The Wildos

Thunderkick takes a cartoonish trip to the frontier in The Wildos, trading grim realism for a bright palette and a dusty town whose two main buildings are the jailhouse and the bank. Three masked bandits peer out from behind bars beside the reels, waiting for exploding cakes to release them.

The grid has 5 reels, 3 rows and 15 paylines. Wins need three to five matching symbols along a line from the leftmost reel. There are ten pay symbols. The four card suits are the low pays, a shackled boot, a hat and bottles make up the mid tier, and three bandit characters are the top symbols. Five of a kind returns 3x the stake for the suits, 5x to 7x for the mids and 30x to 50x for the bandits.

Multiplier Wilds land on the three central reels and replace everything except scatters. Each carries a value from x1 to x5 that applies to any line it helps complete. When several appear in one win, their values are multiplied together, so an x4 and an x2 make x8, and three x5 wilds reach the ceiling of x125.

The Bonus Game starts when three dynamite cake scatters land, awarding 8 free spins. Wilds stay sticky for the whole round, and each sticky wild shows a fresh random multiplier on every spin. Landing wilds also fill positions on a meter beneath their reel, and completing a meter adds 3 spins, up to 9 extra in total. Where a buy button is present, the round can be bought for 100x the bet.

Thunderkick lists the RTP at 96.15% in normal play and 96.44% when the bonus is bought. Volatility is high, stakes run from 0.10 to 100, and the maximum win is 6,250x the stake. The slot was released in March 2023.
