Wildest Gambit (Play'n Go) Slot Demo & Review

Play’n Go has certainly milked what they can get from the early success of the Riche Wilde slots, such as Book of Dead and Legacy of Dead, with Cat Wilde joining in the fun with slots of her own, including Cat Wilde and the Incan Quest and Cat Wilde and the Lost Chapter. Gerard Wilde is the latest of the family to embark on dangerous yet potentially lucrative adventures, first appearing in Gerard’s Gambit. 

Wildest Gambit is the first where all three play their part, but before we get into each of their roles, let’s check out what this slot’s paytable offers. The Scatter offers the best return, with a top payout of 125x the stake when it lands five times in any position. Each symbol of the three Wilde characters shares a 100x the stake reward when five line up along a payline, while the Compass, Rucksack, and Regular Wild pay up to 25x, 10x, and 7.5x, respectively. As for the low pays, the Ace and King return up to 3x, and the Queen, Jack, and Ten are worth a maximum of 2x. 

Selecting your wager is performed using the + and – to scroll through the available stakes supported. You can opt for stakes ranging from €0.10 per spin up to €100.00.

At the core of the Wildest Gambit slot is a 5×3 reel format that contains 10-fixed paylines. You’re rewarded with payouts whenever two or more matching high-value symbols or three or more matching playing cards line up across a payline. Combinations must start from the leftmost reel and move to the right along a payline.

Wild Symbols

Wild symbols can appear on the three middle reels on any spin, and depending on the location (more on this shortly), those wilds will have different powers:

• Multiplier Wilds: These can land holding a multiplier value of 2x, 4x, or 8x, which will apply to the payouts of any symbol combinations the wilds helped to create. 
• Expanding Wilds: These will expand to fill their reel. 
• Sticky Wilds: When these land, they remain sticky on the reels while all other positions are given a re-spin.

Theme Locations

Above the reels to the right, there is a Globe button that players can use to change the current location they’re playing in. You can switch between three locations at any time between spins, and each will have its own features. The fourth location (Egypt) only becomes an option once the free spins bonus has been triggered in each of the other locations. 

• Chile: If you choose this location, the main feature is the Multiplier Wilds, which can hold 2x, 4x, or 8x values. Triggered randomly, these can expand to fill the reels. 

• Peru: Here, wilds that land will expand to fill their reels, while randomly, they can become sticky for a free re-spin. Should more wilds land, they also expand and become sticky for another re-spin.  

• India: This location has Sticky Wilds as the main feature, meaning the reels re-spin each time one lands. Furthermore, a random multiplier may also be applied to the wild symbols. 

• Egypt (once unlocked): Should you trigger the free spins bonus in each of the three locations above, Egypt becomes available. Here, all three main features of the above locations can trigger.

Landing three or more scatter symbols anywhere in view triggers 8 free spins. You’ll also receive a payout of 5x, 25x, or 125x the stake for landing 3, 4, or 5, respectively. 

Free Spins Feature

Before the free spins start, one regular-paying symbol is randomly chosen to become a special expanding symbol. When it lands, it expands to fill its reel and pays in any position. The wild features that can trigger during the free spins are dependent on which location the free spins bonus was triggered from.
