Wild Velvet Review

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, developer Mancala Gaming comes up with a new glamorous Wild Velvet slot, featuring a spicy theme and a number of exciting and rewarding features. The main attraction here is the charming Lady Belle, who puts her captivating performance on stage. Steal her heart and she might bless you with luck to win massive cash rewards.

On the outside, the Wild Velvet slot looks absolutely terrific. The production values are outstanding as it has superb detailed graphics and plenty of smooth high-end animations. However, you can always switch to an SD quality mode on the loading screen, which allows you to save your internet traffic, as well as gives punters with a bad internet connection an opportunity to access and play the game smoothly.

The actions of the game take place at a luxurious casino, where the 5x3 reels with 20 fixed win lines take up the stage in the middle of the floor. To the left is sitting the abovementioned gorgeous Lady Belle, who is the game’s seductive host, reacting whenever you hit wins or bonus features, which adds a touch of life to the scenery. You can also interact with the lady - click on her and she’ll send you an air kiss.

Playable on any device, Wild Velvet caters to any kind of bettor as stakes start from just £0.2 and go up to £180 per spin. Medium-volatile, the slot has an RTP of 95%, which is way below average, and the maximum you can get from a single spin is 2,913x the bet.

As we head over to the paytable, we see 8 regular symbols that are split into highs and lows. The lower pay symbols are classic A-J royals, and the higher section includes in ascending order poker chips, dice, mirrors, and heart-shaped locks. All symbols pay from 3-of-a-kind and more, and combinations of five symbols are worth from 2x to 25x the stake. Wild symbols are also included. They act as substitutes for any of the regular symbols in winning combinations and they can appear on all reels. Moreover, Wilds can create combinations of their own and have a value equal to the top-tier pay symbol.

Wild Velvet Slot Features

On any spin during the base game, the mesmerizing Lady Belle can trigger the Mystery Treasures feature randomly to bring additional rewards. When activated, 3 mystery boxes are presented, and players have to choose one to reveal a random instant cash prize.

Look out for Scatter symbols available on all reels during the base game, which are the key to triggering the bonus. Whenever 2 or more appears anywhere in view, a Respin is awarded. The reels without Scatter symbols spin again for a chance to bring additional Scatter symbols. If a new one appears, the reels respin again.

When 3 or more Scatter symbols appear, players proceed to the Free Spins feature. During the bonus, all Wild symbols turn sticky and remain in place until the remainder of the free spins. Additionally, a total win Multiplier steps in during the feature, and depending on the number of triggering symbols, you can get the following combination of free games and multiplier value:

• 3 Scatter symbols - awards 7 Free Spins with a 2x Multiplier.
• 4 Scatter symbols - awards 10 Free Spins with a 3x Multiplier.
• 5 Scatter symbols - awards 12 Free Spins with a 4x Multiplier.

The multiplier is applied to all wins you score in the bonus. Unfortunately, Scatter symbols are not available during the feature, so it’s not possible to extend the duration of the free spins.

Review Summary

All up, Wild Velvet is a perfect option for Valentine’s Day. It has a wonderful outer look and an entertaining set of features that will keep you in the right mood during the session. Alas, the math isn’t equally impressive, especially the RTP value, which is kind of disappointing. Yet, the pros definitely overweight the cons, so be sure to give Wild Velvet a try!
