Review
Get ready to unwrap festive surprises on the slot from NextGen Gaming powered by SG Digital. Rudolph Gone Wild is a comical take of the popular theme around this time of the year, filled to the brim with random and bonus features to keep us well entertained for the holidays season and beyond. Snow Machine, Flying and Rudolph Wilds offer random modifiers in the base game while a free spins round with a choice of stacked Rudolph Wilds can lead to wins of up to 5,000 times your bet.
Slot Details
Rudolph Gone Wild is a video slot with five reels, four rows and 50 fixed pay lines. Wins are awarded for three to five matching symbols landing on a line from left to right only. You can spin the festive reels on desktop, mobile or tablet from 0.10 to 25 credits per spin. The game has medium to high volatility with a below-average RTP of 95.33%.
Adeptly dressed with a flash Christmas sweater, Rudolph is overseeing the action on the festive reel set filled with gingerbread symbols, elves and Santa himself. A snowy scene on a clear, sunny winter day serves as the background while a lively festive soundtrack together with intermittent Ho! Ho! Ho! shoutouts provides the fitting audio.
The pay symbols start at the low end with card royals from 9 through to A, awarding 2x to 4x your bet for a single five of a kind. They are followed by gingerbread snowman, tree and house as well as two with red and blue hats, Santa and Rudolph’s sleigh. The latter appears stacked at all times. Hit five on a line to win 6x to 50x your stake. The game has a standard wild with marked with a pair of bells and a Rudolph Wild, both substituting for all regular pay symbols. Five across the reels will yield 50 times your bet. A colourful icon marked with ‘Free Spins’ acts as the scatter.
Rudolph Gone Wild Slot Features
NextGen Gaming has gone to great length to deliver a feast of wilds for this holiday season as they are at the core of the gameplay through various features and the path to scoring big wins. The most sought after is naturally the Rudolph Wild to fit with the game title. Reason enough to take a closer look whether we will like this year’s Christmas surprises.
Two of three wild feature are reserved for the main game while the third is active at all times. Watch out for the snow avalanches randomly going off at the start of a base game spin, triggering the Snow Machine Wilds feature. One to four symbols on each reel will turn into wild symbols. A full screen will pay a handsome 2,500x your bet. The same win is possible when the Flying Wild feature is randomly triggered at the start of a spin in the base game. Elves will walk across the reels and turn a random number of positions into wild symbols, potentially filling the entire screen.
Landing a Rudolph Wild anywhere on the reels in the main game or free spins will trigger the Rudolph Wilds Respins. All in view will turn into walking wilds, moving by one reel to the left on every respin. The feature continues as long as Rudolph Wilds are on the reels. Worth noting is that the respins are free.
Hitting three scatters anywhere on the centre reels will trigger the Free Spins feature. A selection screen will with two rows of Christmas gift boxes. The first row has five boxes, each with a different number of free spins – 6, 8, 10, 12 or 16. The second has four boxes with four different stack heights for Rudolph Wilds – 3, 4, 6 8. The feature cannot be retriggered but with the stacked Rudolph Wilds it will be easier to activate the respins and thus prolonging the bonus round.
Final Verdict
Rudolph Gone Wild is a lighthearted slotting affaire made for the festive season. The gameplay is not too volatile, the hit rate for wins and features is above average and the usual wins in the main feature should be mostly higher than 50x bet. Overall, up to 5,000 times your bet are up for grabs, not too shabby for a Christmas surprise.
