The Wild Wings of Phoenix Slot Review
You’ve got to hand it to people like Cher and Justin Timberlake 🎤. They could have faded into obscurity after ending it with Sonny Bono, or the breakup of NSYNC, respectively, but the two of them went on to reinvent themselves and emerge even stronger. 💪
Unlike when Michale Jordan decided to become a baseball player ⚾️, or when Cindy Lauper tried her hand at country music. And then there was that “New Coke” fiasco... 🙄
Reinvention, rebirth, and all of that stuff are the themes for today’s game, The Wild Wings of Phoenix slot from Booming Games. Let’s check it out.
Gameplay
Say this game’s name in your best Borat voice. Go on, you know you wanna.
Now, I’m going to hazard a guess and say that the aesthetics of Booming’s creation are Mayan. Do you agree?
So, what’s the link between the Mayans and the Phoenix? Apparently, there isn’t one. It appears the designers just decided to throw those elements together and hope for the best. Let’s move on coz I’m pretty sure y’all don’t care about the design or theme anyway.
This 5-reel game has 10 paylines, a 95.40% 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., and a medium to high volatility rate. And I’m surprised to see that the potential payout isn’t hampered by the latter; in fact, there’s $250,000 up for grabs. But the downside is that the max multiplier is a crappy 500x. 💩
Features
EXPANDING WILDS:
Wilds can land on reels 2, 3, and 4 and when they do, they’ll expand to take over the whole reel. Wilds replace all symbols that aren’t Scatters.
UNLIMITED (THAT’S RIGHT!) FREE SPINS:
You’ll get 12 Free Spins when you hit 3 or more Scatters, but landing an additional 3 Scatters re-triggers the round, which you can keep doing indefinitely. Wilds can also trigger spins: 1, 2, or 3 Wilds award 1, 3, and 5 spins, respectively.
Free Spins are progressive; meaning there are levels that you can advance across. Each Wild symbol that lands increases your level by 1.
The upshot is that specific symbols change into other symbols until the round finishes (you’ll see the levels and the affected symbols in a meter above the reels). It’s not exactly thrilling, nor is it as wallet-engorging as I would’ve liked.
Performance
The game will time out after 10 minutes of inactivity, but other than that, it did what it was supposed to during testing.
Maximum Win
Because the max multiplier is only 500x (boo!), it means you’ll have to pay a staggering $500 per spin to be in the running for the $250,000 potential payout. Betting starts at only $0.10 for those of you who aren’t up for such crazy spending.
Conclusion
OK, so here’s the thing: coughing up 500 bucks a shot is out of reach for most players. And why should you have to? There are tons of games that offer the same amount of money and have similar or exactly the same volatility rates but much higher max multipliers.
If chasing a quarter of a mil isn’t on your agenda, then what’s left? Unlimited Free Spins. Diamond Hit slot – for example – offers that too, but with a 2,000x multiplier, a medium volatility rate, and a potential purse of $300,000.
And that game has a gamble feature and some other things to spice it up.
