Will these beautiful creatures bestow their magic on us? Let’s play on and find out!
Wild Unicorns Base Game
Wild Unicorns is a 6-reel slot with 4,096 ways to win. Winning combinations are formed when 3 or more of the same symbols (or 2 or more of the highest-paying symbol) land from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel.
The minimum bet available here is £.€0.20 per spin and the maximum bet available is £.€16 per spin, with plenty of other options in between the two. Wild Unicorns has a theoretical RTP of 96.53% and a max win cap of 56,800x.
In terms of symbols, the highest-paying regular symbol here is the Diamond, followed by the Mushroom, Horseshoe, and Clover. Low-paying symbols are standard Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten, and Nine.
Each time a winning combination forms, all winning symbols will be removed from the reels, and new symbols will drop down from above via a Cascade.
Wilds
Wild symbols can appear across the reels, substituting for all other symbols except Scatters and Unicorns. Each Unicorn that appears will move Up, Down, Left, or Right, leaving a trail of Wilds in all available positions in that particular direction (excluding reels 1 and 6).
Once this happens, up to 3 of the added Wilds can award a random Multiplier value of up to x10.
Win Exchange
Whenever you win 75x your bet or more, you will be given the option to exchange this amount for 8 Free Spins. If you win between 25 and 75 your bet, you will have the option to exchange this amount for a chance to be awarded 8 Free Spins.
If you do not wish to participate in this feature, you can simply click the Collect button and return to the base game with your total win.
Wild Unicorns Free Spins
Landing 2 or more Scatters on reels 1 and 6 during the base game triggers the Free Spins round, awarding 8 Free Spins. For all Scatters after the 2nd, an additional +4 Free Spins will be awarded.
During Free Spins, an Unlimited Multiplier is active, starting at x1. The Unlimited Multiplier will increase by +x1 each time a Cascade occurs.
Landing 2 or more Scatters during this time will award an additional +4 Free Spins, plus an extra 2 Free Spins for each additional Scatter after the second.
Wild Unicorns Bonus Buy
Those outside the UK will benefit from a Bonus Buy option. Big Time Gaming has granted payers access to the Free Spins round for a total cost of 75x your bet. (RTP 96.55%)
Wild Unicorns: Our Verdict
Big Time Gaming always put a new spin on their games which is why they stand out as one of the best providers in our opinion, but did Wild Unicorns follow suit?
There are a few tell-tell signs that Wild Unicorns belongs to Big Time Gaming and not just in looks alone. Wild Unicorns gives off Castle of Terror and Wild Flower vibes, and gameplay yet again focuses on Multipliers throughout and an Unlimited Multiplier during Free Spins.
Wild Unicorns has a beautiful theme with enchanting graphics and sound effects, which may entice people to play if not for any other reason. The Wilds feature is a good source of entertainment, but it’s not quite as ‘out there’ as other BTG titles, and doesn’t quite trump other features and mechanics BTG has come up with in previous titles.
Statistically, Wild Unicorns is just as beautiful as its theme, with a max win cap of 56,800x up for grabs. We don’t doubt that Wild Unicorns can reach such potential, but it just feels like there aren’t enough features to help you get there.
