Wagering
Unlike traditional slot machines, DJ Wild comes with Elk Studios special Betting Strategy Options. If you have played The Lab slot from Elk, you’re familiar with the concept. Instead of adjusting coin value, deciding how many paylines to activate and finally how many coins to bet per active payline, you simply select your total wager on DJ Wild.
Then, you can also select one of several betting strategies – if you want to. On DJ Wild, you have four different ones to chose among, including The Optimizer which Elk Studios premiered on this very slot.
Betting strategies
- Leveller
If you activate this betting strategy, the size of your wager will automatically increase two steps (according to the wager plan) if you experience five spins in a row without any win.
- Booster
If you activate the Booster betting strategy, the size of your wager will increase by one step (according to the wager plan) after each spin where you won nothing.
- Jumper
This is the opposite of the booster. With the Jumper, your wager will increase in size by one step after each winning spin.
- Optimizer
With the Optimizer, the size of the wager will be a certain percentage of your current balance in the slot machine. Therefore, the size of wager will automatically go up and down as the size of your balance changes.
Fixed jackpot
DJ Wild has a fixed 50,000 credit jackpot.
To win it, you need to get a Jackpot Wild symbol on the middle reel.
Expanding wild symbols with re-spins
DJ Wild is aptly named – this game has no less than FIVE different wild symbols.
If you get one of the horizontal wilds, it will expand horizontally. If you get one of the vertical wilds, it will expand upwards and downwards on the reel.
Each time you get an expanding wild, you get a re-spin with the expanded wilds in place, to give you one more chance to win. Get a new expanding wild? Then you get another re-spin. This way, it is possible to win many times on a single wager.
