wild frames slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

The theme of wild frames is a mixture of old school fruit machine inspired symbols mixed with playing card suits and a few extras to make sure that you are aware you are playing a futuristic vision of the genre. The only other game that sprins to mind which uses a similar set of symbols is NetEnt’s Twin Spin, although I have no doubt there are countless more. The graphics are more than adequate for this type of game, although there is nothing particularly special about them – Play’N’Go video slots usually put a little more effort into their appearance than the Wild Frames online slot. That said, it Is pretty – just a little generic. The “wild frames“ announcement lady gives way to an ambient soundtrack which is pleasantly ambient and sits nicely in the background as you spin the wheels. 

The paytable is particularly interesting in the Wild Frames video slot. The top “7” symbol pays out 500x your bet should you accumulate 30 of them during a single spin. The diamond symbol halves this down to 250x your stake, whils the star on a green background pays 150x your stake for 30 or more in a single spin. The last of the big paying symbols is the bell, which pays 75x your stake for the same minimum of 30 in a single spin. Payouts drop off extremely quickly if you hit less than 30 symbols – for example, 25 or more “7” symbols pays just 121x your stake. In short, you really do need to hit that maximum of 30 symbols to reach the big payouts in this game.

Betting ranges are typical of Play’N’Go with €0.20 being the minimum bet and €100.00 being the maximum. I’m really not sure if it is necessary to write this every time, but stay away from the ridiculous top end of the spectrum – you will lose your shirt quicker than you can count to ten.

base game & modifiers

The basic gameplay of the Wild Frames video slot takes place on a 7x7 grid, and you need to achieve a cluster of at least five matching symbols in adjacent positions horizontally or vertically to be awarded a win. Each time you do hit a win, the symbols will explode and be removed from the grid. This process can continue indefinitely until there are no more winning combinations on screen. Non-winning spins have a chance to receive a boost of 4-6 additional wild symbols, although the paytable does not mention what the odds of this happening actually are.

Every wild symbol which lands creates a sticky frame on all of the positions on which they land. If a wild lands on a square that is already a frame position, the frame will be upgraded with a multiplier instead. This sounds great, but the frames remain inactive until you hit the Wild Frames feature.

wild frames slot bonus feature

The bonus round in Wild Frames video slot is the Wild Frames feature. Nicely done Play’N’Go – originality should be your middle name. Lame dad jokes aside, the Wild Frames feature is where the biggest wins can be found, but you will need to get the meter all the way to 80 symbols in order to take advantage of it. 

So, manage a cascade of 80 winning symbols and all those frames you have been collecting will finally come alive! You can even overcharge the meter, if your win keeps on going past 80 symbols – for every additional ten you add to the meter, two extra wild symbols will be added to the screen. 

Every symbol that is located in a frame position wil turn into a wild, and  your total win will be multiplied by whichever frame has the highest multiplier. I had to see this feature for myself, but it has taken me the best part of the afternoon to achieve it – my total win was 312x my stake… not bad, but not exactly mindblowing either. Still, there is definitely some huge potential here – the only issue is that Play’N’Go have capped the maximum win at 7,000x your stake, so if you reach this number your bonus round will be cut short and you will be unable to make use of any additional combinations which might have fallen if it were not for this slightly unfair “feature”.
