Empire of Wilds Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

This is a classic slot with added wild action. The wilds are the main feature of the game, whether they are replacing other symbols or nudging themselves up and down to help you to create wins. If you like the idea of a traditional slot with a couple of added extras then Empire of the Wilds may be the choice for you. You may also want to check out the Wild 7 slot as well.

Empire of Wilds theme and soundtrack

The soundtrack takes the form of a twinkling accompaniment to the spinning reels, in a way that you might expect from this kind of classic-themed slot. The reels look quite stark but this is quite fitting for a traditional-feeling game of this kind, and it actually makes all the settings and controls incredibly easy to see and navigate. 

Empire of Wilds RTP and Variance

The theoretical return to player average of this game is 96.2% and it is a low to medium variance game, something that might be surprising given that the maximum bet in this game is an extremely high 1,000.00 per spin.

How to Play Empire of Wilds 

You can get a much simpler game than this choice of Design Works Gaming free play slots, but if you do need a few handy hints, then here they are:

1. There is only 1 payline in this game and so you don’t have to worry about how many lines you want to play. You do have to decide how much you want to bet on each spin, however.
2. You can use the + and - arrows next to the reels to scroll up and down to choose your betting amount.
3. The white arrow in the green circle is the start or spin button. This changes to a stop button as the reels roll. You can click the stop button to end the spinning early if this is how you like to play.
4. Wins have to land on the centre line. Symbols either above or below this line will not count.
5. The blue tab containing the 2 arrows in a circle is the autospin feature. Click on this if you want the slot to spin without you having to press the start button each time. You will get to choose how many games you want the slot to play automatically. The choices are 10, 25, 50, or 100.
6. The 3-line symbol is the key to the settings menu. If you’re playing on a desktop device, you will find this in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, directly below the spin and autospin buttons.
7. The settings menu is where you want to go if you want to turn the game’s sounds and music off or on. It is also where you will find the play history, the paytable, and the game rules.
8. The play history shows you the details of your playing session. You can even click the watch tab to view a replay of each spin.
9. The paytable opens in a new screen, with a range of options on a toolbar across the top. Here you can check out the wins on offer, as well as the game rules and feature information.

Empire of Wilds Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins 

This game may be simple but it’s set up for some exciting spinning thanks to the huge betting range on offer. More cautious spinners will enjoy the betting minimum of 0.25, while high rollers should be more than satisfied by the maximum bet of 1,000.00 per spin. The biggest wins available are displayed above the reels, as well as in the paytable. Prizes are paid for 3-of-a-kind combinations. If you choose to bet the maximum amount of 1,000.000 per spin, here is what you could win, according to the table above the reels:

Three upward pointing wilds - 200,000

Three downward pointing wilds - 100,000

Three mixed wilds - 40,000

Three double 7s - 20,000

Three single 7s - 10,000

The paytable shows off all wins for 3-of-a-kind, based on the minimum bet. These are then increased according to the bet multiplier you have applied to your stake when you choose to play:

Upward wild - 50

Downward wild - 25

Any wild - 10

Double 7s - 5

Single 7 - 2.50

Any 7 - 1.25

Empire of Wilds Bonus Features

You might think that because this game sticks to a very classic slot theme that there wouldn’t be any bonus features in the mix. You’re right that the features aren’t likely to be why you would choose to play this slot, but there are a couple that you might enjoy. The first feature harks back to the days when your only choice to play slots was heading down to the pub or local arcade. It is a traditional-style nudge feature. This will come into play if the upward wild lands below the payline. In which case it will nudge up onto the payline. It will also happen if the downward wild lands on the line above the payline. This time, fairly unsurprisingly, it will nudge down to the win line. 

These 2 wild symbols also act like traditional wild icons and can replace other symbols to create winning combinations. There are actually not that many symbols they can substitute for, however, especially given the fact that the downward wild cannot substitute for the upward wild and the upward wild cannot replace the downward wild. 

Empire of Wilds Review

This is a pretty basic slot but this is exactly why you might enjoy it. This has a nostalgic feel with a few added twists to give it a little more entertainment value. If you like a traditional slot, you may want to give this a try.
