Wilhelm Tell Online Pokie

In short, the story told in the Wilhelm Tell pokie is one of tyranny and greed, honour and rebellion. According to legend, Tell assassinated Albrecht Gessler, a brutal ruler and member of the Habsburg royal house of Austria.

The assassination acted as a catalyst for societal change, eventually leading to independence for the Old Swiss Confederacy - the precursor for the modern state of Switzerland. You’ll see references to all of this while playing - in fact Gessler is one of the symbols (try to guess which one!)

Perhaps the most famous story of Wilhelm Tell is when he shot an apple off his son with a crossbow. This is nodded at in the pokie’s Wild symbol, which shows a nervous young man tied to a tree with the fruit perched on his head.

With its 20 different ways of bagging a win, the Wilhelm Tell pokie game can deliver on multiple fronts. You can play the Wilhelm Tell pokie on a desktop computer, or if preferred, an Android or iPhone mobile.

If you’re a frequent online pokie player the controls of Wilhelm Tell won’t prove difficult to understand. The classic Yggdrasil gaming setup is here - with lines, coin value, cash bet, max bet, the spin button, autoplay button, win display and balance all featured at the bottom of the screen.

Other information, such as paytable & free spins information and settings, can be difficult to find at first. Look for a small expandable ‘+’ button located at the bottom right of the screen. After clicking or tapping it you’ll find the paytable, settings tab, about tab and disable sounds option.

One of the extra settings options we loved is the ability to change the spin speed. This is handy if you don’t have a lot of time to play, or on the contrary, if you want a more relaxed gaming session. The currency for Wilhelm Tell is euros by default, but this differs depending on the casino you’re playing at. If you wish, you can swap between coins and euros as currency while playing the free version of the Wilhelm Tell pokie.

If you want to put some stop conditions live while using autoplay you’ll have to do so by accessing the game’s settings via the ‘+’ button again. Make sure to check this out first - because you won’t be prompted with these settings after you click autoplay - the reels will immediately start spinning (unlike some other pokies).

The experience playing Wilhelm Tell on both Android and iPhone is very much the same as desktop, except for the obvious fact that the layout is optimised for mobile use. The settings are located at the bottom right of the screen on mobile while the setup is stacked so that lines and balance sit atop the bet, spin and autoplay buttons. This means that all of the important features of the pokie are accessible via a single tap.

The stacked Wild symbol (Tell’s son hoping his head won’t be shot off) covers 3 reels in the Wilhelm Tell pokie and can show up on all reels of the game. Nudges are a possibility in this pokie. This is when the stacked wild lands only partially visible and the game pushes it into play, giving you extra chances to win.

When it comes to bonus rounds Wilhelm Tell offers a choice of low, medium or high volatility. Every time you trigger from 3-5 Wilhelm Tell free spin scatters you’ll be given a coin win of 2x, 20x or 500x your stake, depending on how many scatters you’ve hit.

You’ll also be given three options for your free spins. This is where your choice of volatility comes into play. You can opt for more free spins with a low multiplier, less free spins with a higher multiplier, or 1 single free spin with a massive volatility 50x multiplier. If you opt for the single free spins option this is where Wilhelm Tell’s maximum win is possible, but remember that the chances of this are insanely high.

The Wilhelm Tell pokie machine base game RTP is 97%, which puts it at an above-average RTP when compared to the industry standard of 96%. Remember that the RTP value is not representative of how often you’ll win, but rather how much of the game’s takings go back to players and how much is taken as an edge by the casino.

The base game’s volatility is low to medium, but as discussed above, when it comes to bonus rounds you have a choice of low to extremely high volatility. As a result of the base game’s volatility setting you can, in theory, expect relatively frequent wins during a Wilhelm Tell play session.

Yggdrasil’s Wilhelm Tell is beyond good looking - it is absolutely stunning, and it’s got some great gameplay to match. While some may not be sold on the base game’s low amount of paylines, others will find the prospect of that single free spin with a 50x multiplier massively enticing. If you want to play games akin to Wilhelm Tell but with more paylines we’d recommend trying out similar Yggdrasil gaming offerings like the Vikings Go Berzerk pokie.

Wilhelm Tell’s bonus free spins have been built to cater to different types of pokie players - so whether you’re a casual player or a high stakes thrillseeker there’s something for you in the Wilhelm Tell pokie.
