Wild Ox Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction 

Wild Ox is an online slot that uses 100 adjustable paylines and 5 reels. It has strong Asian influences because we are in the Chinese New Year of the ox currently. The ox is a symbol of prosperity which we’re hoping this slot can bring to players. With a maximum prize of 2000x your total bet, players can use scatters and wilds to get bigger payouts. Here we are reviewing the slot and what you can expect from this offering from Spinomenal. 

Overall Theme 

Because of the ox being front and centre, we would say this is an animal themed slot with some definite Asian influence. The year of the ox is upon us and the celebration of the prosperity that this animal can bring is shown in this slot. Behind the reels are mountains. Cherry blossom petals which are very popular in the Asian culture fall slowly which is a nice touch to the delicate animations and feel of the game. The reels are surrounded with an oriental style border which helps them stand out from the purple background. You can get more from this developer in the Spinomenal's Gods of Slots game. 

Wild Ox RTP and Variance

 
We always want to see an online slot have an RTP that is above the industry average. Unfortunately, Wild Ox doesn’t have that as it misses by just a fraction at 95.8%. Because it only misses slightly, it shouldn’t have too much of a negative impact on the overall game. 

Spinomenal are not known for giving their slots variance ratings but eagle eyed players have clocked this to be in the medium to high range. This means that wins will usually be on the higher end of the scale, but you will need a length bankroll and a lot of patience to see any sort of cash prize. 

How to Play Wild Ox 

The developer makes sure that their slots are easy to play for everyone. Even if you aren’t as experienced in the online slot world, you can learn the ropes to wrangle this ox with our help below:

1. Start by setting your total bet using the plus or minus buttons. Remember to only ever spend within your means and set yourself a budget before playing. 
2. Max bet can be used to set the maximum bet amount allowed by the slot. 
3. Adjust your paylines in the same way, using the controls to the left of the screen. 
4. The central spin button will spin the reels once for the bet you chose. 
5. Autoplay starts the reels spinning on their own. Pause will stop them.
6. Click the question mark to view the paytable and more information about the game. 

Please play Wild Ox responsibly by setting yourself an affordable and sensible budget for each play session. Never chase losses and insure you stick to your limits. When the fun stops, stop.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins 

You don’t get much variety in terms of bets for Wild Ox. You can set the minimum bet of 0.1 coins if you don’t want to spend too much on the reels. Players then have the choice to increase this up to the maximum amount allowed to bet on the paylines which is 100 coins. Make sure to keep an eye on your total bet because it will increase depending on how many paylines you choose to activate. 

If you can land symbols in matching groups of 3s, 4s and 5s across an active payline, you will receive a bet multiplier for your trouble. Below we have detailed the winnings for landing five of each symbol.

Wild Ox Bonus Features

Wild Oxen 

The ox is the wild symbol for the game and it can land anywhere on the reels. It substitutes in for the symbols that are adjacent to it so you can get a winning combination. If you manage to fill the entire screen with wild symbols, you win the jackpot for the game which is 2000x your total bet. 

Turtle Scatters 

Scatters are also a special symbol featured in the Wild Ox slot. They can appear anywhere on the screen and payout no matter what position they land in. 

Wild Ox Review: Our Verdict 

Wild Ox follows the recipe that a lot of other Spinomenal slots do. No bells and whistles, no bonus features and a bit dry on the gameplay. It becomes hard work after a while to land a win thanks to the variance which sucks the fun out of the slot entirely. The hit rates and RTP are on the lower side so really, this game will really boil down to player preference.
