Born WILD

Our recorded Born WILD bonus

We have opened Born WILD once on 13 Oct 2026 on stream and logged the result. The best of them paid 64× the bet. That is too few open to say anything about how the game behaves — it is a record of what happened on that occasion, nothing more.

Hacksaw Gaming built Born Wild around a menagerie of predators prowling a 5-reel, 4-row grid set against a plain, patterned background, keeping the studio's usual stripped-back visual style rather than reaching for anything elaborate.

Twenty fixed paylines pay out on three or more matching symbols in a row. Ten different pay symbols fill the reels: five lower-value entries represented by animal sounds — Howl, Claw, Hisss, Grrrr and Roar — each worth 1x the stake for five in a line, and five higher-value predators (wolves, rhinos, gorillas, tigers and cobras) paying between 10x and 25x the bet for a full line of five. A wild symbol substitutes for any of these and pays 250x the stake for five in a row on its own, though that combination is rare outside of the two bonus rounds, where wilds turn sticky.

Three bear scatters anywhere on the reels open the free spins round: every wild that lands during the 10 spins stays locked in place for the rest of the feature, and the round simply plays out until the spins run out. Landing three or more lion symbols instead starts Lion's Roar respins, where every new lion that appears also sticks and resets the respin count, and the feature keeps going for as long as fresh lions keep landing. Locking lions across the entire grid pays the game's maximum win outright. If that doesn't happen before the respins run dry, one final spin converts every locked lion into a wild before the feature closes out.

Where regulations allow it, Lion's Roar respins can also be bought directly for 129x the stake, though the RTP drops to 93.78% when that route is used rather than triggering the feature through play.

Born Wild carries a base RTP of 93.8%, on the low side for the format, paired with high volatility and a maximum win of €10,000,000 — an unusually large fixed prize next to the studio's other jackpot-style releases. Stakes run from 0.20 up to 100 per spin, and given the below-average RTP, the pull here is squarely the size of that top prize rather than steady base-game returns.
