Wild Booster

Attention punters! The fruits have gone wild, and they are on a mission to appeal to all types of punters, not only the fans of the classic-style online slot machines!

Wild Booster is a retro-themed online theme; however, it comes with a twist, offering a reel boost of vitamins in the shapes of various multipliers and free spin rounds!

Pragmatic Play made an attempt not to create a game to fall into the category of simple classics, so let's see if they succeeded!

Theme and Symbols

Although the devs brought many new things to the table, we cannot say that for the game's visuals. This, however, does not necessarily mean a bad thing, a least not for the classic-style slots fans!

So, note to fruit fans, you will be thrilled!

The game features a bright but straightforward purple background, while the golden-lined reels show colorful icons including well-known fruit symbols – lemons, strawberries, oranges, cherries, four playing card suits made out of gems, and of course, the lucky 7, while...

...the two diamonds represent the Wild and the Scatter!

Although you might not have expected to hear a tune in the background, there is one, and it perfectly accompanies the action, adding nicely to the overall playing experience!

Betting Options and Other Functions

Before you start spinning these juicy reels, you need to set your bets ranging from €0.2 to €100, which will appeal to both low and high-risk players.

The game boasts a maximum win of 5000x the stake available, with an above-average return-to-player percentage of 96.47% combined with high volatility!

The grid consists of 5 reels and 3 rows, offering 20 ways to win, and to form a winning combination, you will need at least three matching symbols!

Speaking of symbols, the playing card suits are the lowest rewarding ones, while the highest-rewarding is the red seven, paying up to 30x the bet for five across a pay line!

The special Wild symbol lands on all reels and replaces the regular symbols and the Scatter!

Special Features

As you may conclude from the title, the game revolves highly on its Wild symbol, so, besides performing its usual substituting role, it can also randomly trigger the Wild Boost feature whenever at least one Wild symbol lands on the reels!

When this occurs, a randomly chosen multiplier from x2 to x100will be awarded and applied to all wins that contain at least one Wild symbol.

Next, land at least three diamond Scatter symbols anywhere across the grid, and you will trigger the Super Boost Bonus Round!

Before the round starts, punters get a chance to select either Mega Boost free spins or the Ultra Boost option.

Before you start playing the chosen round, you will be presented with a multiplier trail above the reels to collect all the triggering Scatters. The two possible options are:

• Mega Boost – awards 5 free spins and an x2 multiplier to start with. Whenever you collect 5 Scatters in the trail, you will increase the multiplier to x5 and be awarded 5 additional extra spins, then for another five Scatters, the multiplier goes to x10 and so on until it reaches the value of x100!
• Ultra Boost – gives punters 5 free spins and an x3 multiplier. The difference from the above-described option is that the multiplier can go up to x50! 

Although the maximum multiplier here is lower, the Scatters' frequency is bigger than with the Mega Boost!

Lastly, if you cannot wait for the feature to be triggered by itself, you can choose the Buy feature option, and for the 75x the bet, you will speed your way to the free spins round!

Conclusion

The thing about most of the fruit-themed online slots is that they usually fall into a cut-and-dried framework. So, whenever devs want to try to spice things up, they opt for changing the design or gameplay.

The Pragmatic Play team has decided to improve the game's pack of bonuses, which is probably the main thing needed to attract all types of punters, as the fans of the classics are all about the retro feeling, while the others care more about the complicated options, and Wild Booster boasts both!
