WILDIES: SLOT OVERVIEW
Last Updated: June 29, 2024Written by Stephen Cummings
If sweet treats and big wins are your sort of thing, then Wildies from Pragmatic Play may be just the slot you have been waiting for. The SlotsHawk team will test and play Wildies for real money so that you can get an example of what this slot has to offer.
WILDIES: FIRST IMPRESSIONS
The first thing you will notice is that Wildies is played on a 4×5 grid with the slot reels being on top of a sweet shop. All the symbols are related to food or drink in some way or another. You will also note that the most important symbol is the wild symbol, when triggered, you will get a number of respins in order to try to hit the big payouts.
During our test, in just our third spin we hit a huge 122x multiplier whilst betting our usual opening amount of £1 per spin. Following this big win, we increased our bet to £2 per spin in order to try to trigger some even bigger wins. We hit another decent win of a 15x multiplier to keep us ticking over as we went a fair few spins without much happening, but that is to be expected from a high variance slot. Funnily enough, I started playing this slot just after I had finished playing a scatter pays slot, so I half expected the reels to explode with every win!
Just so you know, when a wild biscuit sandwich symbol appears on the reels, it cats as a scatter and will also allow you a respin with the wild symbol sticking to the reels. The wild symbols are your key to the bigger multipliers. We played on for a while in order to try to trigger a bonus game, but before we knew it we hit another huge win with a total multiplier of 122x for a £224 win. At tis point we decided to walk away with a £212 win.
WILDIES FEATURES
The features in Wildies are very modern and nice. The wild feature is sticky and even though it sticks to the reels, it doesn’t cover any of the reels when it sticks. There are scatter symbols of course which trigger the bonus game and there are multipliers aplenty. Respins and walking wilds are available too.
Full list of features:
- Free spins
- Bonus game
- Respins
- Walking wilds
- Multipliers
- Scatter symbols
WILDIES RETURN TO PLAYER (RTP) AND MAXIMUM PAYOUTS
Wildies has a return to player (RTP) of 96.01%, which is right around average in comparison to other slot games. We are happy with this RTP and although it isn’t the best, it is still very solid overall.
The maximum potential payout available in this slot is 7,500x, which is above average. When we played Wildies for real money, we managed to trigger a multiplier of 122x from a £2 bet.
STRATEGIES WHEN PLAYING WILDIES FOR REAL MONEY
The first thing you need to know is that there are zero strategies which can guarantee wins as all slot machines are luck-based. However, there are a few things you can do to increase your chances of winning. First of all, the average RTP of Wildies ensures that the casino only has a small edge – which is a good thing.
Secondly, you should play within your bank roll. Wildies has high variance/volatility, and the thing which all high volatility online slots have in common is that wins can be few and far between. Therefore, you do not want to play through your bankroll before you have managed to trigger a big win. For example, if you would like to bet £1 per spin, we recommend having a bankroll of at least £100.
We can also recommend playing WIldies at a new slot site, this will allow you to take advantage of a welcome bonus. For example, if you play Wildies for real money at Casumo casino, you can get a matched deposit bonus which you can use on Wildies.
EXTRA INFO
Wildies is played on 4 reels and 5 rows with 25 paylines and is themed around sweets. The symbols consist of various food and drink items with the wild symbol being the ice-cream sandwich. There are several excellent feature with the walking wilds being my favourite one. Big wins are entirely possible here. Wildies was released on 06/06/2024 and is developed by Pragmatic Play. The minimum bet per spin is 25p and the max bet is £250 per spin.
THE SLOTSHAWK VERDICT
“One of Pragmatic Plays best slot releases for a while now, Wildies has great graphics alongside fantastic gameplay, and this combination paves the way for a great slot game.”
