We have opened Pandemic Rising once on 17 Sep 2026 on stream and logged the result. The best of them paid 107.35× 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.
Pragmatic Play's Pandemic Rising plays out across a 5-reel, 4-row grid with 40 paylines evaluating every spin, framed around a global-outbreak backstory that leans on conspiracy-theory imagery rather than straight horror. High volatility runs through the maths here, alongside a 96.51% RTP at the default setting, with 95.51% and 94.51% configurations also on offer. Betting stretches from 0.20 up to 240 per round, and the game hits on roughly 1 in every 3.94 spins.
Two optional ante wagers sit above the base bet. The first, at 4x the stake, makes the free spins trigger roughly ten times more often; the second, at 10x, guarantees a wild with a random multiplier on every single spin regardless of whether the free spins round is running.
Eleven symbols fill the paytable: a run of 10-through-Ace card royals as the low end, and five character symbols as the premiums. Five matching royals across a line pay 1x to 1.5x the bet, while five matching character symbols pay 2.5x to 20x.
Wilds land only on the three middle reels and substitute for every paying symbol, each one carrying its own multiplier of x1 to x10; when a winning line runs through more than one wild, their multipliers add together before the payout is calculated. Landing three scatters — which can appear on the first, middle and last reels — triggers 8 free spins plus a payout of 2x the stake. Wilds that land during the round stay locked in place until it ends, and a separate multiplier meter tracks Virus symbols collected during the same spins: every three collected pushes the meter up a level, up to a ceiling of x100, and adds one extra spin each time.
Buying in costs 100x the stake for a standard entry into the free spins, or 500x for a super version that starts the round with two wilds already placed at random positions, each carrying its own random multiplier.
