Striker Wild - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

The Striker Wild online slot is made by game designer CQ9 Gaming. It is played on 5x3 reels with 25 paylines that pay from left to right. 

If you prefer an online slot with more paylines, take a look at the Money Train 3 slot. This is also available as a free slot here at Slots Temple and has its own slot review.

Striker Wild has a scatter symbol that triggers free spins when a minimum of three appear anywhere on the reels. The scatter is also a paying symbol.

The player wild symbol appears on all reels except the first and substitutes for all symbols except the football scatter. Apart from the scatter, all symbols can appear with a golden frame on reel five and generous payouts are awarded when they form a winning line of five of a kind without a wild. A smaller reward is available when a wild appears on a winning line.

There are five high-value symbols supplemented by six low-value playing card symbols from nine to ace.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack 

As the title suggests, the beautiful game of soccer is the theme for this slot, with Spurs favourite Son Heung-min playing a starring role as the eponymous striker and wild. The graphics are cartoon-style and the soundtrack is the kind of noisy anthem you might expect to hear at a packed stadium.

Striker Wild RTP and variance 

The Striker Wild slot has an RTP of 96.09 per cent and you can try it as a free slot here at Slots Temple to get an idea of how the game plays. It has high variance, which means that payouts will tend to be less frequent but of higher value when they land. This is another reason to play it in free demo mode here at Slots Temple rather than risking your own money at an online casino.

Striker Wild bonus features

Free spins

Three, four or five scatters trigger 8, 12 or 15 free spins respectively; what’s more, 2x, 10x 100x multipliers apply. This feature can retrigger but is capped at a maximum of 100 games. Stacked wilds can also appear in the free games.

Golden frame

All symbols apart from the scatter can appear on reel five in a golden frame. You will win 800x your total wager if you land a five-of-a-kind combination of the top-value symbols with a golden frame symbol and no wilds. Win 200x your stake for lower-value symbols and 25x if a wild helps to form the line. You will see the prizes on offer above the reels.

Striker Wild review: our verdict 

Fans of football will love this game and its theme, and all players will be impressed with the prizes on offer. The high volatility and wide bet range will appeal to high rollers, although perhaps not to the more risk-averse.
