- A new halloween-themed game from Pragmatic Play
- Infective wilds can turn cats and ravens into wilds
- Sticky wilds during the free spins bonus
It’s nearly halloween, and you know what that means. No, not trick or treating, halloween-themed slots! Infective Wild slot from Pragmatic Play is one of the first to appear, with a spooky theme set somewhere in a creepy, misty woods. It looks good I have to say, and it feels like quite a lot of details has gone in to the design overall. In the foreground you have a set of 5 reels and 5 rows, giving you a total of 40 pay lines. In order to get things started, just spin the reels and try to get a winning combination from left to right along any of these pay lines with at least 3 matching symbols. The symbols you need to look out for are as follows, ranked in ascending order based on their value:
- 10, Jack or Queen
- King or Ace
- Potion
- Grave
- Cauldron
- Hat
- Raven
- Cat

Infective Wild Slot Bonuses and Features
Wild Symbol. Shown as a pumpkin, this symbol substitutes for all others in a winning combination apart from the scatter. It can appear on the first 4 reels.
Infective Wild. When a wild symbol lands horizontally or vertically next to a cat or raven symbol, the infective wild symbol triggers. Either of these symbols that touch it will also turn into wilds, and if these are next to more cats or ravens, the same will happen again until it can’t anymore.
Free Spins Bonus. To trigger this you need scatter symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 at the same time. A random number of free spins is given, determined by an initial spin of a 3×3 set of reels, where each position reveals a number of free spins that are all then added together. During the bonus, any wild symbols that land will remain sticky, meaning they stay in place for the whole bonus. They still work as infective wilds, so will turn other cat or raven symbols next to them into wilds too. You cannot retrigger the bonus.
Bonus Buy. Outside the U.K., you can buy the free spins bonus for 100x your stake.
Conclusion
Infective Wild slot from Pragmatic Play is their latest release, in time for halloween. It has a spooky but kind of theme design and I do like the detail shown in the background behind the reels. As the title of the slot suggests, the main feature is about infective wilds, wild symbols that can turn some other symbols into wilds, which can then turn more symbols into wilds. It can work pretty well, especially during the free spins bonus where wilds are sticky so it triggers more often. It’s a fairly funs lot to play, but it’s not that innovative or exciting if I’m being completely honest, and it does just feel like a slot that’s trying to capitalise on the holidays rather than offer something truly exciting.
