21 Wilds Slots
Betting for the Win
Real-money slot play is certainly exciting, although 21 Wilds is available in a “practice play” mode for those bettors who prefer to spin the reels for free. Gamblers who opt to place cash wagers can expect to spend anywhere between $0.01 and $15.00 per line in the 5-reel, 9-payline slot. While players can only bet one coin per line, they can cover every payline for anywhere between $0.09 and $135 per spin in the game. With such a wide array of betting choices, 21 Wilds is designed to accommodate virtually any player’s entertainment budget.Casino-Themed Symbols and Non-Winning Multipliers
The icons on the reels in 21 Wilds are themed to attract those online gaming enthusiasts who enjoy the idea of a genuine casino experience. Symbols include playing card suits Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts and Spades as well as numbered cards, 10 through Ace. While these playing card symbols cover virtually every icon in the game, there are a few special symbols. The wild symbol in 21 Wilds is depicted by the circular blackjack symbol; this icon can be used to replace any symbol needed to create a winning line in the game with the exception of the bonus and scatter icons. Speaking of the scatter symbol, players will recognize it when they see the stack of poker chips; landing at least three of these on the reels will score gamblers a prize equal to twice their wager and a round of free spins. Finally, players can expect to trigger the bonus round when they receive three treasure chests anywhere on the reels. Most slot games offer big rewards for great combinations on the reels, but 21 Wilds takes a slightly different approach to prize potential. While there are plenty of great payline wins available in the game, a multiplier meter offers a plus one increase for each losing spin on the reels. The meter can reach as high as 16x, and the first win that occurs after one or more losses will multiply that prize by the number on the multiplier meter; this is a fantastic twist that allows gamblers to recoup some of the cash they spend on spins that do not offer a winning payline.Free Spins and the Treasure Chest Bonus
- Landing at least three scattered stacks of poker chips will offer a prize that doubles the player’s per-spin stake and a round of five free spins. This is a great way to score some extra cash on the reels, and the feature uses the same attractively sparse set of icons.
- The Treasure Chest Bonus Feature in 21 Wilds is triggered when players manage to land three bonus symbols, depicted by the treasure chests, on the reels. When this occurs, those three chests will appear on an overlay screen and offers gamblers the opportunity to select one for a cash prize. Choose carefully, as each chest can contain a vastly different coin prize! Players may also want to consider the fact that although the game in no way states that increasing the bet will trigger the bonus round faster, this reviewer’s experience suggests just that.
