Ticket To Wild Slot Review

Ticket to Wild Slot Overview

Ticket to Wild from NetEnt is a travel themed slot where I am not flying first class, but rummaging through a suitcase and scribbling notes on a tray table. The action flips between a grounded hotel room vibe in the base game and an aeroplane free spins round. It feels more like a budget backpack trip than a luxury getaway, yet the quirky setup grew on me after a few sessions.

The Ticket to Wild grid starts at five reels and three rows with twenty paylines, but the whole thing can grow as I collect ink blobs on the reels. Those blobs tick up the Progress Bar on the side, feeding into milestone upgrades and fresh ways to land Ticket Wild symbols. That long term progression is the backbone of the slot, tying the base game and bonus round together.

Ticket to Wild Slot Information

Ticket to Wild is a 5 reel, 3 row video slot that can stretch to 4 rows once the Progress Bar does its work, taking you from 20 to 25 paylines. Bet levels run from 0.10 up to 20 per spin, which suits low and mid stakes play. The default RTP sits at 96.13 percent, paired with mid high volatility that can feel quite swingy during long base game stretches.

Max win in Ticket to Wild is capped at 3,110 times your bet, so it is not a monster, yet with stacked Ticket Wild symbols and multipliers active it still has enough punch for me. Wins form by landing three or more matching symbols left to right from reel one. The game runs smoothly on mobile and desktop, and the interface around the Progress Bar keeps the travel theme in focus.

Symbols in Ticket to Wild

Symbol wise, Ticket to Wild keeps things simple. Low pays are serrated 10 to A tokens, paying between 0.6 and 2 times your bet for five of a kind. High pays are postcard style stamps for Japan, India, France and Australia, worth 3 to 10 times the stake for a full line. The stacked Ticket Wild symbol substitutes for everything, pays 10 times the bet for five, and becomes the centrepiece of the main feature.

Ticket to Wild Slot Features

The base game features in Ticket to Wild revolve around Reel Counters and the Credit Card symbol. Each reel has a counter with up to three pins at the start. When I land a Credit Card symbol, it adds one pin to that reel. Filling a Reel Counter to its current maximum drops a Ticket Wild on that reel, which feels like finally swiping a card for an upgrade.

Once in view, a Ticket Wild in Ticket to Wild sticks around for three extra spins, so you get a small cluster of persistence that can line up across several turns. On reels one, three and five the Ticket Wild is transparent while the reels spin, and any Free Spins symbols appear on top of it when they stop. Lines that carry Free Spins symbols over a Ticket Wild do not pay.

The Progress Bar in Ticket to Wild ties straight into these mechanics. Ink blobs that land on symbols add one step to the meter. At 50 blobs, Ticket Wilds stay an extra spin. At 100, the taped bottom row opens, raising lines to 25. At 150, Reel Counters need only two pins. Hitting 200 blobs adds a x2 multiplier to every Ticket Wild, with multiple multipliers summed on the line.

Free Spins in Ticket to Wild

Free Spins in Ticket to Wild trigger when three Free Spins scatters land on reels one, three and five. That awards 10 Free Spins with all four rows active. On the first spin of the feature, two Ticket Wild symbols are added to the reels and they remain in play for the whole bonus. Rather than standing still, they shift position each spin, drifting around the suitcase layout like restless travellers.

Once you have collected all four milestones on the Progress Bar, Free Spins in Ticket to Wild gain even more bite. The round will start with three Ticket Wilds instead of two, and every Ticket Wild carries at least a x2 multiplier. If more than one lands on a winning line, the multipliers add together. When I came in fully upgraded, the feature finally felt like a proper holiday bonus.

Ticket to Wild Slot Verdict

Ticket to Wild left me with mixed feelings, but I kept going back for one more stamp in the virtual passport. The mission style Progress Bar and sticky Ticket Wilds give a sense of building towards something, yet the grind to 200 ink blobs can feel heavy if the reels run cold. With mid high volatility and a 3,110x cap, I see it as a quirky mid stakes travel slot rather than a hardcore max win hunt.
