9 Wiggly Worms Slot by Wishbone 🎰 Free Demo and Review

9 Wiggly Worms Review

If you’ve ever played the video game ‘Worms’ in your time, you might get a nostalgic kick out of the Epic Strike symbols in this game. 9 Wiggly Worms is, as the title more than indicates, a 9 Masks of Fire reskin job, however, so this is hardly the most original debut release from this brand new Games Global partner who calls themselves Wishbone. We like the company name, however, and we hope they will come up with their own idea for the next release.

If you have played 9MoF, and who hasn’t these days, you already know what 9 Wiggly Worms is all about. Landing as many Epic Strike worm symbols in view as possible is the name of the game, although 9 is sufficient to crack the 2,000x potential. The bonus round comes with an x2 or x3 line win multiplier, but it does not apply to Epic Strike wins. What can we say? If you feel like trying the same game with a somewhat unusual theme, 9 Wiggly Worms might be worth a closer look.

9 Wiggly Worms Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 7.5 and 37.5 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and any mix of the top-tier single, double, and triple 7 symbols also pay 3.25x your stake for the same. The Wild symbol steps in for pay symbols to help complete and/or improve wins, but it cannot step in for scatter and worm symbols.

You can land Epic Strike Worm symbols anywhere on the grid as well, and you need at least 3 anywhere in view to win something from these symbols. It’s an instant scatter Epic Strike jackpot feature in other words, and you win 1x your stake for 3 in view. Landing 9 worm symbols in view lands you the top prize of 2,000x your stake, and all the prize values are lined up on the left-hand side.

You need 3 wooden hammer scatter symbols in view to trigger the Bonus Round, and you will then see a worm swing the hammer in a fairground strongman game (also known as a high striker game). This determines your number of free spins between 10 and 30, and you also get an x2 win multiplier unless you get 25 or 30 free spins. If that’s the case, you get an x3 win multiplier, and the multiplier will boost all regular line wins in the bonus round.

You get to see a few wins here and there in the base game, before we trigger the bonus round at 1:07 into the 3-minute highlights video. We landed a few instant worm scatter wins during the feature, and you can check it all out for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

Hardly a week goes by without a new instant scatter jackpot game being released, and 9 Wiggly Worms does not even try to conceal the fact that it’s a straight up 9 Masks of Fire clone. The fairground worms theme is kind of original though, but overall the visual presentation comes across as a tad too generic. The worms wiggle when they land, sure, but more could’ve been done to make this game stick out at least in the visual department.

There are plenty of similar clones and reskins to choose from out there after all, and many of them come with a more lucrative math model than this. The base game is mostly about landing as many worms as possible to climb the jackpot ladder, although decent line wins are also possible. Even the top-tier RTP is the same as in 9MoF, and you can win up to 2,000x your stake also in this game. If you’re looking to mix things up with a different theme, well, let’s just say you’ve got one more reskin job to choose from.
