Deluxe Wilds by Mancala Gaming – Review, Free Play in Demo Mode

Deluxe Wilds is made with an intention to create a royal vibe by featuring crowns, trumpets, jewelry, and other assets associated with heraldry. Symbols are highly detailed, but even on a small screen of a mobile phone, they look clean and don’t get in the way. The design looks great, but we noticed that some of the animations take time to play, especially when the bonus game selects the wild symbol placement.

At first glance, the systems and mechanics within Deluxe Wilds might seem overwhelming, but when you break them down, things get way simpler. The features in the base game are tied to bonus rounds, which creates interconnected and satisfying gameplay.

Wild symbol collectors

Among the most noticeable visual elements are three crowns: green, purple and red, named Minor, Major and Grand, respectively. Usually, there would be fixed jackpots like in Elite Coin by PoggiPlay, but here, they act as collectors for wilds, increasing the counter each time a coloured wild lands on the last reel. The green collector can hold up to 1,000 wilds, purple has an increased 1,500 limit, and the red one houses up to 2,000.

Free spins

If you get at least two scatters anywhere on the grid plus one of the coloured scatters on the fifth reel, you will start the bonus round. The colour of the last symbol defines which round will start, awarding 10, 15 or 20 free spins. The accumulated wilds will then be used during these free spins, randomly allocating themselves on the reels.

Stacking multipliers

Present only in the bonus game, wilds that activate on the same spot stack and increase their multiplier by 1x, up to 5x. If you get a combo containing more than one multiplier, they will add up, resulting in bigger wins.

Bonus buy

You have an option to skip the grind for wilds and activate any of the three bonus rounds by paying extra. The Minor bonus game costs 78x your stake and includes 30 wild symbols. The Major round comes at the price of 122x with 38 wilds, and the Grand one will require 242x the bet for 50 wilds.

Wilds, Bonus Symbols and Payouts

In the regular game, wild symbols can substitute other normal symbols, which pay out from 0.6x to 5x for a full combo of 5. Wilds themselves have a separate paytable, awarding up to 25x your wager if 5 of them align. Scatters are there for the sole purpose of starting the bonus round.

• RTP: 95% - The potential returns are below the market average. Your play sessions can turn out to be less or more successful because RTP is calculated based on millions of spins.
• Bet Size: C$20 – C$1,800 - You can start playing Deluxe Wilds in Canada for real money with bets as low as C$20. The upper limit of C$1,800 will be more attractive to high rollers.
• Variance: Medium - The slot’s volatility is in the middle ground when it comes to generosity, so expect more or less frequent payouts exceeding those in low-variance titles.

Canadians who like to accumulate bonuses for the free spin round will find Deluxe Wilds attractive with its wild-collecting mechanics. It feels good to unleash all the guaranteed wilds in a bonus game, enabling stacking multipliers for the maximum 10,000x win. We would like to have a way to speed up the animations for each wild symbol, because it becomes a problem with a high number of them, but other than that, it’s a fun title with exciting gameplay.
