Wild Wild Pearls Slot Review

Wild Wild Pearls Slot Overview

Wild Wild Pearls is a casino slot from Pragmatic Play that takes you on an underwater adventure. Here at the seabed, you’ll find friendly and cute animals led by the one and only Poseidon, the god of the sea from Greek mythology. However, Poseidon isn’t really the one we are here for, as we are looking for the real treasure: oysters. Okay, well, it might not actually be the oysters, but the shiny pearls inside of them, which act as Money Symbols in the game that can come with jackpots worth 100X the bet. The game is played as a simple treasure hunt, where if you can fill out entire reels of Money Symbols, you will be awarded additional multipliers to help you reach the max win of 5,000X the bet. If you can’t get enough of life under the sea, you should check out other games such as Ancient Fortunes Poseidon Megaways or Release the Kraken Megaways. 

Wild Wild Pearls is a video slot from Pragmatic Play with 6 reels, a 3-3-4-4-4-4 row setup, and 576 ways to win. Players can choose between making a Min.bet of 0.2 and a Max.bet of 240. The game sits at a higher-than-average RTP of 96.46% by default; however, take note of other versions of the game with lower RTPS sitting at 95.47% and 94.54%. Wild Wild Pearls is played with high volatility, a hit frequency of 27.85%, and a max win of 5,000X. However, the max win hit frequency is very low, averaging 1 in every 45,454,500 spins, with the Free Spins feature activation frequency averaging out at 1 in every 196.18 spins.

Wild Wild Pearls Slot Information

From the algae-covered playing grid, we can see corals and the ruins of Atlantis, with sea denizens swimming by. This is accompanied by an upbeat, underwater-esque soundtrack that sounds like it comes out of The Little Mermaid. On the side of the reels, you can see a list of the current prices you can cash in on with the help of Poseidon’s power. The game can be played on most mobiles, notepads, and desktops. Wins are made by landing 3 or more of the same symbols in adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel.

The lower-paying symbols are card suites, starting with blue diamonds, red hearts, pink spades, and green clubs. Landing a win with 6 of the same symbols pays out 0.5X to 1X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are fishes, seahorses, starfish, turtles, and octopuses. Creating a win with 6 of the same symbols pays out 1.25X to 5X the bet. On the reels, you can also find Wild Symbols, Scatters and Money Symbols, but more details about those in the next section.

Wild Wild Pearls Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot Wild Wild Pearls?

You can win up to 5,000X the bet.

What features are available in the slot Wild Wild Pearls?

The features are Wild Symbols, Money Collect, Free Spins, Ante Bet, and Feature Buy.

Wild Symbols

Wild Symbols help create winning combinations by being able to substitute for all symbols except Scatters, Super Scatters, and Money Symbols. Wilds can only appear on reels 1 and 2.

Money Collect

Money Symbols can only land on reels 3, 4, 5, and 6 and can land with Money Prizes ranging from 0.5X to 10X or a Jackpot ranging from Mini, Minor, Major, or Mega worth 25X, 50X, 75X, or 100X, respectively. These prizes can be collected by Wild Symbols landing on reels 1 and 2 alongside adjacent Money Symbols, forming a left-to-right payway.

If a reel is full of collected Money Symbols, the multiplier that sits on top of the reel will be applied to the total win. These multipliers range from 2X on reels 3 and 4, and 4X on reels 5 and 6.

Free Spins

There are two types of Free Spins: the standard version and the Super Free Spins. These bonus games are activated by landing Wild Symbols on reels 1 and 2 and a Scatter or Super Scatter on reel 3.

Free Spins = Start with 10 initial spins, and more Money Symbols are present on the reels.

Super Free Spins = Start with 10 initial spins and, along with the bonuses from the standard Free Spins, the Money Collect Reel Multipliers are increased to 3X and 5X.

You can retrigger either bonus game by landing the same triggering symbols, awarding +5 spins.

Ante Bet

You can activate the Ante Bet for an extra cost of 50% of the current bet. While activated, the chances to land 2 Wilds on reels 1 and 2 are increased.

Feature Buy

You can instantly activate either of the Free Spins bonuses from the base game for a price based on the current bet.

75X = Activates the Free Spins feature.

150X = Activates the Super Free Spins feature.

Wild Wild Pearls Slot Conclusion

That’s Wild Wild Pearls, a simple, fast-paced game with a unique playing grid that takes you on a trip down under where it is wetter and better. Although we have seen many games taken on this exact theme, even from Pragmatic Play themselves, Wild Wild Pearls doesn’t strive for any uniqueness, and somehow, that gives it a feeling of a breath of fresh air. However, in its simplicity, it doesn’t do anything new, and while it isn’t necessarily bad, the theme and setting can grow quite stale, especially for veterans who have played similar games over the years.

Over to the gameplay, we can start with the main feature, the Money Collect, and the Wild Symbols. The Money Collect feature works perfectly with the unique playing grid, especially with the droves of Wild Symbols that can land on the first two reels, leading to chains of consistent wins. However, one minor change to the Money Collect feature that we don’t always see that might annoy some players is the fact that the Money symbols have to be part of a payline with Wilds, compared to just being collected by a special symbol. In the full picture, this isn’t that bad of an issue, especially with the Free Spins features that grant extra Money Symbols to help form longer and bigger collect sprees. If you are looking for a fun and fast-paced game with simple features, Wild Wild Pearls might just be for you.

Wild Wild Pearls is a slot where Poseidon invites you to Atlantis to search for Cash Prizes and Jackpots.
