Ancient Paws

Recorded Ancient Paws bonuses

Ancient Paws has been opened twice between 28 Jun 2026 and 8 Sep 2026, recorded live on stream by streamers on the StreamNeeds network. The best of those paid 180.3× the bet. That is too few opens to say anything about how the game behaves — it is a record of what happened on those occasions, nothing more.

A dog wearing an adventurer's hat leads the way through Ancient Paws, Bullshark Games' archaeology-themed release built around a 5x4 grid that pays across 14 lines rather than a ways or cluster system. Stone-block symbols frame a Mesoamerican-styled dig site, and the game leans on a spreading, multiplying wild mechanic to carry most of its win potential.

Ten pay symbols appear on the reels: five are 10 through Ace playing cards, and five are expedition items — a hat, a lamp, a compass, binoculars and a map. Five-of-a-kind royals pay 0.3x to 0.5x the bet, while the item symbols pay 0.8x to 2x. Wilds fill in for any of these when they appear.

The core mechanic is the Expanding Wild, which comes in two forms. A silver version expands to cover half a reel, while a golden version covers the whole reel; both can carry a random multiplier anywhere from x2 to x100. When two or more of these wilds land on the same reel and overlap, they merge into a single stacked wild and their multipliers add together. A separate Multiplier Adder symbol boosts any expanding wilds already in view by 1 to 3 additional multiplier steps of the same x2-x100 range, then converts into a wild itself.

Free spins arrive through the Trail of Treats feature, triggered by 3, 4 or 5 scatters for 8, 10 or 12 spins respectively. Hitting the top end with five scatters guarantees at least one expanding wild on the opening spin. Inside the feature, expanding wilds stay on the grid for its full duration and relocate to a new position each spin, still merging and combining multipliers whenever they overlap, and every extra scatter that lands adds one more spin to the round.

Ancient Paws carries a maximum RTP of 96.16% (a lower 94.25% configuration is also available), rated high volatility at 4 out of 5, with a 26.35% hit frequency. Stakes run from 0.10 to 100, and the top prize is 15,000x the bet. Three feature buy options let players skip ahead: one raises the odds of triggering free spins for 3x the bet, another guarantees two wild symbols for 50x, and a third jumps straight into the Trail of Treats for 150x.
