Gameplay & Features
The features and gameplay in Wild Falls 2 don't massively fork away from what was available in the original. An exception is growing reels, found alongside Chests, Rapid Re-spins, Gold Rush, River of Gold Free Spins, and Super River of Gold Free Spins.

Final Thoughts
Some say to get rich in a gold rush, sell shovels or the accessories which gold rushers might need. This strategy seemed to work for Levi Strauss, who apparently made his fortune in part by selling those famous blue jeans during the California Gold Rush. But hey, not everyone wants to shill denim when there's gold to be dredged out of the ground or the water, potentially. It's this gold fever that Wild Falls 2 neatly taps into, as did its predecessor when it was released in 2019. Since then, the online gambling world has progressed in a number of ways, but if one thing has remained constant, it's the love affair between players, developers and the gold mining theme, as evidenced by its continual use.
Both this one and the originalWild Fallscertainly put the theme to good use in a riot of blazing banjos, where the thrill of landing chests, or preferably gold chess, can lead to re-spins and/or free spins. What's changed is the way reels can grow, which brings with it several possible benefits. Now, Chests may have further to walk before they fall off the grid, potentially keeping a bonus round alive longer, and the way gold chest multipliers grow with each step up to x9 at the most. This means that where cumulative multipliers in part 1 could reach x125, they can now hit x729. As a result, Wild Falls 2's ride can get more interesting, and the max win has been stretched to15,000 times the stake.
In the end, Wild Falls 2 felt like a step up from its predecessor. It has a more refined look, and the studio has kept what worked before while expanding on it in several key ways; plus, there's a plumper cherry on top for lucky players to try and pan out of the river.
