Wild Chase: Tokyo Go (Quickspin): Overview

If you remember when Quickspin launched the original Wild Chase slot, this follow-up will feel like a nostalgic throwback. Roughly three years later, the familiar trio is back together for another big-time heist, and even though the previous job was meant to be their final act, the opportunity in Wild Chase Tokyo Go was simply too enticing to ignore. And, to be fair, they may also be a bit short on cash to maintain the flashy lifestyle of a successful thief.

On this outing, the stylish crew swaps the Riviera for the land of the rising sun, bringing high-speed thrills to a fresh location. Developed by Swedish provider Quickspin, the game differs greatly from the original, though you’ll still spot some familiar touches. It’s notably more volatile than its predecessor and runs on 5 reels in a default layout of 3-3-4-4-5 rows with 76 paylines that can grow into a 5×5 grid offering 259 ways to win thanks to consecutive wins. If you’re ready for fast, furious slot play, you can spin on any device with stakes from 0.20 to €/$100 per spin.

This eye-catching slot drops you right into bustling Tokyo, delivering some striking city visuals. Anyone who enjoys car-chase films should feel right at home here. With neon-soaked streets and your Lambo escape car tearing down the highway, the reel symbols radiate luxury and adrenaline. One nice touch in Quickspin’s paytable is that all symbol values scale with your current bet and update instantly whenever you adjust it. Much appreciated. On the reels you’ll find premium items like champagne bottles, diamond rings, high-end watches, gold bars, and diamonds paying from 0.30 t0 1.25 times your stake. The bigger prizes come from the four character symbols: a motorcycle police woman and the trio of thieves. The suave male thief is the top payer, awarding 2.5 times your total stake. The Wild Chase Tokyo Go logo acts as the wild and substitutes for all symbols in the game.

Wild Chase: Tokyo Go (Quickspin): Features

As with the original, Wild Chase Tokyo Go skips a free spins round, so expect the pace to stay relentless. That said, there are still mechanics here that can work in your favor. Whenever you hit a winning combination—regardless of which symbol makes it—the Moving Reel Respin feature triggers and awards a respin. With 43.11% of the RTP assigned to this feature, you should see it activate quite often.

With every respin, the reels grow and the number of win ways increases. As wins land, symbols shift one position to the left, with the far-left symbols dropping out of sight. The remaining symbols stay on the screen while another respin takes place. This keeps going until no further winning combinations appear. At maximum expansion, the setup becomes a 5×5, 259 ways to win format and expands as follows:

• The 1st respin gives you 90 ways to win.
• The 2nd respin gives you 154 ways to win.
• The 3rd respin gives you 164 ways to win.
• The 4th respin gives you 259 ways to win.

And that’s not the end of it. If you score a winning combination on your 4th respin, the Super Respin feature kicks in. Played on the fully expanded 5×5, 259 ways to win reel set, all winning symbols lock in place while the game continues to respin until no additional winning symbols are added to the reels. In the best case scenario, this can lead to wins of up to 2,757 times your stake.

Wild Chase: Tokyo Go (Quickspin): Verdict

With medium to high variance, Wild Chase: Tokyo Go revolves around chaining wins together. To really access what it can do, you’ll need to open up all 259 win ways. Even so, keep in mind that the 2,757x max win was the highest result recorded across one billion test spins during development. Even landing 100x or more can be tough, as it statistically occurs only about 1 in 1467 spins. Put simply, Wild Chase Tokyo Go may not deliver the kind of “heist” you had in mind.

There’s no question it’s a gorgeous slot with excellent animation work and a strong soundtrack, but in this case the engine and math model don’t fully match the quality of the visuals—something that, unfortunately, isn’t unheard of with Quickspin. Newcomers and casual players will probably enjoy the ride, but for more serious gamblers it may feel less like a high-octane chase and more like a gentle game of catch at the retirement home.
