Astro Wild Slot - Demo, Free Play, No Registration -

Introduction 

Will the prizes you find be out of this world if you choose to play this Caleta Gaming slot? There is always the potential to make your prize pot totals skyrocket - or at least go up a little - thanks to bonuses such as free spins, multipliers, expanding wilds, progressive multiplier, bonus picks and a cosmic path bonus.

Graphics & theme

This game feels like a mix between a classic arcade game and a children’s comic, from its pink bubble-style writing to its cartoon-like symbols. The soundtrack is pleasantly unobtrusive and fits with the theme. If this slot is a good fit for you, you may also like to check out the Astro Gems slot.

Astro Wild RTP and variance

This choice of Caleta demo slots has an RTP of 96.63 per cent, which is above average for an online slot. It is unclear what the variance is meant to be, although it played like a medium volatility slot when we gave it a try.

How to play Astro Wild

This space themed slot doesn’t need you to be a rocket scientist to play it; however, if you need some tips, we are happy to help:

1. The control tabs are pretty much where you would expect them to be - beneath the reels with the spin tab in the middle. 
2. To either side are the max bet, which looks like a coin stack, and the autoplay options.
3. Choose to set the game to spin automatically by using the autoplay button. Click the circle to the right of the spin button and choose how many games you want to play in auto mode. The choices are 10, 25, 50 or 100.
4. Click the speaker icon to turn the soundtrack on or off.
5. There is also a turbo mode if you want the game to play at a faster speed. Just be aware that this will mean your playing balance can go down quite fast.
6. Use the bet settings to determine your total bet, which is made up of your chosen coin value and bet. The minimum you can choose is 0.01 coin value and level one bet, resulting in a total bet of 0.50. The maximum is a 0.20 coin value and level five bet, meaning a total stake of 50.00.

Bet sizes & paytable wins 

Stake from 0.50 to 50.00 per spin in this space-themed game. The prizes depend on how much you decide to bet. If you choose the maximum stake, here is what you could win for five matching symbols:

• Golden spaceman = 600
• Silver and pink astronaut = 300
• Robot = 250
• Rocket = 150
• Purple space module = 125
• King = 100
• Queen, jack = 80

Astro Wild bonus features

Wilds

As the name might suggest, Astro Wild has wild symbols that can substitute for all the other icons except the scatter. These wilds can be stacked on the second and third reels. There is even a wild event feature in which there are up to two completely wild reels. Reels two, three or four can randomly become wild and offer a guaranteed win.

Scatters

Three, four or five free spins scatter symbols will trigger either 7, 15 or 25 bonus free games. During these free spins, you could win multiple consecutive prizes up to 10x. The game has a progressive multiplier to decide your winning chances in this bonus round. Scatters also offer the chance of wins based on a multiplier of your total stake. You could win 100x your total bet for five of a kind, 20x for four, and 1x for three.

Bonus symbol

The slot also features a rocket bonus symbol that holds the key to the cosmic path bonus game. Land three of these icons anywhere on the reels and the bonus will launch. You then need to click the spin button and see how far you can travel along the path and what rewards you can find along the way.

Astro Wild review: our verdict

The Astro Wild slot is quite child-like in its design, although it is obviously not aimed at children. Perhaps it is supposed to awaken the inner child in us - the child who wants to get on a rocket and embark on a galactic adventure of epic proportions. This Caleta Gaming slot can certainly take you on a journey of discovery into space, but we are not sure whether you are going to be that impressed by what you find. 

This is a fairly average slot in terms of its design, its features and gameplay, and the wins on offer. There is nothing really striking that sets it apart from the pack, but this doesn’t necessarily mean you shouldn’t give it a go. The free spins bonus is an interesting feature, as is the cosmic path bonus game, and the slot does have some appeal in the same way that you might choose to have a go on an old Space Invaders game but would probably return to your PlayStation 5 pretty soon after.

The fact that the game offers 243 ways to win is always a nice touch to keep the interest levels as high as possible, and the designers have worked hard to keep the theme on track. Even the usual playing card symbols have been nicely tailored to fit the galactic genre and we always appreciate this sort of attention to detail. It definitely beats some of the ‘thrown together’ slots we have played where the theme seems to be about as cohesive as a jigsaw puzzle in a tumble drier.
