The Wild Class

The Wild Class Review

For those who came of age in the 80s, The Wild Class from Play’n Go will definitely be a nostalgic trip down memory lane. It takes place in 1983, and the 3 senior undergrads, Jess, Mike and Chris, are harboring a terrible secret. They turn into fully stacked werewolf wilds in the bonus round, or at least 1 to 3 of them do. The 5x3 grid is set in an eerily quiet fairground, with the full moon hanging low over the rollercoaster in the background.

The cheerleader, sports jock and geek land fully stacked, and a multiplier increases per character symbol (and/or wild) that lands fully in view. The ‘teenage werewolf factor’ is running high when the bonus round triggers, not least if you manage to turn all 3 of them into stacked werewolf wilds. The math model is pretty typical for this developer, although the 6,666x potential has been adjusted upwards a bit to fit the horror theme.

The Wild Class Slot Features

The 3 character symbols, Mike, Chris and Jess, are stacked 1x3 premiums that can cover the full reel at times. They pay 6 to 10 x your stake for 5-oak, and also wilds are stacked as 1x3 symbols. The wilds step in for all regular pay symbols to help you form winning combos, and it pays 15x your stake for 5 of a kind.

Whenever you land a stacked symbol fully in view on a reel, the multiplier on display in front of the full moon increases by +1. The multiplier applies to any win, and it will reset between base game spins. A screen full of stacked wilds awards an x6 multiplier, paying (15 x 20 paylines) x 6, which equals 1,800x your stake. The top-tier cheerleader, Jess, pays 1,200x for the same.

The scatter symbol can land anywhere, and you need at least 3 in view to trigger the Blood Moon Spins round. You get 7 free spins no matter how many scatters you land, but the number of triggering scatters determine how many of the characters that will be transformed into werewolf wilds during the feature. You get either 1, 2 or 3 of them transformed for 3, 4 or 5 scatters, respectively, and the tiers are called Fury, Carnage and Rampage.

The transformation process is random if you transform less than all 3 at the same time, and any racked up base game win multiplier is carried over into the bonus round. The multiplier does not reset between free spins, and scatters award +1 extra spin per symbol that lands. You can get up to 30 spins this way at the most.

Review Summary

The 80s high school horror vibe is nicely captured in The Wild Class, but it could perhaps have been even further developed if Play’n Go wasn’t on such a tight schedule. Still, we got our nostalgic kick out of this game, and it does come with some decent features to match. Nothing too revolutionary perhaps, but certainly enough to keep up the interest for a while.

The nocturnal fairground setting goes well together with the creepy soundtrack, and occasional stacked multiplier wins can do more than just top up your bankroll. Of course, everything is enhanced in the bonus round, where the carried-over multiplier doesn't reset between spins, and the 6,666x win cap comes within reach with the help of up to 3 stacked werewolf wilds.
