The Wild Chase
This slot is quite different from the majority of other Quickspin slots. What we mean is that the game is neither about ”classic slots” nor fairy tales/legends. The game is also significantly more fast-paced than the average slot from Quickspin can be said to be. Among the features are a respin function, a multiplier and free spins.

About the Wild Chase slot
A shock that could mean financial independence for the rest of their lives – that's what the four cronies of the Wild Chase have planned. The target is a jeweler on the promenade of (probably) Monte-Carlo. Judging by the symbols, they succeed in the impact itself. Whether they can then make it to their hiding place in full skin is another question.
The fact that it is about a sun-drenched and luxurious holiday resort is clear to you when you look at the background image. Here, yachts line up outside stately buildings that face the sea. You can see that the robbers are successful in their coup by taking a look at the treasures that make up the gallery of symbols. Overall, the graphics are not bad at all. The game may not be as good as Sakura Fortune, but the Wild Chase also has a few years on its neck. The background music is a fast-paced story that adds a little extra nerve to the game.
The Wild Chase has a traditional wheel alignment with three rows over five columns. However, the individual positions are anything but traditional. Each position basically functions as its own wheel. It's pretty much the same concept that NetEnt uses in Jack Hammer . As in this game, winning symbols can also remain (become ”sticky”) on their positions.
Stakes and winnings
It couldn't be easier to get started playing at the Wild Chase. At the bottom of the game screen you will find an orange button labeled ”total bet”. If you click on it, you will see a menu with different bets to choose from. You can also use arrow buttons to navigate correctly. When you are satisfied with your choice, click on the spin button on the far right. No matter what stake you play with, all 25 paylines are always in play.
In fact, there is no official figure on how much the Wild Chase can pay out at most on one spin. By calculating a little on the matter, however, you can figure out that the maximum win should be 250 times the bet. You should also note that this is the maximum ”final win” with the respins feature (see below). If you reach the maximum final win, you are guaranteed to have recorded a bunch of nice wins along the way.
The Wild Chase RTP is 96.72%. It is a figure that can be compared. The volatility of the game is of the slightly higher kind.
Symbols
Quickspin has stuffed a total of nine paying symbols into the game. Four of them pay slightly better than the others. These four represent the four robber comrades. However, the difference in value between the high-win symbols and the low-win symbols is highly marginal. It is the blonde man who pays the best. Five pieces of him on a Payline will give you 2x the bet. It's not much, but at the same time you have the chance to record win after win with the respins feature.
Functions
There are two special symbols on the reels of the Wild Chase. One is a wild while the other is a bonus symbol. The game also boasts a re-spin feature, multipliers and free spins.
Wilds
The wild symbol is a clearly interesting story. It is both a wild and a multiplier symbol. When it appears, it can first of all be used as a joker. If it is included in a winning combination, it will automatically activate a multiplier before the other positions continue to spin again. With more wilds, you get higher multipliers. The maximum multiplier is 5x.
Respins
Each winning combination activates a respins feature, just like in Jack Hammer. What you should hope for is that your winning combination is gradually built up with more symbols of the same kind. Only when you get a ”dead” spin does the feature end.
Scatters and free spins
A safe serves as the scatter symbol in the Wild Chase. If you manage to hit three scatters scattered on the screen, you win free spins. You can use the respins feature to collect the three bonus symbols you need.
In the free spins round, you get to open the figurative safe. The background image changes to a view of a road and the background music increases in tempo. When you play your free spins, you are guaranteed at least one wild on the reels in each spin. It is placed at the same time as each new free spin starts.
Summary
The Wild Chase is a delicious slot machine from Quickspin that offers a high game pace and exciting spins. The game idea is quite unique and we think Quickspin has created something very different and exciting in this title. The Respins feature can be a treat if you're lucky, but it can also feel pretty ”dead” from time to time. The Wild Chase has a variance over the means and you cannot expect to record wins in time and out of time.
Our overall rating of the Wild Chase is well approved. There is not much that Quickspin could have done better!
