Wildos Slot by Thunderkick 🎰 Free Demo and Review

Wildos Review

It’s safe to conclude by now that Thunderkick’s recent transformation is not some sidetrack or one off phenomena. Their visual style has changed noticeably, as well as their interface, and they seem less concerned about adding an original twist and innovative spin to their releases. Wildos is a pretty solid installment in the Wild West genre nonetheless, but it does not offer anything that we haven’t seen plenty of times before.

It does not ride into town tall in the saddle taking on the alphas in the genre either, and it comes with a more humorous cartoonish approach than many similar games. Break the bandits free from prison via the dynamite cake scatter, and the sticky wilds (with random multipliers per spin) bonus round is on. You get multiplier wilds also in the base game, and the overall max win is a decent 6,250x your stake. Wildos is well wor

Wildos Slot Features

The high value symbols consist of the 3 bandits, and they pay 30 and 50 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins. The mid-level symbols pay 5 to 7 x your stake in comparison, while the lows pay 3x your stake for the same. The Wild symbol plays a central part in this game, as we shall see below.

Wilds not only step in for pay symbols to help complete and/or improve wins, it also comes with a multiplier of x1 to x5. These Multiplier Wilds can appear on the 3 middle reels only, and the multiplier will boost any line wins the wild takes part in. The wild multipliers are multiplied together if more than one wild is part of the same line win. Landing an x5 wild multiplier on all 3 middle reels can therefore lead to a total win boost of x125, at best.

You need 3 dynamite cake scatters anywhere in view to trigger the Bonus Round, and this gives you 8 free spins. All Wild Symbols are sticky in the bonus round, and they thus remain frozen in place for the reminder of the feature whenever they appear.

The sticky wilds reveal a random multiplier per spin, and each wild that lands highlights 1 of 3 dollar signs in the meter below the respective reel. You win +3 extra spins per meter you fill, which means that you can get up to +9 extra spins in total by filling the 3 middle reels with sticky multiplier wilds.

Thunderkick has finally implemented a Bonus Buy feature, something we’re pretty sure many players have been waiting for. It doesn’t appear in all jurisdictions though, and never in the UK for sure. If you are eligible, you can purchase the bonus round for 100x the stake.

You get to see a near miss scatter teaser in the base game, but nothing else too memorable happened for us there. You can safely skip to 0:50 into the 2:26-minute highlights video, as this is where we purchase the bonus round. It plays out for the remainder of the video, and you can check it all out for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

Thunderkick has gone through somewhat of a metamorphosis lately, and it’s rather obvious if you compare Wildos to most of their previous games. Non-UK players, and anyone eligible, finally get the opportunity to purchase the bonus round, which is a welcome feature since it usually takes a good while to trigger it with this developer. Visually, the cartoonish-looking Wildos also stand out from most of their production, and it will be interesting to compare this to future releases.

The Wild West genre is packed with wilds, multiplier wilds, and sticky wilds is hardly unheard of either. In that regard, you could accuse Wildos for being too cliched, but the lively animations and excellent soundtrack goes a long way. You break out the bandits when the bonus round triggers, and sticky random multiplier wilds can fill all 3 middle reels if you’re lucky. This will lead to solid back to back wins, and up to 6,250x your stake is possible on a good day. Overall, Wildos kept us entertained, and it’s not a Wild West slot that takes itself too seriously.
