Smore Mallows Wild Surge is pure sugar rush. A grinning marshmallow chef with braces beams from the left side, while four squishy pots in red, green, yellow and pink yell from above the grid. Everything is glossy pink and candy-striped. My stake was 2.00, from a 1,000.00 bankroll.
Theme and Gameplay
Striped heart sweets, swirled candies and the Smore Mallows logo lead the pays, with bubbly A and K letters lower down. Big coloured coins mark the Mini, Minor, Major and Mega jackpots, which start at 10x, 25x, 250x and 2,500x the bet, and a row of WildSurge icons above the grid shows which features are switched on.
Slot Features
WildSurge symbols spin a wheel, and every result turns a zone of the reels wild. Regular and Double types are active from the start; a 50-spin counter then unlocks Wild Column, Wild Row, Wild Cross, Respin, No Low, Wild Multiplier and finally Infinite, which turns every symbol wild. Some add x2 or x3 wilds, No Low clears the low symbols and cascades fresh ones in, and multiplier wilds of x2 to x10 add together in a win.
Red, green, yellow and pink Bonus symbols fill matching pots and can randomly start UpZones LockNWin, with 3 to 6 spins and the same number of UpZones. Coins worth 0.5x to 100x land, and coins in an UpZone spin a top row holding Collect, Boost, Multiplier, Spin, Jackpot and Funtastic zone stars. Multipliers reach x100, and Funtastic zones boost coins by up to 125x. Before playing, the Red, Green or Yellow round can be gambled on a wheel for the next tier, at 82.55%, 59.73% and 66.71% odds.
Two to five scatters give a choice of 8 to 15 free spins or the matching pot bonus. Free spins bring more WildSurge symbols, and a yellow star collected on every reel spins a Bonus Wheel.
RTP and Win Potential
Once every WildSurge type is unlocked, a 2x Frequency Boost costs 2x the bet and a 15x boost costs 10x, while bonus buys run from 50x to 150x, with a Mystery option at 60x. Jackpot values grow by 1x bet per Jackpot Coin, capped at 25x, 100x, 500x and 5,000x. Expect high volatility.
My Thoughts On This Slot
Smore Mallows Wild Surge is a feature buffet. Unlocking new WildSurge types gives long sessions a sense of progress, and the UpZones round is lively and varied. The art is relentlessly cheerful.
Newcomers face plenty of rules, and the best tools stay locked until you’ve put in hundreds of spins.
