

The top sliding Wild Reel comes with 4 tiers, and at the starting tier zero only blanks or regular wilds will appear. You upgrade the Wild Reel tier every second time you trigger the scatter Bomb feature.
Landing 2 scatters explodes the symbols in a 3x3 radius, and this triggers the cascading mechanic. Here’s an overview of the Wild Reel wilds you get per upgraded tier:- Tier 1 - regular wilds, multiplier wilds and blanks.
- Tier 2 - regular wilds, multiplier wilds, unbreakable wilds and blanks.
- Tier 3 - regular wilds, multiplier wilds, unbreakable wilds, expanding wilds and blanks.
Regular Wilds simply step in for pay symbols to help complete wins, like all wilds do. Expanding Wilds cover full reels, while Unbreakable Wilds remain in play for the whole cascading sequence. Multiplier Wilds come with multipliers up to x10, and they boost whatever wins they are part of.
The Bonus Round triggers when you land 3 scatters anywhere in view, and this awards 10 free spins. Each extra triggering scatter above the minimum of 3 gives you +1 extra spin on top of the minimum of 10.
You’ll benefit from a ‘Superpowered’ Wild Reel during the bonus round, which simply means more frequent wilds and less blanks. Landing 3 scatters award +10 extra spins, while a single scatter gives you +1 extra spin. Landing 2 scatters trigger the bomb feature as in the base game.Finally, non-UK players, and anyone eligible, may take advantage of the Bonus Buy option. This will set you back 70x your stake, and you’re then guaranteed to land 3+ scatters on the spin that follows. Purchasing the bonus round increases the RTP to a very decent 97.2 %.

You get a taste of the base game before we purchase the bonus round at 0:43 into the 6:24-minute highlights video. We landed 5 sign of the horn scatters, which gave us 12 starting free spins, and we landed plenty of extra spins as well. You can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.
Review Summary
Kudos to Peter and his Sons for continuing to experiment with different visuals styles, and Wild 1 takes you back to the developer’s more simple cartoonish roots in that regard. The honky tonk metal soundtrack with action commentary vocals adds to the uniqueness of the post-apocalyptic presentation, and there is a certain redneck charm hanging over the whole thing.
Once the Wild Reel has been upgraded to the top-tier, there are plenty of modifier wilds coming your way on a regular basis.
A bit of patience might be required to get there, but the game is much more fun when firing on all cylinders. Everything is taken up a notch in the bonus round, but the advertised 10,000x potential seems hard to crack since only 5,000x was achieved only once in 1 billion simulated spins.Pros
- Wild Reel with up to 4 unique wilds (4 tiers)
- 2 scatters explode and upgrade the wild reel tier
- FS w/ more frequent wilds on the Wild Reel
- 97.2 % RTP Bonus Buy for 70x (not UK)
- Win up to 5,000x (1 in 1 billion probability)
Cons
- 10,000x advertised potential is unrealistic
If you love Wild 1 Slot you should also try:
Mayhem - is a redneck steampunk post-apocalyptic release from Red Tiger, and it’s on when the fully stacked Cash Queen Wild slams down on the middle reel. She triggers winning symbols respins, and she’s sticky in the Anarchy Spins bonus round. The max win is 1,200x your stake.
Nitropolis 3 is the current king of the post-apocalyptic genre, and this ELK release is a showcase for pretty much their whole arsenal of modifiers, mayhem and features. The grid expands per avalanche, and you get mega symbols, as well as big nitro reels that are sticky in the bonus round. The max win is a solid 50,000x your stake.
Karen Maneater - is a grotesque post-apocalyptic release from NoLimit City (who else), and let’s just say that ‘maneater’ is not a metaphor.
You get plenty of different xMechanics and modifiers as usual from this developer, and a somewhat hilarious big win story. The 11,757x potential is cracked once in 330K spins on average.Related Slots
