Pragmatic Play · 2024
Wildies is a 5x5 food-themed video slot by Pragmatic Play with high volatility. Here you find its figures, round flow, bonus modes and what applies in Australia.
Demo is free. Real play needs an account and you must be 18+.
Symbols land on a 5x5 grid with a food theme, and a win needs at least 3 matching symbols on a payline. Wins are read from left to right across 25 paylines. The symbols are WILD, Cherry Cupcake, Purple Jelly, Coffee Cup, Candy Cane, and the card values A, K, Q and J. A win pays by symbol and by how many of them match on the line.
A WILD landing in the base game starts a respin with the Wilds locked in place. Each new WILD adds a multiplier, from x2 for the second up to x10 for the fifth. Three Scatters trigger Free Spins with 6 spins, and four or five Scatters also start with one or two Wilds. Wilds carry over and teleport on each spin.

Wildies free spins
This settles how each mode starts, what happens inside, and what you get.
A WILD landing in the base game starts a Wild Respin. The Wilds lock in place and the reels respin. Each new WILD adds a multiplier: 2nd x2, 3rd x3, 4th x5, 5th x10. Multipliers on the same combo add together. It ends when no new WILD lands.
Base game spinGrowing multipliers
3, 4 or 5 Scatters trigger 6 free spins. Four Scatters add 1 starting Wild, five add 2. All Wilds persist, teleport each spin and keep their multipliers. Every 3 Scatters collected add 1 Wild and 3 extra spins. Max 5 Wilds, no retrigger after the 5th.
Three Scatters land6 free spins
A WILD lands as a block of 2 symbols. The base game plays on a 5x5 grid with 25 paylines, and wins count from left to right. Any WILD landing triggers the Wild Respin.

Wildies, reel by reel
After reading, you will have followed one round from bet to limit.
The 5x5 grid sits still until you set a bet between A$0.25 and A$250. Each of the 25 paylines pays on that stake.
Symbols on each payline read from left to right. A line needs at least three matching symbols to pay, and the match must begin on the left reel.
A WILD block that lands starts a Wild Respin. The wilds lock in place while the reels respin, and each new WILD adds a multiplier, from x2 up to x10.
Three Scatters land and start Free Spins, which award 6 spins. Four Scatters add one starting Wild, five add two, and every Wild then teleports on each spin.
Each spin ends on the reels, so set a limit on money and time first. If play stops feeling fun, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858.
Buy Free Spins costs 80 times the bet, so it climbs with the stake and the table gives the cost at the top example bet.

Return to player is measured per A$100 staked. At 96.00, the game pays back A$96 per A$100 over a long run, not one session. This site's running version is in the game rules.

Try it
The worry is staking money on a game you have not seen run.
Each demo spin needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs a Betya Casino account, and you must be 18+.
Start playingEach spin deals a new set of symbols across the 5x5 grid, and the bonus round comes only when the reels trigger it. How often that happens is not known in advance. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP version. The RTP figure describes the long run, not the next spin.
Every spin on Wildies runs under one RTP version, and the game rules name which one Betya Casino runs. Check that line before you play for real money, since the two versions pay back at different rates.
Wins on the 25 paylines pay from left to right, and the top prize is a ceiling that very few spins reach. The maximum win is a multiple of the bet, so the amount grows with the stake you choose. Treat that figure as the most the game can pay, not as an expectation for any session.
Five slots reviewed
The other games reviewed on this site, with their providers, so you can compare before you start.
Players must be 18 or older. Help is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and you can self-exclude through BetStop.
Decide how much you can afford to lose before the first spin, and keep that amount separate from the rest of your money.
Set your stopping point before the session starts, and keep to it after a win too. A big win does not make the next spin safer.
Use the deposit and loss limits in your account before you play Wildies, so the cap applies before the reels start.
When the game stops being fun, pause and step away for a while, and if the urge to keep spinning grows, self-exclude.
Six plain replies
Useful before the first spin, or when the bet limits and the paytable raise questions.
Each spin on Wildies runs on one of two RTP versions, 96.00% or 96.01%. RTP is a long-run average over a very large number of spins, so it says nothing about what one session will return. The two versions differ only slightly.
Every spin on Wildies can be bet from A$0.25, the lowest stake, up to A$250, the highest allowed. The paytable is shown for A$1, while A$2 and A$10 are only examples.
Wins on Wildies can reach x7,500 times the bet, the largest prize in this game. At the top bet of A$250, that comes to A$1,875,000. Reaching it depends on luck and cannot be planned.
Landing three, four or five Scatters starts the Free Spins round. Six free spins are awarded, and four Scatters add one starting Wild while five Scatters add two. Each three Scatters collected during the round add one Wild and three extra spins.
Spins at the A$1 paytable bet let you see how the Wild Respin and the Free Spins play out before you raise the stake. Reading the paytable first shows what each symbol pays, so the stake you choose is an informed one.
Results on the Wildies reels swing widely from spin to spin, which is what high volatility means. Each new Wild in the Wild Respin adds a multiplier, reaching x10 on the fifth Wild. How often a big swing lands cannot be known in advance.
