Wild Games Online Pokie For Rio Olympics

The Rio Olympics are on. The competition is fierce and the athletes are tense. Sports critics are raising the winners to the skies and dragging the losers to the depths. The need of the hour is some humour to relax the strained bodies and souls. And you will find it in ample measure in the Playtech Olympics themed online pokie titled Wild Games. The bulldog is the swimmer and the cheetah is the sprinter, which is fine. But while the gymnasts get slimmer with every Olympics, Wild Games features the hippo on the balance beam. Wild Games has a motto of its own, which is “toughest, wildest and fittest”. The online pokie is live at Playtech online casinos like Omni Casino and Mansion Casino.

The trophy is the wild symbol. It also awards the highest line payouts. The bulldog, cheetah and hippo are the high paying symbols. The football, basketball and playing card symbols award the lower line payouts. The bronze, silver and gold medals are the bonus symbols. Three or more similar medals scattered on the reels trigger the Win A Medal Bonus. This is a bonus game on the reels, in which you pick one of the triggering medals for bonus credits. The bonus amount depends on both the number and type of medals.

Each of the animal athletes triggers a bonus when three like symbols appear stacked on the middle reel. The bulldog triggers the Freestyle Swim Bonus. You choose one of the three bulldogs participating in a virtual swimming race and win a gold, silver or bronze medal and also 8 free spins. Whenever your medal appears on the reels during the free spins you are awarded additional free spins. The gold medal awards 4 free spins, the silver medal awards 3 free spins and the bronze medal awards 2 free spins.

The cheetah’s feature is the 100M Dash Bonus. In a similar manner you are awarded 8 free spins and a medal. During the free spins the bronze medal becomes an extra wild. The silver medal creates two extra wild symbols on the same reel. The gold medal creates a full wild reel. The hippo triggers the Balance Beam Bonus. You have to choose one of the three balance beam routines that the hippo performs and is awarded points by the judges. The average of the judges’ points becomes the payout multiplier for the 8 free spins awarded in the feature.
