Wild Chicago review
Wild Chicago is a crime story told with animals. A Crocodile Boss runs the streets with a gang in Italian suits, black cars and Thompson guns, and the player is asked to pick a side. The boss doubles wins when he lands as a wild, and the free spins triple them. The rules are short, but the volatility label is not: Very high.
The Crocodile Boss wild
In the studio's story, the crocodile is the unstoppable force of the underworld, and in the rules he is the wild symbol. He completes a winning combination by standing in for any symbol on a line, with one exception: the scatter.
He also multiplies the combination he joins by 2. A win built with the boss is therefore worth double the same win without him. There is no other multiplier in the main game described by the studio, so the base spins revolve around this single effect.
Free spins, retriggers and the Buy Bonus
Three or more scatters trigger 15 free spins. If three or more scatters land together in one spin during the round, it is retriggered. Every win in the free spins is multiplied by 3.
Players who prefer not to wait can buy the round at the price printed on the Buy Bonus button. The next spin after the purchase starts the free spins. The studio rules list no other bonus option for this game, so the choice is simply between waiting for scatters and paying for the round.
What a session costs
The listed RTP is 97.1%, which leaves a house edge of 2.9% and an expected cost of $29 for every $1,000 wagered. Over 100 spins, a $0.20 bet costs about $0.58, a $1 bet about $2.90 and a $5 bet about $14.50.
Our catalogue does not publish a max win. The studio's FAQ says a maximum payout of up to 4,684 times the stake, and we repeat it as the studio's claim. Very high volatility together with that cap suggests that most of the result sits in a small share of spins, so the average figures above say little about any single session.
Other 2023 Very-high-volatility BGaming games
Savage Buffalo Spirit lists the same 97.1%. Gemhalla, Gemza, Gemza X-mas and Tramp Day all show 97.17%, and Book of Panda MEGAWAYS has 97.07%. All were released in 2023 and share the Very high rating, which makes them natural comparisons if the return matters more to you than the theme.
Pros
- x2 wild and x3 free spin wins give the maths a clear structure
- Free spins can be retriggered by three or more scatters
- 97.1% RTP, a 2.9% house edge
- Free official demo available
Cons
- Very high volatility means uneven results and long dry spells
- Our catalogue lists no max win; the 4,684x figure comes from the studio's FAQ
- The studio rules are short: one wild, one bonus round and a purchase button
Verdict
Wild Chicago is a compact slot with a strong visual idea and a short list of rules: a wild that doubles, free spins that triple and a Buy Bonus button. The 97.1% RTP is fine on paper, but Very high volatility means sessions can swing hard in both directions. Keep stakes modest, remember the 2.9% house edge, and let the free demo show you the pace.
