The Wild Yield slot is played on with 5 reels, 5 rows and 259 ways to win. Using a Connected Ways mechanic, you need to land 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols across successive reels, in any position, but beginning from the leftmost reel. Only the longest matching combination for each symbol is paid out.

The Wild Yield RTP is 96.12% which is fractionally above the 96% online slots average RTP rate. Highly volatile (5/5), it comes with a hit frequency rate of 24.04%. A winning combination every 4.15 spins will land on average basically.

Finally, the Wild Yield slot offers max wins of 50,000 x your total bet. The key to bigger wins are the Weather symbols which transform other symbols into wilds. This is especially lucrative in the free spins where saved wild positions can become wild when 1 new weather symbol lands.

Theme – let the elements cultivate plenty of wilds

With a farming theme, the Wild Yield slot you an idyllic farm which is surrounded by crops, mountains and clear blue skies. Offering high definition cartoon graphics, it comes with a red barn, functioning windmill and sleeping scarecrow in the backdrop. The game reminds me a little of Push Gaming’s Fat Rabbit slot.

It has a hillbilly feel as well as a banjo style soundtrack. The scarecrow is more Worzel Gummidge than The Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz films. I must say, Wild Yield is 1 of the better-looking slot games using this theme.

On the reels, you will come across wooden A, K, Q and J royals. Then you have higher paying aubergines, lettuces, tomatoes and finally pumpkins. Most lucrative is the pumpkin symbol which awards 0.5, 1 or 3 x your total bet for 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

There is a W Wild symbol which substitutes for all paying symbols above to constitute a winning combination. 5 wilds across a connected payline awards a 3 x bet payout.

Other symbols you’ll see on the reels include Flower Bonus Scatters and 6 Weather symbols (Tornado, Rain, Lightning, Earthquake, Frost and Fire). More details on these special symbols are found below in the Bonus Features section.

Wild Yield Mobile

Provider Relax Gaming produce all their slots with HTML5 technology. The Wild Yield slot is no different meaning it’s been optimised for play on mobile, tablet, laptop and PC devices. Played on a 5×5 setup, it works perfectly on smartphones, including those using iOS, Android and Windows operating systems.

Wild Yield Bonus Features

The Wild Yield slot has 5 bonus features. With cascades for successive wins, look out for various weather symbols that award wild patterns on the reels. If a wild position sees another wild land on it, a multiplier applies that can increase. This occurs in the Free Spins feature where wild positions are saved. Landing a weather symbol will see all saved positions become wild.

Cascades feature

When a winning combination is formed, the Cascades feature is triggered. Any winning symbols are then destroyed and disappear from the reels. Wild symbols will a counter on them will not be removed but instead their counter will decrease 1 step. The remaining symbols fall down into the empty positions with new symbols falling into to fill the new spaces. The cascade process repeats until there are no more symbols to be destroyed.

Weather Symbols feature

With 6 Weather symbols appearing on the reels, they transform any other symbols into W Wilds. Known as the Weather Symbols feature, each Weather symbol awards 1 or 2 Wild patterns from its group. Sometimes, a super patten can appear.

There are Tornado, Rain, Lightning, Earthquake, Frost and Fire (only during the free spins) weather symbols. The latter only. When 1 of these symbols lands, it will transform other symbols in the pattern on the reels into wilds.

However, if a Weather symbol would transform a position that is occupied by a Wild symbol, the wild gets a counter which increase by 1 each time this process occurs. In effect, the wild becomes a wild multiplier which then applies to any winning combinations it’s part of. It also indicates how many times the wild symbol may be won before disappearing.

Free Spins feature

The Free Spins feature will be triggered when you land 3 Flower Bonus Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels during a set of cascades. 6 free spins are won with 1 additional free spins awarded for each extra scatter (i.e. land 5 scatters for 8 free spins).

Any reel positions that are transformed by Weather symbols are saved on the board to the left of the reels. When another Weather symbol lands, all the saved board positions become active and wild. If you save positions more than once, they will be subject to a multiplier which increases by 1 each time.

Remember that the Fire Weather symbol can land during the feature. Instead of offering predetermined patterns, the Fire symbol picks random positions and transforms them into wilds. It can award up to 10 wilds. Also, a Flower Bonus Scatter landing will also reward with 1 additional free spin, with no limits.

Extra Free Spin feature

Now, the Extra Free Spin feature can be purchased at the of the free spins when less than 10 Weather symbols have landed. The price will appear on the screen. When purchased, 1 free spin is awarded with the state of the board from the Free Spins feature remaining the same. You can continue to buy this feature until 10 Weather symbols have landed. The RTP also increases up to 96.5%. Unfortunately, this feature isn’t available to UK players.

Buy feature

As with all Relax Gaming slots, there is a Buy feature for non-UK slots players. You can buy your way into the Free Spins feature for 90 x your total bet. As with the Extra Free Spin feature, the RTP rises up to 96.5%.

Wild Yield Review Summary – weather symbols cause mayhem on the reels

Visually superb, the Wild Yield slot has been expertly created by Relax Gaming. Immersive and full of character, this isn’t a standard farming themed slot. A lot of thought and imagination has gone into the production side of things. As a result, you have a unique looking game that is quirky, fun and enticing.

In terms of the gameplay, it revolves around the various Weather symbols that reward you with patterns of wilds throughout the reels. The key comes from the Free Spins feature where wild patterns are saved/collected on a side board. Landing another Weather symbol will see all saved positions become wild. This can lead to wild multipliers and huge wins if you manage to land plenty of Weather symbols in succession.

The Extra Free Spin feature is very tempting for non UK players as getting 1 more free spin with lots of saved positions can lead to huge payouts. It does feel like you’re walking a pirate ship’s plank as it can result in massive wins or nothing if another Weather symbol doesn’t land in this extra free spin.

What is for certain is that the Wild Yield slot is deceptive. It’s laid back appearance is not to be taken lightly as the Weather symbols can lead to lots of multiplier wilds on the reels. With 50,000 x bet max wins on offer, it’s a bit of a feast or famine slot game. Don’t be alarmed if no Weather symbols land during the free spins which will result in tiny wins.

In summary, Wild Yield is well designed and offers the gameplay to match it’s high standards. With huge max win potential, it feels like it caters more to non UK players due to the potential of the Extra Free Spin feature. That aside, it’s easily the best farming themed slot I’ve come across to date.

The most popular slot with a similar theme is Fat Rabbit from Push Gaming. Offering 10,223 x bet max wins and a 96.45% RTP rate, it focuses heavily on wilds that can grow up to 5×5 in size.
