Wild Worlds (NetEnt) – Review & Demo Play

Wild Worlds RTP, variance & technical data

Wild Worlds is a superhero slot with an Avalanche engine and Cluster Pays on a 5x5 grid. NetEnt launched it on 9 April 2019. I play from 0.20 up to £400 a spin, which suits testing both small and high stakes. The reels cover half the screen, while the three feathered heroes sit in their headquarters on the side. Wins form horizontally or vertically from three or more matching symbols. The setup feels like comic action with arcade pace.

The RTP sits at 96.47%, a touch above standard. Variance is medium, so I get steady play with bursts when features land. Max exposure reaches 2,500x stake, helped by the high ceiling on bet size. Layout is fixed 5x5 with cascading avalanches after each win, feeding fresh drops until no new clusters connect. Bonus features headline the experience, yet the base game ticks along with Hero Wilds and the Destroy feature ready to shake up dead spins.

Wild Worlds bonus features

In the base game, the Destroy feature can kick in on a losing spin. It keeps scatters and one randomly chosen colour on the grid, while all other symbols are cleared. An avalanche follows to give a fresh fall of icons. I have had runs where this nudge rescues the screen, chaining into back to back clusters. It is a tidy way to reset the state and fish for new hits without changing stake or pace.

Hero Wilds add another lift. When a win includes any hero symbol, all remaining matching hero symbols on the grid turn into wilds. Those wilds substitute for everything except the scatter S and can form their own lines by touching either side. I have seen this convert a modest line into a proper avalanche chain, as the extra wilds knit clusters across the board. The feature stays active during free spins as well, which matters.

Wild Worlds free spins

Wild Worlds free spins start with three scatters anywhere, paying out eight spins. You spin a wheel to pick one of three worlds. The same Avalanche and Hero Wilds rules apply, but the fight adds monsters on the side panel. Every cluster with a hero chips away at the enemies through Hero Attacks, and filling a hero meter triggers a Special Attack. I like how the metagame sits beside the reels without slowing the drop cadence.

The three worlds change how wilds appear when a monster goes down. Dark Forest throws in spreading wilds across random spots. Ice World drops a stack of two heavy wilds that stick until they help complete a win and then fall with the avalanche. Fire Lands places between two and four random wilds. Each flavour pushes different shapes of clusters. I tend to favour Ice World for structure, though spreading wilds can chain madly on a hot grid.

There are Captains with 15 health and a Boss with 105 health. Captains must fall first. When a Captain is destroyed, the world's wild twist triggers. Clear the Boss and you get another eight free spins in the next world, with a reset of enemies and fresh chances. I rate the damage loop, as hero matches both pay and progress the fight. It keeps stake value aligned with the side battle without odd side bets.

Wild Symbols for Wild Winnings in Wild Worlds

Top symbol wise, the crown is quoted at up to 100x stake for the best cluster, which sits alongside five wilds paying the same. Hero symbols have extra utility. When part of a win, all other matching hero faces flip to wilds and can link across the board. The scatter is the S icon, and three of those trigger the free spins. Between gemstone colours and hero faces, reads are clear after a few drops.

Wild Worlds jackpot (max win)

Wild Worlds has no progressive or local jackpot, yet the ceiling is not shy. The top win is 2,500x stake. With the bet capped at £400, that pushes a theoretical £1,000,000 hit. In my sessions the game behaves like a medium variance engine, with base play feeding features and the free spins worlds doing the heavy lifting. Chasing the cap wants those worlds to line up, monsters to fall, and wild patterns to stitch big clusters.

Wild Worlds mobile & tablet

I run Wild Worlds on mobile without fuss. NetEnt Touch keeps the interface clean on Android phones, iPhone, and iPad. The split screen look holds, with the heroes on one side and the 5x5 grid on the other, and the Avalanche flow remains crisp. Autoplay is there if you want set runs. I swap between demo and cash play on a tablet when testing routes into the free spins and the different worlds.

Final Result for Wild Worlds

NetEnt loves stuffing action into its slots, and Wild Worlds follows that line. It reads complex on paper, yet it clicks after a few drops. For me the heartbeat sits with the free spins, where the three worlds and the monster ladder change the shape of play. The base game still does a job thanks to Destroy and Hero Wilds. If you like feature pace without brutal variance, it lands in a nice pocket.

Not every spin will sing, and the package can feel busy if you prefer simple lines. I stick with it because the metered fights add purpose to cascades, and the 2,500x cap is fair for a medium model. RTP at 96.47% sits fine for long sets. I rate it as a solid allrounder that travels well on mobile. When the worlds line up and the heroes go off, the screen can pour wins in style.
