Since the beginning of the year, Quickspin has been hyping the upcoming launch of its latest online slot, The Wild Chase. The game is now available at online casinos, and we’re going to give it a few spins to let you know if it lives up to the hype.

Theme

The Wild Chase features a heist theme with modern, realistic graphics. It seems to be based on recent films like Fast and the Furious, Ocean’s Eleven and The Italian Job. This is quite a unique theme, and we really appreciate that it brings something new to the online casino market.

Format

There are 25 paylines in The Wild Chase, so players should be able to hit winning combinations often. Betting is fixed, so players cannot wager on any fewer than 25 lines – but, this just means that players will never miss out on a chance to win. Players can adjust their wagers between 25c and $100 per spin, so it doesn’t matter if you’re a high roller or not – you’ll still be able to enjoy this online slot.

Re-Spins

After any winning spin, the Re-Spin Feature is triggered. Any symbols that were involved in the win will be locked in place and the rest of the symbols will spin again. If any more winning combinations occur, the re-spin feature will repeat itself. The feature ends when no more winning combinations can be made or the entire set of reel shows the same symbol.

Multiplier Wilds

All of the wild symbols in The Wild Chase feature multipliers. Whenever a multiplier is part of a winning combination, a 2x multiplier will apply. If a win is hit on the re-spin which involves another wild, the multiplier will increase to 3x. The maximum multiplier that the player can receive is 5x. This multiplier is rarely triggered but when it does, it makes for some very impressive wins worth thousands of dollars.

Free Spins Bonus

The free spins bonus is triggered when three or more bonus symbols land on the reels. They can be accumulated over the course of a series of re-spins, which gives players more than one chance per spin to trigger this bonus. The player can see the number of free spins they have earned in the Bonus Metre.

Our Verdict

We love the look of this new game, but we’re not quite sold on the gameplay. The re-spins feature seems great but we didn’t trigger it very often; so, it’s inclusion seems to be a bit of a waste. However, we did appreciate the ability to collect bonus symbols over the course of a set of re-spins.

If you’re looking for a great-looking online slot, then The Wild Chase is for you. However, if you want a more complex gaming experience, then this may not be up your alley.
