20 Wild Gobbler Slot Review
Michel Lotito, a stage act from Grenoble billed as Monsieur Mangetout, ate an entire Cessna 150 🛩️ between 1978 and 1980. I’m not kidding - he ate a goddamn airplane, people!
He chowed about 2 pounds a day and washed it all down with mineral oil… because of course that’s what you do. He also put away 18 bicycles 🚲, 15 shopping carts and a coffin.
Amusnet Games has put a gobbler on stage for 20 Wild Gobbler slot - this time it’s not some crazy French dude with a penchant for metal, but a gent in a top hat 🎩 with a taste for gold.
Gameplay
No, we’re not in a farm yard with turkeys mobbing us - instead, we’re on a stage with red curtains flanking each side. Our top hat-wearing homie pops out every so often from the left (it gets annoying), and that’s the sum of the game’s aesthetics.
The 5x3 grid has 20 paylines, the RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. is 96.14%, volatility is very high, and the max multiplier is 6,740x. The max win is $134,800, with bets running from $0.20 to $20 a spin.
It's fiat currencies only, and the Japanese yen doesn't get a ticket to the show. When wins land on different paylines in the same spin, they get added together.
The cheap seats belong to the 10, J, Q, K and A symbols, which all pay 0.5x, 2.5x and 10x for 3, 4 and 5 of a kind, respectively.
The Coin pays 1x, 5x and 20x for 3, 4 and 5, respectively, but its real job is being the thing the Wild eats, and that matters a lot more once we get to Features.
Glove and Bow Tie share 2x, 10x and 50x, while Top Hat steps it up to 3x, 15x and 100x, because the hat was always going to outrank the rest of the wardrobe.
The Bar headlines at 5x, 20x and 200x for 3, 4 and 5, respectively, and it's the only symbol that pays for 2 of a kind, at 0.5x.
The Wild only lands on reels 2 to 5, so it can't build a line on its own, and it substitutes for everything except the Bonus symbol. You won't find 2 Wilds on the same reel, and a Wild never shares a reel with a Bonus either.
In the base game, the Wild doesn't land naturally at all, because it only walks on stage through Mystery Collect. In Free Spins, it appears as usual.
The jackpots are Jackpot Cards, 4 levels named by suit, running from Club at the bottom through Diamond and Heart up to Spade at the top. Each level's value sits next to its suit rather than as a fixed multiplier.
Features
MYSTERY COLLECT:
Mystery Collect can trigger at random at the end of a spin in the base game, when our intrepid top-hat-wearing gent appears by chance next to the slot.
He turns a symbol into a Wild and adds coin value to the Coins on screen, and then the Wild collects that value and it gets paid to you.
Since that's the only door the Wild uses in the base game - this little cameo is the base game's entire personality.
FREE SPINS:
Land 3, 4 or 5 Bonus symbols and you get 10, 15 or 20 Free Spins, respectively. The Bonus symbol appears on all reels, though never twice on the same one.
During Free Spins, every Coin symbol carries a random value for the Wild to collect. If there's more than 1 Wild on screen, each Wild collects from every Coin, so 2 Wilds eat the same buffet twice.
When a line win uses the Wild and there are Coins to collect, the Wild clears its plate first and then pays the line.
Each time a Wild shows up, one character head goes onto the Progression bar next to the slot. Every 4th head wins you another 10 spins plus a bigger multiplier on the Coin values the Wild collects, so the meal gets richer the longer the show runs.
The ladder runs 2x on the 1st retrigger, 4x on the 2nd, 8x on the 3rd and 16x on the 4th, with 10 more spins each time. On a retrigger, the multipliers apply only after the first 10 Free Spins have already been played.
When the last spin is done, the round's total can go into the Gamble, as long as it's equal to or less than the limit set in the Information screen.
Mystery Coins
Mystery Coins is a random feature during Free Spins, and it can only trigger when a spin ends with a Wild on screen but no Coin and no line win. The character turns 1 to 5 symbols into Coins and the Wild can collect their values.
BUY BONUS:
There's 1 option, and 80x buys you immediate entry into the Free Spins round. That’s a damn good price, I’ll have you know.
JACKPOT CARDS:
Jackpot Cards can trigger at random after a game is finished and any winnings are collected. Once it fires, you're guaranteed 1 of the 4 levels, and it plays on top of the base game like an intermission act, without ending it.
You get a pick field of 12 face-down cards and keep flipping until 3 matching suits show up. That suit is your level, and the amount accumulated at that moment drops straight into your balance.
Every time you enter, you have a random chance at any level with a qualifying bet. Autoplay pauses when the round triggers and picks up where it left off afterward, but Jackpot Cards wins can't be taken into the Gamble.
GAMBLE:
After a win of $35 or less, you can hit GAMBLE and call RED or BLACK on a face-down card that flashes between the two. Guess right and the amount doubles, then a new card appears and you go again until you hit COLLECT or run out of attempts.
Guess wrong and the amount is gone and the game is finished. The maximum number of attempts is set per game, anywhere from 1 to 5.
Performance
Chowing down on airplanes can’t be easy - certainly not on the teeth - but the software powering this game made sure things ran nice and smooth.
Maximum Win
Feed the max multiplier of 6,740x a $20 top bet and the Gobbler coughs up a max win of $134,800. The smallest bet you can place is $0.20 a spin.
Conclusion
The game's money lives in Free Spins coin collection, because the Wild collects every Coin value on screen and the Progression bar's doubling multipliers land on exactly those collected values.
The base game doesn't carry you. With the Wild only turning up through the random Mystery Collect, you're living on line pays the rest of the time, and the best of those is 200x for 5 Bars.
Even 200x on all 20 paylines at once only adds up to 4,000x, which is still well short of the 6,740x max multiplier (which sucks for very high volatility, by the way).
The rest of the way has to come off collected Coins. That means filling the Progression bar again and again, stacking 10 more Free Spins and a bigger multiplier each time, and getting multiple Wilds on screen so each one collects every Coin.
The Buy Bonus is the good part of the deal, because 80x is less than the going rate for a Free Spins buy. Jackpot Cards is pure chance that you can't buy or steer, so treat any suit you land as dessert.
The Gamble is a straight red or black double on wins of $35 or less. I'd take it on small wins and leave anything that actually fattens the wallet alone.
High-risk players with a bankroll that can wait out a base game where the Wild only shows up through Mystery Collect are the audience for this game.
