Wild Bazaar™ Overview
Join the hustle and bustle of Wild Bazaar, full of exotic spices, books, bric a brac, carpets and colourful fabrics just waiting for someone to haggle their way to some fantastic rewards! Wild Bazaar is one of NetEnt's most recent releases, and while it doesn't have the plethora of bonus features and free spins we so crave, there is plenty to keep you busy, and lot's to wrap your head around thanks to four different Wilds!
Game Design
Wild Bazaar is a five reel game set amongst an Arabian market. We're not sure how authentic this is supposed to be but the design certainly has plenty of fun and excitement about it. Shiny trinkets and gems fill the reels along with four treasure chests each with a hidden Wild inside, but more on those in a bit!
The sounds of the bustling marketplace fill your ears as you spin the reels hoping to pick up a bargain or two! The five-reel game features 26 fixed bet lines. Only the highest bet line is paid with wins calculated from left to right.
The board is set within a market stand surrounded by various paraphernalia and odds and ends. On top of the reels, you'll notice the four different Wild descriptions. These will light up depending on which Wilds you have triggered. It can be one, two or a combination of all of the Wilds. Just think of the possibilities!
Game Controls
As with the majority of NetEnt's video slots, you can toggle the bet level and coin value to suit your needs. Decide ahead of playing how much you'd like to gamble and then stick with that. From there you can decide what you'd like your stake to be. You can play this game from anywhere between £0.20 per spin up to a whopping £400 although that seems pretty excessive for this game!
The coin value can be adjusted to between 1 and 10 with it increasing 20 coins per level. You can then amend the coin value. You will be shown the value of each bet clearly at the base of the reels, so there are no nasty surprises!
Game Features
Overall, Wild Bazaar is a fairly simple game, and it doesn't offer a free spins feature in the standard sense. The gameplay is very much centred around the various wild features that can be triggered and how they can interact and combine to create some decent wins.
The treasure chests are the four most important symbols in the game. As they appear they can trigger 1 of 4 Wild Spins Features. Here's what you need to know:
- Wild Symbol – 3 or more matching chest symbols appearing consecutively on a winning bet line (starting with the leftmost reel) in the main game will award the player with 1 of 4 Wild Spins features. These include Stacked Wilds, Colossal Wilds, Linked Wilds and x2 Multiplier Wilds.
- Stacked Wild – appears as the red chest symbol. In this feature, any wilds appear as stacks of 4.
- Colossal Wilds – appear as the green chest symbol. All wilds appear as 2×2 colossal symbols.
- Linked Wilds – appears as the pink chest symbol. When activated, the leftmost and rightmost Wilds appearing on the same row will transform all symbols in the row into Wilds.
- X2 Multiplier Wilds – appears as the blue chest symbol. When activated, all wins that include at least 1 Wild symbol are multiplied by 2.
- Wild Spins – the various Wilds can combine and interact and will cover the entire reels gradually as more wilds are added.

Wild Bazaar™ Verdict!
While Wild Bazaar has plenty of charm, it lacks the wow factor we have come to expect from NetEnt. The various different wilds add to the gameplay and can create some good opportunities for decent wins, but we can't help but feel it's missing something.

Harper's Bazaar is a 153-year-old legacy magazine using social media platforms to help it become a modern, digital fashion authority.
The brand's digital presence not only helps amplify its print stories, but diversify revenue through e-commerce and advertising — turning fans of the magazine into digital consumers of luxury fashion and beauty.
And three months ago, Nikki Ogunnaike rejoined the magazine as the brand's new digital director to help strategize ways it can grow and monetize its audience, including staying on top of digital trends.
'Now is this weird, sort of wild, wild west time' of new social media platforms that Harper's has to consider in its digital strategy, including Clubhouse and Twitch, said Ogunnaike on the latest episode of the Digiday Podcast.
Excerpts of the conversation have been lightly edited and condensed for clarity.
Keeping video franchises alive during a pandemic
Video is still incredibly important to us in social media so I think everyone knows that we still have to do it. We're still trying to figure out how we keep our really key franchises going and working with the subjects to do so. So you have something like, 'Go To Bed With Me,' which is a key video franchise that we have on YouTube, and we've had celebrities now shoot themselves. We're using this sort of user-generated content that we probably wouldn't have necessarily used or thought of using in the past, because we could have sent a crew there to do it. We're adapting and we're really finding success with that as well.
On working with celebrities during a pandemic
I've seen a real evolution in working with celebrities on both the print and digital sides. Celebs now are being more thoughtful about their press opportunities, but they're being a little less precious about it as well, if that makes sense. So they will have their assistant do a shoot for them or they'll do a Zoom shoot and it'll be fine. I think right now everyone's just trying to roll with the punches and sort of adapt to what the current situation is.
Luxury shopping is in full swing but the products have shifted
Wild Bazaar Biarritz
[Our editors started doing] a round-up of our favorite things that we're coveting or buying in the e-commerce space and our beauty director Jenna Rosenstein did a before and after testimonial on an OPTE beauty device and the devices are $600, but we sold almost $27,000 worth of product on the site. Our reader will shop and buy big ticket items. And so one would think that during these times people aren't necessarily shopping as much, but the Bazaar woman is and so we're still creating that content for her. The shopping is different, but we're finding that our commerce revenue has been up 121% year over year.
