Astro Wilds - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Slots can take players anywhere in space and time, and this 5x3, 25 payline game projects players deep into the furthest reaches of the galaxy in pursuit of the lost fleet.

Funfair claims to offer a gaming experience like no other, although we’re not sure that’s true of Astro Wilds. What we can say is that the audio-visuals are stunning, putting players at the controls of their own ship sailing out into deep space.

True to its name, the reels are packed with wilds that appear singly or stacked and deliver a fairly steady stream of wins. The big feature here is the lost fleet bonus, which can trigger after any dead spin and award the player up to 100x their stake.

If you want to see how the gameplay shakes out, try a few free play spins on desktop, mobile or tablet. Astro Wilds from Funfair Games free slots can be played at Slots Temple.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

If you’re a fan of space themed slots and you’re looking for a new intergalactic experience that’s a step up from NetEnt’s classic Starburst demo slot, then Astro Wilds could provide the UX you’re looking for.

Funfair Technology have worked hard to create a truly immersive experience, putting you at the controls of your own spacecraft in pursuit of the lost fleet to the outer edges of the galaxy.

Everything from the warp speed visuals to the ambient electronic sounds add to the theme, and this is genuinely one of the most atmospheric slots you’ll play. We loved the unique design with different worlds flying into view, including one dripping with lava and another wreathed in ectoplasm.

We’ve been obsessed with space exploration since Star Trek first aired in September 1966. Astro Wilds definitely goes boldly with its beautifully designed 3D symbols and clever soundscape.

RTP & Volatility

Funfair hasn’t reported the volatility of this slot, but the RTP of 96% hits the industry average bang on and should attract most players, as will the chance to hunt for some copious crypto bounty in the bonus feature.

How to Play Astro Wilds

If Funfair is a new name to you, it’s worth having a quick read of this how-to play guide which will help you get up and running as quickly as possible:

1. The player interface is fully mobile optimised, so start with the ? at bottom left to pull up the Paytable and check out features, symbols, paylines and game rules.

2. Above the ? you’ll find a gear-shaped symbol that pops up the Settings menu - you can control the audio and set up your quick play spins.

3. At the bottom right you’ll find an Auto Spin button that pops up a choice of between 5 and 100 games.

4. The demo version of this slot lets you adjust your Line Bet in credits using the + and - arrows. Bear in mind that every setting should be multiplied by 50 for your Total Bet.

5. Finally, launch your game using Auto Spins or the Spin button

Don’t forget to take a few breaks while playing Astro Wilds and set yourself a budget before you start and stick to it.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

The betting structure isn’t always clear in this slot, and it’s not for the faint-hearted with bets between 50 credits to 10,000 credits per spin. Risk takers will enjoy the increased max bet and the ability to win big from a blank spin.

The big wins in the paytable are awarded when you land 5-oak symbols on one of the 25 fixed paylines. These wins pay out as multipliers of your coin bet:

- Mechworld pays 200x
- Naturoworld pays 150x
- Ghostworld pays 100x
- Lavaworld pays 80x
- A pays 60x
- K pays 40x
- Q pays 30x
- J pays 24x
- 10 pays 18x

Bonus Features

The unique design of this slot makes a feature out of losing spins with the possibility of hunting down the lost fleet and claiming a huge bounty - up to 100x your total bet.

The more ships you spot, the higher the cumulative multiplier you can expect to win.

In addition there are those Astro Wilds that look a little like Jupiter and will substitute for any symbol to complete multiple payline and all reel wins.

Overall Review: Our Verdict

It’s difficult to fault the audio-visuals in this hugely immersive game, and you’ll spend a few spins just admiring the view. Funfair Technology has focused on creating a slot for the risk takers, and by and large they succeed.

Our only criticism would be the lack of content. The lost fleet bonus didn’t trigger with enough frequency to replace the lack of free spins, although we did score some decent wins from the wilds.
