Harvest Wilds Review

Releasing a pure veggie slot, like Hacksaw has done with Harvest Wilds, takes a bit of confidence. Fruit slots are a dime a dozen, of course, as fruit, even though it’s far more healthy, has almost the same universal appeal as candy. Vegetables on the other hand, is something your parents forced you to eat as a kid. This association may not do this release any favors, but you still get bright colors, a nice rural backdrop and charming-as-ever gameplay.

Harvest Wilds plays out on a 7x7 cluster pays engine grid, which is a setup Hacksaw seems to favor, but this release sticks out because of the lack of any real bonus round. What you get instead is up to 5 respins in escrow, and these help keep your cascading winning streak going. You’ll get help from up to 4 Sunflower Wilds with upgradable multipliers, and these jump around per cascade/respin to award payouts up to 10,000x your stake.

Harvest Wilds Slot Features

Landing 5 to 15+ matching symbols in a cluster generates a win, and the 4 top-tier veggies pay between 75 and 200 x your stake for 15+ in a cluster. All winning symbols are removed via the Cascading mechanic, allowing new and/or existing symbols to drop down to fill the gaps.

This process goes on as long as you keep winning.

Seed symbols grow into a Sunflower Wild when they land, but only if there is at least 1 winning cluster present anywhere on the grid. The sunflower wild steps in for all pay symbols to help complete winning combos, and it has a starting multiplier of x2.

The Sunflower Multiplier Wild leaps to a random position per new cascade or respin, and you can have up to 4 sunflowers at the same time. Their multiplier values are multiplied together if more than one is part of the same win, and each multiplier can go as high as x4. This means that x256 is the best possible multiplier.

Water Drop symbols are collected in the Rainmeter on the right-hand side, and you can keep up to 5 drops in escrow in this meter. When a cascading sequence comes to an end, a raindrop is used to award a respin.

This will hopefully help continue your winning streak.

In addition, you’ll benefit from 2 types of Fertilizer symbols, and the regular fertilizer increases the multiplier value of one Sunflower Wild by +1. The Epic Fertilizer does the same for the multiplier of all present Sunflower Wilds.

Non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can take advantage of the Feature Spins Mode, which is a brand new Hacksaw innovation for this game. Here’s an overview:

• Feature Spins 1 (RTP 96.27 %) - pay 5x your regular bet per spin, and start with 2 seeds.
• Feature Spins 2 (RTP 96.38 %) - pay 25x your regular bet per spin, and start with 3 seeds.
• Feature Spins 3 (RTP 96.34 %) - pay 100x your regular bet per spin, and start with 4 seeds.

Keep in mind that the Bonus Buy button switches you into the Feature Spins mode until you switch back again, so hitting the spin button will buy the chosen feature spin each time. Also beware that you’re not guaranteed to land the necessary win that turns the seeds into Sunflower wilds.

Review Summary

Hacksaw clearly has a thing for veggies and hopping multipliers, and we certainly don’t mind yet another mobile friendly and highly playable release from the masters of simplistic charm. At first glance you might be fooled into thinking there’s nothing new to see here, but Hacksaw is not known for repeating themselves. They prefer minor twists and tweaks to make each game a unique experience, although the similarity to Hop ‘N’ Pop definitely shines through.

The biggest twist in Harvest Wilds is the lack of a bonus round, and the inclusion of the somewhat innovative Feature Spins Mode.

Having raindrop respins in escrow can keep your cascading winning streak going for a good while when things go your way, and a few fertilizer upgrades may nudge you in the direction of the 10,000x potential. The Feature Spins mode may not appeal to all fans of previous Hacksaw releases, but we appreciate their willingness to try out new things.

Pros

• Up to 4 Sunflower hopping x4 multiplier wilds
• Up to 5 Rainmeter respins in escrow
• Fertilizer symbols upgrade 1 or all wild multipliers
• 3 Feature Spin Modes (not for UK players)
• Win up to 10,000x your stake

Cons

• Beware of customizable RTP ranges
• No bonus round

If you appreciate Harvest Wilds Slot you should also try:

Hop N Pop - is another farm-themed release from Hacksaw, but this one is more fruity than veggie. You’ll benefit from x2 roaming multipliers that either double in value or split in two per cascading win it’s part of, and up to 4 multiplier symbols can lead to payouts up to 12,500x in the bonus round.

King Carrot - mixes both fruit and veggies in a fun and entertaining way. This Hacksaw release also plays out on a 7x7 grid, and the carrot eats random fruit symbols to trigger a symbol transformation. The symbol transformation does not reset in the bonus round, and the epic carrot multiplier can help generate payouts up to 10,000x your stake.

Xpander - is yet another 7x7 cluster pays engine grid slot from Hacksaw, and it comes with an x2 multiplier Hopper symbol that leaps around per spin. Upgrade symbols can increase the Hopper multiplier up to x128, and it can also grow up to 4x4 in size. The hopper upgrade never resets in the bonus round, and you can win up to 10,000x your stake.
