- A great addition to the popular series from Elk Studios
- Huge range of features with some big wins on offer
- Still let down by the low RTP of just 94%
Wildies comes from Pragmatic Play and it’s another sweet-themed game, although less over the top than many others which I appreciate. The main goal is to get wild multipliers and their respins, but more on that later. You have 5 reels and 4 rows to play with, giving you a total of 25 pay lines. Spin the reels and keep an eye out for the following base symbols, ranked in ascending order based on their value:
- Jack, Queen, King or Ace
- Candy Cane
- Coffee
- Jelly
- Cake

Wildies Slot Bonuses and Features
Wild Symbol. Shown as a biscuit, this symbol substitutes for all other sin a winning combination apart from the scatter symbol. Whenever it lands, it takes up 2 positions either vertically or horizontally and ca appear on all reels.
Wild Respins. When the wild symbol does land, it triggers the wild respin feature. Here, the wild will stay on the screen and the other reels will respin. This can land more wilds, which will then trigger more respins and they all stay in place. The second wild to land will have a multiplier of 2x on it, the 3rd one a 3x multiplier, the 4th one a 5x multiplier and the 5th one a 10x multiplier. These apply to all wins the wilds are part of, and if more than 1 are part of the same win, the multipliers add together. You can land a total of 5 wilds at the time.
Free Spins Bonus. This is triggered when you land 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols, giving you 6 free spins in either case. All wilds are sticky here, but they do move to new positions after each spin. You start off with 1 in a random position. Scatter symbols are collected in the bonus, and after every 3rd one you get another wild on the next free spin, along with 3 ore free spins. The 2nd wild has a 2x multiplier, the 3rd a 3x multiplier, the 4th a 5x multiplier and the 5th a 10x multiplier. You can’t land more than 5. If you trigger the bonus with 4 scatters you start with 2 wilds, and 5 scatters will start you with 3 wilds.
Bonus Buy. In some regions you can buy the bonus for 80x your stake, giving you 3, 4 or 5 scatters.
Conclusion
Wildies slot from Pragmatic Play is a simple yet surprisingly fun game from the developer with a real focus on wild multipliers. The respins feature works well and triggers quite often, sometimes leading to big multipliers that can combine for higher wins. The free spins bonus is naturally better most of the time, and triggering it with 4 or 5 scatters can make a big difference. It’s a volatile slot, but the win potential is an impressive 7,500x your stake and if you’re lucky enough to be able to buy the bonus, 80x seems like a very reasonable price.
