Wicked Spins - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Skywind slot demos are very widely available at online casinos in many jurisdictions all over the world. The company maintains an energetic programme of improvement and innovation across a very wide range of themes. Skywind is well known for Asian-themed games, but the popularity of their many diverse slots helps them hold their status as a market leader. 4 Femme Fatales from Skywind, for example, has a very different setting from Chinese forests or fruit machines. Virtually every game they produce is also available as a free play demo, so you can always have a no-risk try before you gamble. 

Wicked Spins has a five-reel, three-column grid with five fixed paylines. The minimum coin value is 0.04 and the maximum is 2. You therefore have a choice of bets at each coin level, starting at the lowest range from 0.20 to 4 and moving up to the highest range from 10 to 200.

On the reels there are six regular symbols: watermelon, grapes, plums, lemon, orange and cherries. There is also a scatter which is a star and a special lucky 7 symbol.

Theme, Graphics and Soundtrack

On the basis that a simple game benefits from a simple look, Skywind have created a bright flaming background for the reels, which have thin plain borders, while the uncomplicated illustrations are picked out with clear red outlines. Animation is minimal. The gamble feature is a fairly familiar representation of a green baize card table. During spins there is no music - just squeaks and thumps with the occasional musical flourish on a win. Decidedly understated.

Wicked Spins RTP and Variance

The Return to Player is 96.79 per cent, and the volatility or variance is medium.

Wicked Spins Review: Our Verdict

The popularity of fruit-themed games is such that game developers tend not to play around with the format to any great degree. Skywind have shown precisely this kind of caution. For this reason it is perfectly acceptable but at the same time has nothing to make it stand out from the plethora of competing games. The above-average RTP and the gamble feature are elements in its favour, but it is still a little limited.
