Wild Mine Slot Review

Overview

Delve down into the underground for treasure and gems in Wild Mine! Wild Mine is an exciting mining and wild west-themed slot from BBGames. You can embark on different mining missions to try and find precious gems and gold. In the background, there is jolly western music playing and the graphics of the game and sound effects also add to the theme. All the symbols represent different gems, or are stylized in a western theme. The gameplay elements also reflect the theme - for example, you can complete mining missions for extra prizes. We like that this game has a non-standard reel layout, and it offers something different from most common video slots. If you want to try your hand at mining, you can play a free demo version of Wild Mine by BBGames here at GoodLuckMate!

How to play

Wild Mine video slot has a non-standard reel layout. It has six reels in total, but each reel has a different number of rows. Reel one and two have two rows, reel three and four have four rows, and reels five and six have six rows. This makes for interesting gameplay, and a total of 60 paylines that are fixed. You can change the total bet value using the up and down arrows at the bottom of the reels. The minimum bet value is €0.60, and the maximum is €120. This means this game more suitable for high rollers.

There is also an autoplay feature that has an advanced set of controls. You can change the number of spins from 5 to a maximum of 100. Also, you can set both a loss limit, and a single win limit to ensure you keep control of your account balance. This game does not have a turbo spin feature, however.   

Symbols and payouts

Wild Mine has a basic paytable that contains 10 symbols. The symbols are a 10, J, Q, K, A, emerald, ruby, opal, diamond, and wild symbol. The numbers and letters represent the lower-paying symbols. These lower-paying symbols all have the same minimum payout of 3x the bet per line for three symbols. Alternatively, of the higher paying symbols, the wild symbol offers the greatest payout multiplier at 1,000x the line bet for six symbols. This wild symbol also substitutes for all other symbols except the bonus symbol.

In this game, you can also embark on missions. The missions are shown in the top left-hand corner. You can click on the “i” icon for more info and to select your mission. There are four levels of mission - bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. Each mission has different criteria, a different number of completion spins, and different prize multipliers. You can select whichever mission you feel you can complete for the chance to win some fantastic prizes.

Best Wild Mine bonus feature

The Wild Mine bonus feature is triggered by the bonus symbol which is the miner standing next to a pile of gold. If you get three or more bonus symbols, you trigger Wild Mine free spins. The base number of free spins you can win is eight, regardless of how many bonus symbols you get over three. The bonus symbol also has its own payout multiplier.

During the free spin bonus rounds, you can accumulate additional spins via the free spin accumulation symbol. If you get three bonus symbols, two columns turn into wilds, and you get two more free spins. If you get six accumulator symbols, you get three columns turning into wilds, and an additional two free spins. For any symbol over six, you get an additional three free spins.   

RTP & volatility

The Wild Mine RTP (Return To Player) is 95.44% to 97.13%. This is decent and on par with the current industry average for video slots which is between 95-96%. In terms of volatility, BBGames has not specified the volatility for Wild Mine. However, you can expect the best wins to come from the different missions, and the free spin bonus rounds.
