Wild Heart (BGaming) Slot Demo & Review

Love is in the air as we head into our next review. They say that it comes in many forms and you can’t choose who you fall for, but BGaming’s interpretation of the butterfly-inducing emotion is undoubtedly on the stranger side, based on my first impression. Along with the conventional romantic-red love heart symbols and roses, they’ve included wild horses, musketeer-inspired raccoons, and oriental-looking cats in their graphical theme. I know relationships can be complex, but even Jerry Springer would be stumped by this setup. There’s a lot to unpack here, so let’s get stuck in and see if we can get to the bottom of this strange love triangle. The game is titled Wild Heart, and it’s a medium volatility, five-reel, four-row game with an RTP of 96.92% and a potential maximum win of 2,820x.

The setting for this romantic drama is a 5×4 grid that features 20 fixed paylines. The standard base gameplay is pretty vanilla, requiring symbols to be matched in traditional style across the reels from left to right. However, in an attempt to spice things up, several game-enhancing additions have been introduced. One of those is the Wild Frames feature, where any love heart symbols that land on the grid will have a frame drawn around their location. This persists for a ten-spin cycle, at the end of which all these positions will transform into wilds. Another feature is the free spins round, where all wild symbols that land become sticky, remaining in place for the duration of the bonus.

Maintaining a relationship can be an expensive business. You’re expected to fork out for date nights, random romantic gestures, birthdays, Valentine’s Day; the list goes on. That sort of financial outlay can leave little left over for a session on the slots. Don’t worry, though; you can still enjoy some action courtesy of our Wild Heart demo slot, which is completely free to play below!

Wild Heart Slot Paytable

Love is a funny thing; it’s something that most people can’t live without, but it also comes with many complications and real heartache if it all goes wrong. Fortunately, we can always console ourselves by playing some high-quality slots if we’re down in the dumps, and there are plenty in the love category. For instance, Moon Princess Power of Love from provider Play n Go. It’s a high volatility slot with a maximum win of 15,000x, which features a multiplier that can rise as high as x100. Or, if you want to experience the darker side of love, you could try out the Immortal Romance slot demo here on our site, which has varying levels of bonus volatility to choose from and a banging soundtrack, too. Next, though, before you get all mushy and lovey-dovey over our recommendations, we’ll move on to the paytable, where we’ll begin analysing the features of Wild Heart in further detail.

The top symbols featured on Wild Heart are the Raccoon Musketeer and the Wild symbol, which will both return 10x the total stake for each line of five. Next, it’s the Ukelele and Oriental Cat, paying 3.75x, followed by the Money Bag, Rose, Hat, and Fan, all worth 3x. The non-premiums featured are the A, K, Q, J, and 10, all of which will pay 1.5x per line of five.

There are 18 different stakes to play at, ranging from a low of €0.20 to a high of €80.00. The large number of options available between these extremes will ensure that all players can find a suitable bet size to play.


Wild Heart Slot Base Game & Modifiers

Wild Heart Slot Base Game
Wild Heart slot base game

Wild Heart uses a five-reel grid with four row positions each and 20 fixed paylines. All winning combinations are achieved by matching at least three corresponding symbols from left to right, commencing on the leftmost reel along any of these paylines. The exception is the two top symbols, the musketeer raccoon and the wild, which will provide a return for just two symbols.


Wild Frames

At the first spin of the sequence, all grid positions will be unframed. From then on, any heart symbols that land on the grid during the next ten spins will have a frame placed around the grid position they landed in. At the end of the tenth spin, all framed positions will turn wild, and the reels will spin, hopefully matching a win. If a heart symbol lands within the same grid position more than once, it will add to a multiplier value displayed above the reels, and on the wild activation spin, this total accumulated multiplier value will be applied to the total value of any wins on the tenth spin.

Wild Heart Slot Review Final Thoughts

I haven’t played a huge number of BGaming slots until recently, but a few, such as Aztec Clusters, have popped up on my review list this week, and I’ve really enjoyed them. The theme of Wild Heart is a bit of a mishmash of various references, but that aside, the gameplay is great fun. The Wild Frames feature keeps you interested in the base game as you watch the framed positions build, safe in the knowledge that once you reach the tenth spin, they are all guaranteed to turn wild. The bonus game is also entertaining, and if you can get a lot of wilds in place early and some wild lines on the go, it can pay well. The maximum win is slightly low for me, but I guess it is high enough for a slot of this type.
