Anaconda Wild slot review (Playtech)

Anaconda Wild is a Playtech video slot starring a giant Anaconda and a wild respin feature

The big eye-catcher of the Anaconda Wild slot is the bonus feature, where the infamous constrictor snake appears.

As with most snakes, you can’t get rid of them quickly. Better stay friends and hope for the best!

With this exciting online slot, the Anaconda snake delivers wilds. As long as he doesn’t crawl back in his hole, he continues to deliver wilds.

If luck is on your side and you can keep away from those pesky mosquitos, you could end up with rows and reels full of wilds!

Gameplay and features of the Anaconda Wild slot

Anaconda Wild has 6 reels with 4 rows of symbols.

There are no less than 50 fixed paylines, making it more difficult to see whether you have won or lost.

Bets start from $€ 0.25 per spin. For players with a limited bankroll, this is a bit high. The maximum bet is $€125 per spin.

What is the theoretical RTP, the variance and the maximum win of the Anaconda Wild slot

The theoretical payout percentage is a bit disappointing: 95.48%. An RTP which is too low is a well-known problem of Playtech slots.

You can win up to a fantastic 2,000 x your bet.

We qualify the slot as a medium variance slot. Chances of winning a prize of, say 1,000x the total bet or more, are minimal. You should be delighted if you get a win of, say, 500x the total bet.

Symbols and payouts

The slot has an Aztec/jungle theme. On the slot’s logo, you see a beautiful Aztec priestess. She appears on one of the premium symbols. 6 priestesses yield a win of 12x the bet. Unfortunately, her role is not more prominent than that.

There are two types of wilds.

• You have the regular wild symbol (which looks a bit more flat and rectangular). If you spin 6 wilds on an active payline, you win a prize of 20x the total bet.
• Then there is the (taller and rounder) wild symbol that acts as a regular wild and triggers the Anaconda Wild Respins.

The medium paying symbols include a treasure chest, a purple cup, a green dagger, and a ring. If you spin 6 of the same symbols, you’ll win between 1.6x and 3.2x the bet.

The card symbols hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs are the low symbols and are worth 1x the bet if you get 6 of the same symbols on a payline.

Anaconda Wild Respins Feature

The Anaconda Wild Respins Feature is the only bonus feature of the game. It is an exciting one, though!

It activates when one bonus wild symbol appears scattered somewhere on the reels.

Once the symbol has dug itself on a reel, an Anaconda comes out of this hole. Then the  Anaconda starts moving over the reels.

After each new spin, he moves one position to the left, right, or up or down. Every time he does so, he leaves another wild behind.

The Anaconda continues to crawl until he has found his original hiding place again. In the meantime, all the wilds (created by the Anaconda) will stay in place (are sticky), and you’ll get free respins.

It is even possible to get multiple Anaconda’s during the free spins round, each leaving behind sticky wilds. Partytime!

Of course, the snake’s determines how much money you can win with this bonus.

As long he doesn’t find his hiding place, it becomes more and more lucrative.

You are unlucky if:

• He crawls back into his hole after a few spins.
• If the snake starts at the reel at the right of the screen and doesn’t move to the left

Our verdict on Anaconda Wild

Anaconda Wild is a straightforward and entertaining video slot from Playtech. The slot is easy to understand.

The Wild Respins feature is exciting but doesn’t always yield a massive win. It becomes much more interesting if you get multiple Anaconda’s on your screen at the same time.

We are a bit disappointed with the somewhat low payout rate of 95.48%.

3 stars out of 5.
