Wild Walker Review

Wild Walker Reviewed by Casinogamesonnet.com

Wild Walker is a five-reel, 25-payline slot from Pragmatic Play. It revolves around zombies in a post-apocalyptic urban area—a la The Walking Dead TV-series.

The hysteria surrounding zombies has simmered a little in recent years. Nevertheless, the undead still make for an entertaining theme when done right. We’ll discuss whether Pragmatic Play nails the theme here or if Wild Walker should be avoided like a zombie-causing pathogen.

Gameplay and Atmosphere

This slot features five reels and 25 paylines running across a 5x3 grid. You can enjoy up to eight reels in the bonus round (explained under features).

The atmosphere is where Wild Walker really shines. It appears that the zombie apocalypse has already started, with burning cars, smoky skies, and ravens all covering the dismal landscape.

Pragmatic Play has done a solid job of creating a true wasteland of a city. The soundtrack, which sounds like a mixture of undead creatures and an old-school arcade, amps up the entertainment level.

Wild Walker isn’t a game for the faint of heart. It offers plenty of gore and zombie abominations. As long as you’re not eating while playing, though, then you shouldn’t have a problem stomaching it all.

Wild Walker Max Win, Payouts and Symbols

The lowest-paying symbols include royals ranging from A through J. High pays consist of a needle gun, test tubes, and four living characters.

A mad scientist pays the most among regular symbols at 20x your stake for five symbols. You can look forward to regular wins worth up to 400x in the bonus round. This slot offers a maximum win worth 4,900x your stake with features included.

Finally, a “Wild Walker” zombie serves as the wild symbol. Appearing stacked (1x3) in a reel during each main-game spin, it substitutes for other icons to help form wins.

Wild Walker RTP, Volatility and Betting Options

The betting range runs from €0.25 to €125 per spin. The Wild Walker RTP is 96.55%, which is pretty good.

Pragmatic Play rates the volatility at 5/5. Therefore, the gameplay is just as suspenseful as a high-budget zombie film.

Wild Walker Features

This game’s features mainly revolve around the Wild Walker and a detailed bonus round. You can read about each of these bonuses below.

Stacked/Roaming Wild Symbol

You never need to worry about landing wild symbols in this game. The Wild Walker, which is a stacked wild (1x3), appears in a random reel during every base-game round.

It moves to a new reel whenever the next spin starts (a.k.a. roaming). The Wild Walker also offers payouts worth up to 6x for four matching symbols.

Free Spins

You trigger 8 free spins when landing 3+ scatter symbols (skull in gas mask) anywhere on the reels. These free games include different levels.

You start at level 1 when triggering the bonus with 3 scatters. Meanwhile, you begin at level 2 when unlocking free spins with 4 scatters.

Every time that you collect 3+ scatters in the bonus, you’ll move up another level and receive +2 free spins (no limit). Here are the various levels:

• Level 1 – 5 reels and one roaming wild.
• Level 2 – 6 reels, one locked roaming wild on reel 1, and one roaming wild.
• Level 3 – 7 reels, two locked roaming wilds on reel 1 & 2, and one roaming wild.
• Level 4 – 8 reels, three locked roaming wilds on reels 1 through 3, and one roaming wild.

Final Thoughts

Zombie and The Walking Dead fans will no doubt appreciate Wild Walker. This game features the type of graphics, symbols, and atmosphere that fans of this slots genre have come to love. Pragmatic Play has certainly excelled in the design department here.

The base game becomes tedious at times. Outside of the stacked/roaming wild on each spin, it doesn’t offer any other special elements.

You really need to trigger free spins to enjoy any kind of big win potential. Once in the bonus, you can look forward to more reels, locked wilds, and the standard roaming wilds.

In summary, Wild Walker is a well-designed slot that should satisfy many players. The only real downside is that the main game feels boring at times.
