Solar Wilds - Game Overview
All41 Studios released this title after a necessary rebrand from Space Enigma, likely to settle legal friction with NetEnt. It is an unapologetic clone of the iconic Starburst, borrowing the core mechanics and visual theme heavily. The developer has tweaked the maths model, offering a 96.27% RTP-slightly higher than the original-and increasing the volatility to a medium setting.
Bonus Features in Solar Wilds
The gameplay relies entirely on the Expanding Wild Respins feature. The Sun symbol acts as the wild and only appears on reels 2, 3, and 4. Whenever it lands, it expands to cover the entire reel and becomes sticky, triggering a respin of the remaining reels. These expanded wilds substitute for all regular symbols to complete winning lines.
If a fresh wild lands during a respin, it also expands and locks in place for an additional spin. This cycle can repeat up to three times, potentially filling all three middle reels with wilds. While the wilds have no value of their own, this mechanism allows for a single spin max win of up to 1,000x your stake.
Solar Wilds Verdict and Experience
I found that Solar Wilds essentially occupies a "golden middle way" between the low volatility of Starburst and the high variance of Play’n Go's Crystal Sun. The 1,000x potential is double what the NetEnt classic offers, providing a bit more meat on the bone for players. My test session saw a few smaller wins early on, followed by dead spins, before a double respin delivered a decent payout, proving it serves well for those tired of the lower returns in its predecessor.
