Wild Bounty (Hurricane Games) Review

With only 9 releases under their belt including this, Hurricane Games has taken their first stab at the popular pirate slot genre. Wild Bounty is set in a treasure island beach, and the video game-style visuals features a sturdy wooden-legged pirate ready to assist you on the left-hand side. His 3 random barrel features don’t come along all that often, but turning the Super Stake on doubles your Bonus Wheel chances.

The Bonus Wheel is how the bulk of the many features contained in this game can be triggered, including 3 jackpots, the hold-and-win style Link Bonus and the 5x6 reels bonus round. Collecting cannonballs in the reel meters keeps the base game going with some stacked wild action once in a while, and players looking for a feature heavy experience might enjoy this release.

Wild Bounty Slot Features

The Super Stake feature can be turned on/off between spins, and it doubles the price per spin while also doubling your bonus wheel chances. The pirate skull & bones wild steps in for all regular pay symbols, and it also pays the same as the top-tier treasure chest symbol. Landing 5 on a payline awards 20x your stake, and wilds also play a major part in the bonus features we’ll take a closer look at below.

You’ll see 3 holes above each reel, and special cannon symbols will land and fire up to 3 cannonballs towards the holes on the same reel. The cannonballs are collected in the reel meter, and filling all 3 holes on a meter triggers the Wild Stacks feature.

The relevant reel, or reels, turn fully wild for the following 3 spins. If you manage to fill another reel meter, that reel turns wild too, and you get 3 new spins.

The red-bearded pirate on the left-hand side will sometimes initiate the Wild Bounty Pirate feature. He will then throw the barrel he’s holding onto towards the reels, and this awards 1 of 3 features:

• Random Wilds - at least 1 reel position is turned wild from the barrel, but he can throw multiple barrels to turn more positions wild at the same time.
• Random Bombs - fills the meters above random reels, which might trigger the Wild Stacks feature.
• Pick a Barrel - pick 1 of 3 large barrels thrown into the middle of the grid, and this awards the Link Bonus, up to 20 free spins or a bonus prize between x3 and x50.

The Bonus Wheel feature is triggered when you land 3, 4 or 5 bonus scatter symbols anywhere in sight. This is how you can win the 3 fixed jackpots, worth 30 (Minor), 100 (Major) and 1,000 (Grand) times your stake, respectively, and you can also be awarded the streak respins style Link Bonus.

In addition, the bonus wheel contains 3 free spins segments, and the number of possible spins depend on the number of triggering scatters as follows:

• 3 triggering scatters awards the possibility of 5, 10 or 15 free spins.
• 4 triggering scatters awards the possibility of 10, 15 or 20 free spins.
• 5 triggering scatters awards the possibility of 15, 20 or 25 free spins.

The Free Spins round plays out on a 5x6 grid with 50 paylines, and the bomb meters and stacked wild reels are carried over into the bonus round. Stacked wild reels that are carried over or generated during free spins, remain in play for the duration of the feature. Wild stacks generated during the feature are also carried over to the base game.

The Link Bonus is a hold-and-win style feature that comes with 3 respins for starters.

The 200 Spins Wild Bounty Slot Experience

We have a jam-packed highlights video lined up for you today, and it starts with a bang as the Link Bonus is triggered from the wheel. After that has played out, we trigger the wheel a second time, and this awarded us 10 free spins. In the end, you get to see 3 Stacked Wild reels in action, and simply hit the play button below to get started right away.

Review Summary

You cannot accuse Wild Bounty for being light on features at least, but there might just be too much of the good stuff packed into this game. Each spin takes a tad too long for our liking also, but the Wild Stack feature will trigger on a regular basis to break up the grind. Don’t expect too much of it most of the time though, but it can be helpful when you carry stacked wild reels over into the bonus round.

With bet levels as low as 10p per spin, the Super Stake is pretty much a no-brainer, and the Bonus Wheel at heart of this thing does create a bit of tension when it triggers. The Link Bonus is very standard stuff, and the 1,000x Grand Jackpot is not exactly exceptional. The overall 2,500x potential is not all that impressive for a highly volatile release either, but pirate fans who enjoy plenty of variety might find this release interesting.

Pros

• Cannonball collecting turn reels wild for 3 spins
• Bonus Wheel w/ 3 jackpots, FS and Link Bonus
• FS w/ 5x6 reels and 50 paylines
• Streak respins style Link Bonus w/ 1,000x jackpot
• 3 randomly triggered Wild Bounty Pirate features

Cons

• Max win is only 2,500x your stake
• A bit too much stuffed into one game
