Mighty Wild Jaguar Slot Review

Graphics and theme

Having played Wazdan slot releases before, I was pretty sure I knew what to expect from Mighty Wild: Jaguar before playing. There’s something both great and a bit of a letdown about that. Of course, it’s good to be familiar with a developer and its games, but personally, I do like to experience a nice surprise from slots. Mighty Wild: Jaguar is impressive for a couple of reasons though, with one of them being the first impression the graphics provide. This is an area that Wazdan has infrequently failed in.

The jungle awaits…but so does the jaguar!

It’s evident from the title of this online casino slot that the theme surrounding it is going to be about the jungle cat known as the jaguar. Therefore, you’re taken into the jungle for the setting of this slot game. Behind the reels, you’ll see a dense jungle land, with an ancient temple-like construction also evident through the mist on the right. Perhaps that’s where you will find the treasures promised by this game.

The symbols that appear on the 15 independent reels of the slot are all designed with excellent graphics, too. This adds to the general visual appeal of Mighty Wild: Jaguar. There is a thematic soundtrack included in the slot, too, which brings everything together nicely.

Gameplay mechanics

There is a simple method in place for choosing your bet in the slot. You’ll see that along the bottom of the game screen is a selection of bet values for you to choose from. They start at the lower end of 10p per spin and increase up to the maximum of £10,000 per spin. That’s a massive betting range to choose from, which is great for different types of bankroll. However, I don’t recommend using the higher end of the spectrum.

After choosing a wager, you click on the green spin button, which is the large circular one in the bottom-right corner. The reels, of which there are 15 individual ones, will then spin and produce a result. You don’t create wins in the base game, though. Instead, you need to wait for the slot’s bonus features to hit before you stand the chance of winning anything. More on these shortly.

Mighty Wild: Jaguar does have some excellent customisation features, though. To the right of the spin button is the function for speeding up your spins and another for introducing autoplay. On the left of that button is the one for changing the slot volatility.

Special symbols and bonus rounds

Spinning at least six Hold the Jackpot bonus symbols into view will activate the Hold the Jackpot bonus round. These bonus symbols include cash, cash infinity, mini, minor and Major jackpot symbols, collector, mystery and jackpot mystery symbols.

If you draw at least 6 Wild Rampage bonus symbols, you activate the Wild Rampage bonus round. These bonus symbols are named:

• Jaguar

• Jaguar mystery

• Jaguar mystery jackpot

• Jaguar mystery multipliers.

Symbols	Gameplay description
Jaguar Mystery Jackpot and Jaguar Mystery Multiplier symbols	These can randomly appear during base gameplay. These symbols stick to the reels for between 5 and 9 spins.
Cash symbols	These award prizes of up to 5x. Mini, Minor and Major jackpot symbols can appear and pay out their respective rewards.
Collector symbols	These will accumulate all values from Cash and Cash Inifnity symbols, and then multiply them by up to 10x.
The Mystery Symbol	These can be transformed into any other bonus symbol.

In the Hold the Jackpot bonus round, you receive 3 re-spins. All bonus symbols stick to the reels, and any new ones landing do the same, resetting the re-spins counter to 3 in the process. 

When the bonus round ends, you receive the prize payout from the cash symbols and jackpots. Covering all 15 reels with symbols will award the Grand jackpot of 750x your stake.

The Wild Rampage round works in the same way, with 3 re-spins granted and all symbols sticking to the reels. The round ends when no more re-spins remain or when all 15 positions are covered with jaguar symbols. Again, you receive 750x your stake for covering the reels.

Mighty Wild: Jaguar on mobile

Opening Might Wild: Jaguar on my iPhone, I immediately noticed that the slot was best optimised in landscape mode. This did a good job of providing the same if not more, immersion that I felt on the desktop version. The animations were similarly impressive, with the symbols really popping on my phone screen.

While I would have preferred a better-optimised portrait mode for this slot as there was an option to play this way. The entirety of the reels were squeezed into the bottom half of the display. I also felt that a more simplified display would have been welcome as the interface was quite busy, and the buttons were a little small for my liking.

Max win, RTP and volatility

I have highlighted several times that the maximum payout possible in the Mighty Wild: Jaguar slot is 750x your stake. I have confirmed that by viewing the official game documentation, and it’s a bit disappointing overall. The average for video slots is 5,000x, so this Wazdan slot sits significantly below that. Remember this point when you decide to play it.

It’s also key to remember that the RTP rate of the game is 96.14%. That figure is above the general average for video slots, which brings a bit more appeal to it. Furthermore, you can adjust the volatility level of Mighty Wild: Jaguar to suit your style of gameplay and your bankroll. Not many developers allow this kind of customisation, so it’s great to take full advantage of it in this release.

Gamble responsibly

Whether you want a jungle, fishing or any other themed online slot, playing responsibly is always important. By following a set of responsible gambling guidelines, such as setting time limits and using tools such as self-exclusion, you can avoid falling into any problem gambling habits.

My verdict on Mighty Wild: Jaguar

Amongst the masses of games from Wazdan, it doesn’t really stand out. Yet, when you compare Mighty Wild: Jaguar with other slot games in general, it does. You can’t win in the base game, and the betting range is very extensive. 

Of course, the developer ensures the slot includes top-quality graphics, and the base theme is nicely expressed throughout. It’s also great that you can customise a lot of the settings. It may be a game that low rollers want to avoid due to the lack of wins in the base game and the bonus rounds not hitting so often.
