Wild Wildebeest Wins Slot (Pragmatic Play)

The Wild Wildebeest Wins slot has 6 reels, 4 rows and 4,096 ways to win. A winning combination is formed when 3 or more matching symbols appear from left to right, starting from reel 1 and across successive/adjacent reels in any position. With only 1 payout awarded per way to win, only the highest win is won. Wins involving the wildebeest symbol require 2 or more matching symbols though.

Bets-wise, you can play Wild Wildebeest Wins from just 20p per spin. With a maximum bet of £240 per spin, you will undoubtedly find the max bet restricted at most sites. Use the plus and minus buttons to change your bet accordingly. Outside the UK, you can speed up play with the Quick and Turbo Spin modes as well as opt for up to 1,000 auto spins with the Autoplay function.

The Wild Wildebeest Wins RTP rate is 96.51% which is a lot higher than the 96% slots average. Whilst not in OLBG’s highest RTP slots list, Pragmatic Play has produced 95.51% and 94.56% RTP alternative versions. Check the Paytable at your chosen slot site to see the return rate you’re playing with. The Wild Wildebeest Wins demo as well as all demo slots at OLBG use the highest RTP rate where available.

Very high volatility (5 out of 5), expect a winning combination to land every 4.63 spins as the hit frequency rate is 21.6%. Your chances of triggering the Free Spins feature are 1 in 132 spins on average.

In terms of win potential, Wild Wildebeest Wins comes with 10,000 times bet max wins. With the bigger wins coming in the free spins, the max win probability is 1 in 10,520,159 spins (10.5 million). Winning 1,000 times your total bet or higher will happen every 67,084 spins on average.

The Wild Wildebeest Wins slot game has an African safari theme and is set in the infamous grasslands. With various animals in the backdrop, the sun-kissed setting has been carefully crafted by Pragmatic Play and is a world away from what you’ll see in Microgaming/Games Global’s Mega Moolah (which was released in November 2006).  

The soundtrack is rather gentle with tribal drums providing the rhythmic beat to which the reels spin. On the reels, you’ll come across colourful A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 royals. The higher-value symbols are depicted by animals found in the African grasslands such as antelope, zebras, rhinos, elephants and wildebeests. The wildebeest symbol pays the most offering a 6.25 times bet payout for 6 in combination.

Wild Wildebeest Wins also comes with a Wild symbol that appears on reels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. It substitutes for all paying symbols above to help form winning combinations. There is a Super Wildebeest symbol that added a random number of Wildebeest symbols to random positions on the reels. Finally, there is a Drum Scatter symbol with 3 or more triggering the free spins. Below is a list of all symbol payouts and functions:

• 10/9: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.25, 0.375, 0.75 or 1.5 x bet
• Q/J: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.25, 0.635, 1.25 or 2 x bet
• A/K: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.375, 0.75, 1.5 or 2.5 x bet
• Zebra/Antelope: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.75, 1.5, 2.5 or 3.75 x bet
• Elephant/Rhino: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 1.25, 2.5, 3.75 or 5 x bet
• Wildebeest: 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.5, 2, 3.75, 5 or 6.25 x bet
• Wild: Appears on reels 2-6 & substitutes for all symbols above
• Super Wildebeest: A random number of Wildebeest symbols are randomly added to the reels
• Drum Scatter: 3+ triggers Free Spins feature

Wild Wildebeest Wins Mobile

As with all Pragmatic Play slots, Wild Wildebeest Wins was created using HTML5 technology. Automatically detecting what device you’rer playing with, it’s compatible with laptop, PC, smartphone and tablet devices. This means you’ll play in Portrait Mode if using an iOS or Android mobile device.

Wild Wildebeest Wins comes with 3 bonus features. In the base game, Super Wildebeest symbols add up to 15 high-value Wildebeest symbols onto the reels. In the Free Spins feature, unlimited free spins can be won. With wild multipliers up to 5x, Wildebeest symbols are collected in a meter (up to 15) which are added to the reels when a Super Wildebeest symbol lands.

Super Wildebeest

On the reels, you will notice a Super Wildebeest symbol which is similar to the standard Wildebeest symbol but with a silver frame around it. Whenever it lands during a base game spin, a random number of standard Wildebeest symbols are added to random positions on the reels. Being the highest-value symbol, big wins are possible.

Free Spins

Landing 3 or more Drum Scatter symbols will trigger the Free Spins feature. 3, 4, 5 or 6 Drum Scatters will result in 8, 12, 16 or 20 free spins respectively.

Look out for Wild symbols as these contain 2x, 3x or even 5x multipliers. These multipliers apply to all winning combinations they are part of. If multiple Wild Multipliers are part of a winning combination, the multipliers multiply each other. This means a 5x Wild Multiplier on reels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 will lead to a 3,125x multiplier for example.

Now, when Wildebeest symbols land during the feature, they are collected in a meter above the reels. When the Super Wildebeest symbol lands, the number of Wildebeest symbols collected in the meter are randomly added to the reels. Up to 15 Wildebeest symbols can be collected in total meaning up to 15 Wildebeest symbols can be randomly distributed on the reels on each free spin.

Furthermore, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 Drum Scatter symbols will result in 5, 8, 12, 16, or 20 extra free spins being awarded. There are no limits to the number of free spins you can play with.

Finally, there is a Buy Free Spins feature for non-UK players. This allows you to buy your way into the Free Spins feature for 50 times your total bet. If you exercise this option, you will be randomly awarded 3, 4, 5 or 6 Drum Scatters. When playing with the highest RTP setting, the Buy Free Spins comes with a 96.46% RTP rate.

The Wild Wildebeest Wins slot is a typical safari-themed game with looks like Microgaming’s Mega Moolah. With better graphics and animations than the progressive jackpot favourite, the gameplay is pretty ordinary.

In the base game, look out for the Super Wildebeest symbol as they will randomly add up to 15 high-value Wildebeest symbols onto the reels. However, the biggest win potential comes in the Free Spins feature where you can begin with up to 20 free spins.

With unlimited additional free spins to be won, Wildebeest symbols are collected and then added back onto the reels when the Super Wildebeest symbol lands. That said, all wild symbols come with random multipliers up to 5x. This is where the big win potential comes from.

With 10,000 times bet max wins, Wild Wildebeest Wins isn’t entirely original as it draws inspiration from Light & Wonder’s Raging Rhino and Playtech’s Buffalo Blitz. They offer 6,250 and 13,373 times bet max wins respectively.

Overall, the Wild Wildebeest Wins slot offers nothing original or ground-breaking in a genre that has been done to death. I recommend playing King of Cats Megaways by Big Time Gaming which offers a Playerselect mechanic with 2 game modes (Lion and Puma) and 55,620 times bet max wins. Fan of Pragmatic Play? African Elephant offers 15,000 times bet max wins.
