Wrigley’s World Slot Review

13/04/2023 | Categories: Red Tiger Slots | Published by: Joe | Last updated: 05/01/2024

We recently looked at Transylvania Night of Blood from Red Tiger Gaming. In that review, we mentioned that this provider now releases up to five games per month. That is Pragmatic Play territory. Their catalog has reached a count of over two hundred and seventy titles, available in more than three hundred internet casinos. One of their latest products that got our attention primarily due to its unique visual style is Wrigley’s World, a slot that landed at gambling sites on March 10th at exclusive platforms and then got a wide release on the twenty-second of this month. Despite the generally received positive evaluations, it does not seem to be trending anywhere. Below, we give you our opinion of it and potential reasons for its lack of traction in the first week of its wide distribution.

Theme & Design

The theme of Wrigley’s World is a mechanically-inclined goblin that has a thing for cars and lives in a Mad Max-like world, a steampunk-ish one. In our eyes, presentation-wise, this game is quite a departure from other Red Tiger releases. We always praise that, as we are fans of developers not sticking to a set path and exploring other creative avenues.

For those few who do not know what a goblin is. We will concisely break that down here. It is a small, often grotesque creature appearing in the folklore of many European cultures, believed to initially have popped up in stories from around the Middle Ages. Although, the word goblin, in the modern sense, got first recorded in the 14th century. Goblins are primarily exclusive to Scottish, Irish, and English tales as evil and mischievous beings seeking to harm others. However, their equivalents can also get found in German legends and even South African and Asian mythology.

In the slotverse, goblins are a moderately established motif, with around sixty games featuring these fictitious creatures. That may seem like loads, but you have to factor in that online slots have existed for over two and a half decades, and there are now close to thirty thousand. So, in the grand scheme of things. Sixty is not that much.

The visual style used in Wrigley’s World is cartoony, boasting a rotoscope feel. We know the images here have not gotten traced, but they have that distinct rotoscope vibe present in multiple Richard Linklater films. The setting here appears to be a scrap yard, with the reels spinning in a worn-out metal frame with the game logo at the top. The soundtrack features early 1990s punk beats and does not interfere with the general mood. The same goes for the sound effects, which are not overly loaded, and fit the set atmosphere.

The button configuration in Wrigley’s World is the same one Red Tiger uses nowadays for all their slots. The spin, turbo-spin, and bonus buy functions are found in the bottom right corner, while the bet adjuster is in the left one.

Specs & Gameplay

Let us move on to the specs of Wrigley’s World. The variance level here is high. The default RTP is 95.72% (but it can range), the max win is x20,023, and the maximum bet is $4, per most specification sheets that we saw. Though, some suggest that it is $400, which is super unlikely. To be honest, a max wager of $4 for a high-variance title seems like an unlikely combo, but that was what we saw in the demo version we played. The game’s grid utilizes the 5×3 setup with 243 betways, where matching symbol combos of three or more identical symbols get paid when these land on adjacent reels.

The low-pay tokens of Wrigley’s World are the standard A-10 royals, yielding wins of x0.4 to x1.2 for five-of-a-kind combos. The high-pay ones are a wrench, a tire, an exhaust, and a trophy. Five matching symbols from this group produce wins of x3 to x5. Gas cans are this reel-spinning product’s wilds, and they substitute the pay symbols to help form winning combos. When these tokens land, they always carry an x2 ways multiplier. What does that mean? It signifies that they count as two symbols. You can hit up to five wilds per spin in Wrigley’s World, which is terrific.

Bonus Features

Essentially, the only bonus feature in Wrigley’s World is the Race spins. Race Spins tokens, the Wrigley character in a dune buggy, award x5, x10, or x50 multipliers for three/four/five-of-a-kind combinations, plus ten Race Spins. The activating reward gets transferred over to the bonus round, and in this feature, when a wild hits, it gets collected to a gauge (with five positions), which, when filled, gives a double boost that multiplies the value of the current win by x2, plus awards five extra free spins. You can buy entry into this mode in distinct jurisdictions for a price of x70 your stake.

GOSU Verdict

Wrigley’s World is fun to look at, but its gameplay does not match the novelty of its visual presentation. Under the hood, this slot is simple and did not wow us to the degree we expected. In the goblin category, we honestly cannot think of a better game than this gaming product. Well, scratch that. Evil Goblins by Nolimit City, for sure, is a more complex and engaging spinner.

Assessing it on its own, we would rate Wrigley’s World as basic but decent. We are sure that it will pick up steam in the coming weeks in multiple territories but doubt that it will make any lasting impact, which is a shame because the visuals here promised much-undelivered potential.
