Don’t Die

Wicked Games sends Don't Die down a satirical road, poking at humanity's oldest obsession: cheating death. The setting is some sort of compound plastered with an 'Evolve or Die' banner, run by a chiselled, wild-eyed figure convinced he's already beaten mortality, with medicinal mushrooms, blood bags, and branded serum bottles propped up nearby as his supposed proof of concept.

Play takes place on a 6-reel, 4-row grid with 40 paylines running left to right. The paytable splits between a set of character symbols as the high pays and a run of clinical, slightly grim low pays — bloodied drinks, medicine bottles, mushrooms, medical devices, and fingers packed in ice. Wild symbols can land on any reel at any stage of the game: in the base game they start out as a single position and can expand upward to two, three, or four cells tall.

The free spins are triggered by scatters, with six landing at once opening the round at 8 free spins and setting how many positions are already filled on a meter, depending on how many scatters landed on that spin. Inside the feature, each further scatter symbol that appears adds to the meter, and every two collected push it forward a stage, which in turn raises the minimum height new wilds land at. Reach the final stage and every new wild locks in at full height and freezes in place for a spin, along with anything already connected to it. Wilds in free spins always expand on landing and can carry a multiplier anywhere from x2 to x100, with multiple wild multipliers adding together inside the same win. They also walk one reel to the left with each subsequent spin, keeping their size and multiplier until they walk off the grid — and a randomly triggered super free spins mode lets those walking wilds leave clones behind, merging size and multiplier whenever a moving wild lands on top of one.

A dedicated Don't Die mechanic kicks in whenever the free spins counter runs out with wilds still in view: the round continues with respins until every wild has cleared the reels, and any new wild that lands buys the feature more time. Outside of that, a set of Wicked Boosters lets players pay extra per spin to shift the odds, with options starting around 2x the stake to improve the chance of a bonus or guarantee its bigger version, and buy options that jump straight into a chosen stage of free spins for players who'd rather skip the base game entirely.

Don't Die runs a 96.16% RTP at medium volatility, with a maximum win of 10,000x the stake. Bets span 0.20 to 400 per spin, a wide enough range to suit both cautious testing and heavier session play.
