Set against a star-filled, night sky backdrop, the reels include a selection of classic fruit machine symbols. You’ll see cherries and lemons, pineapples and apples, pears and blueberries and melons, bananas and plums. The best of these standard symbols is the lucky 7 which awards 30, 100 or 400 coins if you land 3, 4 or 5 on a payline.
The hologram wild of the game’s title is the wild - it can land on all 5 reels and replace all other symbols apart from the golden crown scatter. The wilds can be lucrative in their own right too. Land 3, 4 or 5 of them in combination and you’ll get a payout of 50, 200 or 1,000 coins.
The golden crown scatter can hit on the middle 3 reels only. Land 3 of them on the same spin and you’ll trigger the Free Games feature where you will be given an initial haul of 5 free spins. More hologram wilds are thrown into the mix here to boost your winning chances. You can re-trigger more free spins here indefinitely.
Hologram Wilds is a simple, well designed slot game - the imagery has a glossy feel and the way the reels spin is reminiscent of a character ‘beaming up’ on the Starship Enterprise. It all looks very impressive. The range of features isn’t wide but the extras on offer can deliver some very solid action.
Hologram Wilds is a volatile game so you can expect to endure long spells when the cashier will only head south. If the wilds work their magic they can quickly deliver some decent sized wins, especially if you manage to trigger the free spins round.
A classic fruity and sci-fi seem unlikely bedfellows. It works well enough in Hologram Wilds which offers high-end design, simple features and some potentially explosive gameplay. I also recommend you try Starburst by Net Entertainment which is a must.
