Wild Rapa Nui Slot – Free Demo

Easter Island in five reels

Wild Rapa Nui is a 5 reel slot played across 10, 20 or 30 selectable paylines, and Rapa Nui is the Polynesian name for Easter Island. Wins run left to right from the leftmost reel on adjacent reels, and only on the lines you have actually paid for. That is the fleck of volcanic stone in the South Pacific whose moai figures gaze inland from the shore. The name traces back to at least the 19th century. The moai themselves are reputed to have been sculpted between approximately 1250 and 1500 by the island's earliest colonists, and I sort of began gazing back at those figures too, having burned 200 spins pursuing the bonus. Those spins were played on all 30 lines at 0.07 a line, so 2.10 a go. In all honesty, waiting for the bonus to trigger in Wild Rapa Nui is not the most thrilling experience. Only 59 of the 200 spins paid anything back, and 36 of those paid less than the 2.10 they cost. However, the bonus is a different animal entirely. It turned up once, on spin 157.

The Moai wild seldom lines up

There's genuinely not super much happening in the base game. My longest stretch with nothing at all ran to 11 spins and ended on spin 93. Essentially you're merely waiting for the bonus to land, and while the Moai wild stands in for everything except the volcano scatter, it seldom seems to link. One captured spin has two Moai landing on reels one and four for a 4.20 line win, twice the total bet. It can result in some respectable payouts if it does, so be prepared for teasing however. Across the run the balance bottomed out at 4,754.30 and closed at 4,768.37.

What five volcanoes bought me

Land three or more scatters to trigger the bonus game, and the number of free games granted depends on how many scatters land to trigger the feature: 3, 4 or 5 volcanoes pay 10, 15 or 25 free games. The one trigger I saw came in with five volcanoes, so the full 25. On in, two random reels turn wild on every single free game. Which two they are is drawn fresh each spin. The reel strips are not the ones the base game employs. My 25 free games paid 8.82 between them, 4.2x the stake. Stake and lines carry over from the triggering spin, and there is no retrigger, so what you are handed is what you get. The feature accounted for 5% of everything the session won.

Our Minty Verdict: One trigger in 200 spins, 25 free games off five volcanoes, and 8.82 credits to show for them — the feature carried 5% of everything the run won, and the other 95% came from base-game line wins that never got the balance back to where it started.

Down to 4,754.30 before the close

Its all about the free games in this slot, and Wild Rapa Nui is visually attractive while the base game is a bit middling. Any interim win can be risked afterwards, on a red-or-black card pick that doubles or kills it, or on a ladder that moves a level either way, with Split-Win and Take-Win there to bank some or all of it. The bonus delivers a lot of tense drama. The best single result across my 200 spins was spin 190, at 31.50, or 15x the stake. My own 200 spins were not generous. Of the 420.00 wagered, 188.37 came back. The balance never once rose back over where it began, the single bonus paid 4.2x the stake, and the session handed back 44.8% of everything wagered. Duck Shooter from the same studio takes the same 10, 20 or 30 line selection, and Crystal Burst XXL adds a 40 line step on top of it. But Wild Rapa Nui is one of Gamomat's better known slots.
