Wanted Wildz Extreme

A neon-lit, cyberpunk take on the Old West drives Wanted Wildz Extreme, the follow-up from Max Win Gaming to its original Wanted Wildz. The skeleton from the first game is back as the wild, now in a setting that mixes frontier dust with futuristic city glow. It launched on 28 November 2023.

The mechanics are straightforward: a 5x3 grid, 20 paylines and wins counted from the left. Bets span 0.20 to 50. The default return is 96.21%, with reduced settings at 94.75%, 92.73% and 90.89%. Volatility is high and the maximum win is 25,000x. Card ranks nine to ace are the lows, paying 1.5x to 2x for five of a kind. Boots, hats, bitcoins and badges pay 5x to 25x for five. The wild appears on every reel, replaces all regular symbols, and returns 100x when five land in a line.

In the base game, the Random Wilds Multiplier can switch on for a single spin. Wilds inside a winning line then multiply it by x2, x5, x25 or x100, matching the current rung of the Wild Multiplier Ladder. When two or more wilds share a line, the multipliers are not stacked, so the line receives the ladder value once.

Three or more scatters start the free spins. The round gives 5 spins to begin with, and wilds that land are locked in place for its whole length. Wilds multiply their lines according to the ladder, and every scatter that lands is added to the ladder. Reaching a new level awards 5 more spins, with the higher multiplier applying from then on, while a landing of three or more scatters adds 5 spins at the existing level.

Two purchase options exist, each priced at 100 times the bet. One buys the ordinary free spins. The other buys 10 spins in which the Random Wilds Multiplier is switched on for every spin. Buying a feature slightly changes the return, nudging it up to 96.25%.

The design is uncomplicated: little to learn, with the potential gathered in the sticky wilds and the climbing ladder.
