Empire of Wilds

About Empire of Wilds

Empire of Wilds is a retro-style slot from Design Works Gaming built on the old stepper machine template: three reels, a single payline and a pay table made up of wilds, red 7s and BAR symbols. There are no free spins or bonus rounds to chase. Everything happens in the base game, one spin at a time.

What gives it a bit more going on than a straight three-reeler is the Nudge Feature. Wild symbols that land just above or just below the payline can shift onto it, turning a near miss into a paying line. With medium volatility and an operator-set RTP of 93.97%, it suits players who like a simple game with a single, easy-to-follow mechanic. Stakes at Midnite start from £0.25 per spin.

How to Play Empire of Wilds

Set your stake, then spin. Wins are paid when three matching symbols line up on the single payline across the middle of the reels, and wilds substitute for other symbols to help complete a line. Because there is only one line, every result is easy to read at a glance: the payline either matches or it doesn't.

Symbols can be visible above and below the payline on each reel. If an eligible wild lands in one of those positions, the Nudge Feature can move it onto the payline, and the arrow on the wild shows which way it points. Once any nudges have been applied, the payline is evaluated as normal. The in-game help screen shows the current pay table and full nudge rules for Midnite's version of the game.

Empire of Wilds Features

• Nudge Feature: Wilds that land directly above or below the payline can nudge onto it to complete or improve a win. The direction of the arrow on each wild shows which way it moves.
• Two wild symbols: There are separate up-arrow and down-arrow wilds. Both substitute for other symbols on the payline, and three matching wilds are the top-paying combination on the pay table.
• Mixed wild pays: A line made up of a mix of the two wild types pays its own prize, separate from three matching wilds.
• Single payline: One line across the middle row keeps the maths and the results simple.

Empire of Wilds Theme and Symbols

Visually, the game leans on classic fruit machine design. Gold-bordered reels sit against an ornate background, and the symbol set is kept short so the pay table is easy to learn.

At the top of the table are the two arrow wilds, followed by a mixed-wild combination. Double red 7s and single red 7s come next, with BAR symbols filling out the lower pays. For the exact values at your chosen stake, check the pay table inside the game.
