Ticket to Wild Slot Review
Some things might not be what they seem. Take The Beatles, for example. They were oh-so clean-cut (before they got into mind-expanding pastimes) and churned out songs 🎶 such as Ticket to Ride which became a number 1 hit in the UK, US, and Canada. 🍁🇨🇦
The only thing is, you can interpret the song in a way that’s not very kosher. You see, a ride, in British slang, is to make the sexy time. 😳
Andrew Trendall and Gaby Whitehill of online music news site, Gigwise, reckon it’s a song about a woman leaving her boyfriend to become – how shall we put this? – a lady of the night. A chippy. A wanton hussy, even.
But put down that bible and halt with the Hail Marys; Ticket to Wild slot from Evolution features not one woman of ill repute. 😮💨
Gameplay
I love to travel and have been to many countries – and I’m not done yet. Seeing icons representing Australia, France, India, and Japan has brought the bug on hard. Now all’s I need is some sweet dinero to fund my expeditions.
The game’s grid is made up of 5 reels and 4 rows, with the bottom row locked to start with. You unlock this row by… I almost spilled the beans. 🙊 You’ll need to skip to the Features section if you wanna find out.
Don’t worry; I won’t hold you up for too long. Here are some stats before we get to the good stuff:
- 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.: 93.10% - Volatility RateSlot games can have low, medium, high, or extremely high volatility rates (or a combination thereof).
The less volatile the game, the more often it should pay out, but the lower the amount, the less the payout, as this is in keeping with the risk you’re taking. Volatility rate should be considered in conjunction with a game’s RTP.: High - Max Multiplier: 2,500x
- Max Win: $125,000
Features
CREDIT CARD FEATURE:
What would travel be without credit cards to put us in debt? Gathering credit cards during the base game adds pins (you know, like those you drop on your map application) to the reel counter.
Collecting pins for a reel gets you a fully Expanded (Ticket) Wild on that reel which will stay put for 3 spins.
PROGRESS BAR:
You’ll need to fill the meter, which you’ll find to the right of the grid, with ink. Ink Blobs appear on top of symbols and when they do, they’ll boost the Progress Bar by a factor of 1.
There are 4 Milestones that you’ll need to achieve, and these offer unique modifiers:
-
Milestone Number 1: Allows the Ticket Wild to remain on screen for 1 more spin. Requires 50 Ink Blobs
-
Milestone Number 2: This is how you unlock the bottom row, thereby increasing the number of paylines from 20 to 25. Requires 100 Ink Blobs
-
Milestone Number 3: Ticket Wilds will need 1 less pin to be awarded. Yay! Requires 150 Ink Blobs
-
Milestone Number 4: All Ticket Wilds gain a 2x multiplier. Whoop whoop! Requires 200 Ink Blobs
FREE SPINS:
Nail 3 Scatters on reels 1, 3, and 5 to be rewarded with 10 spins. You’ll get 2 Ticket Wilds on the first spin; you know, just to get you into the swing of things. They’ll change positions with each spin until they disappear.
If you unlock all of the Milestones by the time you enter the Free Spins round, you’ll start with 3 Ticket Wilds rather than 2.
PROGRESSIVE JACKPOTS:
Ticket to Wild slot is part of a linked Jackpot. A percentage of each bet contributes to the prizes you can win, and the larger your bet, the better your chance of triggering a Jackpot.
There are two types of Jackpots: a timed one (in this case, payouts are made every hour), and a Super Jackpot, which increases with no ceiling. You can trigger these Jackpots randomly on any spin.
Performance
Ticket to Wild slot times out pretty damn fast, but other than that, you should find the gameplay experience smooth and hassle-free.
Maximum Win
Yeah, so a high volatility rate only gets you $125,000 – that sucks. The max multiplier is also a measly little thing, at 2,500x. Betting ranges from $0.10 to $50.
Conclusion
I’m not impressed in the slightest with the volatility rate vs. payout disparity. And while we’re on the topic, I’m also not happy about the lack of a Buy Bonus or at the very least, an Ante BetAn Ante Bet is an option that costs a percentage of your bet but increases your chances of landing triggering symbols that initiate a feature..
But maybe that aligns with the theme. Traveling is all about long flights, delays, and frustration, so it makes sense in that way (but I’m sure consistency wasn’t the studio’s objective).
The game’s graphics are stunning but the action is ho-hum, as we’ve only got a Free Spins round to interject while we spend time gathering up Ink Blobs intermittently. Which can take forever.
