Solar Wilds Online Slot is a 5x3 reel, 10 payline, medium volatility slot by Microgaming and All41 Studios The transparent reels are set against a nebulous space background with shifting colours. Fantastical celestial bodies act as symbols on the reels while stacks of wild symbols boost your winning chances. The original version of this slot, named Space Enigma, was never released as it was deemed to be too similar to NetEnt’s Starburst. The game’s bonus features include respins and wilds. This title can be played across all platforms.

Wild Respin
When a wild symbol appears on the reels, it will expand to cover the entire reel and triggers a respin, remaining locked in place for the duration of the respin. If any wilds land during the respin, they will trigger another one.
Solar Wilds is a straightforward slot with minimal features that doesn’t inspire much excitement. The slot’s theme is beautifully constructed and its redesign after its initial shelving should shield it from any accusations of mimicry by NetEnt. Aside from the expanding wilds and respins, there aren’t any other features to interrupt your spinning. The most compelling part of the game is the $100 000 top potential, achievable from a single spin, but there just isn’t much to do or see as far as this slot is concerned which means it may likely only appeal to a small niche.
Never experienced solar wilds before I didn’t know what to expect, with that in mind I decided to set the bet amount to modest 2.50 to get started, but that didn’t last long. As I spun the reels I didn’t manage to win anything at this bet amount. Being a medium volatility slot, I felt like that this had to do with my luck, so I readjusted the bet amount to 4 credits. Shortly after that I hit the wild re-spin where I was awarded 19.60 credits. Even though relative to my best size it was decent, it wasn’t going to be enough if I was going to get ahead. So I adjusted my bet amount one last time to 6 credits where I hit the wild resin once again but didn’t gain any winnings from that. The next final spins were unsuccessful as I didn’t win anything.
Results:Even though volatility is set to medium, I can’t help but feel that it is high. Winning even a crumb back was so far and few between not to mention the amount of credits I had to spend to even get that. However, it feels like a game that needs to be played over a longer session and those who are not fazed by a slot that isn’t action-packed.
Objective:25 spins to maximize my game time and entertainment value. To do this, I adjust my bet sizes/paylines to maximize my playing experience. If I hit any bonus features and walk away with more than I started, that’s a success.
Note:Because the results are always completely random, we use the demo simulation of the game, which mimics the real money experience. We always recommend you start in demo mode to learn and understand the game before you play for real money.
