Wild Antics slot machine boasts magnificent graphics and illustrations that actually tell a story of their own. The lush grassy landscape serves as the backdrop to the reels, that is home to multiple theme-related icons, including ladybugs, caterpillars, and snails.

I sometimes criticise slot makers for making slots which are too cute or cartoony… but this one is a winner. The ants and the aardvark are just too cool. The slot itself is a real fun filled and action packed belter with features galore and some massive wins hidden neatly away. Certainly not a slot you want to go all out for for too long as it can eat your bank balance quicker than you can spell the word aardvark out loud! But when the good times roll this will be a firm favourite.

How to Win

As we mentioned, there are 30 paylines but these can be altered and lowered, if you want. You can do this from the 'Lines' section but we recommend always playing with the maximum number of paylines. The more the number, the more the possibilities. You can set the coin value from the 'Bet/Line' section, and this can be between 0.01 and 5.00. Choosing 5 will make the maximum bet amount equal to 150 coins. Playing with the maximum bet amount is the safest strategy here, even if you are playing in demo mode.

As you can see, all of them have high payment values. Especially the jackpot symbol – five them awards the player with 50.000 coins. This is a big value and can make you rich in seconds. There are other special symbols in the game too, which we will explain below.

Bonus Rounds and Free Spins

There are three special symbols in the game; wild, jackpot and feature (scatter).

Jackpot symbol is shown with a 'Jackpot' sign and it is the most valued symbol in the game.

Wild symbol is shown with the 'Wizard of Oz' sign and substitutes for all other symbols, except feature (scatter).

And for the Feature symbol… This is where it gets interesting, especially if you are looking for free credits for Wizard of Oz slots. This symbol is shown with an Emerald picture, there is a 'Feature' sign beneath it. Three of them activates the 'Oz Pick Me' Feature. Depending on your choice, you will activate one of the nine bonus rounds. These are:

  • Glinda Good Witch: The good witch symbol will start to appear on reels one through five during the main game. This symbol acts like wild and turns the entire reel it appeared on into wild.

  • Winged Monkey: This is the free spins feature. If you pick this one, you are awarded with 8 free spins. During the spins, entire reels change and two more wild symbols start to appear on them. First one is the 'Winged Monkeys Wild Symbol' which acts like a normal wild and substitutes other symbols. The second is called 'Winged Monkey Wİld Feature' and appears only on middle reel. Once it appears, you need to click on it. After that, the screen will be filled by flying monkeys and they will randomly remove some of the symbols from the reels. New ones will drop from above and offer you another winning combination chance. You can re-trigger this round by landing 'Winged Monkey Re-Trigger' symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5. These symbols will award you with 8 more free spins with the same ruleset.
