Victoria Wild Deluxe: Slot Overview

The first Victoria Wild slot arrived from TrueLab in mid-2020, featuring a fearless adventurer tearing through sandblown deserts on her way to Temple Free Spins or Oasis Free Spins. As an Yggdrasil Exclusive, it achieved a fair bit of traction for the then-rising TrueLab team. That success has brought the heroine back in a follow-up called Victoria Wild Deluxe. “Deluxe” typically suggests a major step up, yet TrueLab has largely opted to reissue the original game. Still, this version does introduce a feature buy option, and it also includes a small but useful tweak to one of the free spins bonuses.

Because “deluxe” is used a little loosely here, players are essentially stepping into the same Victoria Wild adventure again. That’s not necessarily a drawback, as the game has plenty going for it. In the base game, play unfolds on a transparent 5-reel, 15-payline grid set amid desert scenery—crumbling structures, drifts of sand, and twisted, lifeless trees. Victoria is there as well, perched on her motorbike and ready to leap into action when needed. The music is just as stirring as before. In fact, it’s the same soundtrack, but it still delivers that upbeat, adventurous vibe perfectly.

In terms of numbers, a few values have shifted—some up, some down. One that has dropped is RTP, which now sits at 96.22%, or 96.24% when buying free spins, compared to the 96.4% in the original. RTP is variable, so it’s worth checking the setting, while volatility stays the same at medium. Like before, the deluxe edition runs on any device, with stakes ranging from 15 p/c to $/€150 per spin.

Looking at the paytable, there are nine standard symbols, and wins are formed when three or more connect across the 15 fixed paylines. Four low-paying icons are the N, S, E, W compass points; four mid-payers include canteens, boots, bikes, and revolvers, plus one top symbol. That premium symbol is Victoria, paying 40x the bet for five of a kind or 160x the bet for six of a kind in bonus games when an extra reel is added. Multiple wild types can appear at different points, and they share the same value as the Victoria high symbol. Wilds can land anywhere, substituting for regular symbols to help create line wins.

Victoria Wild Deluxe: Slot Features

There aren’t many new extras in the deluxe edition, which isn’t a problem since the original was already feature-rich. The base game includes a Sandstorm feature that triggers randomly on any paid spin. When it hits, 2 to 6 Tornado Wilds drop onto the reels.

If at least one of the added Tornado Wilds collides with another Tornado Wild, Sticky Tornado Respins begin. During respins, all wilds are locked in place while reels respin. Should another wild land, it sticks with the existing wilds and triggers yet another respin. The Sticky Tornado Respin feature finishes once a respin produces no additional wilds.

Temple Free Spins come next and are triggered when 3 or more scatter symbols land. You receive 8, 10, or 12 free spins for landing 3, 4, or 5 scatters. During free spins, a 6th reel is added to the grid, and each time a Lamp Wild lands, Victoria collects it. If, when the free spins end, at least 7 lamp wilds have been collected, the Secret Treasury feature triggers. This grants 1 Wheel of Desire spin, awarding either a payout of 15 to 160x your stake, or a multiplier of x2 to x25, which is applied to the total winnings from Temple Free Spins. Watch out for the single skull segment that results in ‘no win’.

The other bonus round is Oasis Free Spins. Beside the grid, a map sits over the 6th reel. Collecting 25 Oasis symbols in the base game advances you along the map’s route and awards 10 Oasis Free Spins. In this feature, the 6th reel comes into play and Waterfall Wilds can appear. When they land, these wilds cover every position on their reel. In Victoria Wild Deluxe, Waterfall Wilds may land on all 6 reels rather than only reels 2-5 as in the earlier game.

Anyone who doesn’t feel like waiting for Temple Free Spins can now buy them. The price is 56x the bet to guarantee at least 3 Temple Scatters on the next spin. To avoid confusion, Oasis Free Spins cannot be purchased.

Victoria Wild Deluxe: Slot Verdict

If the earlier non-deluxe Victoria Wild kept you entertained, this version should do the same—especially if you like bonus buys. If you simply want more Victoria without caring about the feature buy, the original offers a slightly better return to player value. Yes, Oasis Free Spins now allow Waterfall Wilds on all reels, which is a welcome change, but in most respects the two games feel extremely similar.

So, there’s not much new to say beyond the previous verdict. Victoria Wild Deluxe remains an enjoyable, medium volatile adventure with Indiana Jones-style visuals and a strong soundtrack, and the feature set is solid. Interestingly, the biggest hits during testing came from Sticky Tornado Respins rather than free spins—even after repeatedly going in via the Temple Free Spins bonus buy. The upside is still notable, and Victoria Wild Deluxe includes a win cap of 25,000x the bet. It may not come into play often, though, as the highest TrueLab managed across more than a billion simulated rounds was 16,130 times the bet.

Victoria Wild Deluxe would have felt more exciting if TrueLab had built an entirely new slot around Vicky. Still, it’s a reasonable upgrade for fans of the first game who want direct access to Temple Free Spins and extra potential in Oasis Free Spins. Of course, if the original Victoria Wild didn’t capture your interest, this one is likely to drift by just as quickly—like sand carried on an empty desert wind.
