Aphrodite Goes Wild: RushingWilds Review

No, this isn’t a Greek-myth-themed adult film! Yggdrasil Gaming’s Aphrodite Goes Wild is all about those precious symbols which can substitute for all the others. Expect engaging gameplay and godlike win potential.

Gameplay & Features

The 5x3 game area has 20 paylines. Payline wins need to start from the first reel and consist of at least 3 matching symbols. In descending order of value, Club, Diamond, Spade and Heart symbols are the low pays, with a 5-of-a-kind being worth up to 8.5x the bet. The Greek myth characters are the high pays – land a 5-of-a-kind and you can pocket up to 100x!

Wilds substitute for all the above pay symbols and can carry multipliers of 1x, 2x, 3x and 5x. If you land at least 3 scatters, you trigger Free Spins, where the Wilds stick and their values can reach 19x!

If you land only 2 scatters, you immediately win 2x the bet. 3, 4 or 5 scatters award 10, 15 and 20 free spins respectively, while also awarding 2x the bet. For a 25% increase to your bet, you can take advantage of the Golden Bet (outside the UK) function and double your odds of triggering the free spins round.

Bonus Game

Any Wilds that you landed when triggering Free Spins will stick to the grid throughout the ensuing round. Every time you land a new Wild, the values of the other Wild multipliers increase by +1. If you manage to get Wilds on all 5 reels, you’ll be awarded another 5 free spins. These extra free spins can only be awarded once per round.

If you’re playing from outside the UK, you should be able to buy 10, 15 and 20 free spins for 100x, 300x and 700x the bet respectively.

I was astounded to read that the game’s volatility level was super high, as that certainly wasn’t the impression I got. For me, the game played more like one with medium-volatility, medium-high at the most. I was also surprised by how valuable the standard winning combinations were.

There are 20 paylines on a 5x3 grid, so they’re not exactly hard to miss. Scatters seem to fall quite regularly, too, so it always feels like Free Spins is just around the corner. The Wilds made quite a few appearances, though I found they seldom carried multipliers in the base game.

Since the values of the sticky Wilds increase with each new Wild, the free spins round is loads of fun. I didn’t have to spin for ages before I was able to trigger the round either, and that was without using the Golden Bet function, which doubles your chances of triggering it.

Free Spins

Landing 3, 4 and 5 scatters awards 10, 15 and 20 free spins respectively. Wilds are sticky and their multiplier values increase by +1 with each new Wild that falls – all the way up to 19x! 5 Wilds awards 5 more free spins.  

Win Potential

The game’s advertised as having super-high volatility and an RTP of just 94%. The high value of the paytable is in keeping with these stats, but I was able to hit wins with a frequency more befitting a game with much lower volatility, not to mention a higher RTP. As always, though, that might have just been my good luck.

Regardless, there’s lots of big-win potential. Even in the base game, Wilds can carry multipliers of up to 5x, so you can hit some really big wins there. I saw a lot of scatters, too, so if and when you trigger Free Spins, there’s a good chance you could see sticky Wilds with even bigger multipliers. It’s no surprise that the max win is a massive 82,982x. Although the odds of triggering it may be very low, it’s still an indication of the game’s overall win potential.

Design

The 5x3 game area is sandwiched between 2 pillars of an ancient Greek arch. In the background, you can see more arches and temples that are typical of the era. 

The artwork is decent but the graphics are a little flat, as in there’s not much depth. The spinning reels seemed a little jerky when I was playing on desktop, but that wasn’t the case when I played the game on mobile, though. Although the game has some good features, the overall concept is quite simple, as is the layout.

The classical synth and strings music is inoffensive enough. You certainly won’t catch yourself whistling it on your way home. In Free Spins it picks up a bit, but it’s equally forgettable.

Our Verdict

Aphrodite Goes Wild is a fun game with loads of win potential, although it has fairly lacklustre audiovisual presentation. Despite the super-high volatility, the features seem to trigger often, and they make both the base game and Free Spins highly engaging.
