Theme – Audio & Design Features – a very shiny fruity

This isn’t a game about deodorants for teenage boys, leopards or jazz funk bands from the early 1980s. That’s what to expect from the Wild Linx slot. With a modern fruit machine theme, the visuals are bright, colourful and very glossy.

The Linx of the title refers to links between arrow and wild symbols which can trigger 1 of the game’s pair of bonus features. The arrow symbols can appear on reels 1 and 2 with the standard and gold wild symbols able to land anywhere apart from reel 1.

Joining these symbols is a golden bell scatter and a range of classic fruit machine symbols. The lowest paying symbols are the 4 playing card suit symbols. They’re followed by plums, oranges and pineapples. The top paying symbol is the watermelon which awards 0.2, 2 or 6 x stake if you land 3, 4 or 5 on a payline.

The bold imagery is super sharp on all devices including mobiles and tablets. The fruity-style gameplay is also very easy to play on a handheld device. This is a slot where you really won’t lose anything by playing on a mobile rather than a desktop computer.

Wild Linx Bonus Features

It might look like a retro fruit machine but there are 3 bonus features on offer in Wild Linx that can spice up the action. The Wild Linx feature awards cash prizes and potentially, 1 of 4 jackpots. There are also 2 free spin bonuses.

Wild Linx feature

Trigger the Wild Linx feature when a combination of arrow symbols and wilds or golden wilds land on all 5 reels on the same spin. Then simply select the wilds to reveal cash prizes. The prizes on each wild relate to the sum of the arrow symbols on reel 1 and possibly 2.

The wild prizes can also come with multipliers which can boost the value from that pick by 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 8x. Once selected, a standard wild can transform into a gold wild. This in turn can deliver 1 of the game’s 4 jackpot prizes:

When you’ve revealed all the prizes and jackpots from the assorted wilds, you’ll return to the base game.

Free Games features

Landing 3, 4 or 5 golden bell scatter symbols on the same spin will get you a payout equal to 1, 10 or 100 x stake. You’ll also trigger the Free Games features. Choose from the following options:

• Stacks Free Games feature: you’ll receive 8 free spins. These are played on reels that are made up of the higher value fruit symbols and scatters only. Landing 3 scatters here add another 5 free spins to your total.
• X Free Games features: opt for the second choice and you’ll receive 5 free spins which are played on a standard set of reels that include all the usual symbols. Your chances of landing the Wild Linx feature improves. Retriggers are possible here too. Land 3 scatters and 5 more free spins are added to your total.

Wild Linx Review Summary – a simple fruit machine with a twist or 2  

At first glance, the Wild Linx slot looks like a very basic fruit machine, albeit one with very shiny design. There’s a bit more going on here than you might expect though, thanks to the Wild Linx feature which can deliver some decent action.

The choice of 2 free spins features is good though. I found the X Free Games feature to be really hit and miss in terms of action. On occasions missing complete but cashing in after a good haul of Wild Linx picks.

If you like old school fruit machines with a twist or 2 thrown in, Wild Linx is worth a look. Another obvious option is NetEnt’s Starburst which is the most popular game online. If it’s Playtech slots you’re after, you cannot go wrong with Age of the Gods which has 4 free spins features, lots of features and 4 progressive jackpots.
