When it comes to choosing which online slots to play, I prefer those with great wild features. The other key consideration is the theme. One of my favourite slot genres is movie inspired games. They boast high quality graphics, video clips and sound effects that really bring the game to life. Whilst there are plenty of movie-themed slots which include wild substitutions, I like my wilds with a little more oomph. If you feel the same way, then check out these film-themed slots where wilds are the star of the show!
Kong The Eighth Wonder of the World
This exciting video slot is based on Peter Jackson’s 2005 epic monster movie King Kong. The giant gorilla is the wild in this game and is the highest valued symbol. The King Kong wild is also the key to triggering the re-spins features. In Wild Jungle mode, 3 wilds get you 3 re-spins, where any wilds remain frozen on the reels until the feature ends. What’s more, the reels are loaded with extra wild symbols during the feature. In Big City mode, reels 1 and 5 turn entirely wild for the first re-spin. On the second re-spin, reels 2 and 4 are wild. On the final re-spin, reels 1, 3 and 5 are all completely wild, providing the potential for big wins. The 2-mode slot also features 2 pick and win bonus games.
Man of Steel
This Superman movie-themed jackpot slot is packed full of wild features. In the base game, Superman and General Zod are shifting wilds. The Man of Steel moves to the right on each spin, whilst the supervillain moves to the left. Not only does this boost your chances of winning combos, when the 2 symbols collide, they trigger the Battle for Earth free games, which features no fewer than 4 shifting wild symbols. The Jor-El wild symbol appears during Krypton free games, with up to 10 wilds locked on the reels for the duration of the free spins. And if that weren’t enough wild action to keep you satisfied, in a final hoorah, the World Engine bonus blasts up to 7 wild symbols onto the reels.
The Invisible Man
This NetEnt slot is based on the 1933 film, produced by Universal Studios. It features 2 shifting wild symbols. The Police wild appears on reel 1. It triggers wild re-spins and moves one position to the right until it works its way entirely across the reels. The Griffin wild on the other hand appears on reel 5 and moves horizontally to the left with each re-spin. These free re-spins create plenty of opportunities to win. If the 2 walking wilds collide, 10 free spins are activated. The wilds can appear anywhere on the reels during free spins and further collisions add an extra 4 free spins. Wild meters are filled as the wilds move off the reels, triggering either the bonus game or Police spins. In the Police spins feature, 5 flaming wilds are randomly placed on the reels for each of the 3 free spins. Whilst the bonus game is a multi-level pick and win feature.
