Wasabi Wilds Slot Review & Free Play

Wasabi Wilds: Become a Famous Chef With Cascading Sushi and Free Spins

Much like the newest Silverback Gaming titles, the Wasabi Wilds slot delivers a fun theme, a unique art style, and some engaging new mechanics. Put on your chef’s hat and step into this kitchen filled with expanding reels, random wilds, sticky wasabi symbols, and free spins. Ready to craft the ultimate sushi? Let’s dive in.

The slot features an intriguing 8x8 grid, with 6x6 spaces initially active. Each successful winning combination and cascade unlocks an additional reel or row. To score a win, you need to match four or more identical symbols either horizontally or vertically. During my playthrough, I was making returns between 0.50x and 2.50x on average every 2 to 4 spins. 

With three or more cascades, I was able to unlock most of the reels which helped me achieve up to 7x wins. These occasional bigger wins helped me protect my bankroll and keep looking for seven or more cascades which was the way into the Wasabi Heat bonus feature of the slot. Gettiung the feature to trigger was quite tricky as despite having a large grid to play around with, landing clusters consistently per cascade was a major hurdle for me. 

Wild symbols would cme around every now and then and help me create a few extra winning combinations. However, they would only remain sticky for the first cascade which made subsequent triggers much less likely to score a win. At any rate, I was able to trigger the Wasabi Heat feature at the tail end of my session and I was awarded three free spins and four sticky wilds. 

These wilds helped a little but by this point my bankroll needed a large payout in order to make a profit. Unfortunately, I made a small 19.50x win from the round even though it had some interesting features in store such as added wilds and the possibility to win extra free spins. 

All in all, the Wasabi Wilds slot definitely has a lot going for it but its mechanics hold it back significantly. I would have liked to see permanently sticky wild symbols in the bonus game or a few multipliers to even the odds. In its current state, Silverback Gaming’s Wasabi Wilds slot game does not earn my approval.
