Design and Theme
🖼️ Graphics
Wanted Wildz is styled after the Wild West: wooden buildings along the street, sandy dust, and warm sunset tones. In the base game the visuals look calm, but the multiplier ladder always hangs on the side — a reminder that everything can change instantly.
In the bonus rounds the visuals get much brighter: wilds ignite with flames and are highlighted with large multipliers, creating the effect of a real shootout. The overall presentation is more comic-like than realistic — intentionally exaggerated.
🎶 Sound
Wanted Wildz sounds exactly like it looks — a stylised western. In the background you hear calm music with guitar riffs and light percussion, as if sitting at the entrance to a saloon. During spins the audio palette is almost neutral, but when a win hits, accents kick in — coin chimes, clicks, and sharp bursts emphasising the lit-up wilds.

Special Symbols
- Scatter (Wanted poster): triggers the bonus game and upgrades the levels within the bonus.
- Wild (cowboy skull): substitutes for all regular symbols and pays x50 for 5 symbols. Can appear with multipliers (x2, x5, x25 or x100). In the bonus, these wilds remain fixed until the end of the round.
Bonus Game
To understand how to play Wanted Wildz in the bonus mode, you need to consider the mechanics of sticky wilds and the multiplier ladder.
- Trigger: 3 or more scatters activate a series of free spins.
- Start: The player receives 5 free spins at the x2 level.
- Multiplier progression: To reach x5, you need to collect 2 scatters; to reach x25, another 4 scatters; and to reach x100, another 6 scatters.
- Additional spins: Each time you advance to a new level, +5 free spins are added. In addition, landing 3 scatters at once at any moment during the bonus awards another +5 spins.
- Sticky wilds: all wilds that land in the bonus remain fixed until the end of the round and work with the current multiplier.
RTP, Volatility, Max Win
RTP — 96.05%. Volatility is high. The maximum win is capped at x15,000 of the stake.
Our Verdict
In the base game, Wanted Wildz delivers wins roughly every 5–7 spins. These are usually small payouts that don’t really support the balance, but occasionally a combination lands across several lines at once, and the screen livens up a bit — you can feel the slot has some potential in reserve.
The bonus took longer to trigger than we would have liked, but once inside, everything works differently: wilds stick, the multiplier ladder moves, and the tension builds from spin to spin. In our case, we managed to reach the x25 level, the round lasted quite a while, and the final win was x120 of the stake — not a record, but it still left the feeling that “it could hit much harder.”
If you enjoy this kind of progression-driven bonus dynamic, Club Tropicana is worth a look — the levels there also flow one into another. And for the same logic in a fishing-themed wrapper, the classic Big Bass Bonanza is the natural option.
