Base Game
Born Wild comes to life on a 5x4 grid and 26unique paylines. The game’s objective is to get
similar symbols or wilds on predefined bet lines. Symbols payout is per the paytable values. The
game aggregates payouts together and displays the total win on the ‘Win Fied’ if there are
numerous wins in the same round.
Different sounds by various animals represent the low-value symbols. Howl, Claw, Hisss, Grrr,
and Roar pay 1X if five appear on a winning line. The mid-value symbols include a wolf, gorilla,
rhino, and tiger, which pay between 10X and 15X if 5 of them complete a winning formation.
The game showcases different wins in the winning presentation. Only the highest win per
winning line qualifies for a payout.
The wild is the high-paying symbol that pays 25X for 5 on a bet line. It is represented by the lion
that can replace other standard symbols except the scatters.
In-Game Features
The Lion’s Roar feature activates when you hit at least 3 lion roar symbols in the base game. It
rewards a player with successive re-spinning rounds until no more lion roar symbols are on
reels. If you are lucky to fill the entire grid with lion roar symbols, you instantly trigger the
coveted payout of 2,500X original bet.
Unfortunately, if you cannot hit the maximum payout, you get 3 payout spins, and the landed
sticky lions transform to wilds.
Bonus
You trigger the bonus spins round if you land three or more scatter symbols. Three scatters
trigger a round of 10 bonus spins. In this round, wild symbols are sticky and will do so for the
entire round. Subsequent wilds landing during the round also become sticky. Free spins
continue to play until no more respin is left.
The gamers offer an instant buy-bonus feature instead of going through the conventional way of
triggering special features.
Summary
Hacksaw has carved a niche with its wide range of theme-fitting slots. Born Wild is another
masterpiece from their designers set to hit virtual casino floors from July 2022. With its two
special features, Lion’s Roar and Free Spins, the game promises fun-full respins every time the
lion land on the reels. The game’s ultimate excitement is the maximum payout of 2,500 times
the initial bet when you fill the grid with roar symbols. Volatility is rated at 2 out of 5, implying low
to medium.
