Wild Turkey Slot

When approached by potential predators, turkeys usually run or fly away, as, despite their weight, these animals are agile and fast fliers.

But this whimsical tribe of NetEnt’s Turkeys – they don’t fly away when danger is present. They are warriors.

Undoubtedly the Wild Turkey slot machine has an original idea, and even not with the most beautiful earth creature for the protagonist, it is still exciting, lively, and appealing.

The technical aspects of Wild Turkey are a 3×5 playing field, 20 pay lines, medium-high volatility, an RTP of 96.6%, and the maximum winning per spin – 800 000 coins.

The game can be tested in the DEMO mode right here on our site. No login is required.

Personal testers’ opinion about the Wild Turkey slot

• During its released year (2013), the game was much anticipated and gained popularity beyond NetEnt’s fans. It is still well accepted and cherished by some players, treasuring its peculiar charm, despite the not exquisite design.
• Considering profitability, the slot often renders Re-spins in the bonus game and shows its potential for sizeable rewards. The highest prize we enjoyed during tests was 2000x the bet, inside approximately 10 000 spins. The Wild Turkey slot machine’s hit frequency is 27.81% in total, while the statistical frequency of bonus round triggering is 1.02% (every 97th spin). According to our measurements, the prize pool is evenly divided for payouts across the usual and the Free Spins. The slot scores poorly at our wagering meter, with an index of 3.88 (out of 10).

Review and recommendations by the testing team

• The graphics and design of this slot are not everyone’s cup of tea’, and we must admit this gameplay is not innovative.
• During the base game, the machine has no strength to keep the balance because of the insufficient payout of winning combinations for 3 and 4 OAK and doesn’t trigger the 3+ Wilds. The Wilds, by the way, are double-acting here: as substitution of all symbols and as Scatters – triggering the Free Spins. OK, the 5OAK top symbols are nicely priced with 100x-200x total bets per line, but realistically speaking – how many of them happen in one game session? One, two?
• As usual for slots created by NetEnt, the Free Spins features are triggered in waves. A long gap without a bonus follows a series of 2-3 features in a small interval.

During the Wild Turkey Free Spins, you can expect:

• More Wild symbols (than in the main game);
• Extra benefits from Stacked Wilds (formed by 2 or 3 Wild symbols);
• Additional Re-Spins if 3ple Wild (full Wild reel) drops;
• Receiving better combinations (than in the main game), including 5 Wild symbols, the winnings of which can nicely compensate for the lost balance.
• A typical bonus game ending is with a 200x+ total bets payout. Only on fewer occasions will you obtain around 50x bets.
• And lastly: catching the sight of day/night shifting in the Turkey village is certainly a nice (humoristic) designer’s touch.

How to win at the Wild Turkey slot machine? (Conclusion)

• Our advisory segment starts routinely with: testing the slot in free DEMO mode before committing with real money.
• We do not recommend this slot to the bonus hunters, as it demonstrates being unfit to support the balance. With super-extended dry runs or low-paid spins, swinging the odds in your favour will not happen easily. Completing the wagering requirements is close to impossible.

As for the players with real money, we will share the following tips:

• The optimal starting bet is 1/200 part of your initial capital.
• This starting bet should remain, as the slot exhibits better behaviour without cycle interruption, i.e. bet shifting.
• Wild Turkey machine runs smoother and more profitable with low stakes (less than 50 coins) per spin.
• The best strategy to be a winner and outlast as a winner is to stop your game session on time. For the Wild Turkey online slot, the point of departing seems to be a balance growing by 30%. Once you reach this pinnacle, you should pull away from the game.
• The reverse strategy – to don’t hang out as a complete loser, is to quit your session once you’ve seen 30% of your capital has vanished. The most critical decision of the gambler is not to join the game but to be savvy to end it on time.
