Extra Wild is a wonderfully simple-to-play online slot by Merkur. It uses five reels, three rows of symbols, and ten fixed paylines, and its theme relates to money, precious gems, and other symbols of great wealth. What’s particularly interesting about the Extra Wild slot is that you can create winning combinations anywhere on the reels (i.e. from left to right, from right to left, and in the middle) as long as three or matching symbols lie on the same payline. According to Merkur, players are invited to take on the role of a master thief and try to crack open the safe to steal the treasures inside it. And, you’ll spot many safes as you spin the reels as the safe is the wild symbol, which means that it can help you gain more prizes by substituting for other symbols.
With its jewellery heist theme, the Extra Wild slot has you gripped from the get-go, and as its name suggests, it has a trick up its sleeve with regards to its wild symbol. As the number of paylines is fixed at ten, to start playing all you need to do is pick a bet-per spin amount of between 10p and £100, then hit the “Spin” button. There’s also a handy “Max” button which lets you place the maximum bet with a single tap, as well as an Auto-Play option that can be configured to take between five and one hundred spins for you automatically.
Because the theme of the Extra Wild slot relates to breaking into safes, the symbols that you’ll encounter on your mobile screen relate to various valuables such as gold lockets, coins, sapphires, diamonds, rubies, pocket watches, sacks of gold, and gold rings. There are just nine paytable symbols in total which makes it easier than average to form winning combinations, mainly as the game pays all ways.
The most valuable symbol is the Diamond, and the Sapphire and Ruby can also pay out generous cash amounts. However, it’s the wild Safe symbol that you’ll want to land on the reels as often as possible as it can replace any other symbol to create the highest winning combination on any of the ten paylines. Plus, all wins that use one or more Safes are multiplied by x2, x3 or x7!
Although the Extra Wild slot doesn’t offer a Free Spins Bonus as some mobile slots do, it offers you the opportunity to maximise your winnings through its optional Gamble Feature. Each time that you score a win, you can choose to either play the Card Gamble (where you bet on the colour of the next card) or the Ladder Gamble where you either move up the ladder to a bigger prize or move down the ladder to a lower-value prize.
