Interesting Netent Release: Wild Rockets
A new one for Net Ent this – a 720-way slot and it looks lovely graphically – a mix of Manga and Steampunk. Popular in offline casinos this style of slot doesn’t get much exposure in online casin0s although we are starting to see more of them recently.
Here’s what Net Entertainment have to say about the slot:
Wild Rockets™ is the first of Net Entertainment’s online video slots to offer 720 ways to win on a geometrical reel shape where the reels are 3 x 4 x 5 x 4 x 3. In addition to these innovative features, Wild Rockets™ also features Wild symbols that change every symbol above or below it into additional Wilds. With animations on every win and a truly massive amount of coins to be won, Wild Rockets™ proves Net Entertainment’s uncompromising determination to offer only the highest quality online gaming experience.
To be fair I think they are right to be proud of this one, especially as it follows a run of releases a little below their previous quality in terms of gameplay.
There’s a genuine sense of excitement with the wilds in this game, something last felt by many players with the lightning wilds of Frankenstein. It’s great for us slot players that Microgaming and NetEnt are both upping their game at the same time (NetEnt are still way ahead in my opinion) – when a couple more games providers get in on the act we’ll be looking at a golden period for online slots.
Free Spins:
Free spins are awarded when you get 3 or more scatters – you can get up to 50 free spins.
Wild symbols:
The wild rockets of the title are exactly that – when a rocket lands anywhere on the reel it shoots up (or down) and turns all symbols above and below it wild too.
Very nice feature and although it’s widely used it just feels more exciting with the whizzing rockets.
The Wilds only appear on the middle 3 reels as usual but if you land a couple of them then you’re in for a big return.
Payout is in the very high 90s and the variance (spin to hit ratio and return) seems very nicely balanced.
