Wild Walker
Wild Walker is a terrifying horror-themed slot developed by Pragmatic Play that sees players transported to a nightmarish world in which the undead walk the earth, and they're wild!
This 5-reel, 25 payline slot will always see at least one reel turn entirely wild on every single spin, helping you create winning paylines. This slot boasts a lucrative free spins round that can see up to 4 zombie wilds find their way onto 8 game reels, spelling big wins for lucky players.
Design
This is a blockbuster slot in our eyes, it looks and feels horrifyingly good. The reels are held together by rotting wood covered in barbed wire, chains and blood. Behind the reels is what looks like a world that's quite literally gone to hell. Fires blaze either side of the reels as cars and buildings burn to ashes. Rain pours down and lightning forks from the sky and an ominous-looking crow squawks from time to time. It's fair to say Pragmatic Play has made a huge effort in setting the tone for this slot.
In terms of game symbols, the first one that stands out is of course the zombie wild. There will always be at least one zombie wild in play at any given time. These zombie wilds take up an entire reel and features a literal zombie torn the pieces with the guts hanging out, dripping with blood. Behind them is a horde of zombies ready to stumble in for a kill.
If you get more than one zombie wild on the reels (particularly during the bonus round) then you'll get to see several different zombies, such as cops. doctors, and ordinary civilians.
Low paying symbols are your standard royal suits J, Q, K A, whilst higher paying symbols are a bit more imaginative, these are vials of an unknown substance, a strange green gun/syringe (we're not entirely sure!), a female brandishing a chainsaw, a female scientist, a grizzled male carrying an AK-47 and a very creepy mad scientist.
A cinematic soundtrack builds up tension in the background that gets more chaotic and wild as players work their way into a bonus feature. All in all the design of this slot is unbeatable and deservedly picks up a 10/10 from us.
Gameplay
Finding your way around Wild Walker is incredibly simple! Players can decrease and increase their bet value using - and + buttons either side of the spin button on the far right-hand side of the game screen, below that they can set up to 100 automated spins. Players can access game settings and the paytable via a large info button and a hamburger menu on the far left-hand side of the game screen.
Win Potential
This high volatility zombie-themed slot ranks pretty well in terms of win potential. Wild Walker has a slightly above average RTP of 96.55% and a maximum win of 4,900x the player's initial stake, which whilst not groundbreaking, is more than enough to prompt us to get spinning!
Our Verdict
Visually, Wild Walker is up there with some of the very best games going. Pragmatic Play has truly made an online slot worthy of being placed alongside Zombie-franchise Resident Evil, even as an online slot! If you're a fan of zombies then you absolutely have to play this slot at least once!
