Theme and Graphics
It is a vivid portrayal of a Middle Eastern market in ‘Wild Bazaar Prism’. The gaming action takes place in the fully themed open bazaar, which is filled with colorful awnings, lanterns hanging from above, and the noise of a market complimentary to the clip art. In addition to the grievance of the particular reel marks, there are four different types of treasure chests (red-green, pink, and blue), together with matching colored gems, which represent high-value symbols. The less valuable ones are more of an occupation as they just display a wide array of color currencies. The game is well designed and has a musical score that matches the exotic style, making it pleasant but not overly so to the players.
Gameplay and Features
Wild Spins Feature
The most exciting aspect of the game Wild Bazaar, is the Wild Spins feature. It is triggered when a player earns three or more treasure chests of the same color in a winning spin. Each color has its own wild modifier during Wild Spins:
1. Red Chests – Stacked Wilds: Wild symbols appear stacked on the reels filling up several rows for greater chances of winning.
2. Green Chests – Colossal Wilds: Wild symbols extend to a large 2×2 block thus making it easier to get high winning combinations.
3. Pink Chests – Linked Wilds: This modifier comes into play when symbols on reels 1 and 5 are wild and there are other symbols in between them that convert into wilds.
4. Blue Chests – Multiplier Wilds: During Wild Spins, all wins are multiplied by 2x increasing your win. Once the last wild modifier is removed the Wild Spins feature will remain active and this adds exciting unpredictability to the game.
