Wildhound Derby Slot Review
I’m sure there will be a couple of animal activists who will not appreciate this game, and to be honest the thought of dog races doesn’t really get my enthusiasm going but at least it is a digital version, so no dogs were harmed in the making of this game. It has it all, crowds, lights, tension, excitement and winnings. Wildhound Derby takes you to the tracks without you having to leave the house. Get your bets ready…
Gameplay
Wildhound Dreby is a 5x4 reel, 30 payline slot powered by Play'n Go software. The symbols include Rolls of cash, Red ribbon, Bet slips, Form guides and Card suit symbols. Special symbols are the Trophy wild symbol and 4 race dog wilds that when stacked will trigger the free spins races round. There is also a bonus feature present within the free spins races. More details will be given in the feature’s section.
Below the reels you will find an Information icon with the Pay table followed by the balance window. Next up is the increase and decrease bet buttons followed by the bet window and the Spin button with the Autoplay button next to it.
Features
Wildhound Derby has your regular wild symbol feature during the base game that is the Trophy, but the main attraction here is landing the hound races free spins feature where the 4 Derby hounds race against each other. In order to trigger the feature you must land all 4 hounds, stacked, on the last reel. The hounds, when landed on the last reel also act as wilds to maximise winnings.
Unique Features
Before the races begin, you need to choose which hound you want to back in the upcoming race and it plays out as follows:
Once you have chosen your hound the reels convert into a race track with the same symbols in the base game (the track serves as the reels for the free spin wins) where the hounds are lined up on the right in reel 5 and on the left hand side you will see the finish line with golden hare coins lined up like the hounds are on the right hand side of the reels. A coin is flipped for each spin and if landing on the side with the hare, the corresponding hound will move closer to the finish line (the hare can show up for more than one dog at a time).
The free spins continue until a hound has reached the finish line. If your chosen hound does not win the race you still walk away with all the winnings you accumulated in the free spins. If you chosen hound was the winner you get the chance to spin the Winner’s Wheel bonus feature. Here you can multiply your winnings by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 15x.
Performance
Wildhound Derby may not have the best graphics out there but you still get all the thrills as if you were physically at the races. The free spin feature really brings the excitement and tension along with it. The game does come with high volatility but there is a stake of 15000x and an 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. of 96.93% that should make you want to give it a go in any case.
Max Win
The max coin win is 1500000
Conclusion
I’ve never been a fan of dog racing but Wildhound Derby sure makes it appealing with the atmosphere and excitement that it creates. I’m happy that it’s all digital and a slot at that, which will keep a smile on my face as well as on my pooch’s face. Great game with huge winning potential.
