Wildies review
Wildies swaps the usual temples and lakes for a café table. Cakes, jellies, cups of coffee and candy canes fill the board, and the studio's pitch is that the Wild symbol is the key to the whole game. A Wild opens a respins feature, three swirl scatters open the free spins, and a meter links the two. It was released in 2024, and the catalogue lists one RTP, 96.01%, with no volatility or max win.
A sweet board with a single key symbol
The symbol set is all café treats: cakes, jellies, coffee cups and candy canes. These supply the ordinary wins. The studio's page does not state the grid size or a payline count, so we leave both out.
Everything interesting hangs on the Wild. It does the usual job of completing combinations, and it also switches on the respins feature, which is where the game builds its own pace.
Wild respins
Once the feature starts, the Wild stays in place while the reels keep spinning. The loop ends only when a spin brings no further Wilds. That makes the length of the sequence open-ended: each new Wild extends it, and a spin without one closes it.
Wild respins
A landed Wild is held while the reels respin, and the run continues until no more Wilds appear. The studio also mentions a x10 multiplier connected to having up to five Wilds in the respin round, which suggests the feature rewards a fuller board.
Free spins from the swirl scatters
Three scatter swirls open the free spins round with an opening six spins. A bigger trigger changes the starting position of the Wild feature. Four scatters begin it with two Wilds, and five begin it with three. Those larger triggers also place scatters on a meter: three for four scatters, six for five.
The studio does not explain what the meter pays when it fills, so the in-game information screen is the source for that detail. What the numbers do show is that the free spins reward a stronger trigger by moving the round further along from its first spin.
The price of a session
The only listed RTP is 96.01%, a house edge of 3.99%. Across a long run, that is about $39.90 lost per $1,000 wagered. Over 100 spins, the average cost is $0.80 at $0.20 a spin, $3.99 at $1 and $19.95 at $5, which is $500 wagered.
Volatility and max win are not published for this title. Results in any session can sit well above or below those averages.
Games on the same return
Castle of Fire lists the same 96.01% and also dates from 2024. Buffalo King Untamed Megaways and Ripe Rewards list 96.02%, while Crank It Up, Heroic Spins and Jackpot Hunter list 96%. The spread is a few hundredths of a point, so the return will not be what sets them apart.
Pros
- Wild respins keep a Wild in place until a spin brings no further Wilds
- Four or five scatters start the free spins with extra Wilds already in play
- A x10 multiplier is tied to a full set of Wilds in the respin round
- Free official demo available
Cons
- No volatility rating or max win in our catalogue
- The studio page does not state grid size, paylines or what the meter pays
Verdict
Wildies is a light-hearted, dessert-themed slot whose depth lies in one idea, the held Wild and its respins, with a free round that starts from six spins and scales with the scatter count. The 96.01% RTP gives a 3.99% house edge, and volatility is not published, so the pace of the game is unknown from the data. The free demo is the practical way to judge whether the respin loop suits you.
