The Wild Job

Steampunk is a genre that is receiving more and more attention as the years go by, so it’s no wonder the world of slots is filling with games using the theme as well. SYNOT games are not the first one to tackle the subject, nor is the game revolutionary in any sense. It does, however, seem to offer a slot worth playing with a theme that is more than just window dressing. Jump right in or read a bit more below to find out how the game plays out this time around.

Theme

There’s a wild bank job in the works, and you get to roll the reels to get the best outcome of it. Stacks of money and the open vaults spread across the background, with the reels filled with gold bars, diamonds, sacks of cash, and other symbols of wealth. The audio effects give the notion of impending action, whilst the main characters wait for their turn to jump in and surprise you with free spins.

Betting Options and Functions

Only nine paylines this time, all fixed. The reel setup is standard with five reels in three rows. Betting is controlled by the total bet button, which gives out values between 0.20 and 100 coins per spin. The payouts are based on the total bet and not line bet, and boy are they huge.

The maximum win you can land from any single five symbols combinations is 500 times your total bet. This comes with the wild symbol, which is quite hard to land on the reels. Two symbol combinations for all themed symbols gives a pay out of your total bet. The playing card ranks pay with three to five symbols, offering between one and 15 times your bet. The main symbols run between two and one hundred times your total bet.Variance is quite high so don’t expect to win with every spin. On the other hand, when you do win the prizes are certainly worth keeping.

Features

There are three bonus symbols. All of them are steampunk themed characters, and they only show up on reels one, three, and five. When three are present the player receives ten free spins, which are played with the same bet as the triggering round, as is natural. The feature can be retriggered during the bonus spins, adding another 10 spins to the running tally. During the feature the bonus symbols receive an extra function: they expand to cover the whole reel and at the same time function as wilds, substituting for all other symbols.

Like all other SYNOT games, The WIld Job comes with the gamble function as well. This is the usual guess right game, where you need to choose between black and red color. Right guess lands double the pot, and the wrong guess means you’re back to square one.

Our Take

The Wild Job is not a revolutionary slot by any means. Instead, it’s quite a basic game with a nice theme laid over it. The gameplay works just fine, and there are massive prizes to be had with the right spins. Free spins are extra profitable. This is a fun game that you should definitely give a few spins to.
