Surely we have all ever been to a yard sale, market, or as in some countries referred – a bazaar, where merchants of all sorts are trying to seduce you to buy their miscellaneous goods for a bargain price or just because this is one of a kind chance to spot an exclusive item.
There are always diamonds to be mined at these bazaar sales. But the trick, of course, is to find them.
The producers wanted to draw players’ attention with a 4×5 layout game, 26 fixed win lines, Medium-High Volatility, theoretical RTP of 96.15%, and multiple Wild features. The bazaar game has an oriental music/vibe and ‘shabby-chic’ style with eclectic functions, soft colours, and vintage design.
You can try the game here on our site for free, or at any NetEnt casinos with real money play.
Personal testers’ opinion about the Wild bazaar slot
At the Wild bazaar slot machine, you can place bets from 20 cents to 400 CAD (which is good news for the high-rollers). In contrast, the calculated maximum win is 390x the bet for a single spin (which is a very de-motivating offer for the high-rollers, and in fact insufficient by all standards).
We couldn’t help but wonder, why such a giant bet possibility is if the slot potential is not increased to attract this group of players?
We do consider the theme of the slot as original, but we wished for better execution. This is in regard to:
- Colouring – deeper individual tints for the Wilds, standing out of the labelled jewels;
- A higher number for the Free Spins-not only 4;
- Some multiplier for all the wins from the bonus game, not only for the specific x2 Multiplier Wild feature;
- Higher paytable and player-friendlier gameplay, as due to the current settings, many players position the slot in the category of roughly grabbing games, without having the potential to render mega wins.
Review and recommendations by the testing team
- Everybody likes good surprises, no doubt. But with this online slot, NetEnt Company instead of astounding us succeeded to confuse us. The gameplay might be new for the Swedes, although is not entirely new for the casino world. So, the long-expected topnotch machine, once delivered, was one not-so-glorious game with less exciting features, more common/familiar; less bright colours, more matt/pastel hues; less winning yielding, than the anticipated higher payout potential. Altogether disappointment.
- In the base game, the slot often triggers 2 Chests symbols (not enough to lead to the bonus game), and the payments are insufficient – only 1x to 4x the bet, if any winning at all. This way your balance is very shaky, and insecure, any moment to be ‘washed-up’ if the bonus game is not coming.
- In the bonus round, the average reward doesn’t surpass 30x total bets and is likely to be in the range of 5x-20x total bets. Our absolute maximum during the tests was just over 80x the bet. This was a result of the Free Spins re-trigger. But we have to mention that such a re-trigger is happening after a long time of empty or badly paid rounds, and even the Free Spins re-trigger was not capable to compensate for the balance loss.
- The lengthy dead streaks and sporadic payouts (regularly smaller than the bet) are showing that this is not a suitable machine to cover the wagering requirements. There is no point in stretching your game sessions, as full balance recovery is not likely at this bazaar.
- Playing with real money should be also extremely cautious considering the possibility of depleting your resources over a long distance. You should not stay for lengthy sessions. The moment you get Free Spins + re-trigger, resulting in approximately 40x-100x payout you should exit the game.
Bonuses
There is no Scatter to be found at this bazaar. All bonus rounds are received via Wild symbols-Chests. They come in 4 colours, and can all be used in 1 spin together. 3+ Chests are triggering the following bonus options:
- 1) Red Chest activates Stacked Wilds. 1+ reels are filled with wild symbols.
- 2) Green Chest activates Colossal Wilds. 2×2 Wild symbol appears on the grid.
- 3) Pink Chest activates Linked Wilds. Wild symbols will transform other icons into Wilds + connecting them.
- 4) Blue Chest activates Multiplier x2. Payouts in those spins are doubled.
Besides, 4 Blue Chests initiate Re-spin, in which you can win additional Re-spin if 3 Blue or 4 Pink Chests drop again.

How to win at the Wild bazaar slot machine? (Conclusion)
- We will start our helping section with the most important advice: to test the game in the DEMO (free) mode before placing real money deposits.
- We do not recommend the Wild bazaar slot machine to the bonus hunters, as the game proves incapable to support the balance in long sessions, which gives no chance to complete the wagering requirements.
- For the most part, we don’t suggest playing with real money as well. But if you are not aiming at winning super huge amounts, you can try your luck here, only in short sessions. Once you receive a reward in the range of 100x total bets you should leave the slot immediately. This is one hoggish style slot – rendering some relatively large prize, and intensely grabbing it after that.
