Grab your handbags, drop them on the sticky dance floor and then start dancing around them – at least that’s the way it used to be but now we have Wild Beats to enjoy; this is an online slot machine developed by Playtech themed on dance battle – find out how it all works below.

Wild Beats is a five reel slot with four rows and twenty five fixed paylines; as you might expect it has a soundtrack to match the theme and the colourful reels sit against a backdrop which looks like the underside of a road bridge – clearly the ideal location for a dance off.

There are five theme-related symbols and these include the retro stereo, a single trainer, a pair of headphones, some wraparound sunglasses and a baseball cap; the lower values are five acrobatic dance positions.

The wild symbol is a big yellow ‘Wild’, it appears only on reels one, three and five and it will substitute for all others to help form matching combinations except for the the two special wilds – the chap with cap on reel two and the guy with the headphones on reel four.

Bonus Features

Dance It Out!

This is triggered whenever the special wild symbols land on reels two and four in the same spin (if just one of them lands they act as a regular wild); the two wilds now become the opposite corners of a rectangle and any lower value dance position symbols within that shape become wild. Any payouts are now evaluated with all the wilds in position for what should hopefully be a big win.

Verdict

Wild Beats is actually a relatively simple game with some action-packed gameplay and colourful graphics; the feature is integrated into the base game very well and it seems to get triggered quite regularly so this is a slot we recommend. It comes with an RTP of 96.01%.
