Many bingo players miss out on better rooms, smarter bonuses, and a more enjoyable experience, simply because they don’t know where to look. I’m here to change that.

I’ve worked in the online gambling industry for over 17 years, including time with leading brands like Gala Bingo and Ladbrokes Coral. I’ve seen how offers are structured, how platforms differ, and how players can get much more value when they know what to look for.

Since joining OLBG in 2014, I’ve helped shape our bingo and slots content, writing reviews, highlighting hidden gems, and helping players avoid the common traps. As a passionate player myself, I always look at sites from the player’s perspective, not just the brand’s.

I’m not here to push promotions, I’m here to help you find the right room, the right offer, and the right place to play for you.

If you’re reading this Wildest Gambit slot review, the chances are high that you’re a slots fan? And if so, you're probably familiar with the adventurous Wilde family. Over the years, they’ve starred in several slot games, each chronicling their escapades around the globe. In the Wildest Gambit slot, Gerard Wilde, who is the black sheep of the family has brought along more members of the Wilde family.

Gerard's daughter Cat Wilde and the devilishly handsome Rich Wilde are along for the ride, and let’s just say this family aren't afraid of collecting a few Air Miles as they take part in exotic adventures around the globe. 

Launching the game, you’re shown a cool, comic book-style sepia video that sets the stage for the latest family quest. In the opening scene, you see Rich and Cat dangling below the plane on a rope.

 A cool feature in the Wildest Gambit is that you can choose locations by pressing the globe icon at the top of the screen. You can journey to Chile, Peru, and India. You can also unlock a 4th destination, Egypt, by triggering the Free Spins in all of the other locations. 

When you toggle between places, the imagery, music, and sound effects change to match the location, fully immersing you.

On the reels, you can see various adventurer-themed items the highest value symbol is the Scatter, landing 5 of these awards 125 x the bet. Here’s a rundown of all of the symbols: 

• Scatter: 3, 4 or 5 = 5.00, 25.00 or 125.00 x the bet and 3+ triggers the Free Spins
• Cat, Rich & Gerard Wilde:  2, 3, 4 or 5 = 0.50, 1.50, 7.50 and 100.00 x the bet
• Compass: 2, 3, 4 or 5 = 0.30, 1.00, 3.00 or 25.00 x the bet
• Backpack: 2, 3, 4 or 5 = 0.30, 1.00, 2.50 or 10.00 x the bet
• Book:  2, 3, 4 or 5 = 0.30, 1.00, 2.00 or 7.50 x the bet
• A & K: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.50, 1.00 or 3.00 x the bet
• Q, J & 10: 3, 4 or  5 = 0.30, 0.60 or 2.00 x the bet
• Wild: substitutes for all symbols apart from the scatter
  
  

Wildest Gambit Mobile

The Wildest Gambit mobile slot is powered by advanced HTML5 technology, delivering a top-tier gaming experience on both Android and iOS devices. It's fully optimised for play on tablets and desktops as well.

As previously mentioned, you can switch between different locations, with each destination offering a unique lead feature and support feature, which I'll detail below. There are 3 bonus features in total, including various wilds options and a Free Spins bonus round.

Locations

• Peru: Cat manages the lead feature with expanding wilds. The support feature involves an upgrade from Gerard with a chance to make wilds sticky with a respin. Any new wilds on a respin expand and become sticky, and then extra respins are awarded to you.
• Chili: Rich Wilde leads with a multiplier wild feature, which has values between 2x and 8x. Cat offers the support feature, an upgrade with a chance to expand the wilds if triggered.
• India: Gerard leads this time with a sticky wild feature and Rich is the support feature where he upgrades with a chance to apply multipliers to the sticky wilds if triggered. Here, sticky wilds trigger respins.
• Egypt: Once you have triggered the free spins rounds in each of the 3 locations above, you unlock the mysterious Egypt. Rich leads here with a multiplier wild feature. And Cat manages the supporting feature, which is an expansion feature.

Free Spins

The scatter is depicted by the Phylactery of Ra symbol. Landing 3 or more scatters triggers the free spins bonus round, where you receive 8 free spins. Landing 3, 4, or 5 scatters also awards a win of 5x, 25x, or 125x the bet, respectively. 

A special expanding symbol is randomly chosen for each round for a chance to win more free spins. It expands to cover the reel and is combined with the wild features.

Extra free spins can be awarded by retriggering the feature with the same 3 or more scatters. Triggering free spins in Chile, Peru, and India charges the Phylactery of Ra and unlocks the final destination of Egypt.

Wilds

Wilds appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 only and they substitute for all symbols apart from scatters.

• Multiplier Wilds: Wilds may bring 2x, 4x or 8x multipliers when part of a win.
• Expanding Wilds: When this wild lands it expands vertically to fill the entire reel, transforming all positions on that reel into wilds.
• Sticky Wilds: When this wild lands, it will become sticky and grants at least 1 respin. Should additional sticky wilds land during a respin, they too become sticky and additional respins are awarded.

Whenever I play adventurer-themed slots, I can’t help but think of the Indiana Jones films I loved as a kid. Will I ever shake the urge to run and roll under every rapidly closing door I pass? The strong storyline of Wildest Gambit, featuring the fearless Wilde family, really draws you in, making it an immersive experience.

The Wilde family’s adventures revolve around the legendary Book of Dead, which has been in their family for generations. One of the first slot games in this entire series is named after the Book of Dead, which features the charismatic Rich Wilde. This game set the ball rolling for a whole range of slot games, and it kicked off an entire range of 'Book of' slot games.  In fact, we’ve compiled a popular OLBG guide to the Top 10 ‘Book of’ Slot Games which is a great read for fans.

Cat Wilde has starred in many of her own games too, including Cat Wilde and the Doom of Dead, Cat Wilde and the Pyramids of Dead and Cat Wilde and the Incan Quest. Uncle Gerard has featured in a couple of releases too but Wildest Gambit is the first to feature all 3 family members. For more details about the Wilde family and the slot games they appear in, check out OLBG's guide to the Wilde slot series. 

During gameplay, it was entertaining to press the globe and toggle between Chile, Peru, and India, where each location has its distinct vibe. I particularly enjoyed the laid-back Chilean music.

The game ticks the box for RTP at 96% and a decent max win of 20,000x the bet. If you enjoy wild features you’ll enjoy Wildest Gambit as it’s stuffed with them in all shapes and sizes. I liked the way it was packaged with the locations and leading and supporting features, although when you get into the details, it was a bit flat. A bit more variety in features would have really spiced things up. After all, isn’t variety the spice of life? The Wildest Gambit scores a 4.3 out of 5.

I’ve been working in the online gambling industry for over 20 years and seen it all! I’ve reviewed more than 10,000 slot games along the way. I’ve worked with casino operators, software providers, and affiliates.

Slots can be fun, but they can also be confusing.
With so many games out there, it’s easy to end up with poor RTPs, outdated mechanics, or bonus rounds that don’t deliver. That’s why I focus on reviewing games honestly, breaking down what actually matters, and helping players find the right slot for their style.

I don’t promote hype, just the best sites to play your favourite games.
I guide players to the sites that are worth their time, whether you love big volatility or strong bonus features.

My goal is simple: make sure you don’t waste time or money on second-rate slots.
