Wild Hike Slot Review

The Wild Hike slot game presents a serene camping scene, complete with a crackling campfire. The 6x4 grid is populated by a selection of woodland creatures, including owls, deer, boar, bears, and wolves. While the theme is familiar, the execution offers decent visuals and authentic animal sounds, creating an immersive experience for Pakistani players.

The bonus round elevates the gameplay, moving the transparent grid above the treetops to a starry night sky. The main attraction is the expanding wilds respin feature, which includes increasing wild multipliers that persist as long as winning streaks continue. These multipliers are saved between respin rounds within the bonus feature, offering the potential for substantial payouts of up to 20,000 times your stake.

Wild Hike Slot Features Explained

Premium animal symbols award between 1.8 and 10 times your stake for landing six of a kind. The howling wolf symbol acts as a wild and can appear on the four middle reels. Wilds substitute for pay symbols to help form winning combinations. When a wild lands on reels 3 or 4, it expands to cover the entire reel, triggering a respin. During this respin, the expanded wild or wilds become sticky.

These expanding wilds are accompanied by multipliers that increase by +1 with each subsequent respin. The respins continue indefinitely as long as you maintain winning combinations. Scatters also remain sticky during respins. If multiple expanded wilds are part of the same win, their multipliers are combined. In the base game, all effects reset once the respins conclude.

Bonus Round and Free Spins

To trigger the Bonus Round, you need to land 3 or 4 scatters on the reels. This awards either 7 or 10 free spins, respectively. Any multipliers generated by the expanding wild respins feature are saved above reels 3 and 4 and remain active until the end of the bonus round. Landing an additional scatter during the feature grants an extra spin. If the bonus round is triggered during a respin round, any existing multipliers are carried over.

For players outside the UK, or those eligible, the Bonus Buy menu offers direct access to the bonus round. Purchasing the regular bonus round for 75 times your stake grants 7 free spins. Alternatively, you can pay 150 times your stake for a bonus round that guarantees a win involving a double expanding wild. The Return to Player (RTP) rate increases to 96.54% when purchasing the standard bonus round.

Our Wild Hike Slot Experience

During our 200 spins experience, we encountered the expanding wild respins feature in the base game before purchasing the bonus round. We received the minimum of 7 free spins. The multipliers from the expanding wild respins can build significantly, especially within the bonus round where they do not reset. This feature is key to achieving the game's maximum potential payout of 20,000x your stake.

However, it is important to note that Wild Hike is a volatile release, which may not appeal to all players. While the game offers a solid experience with its engaging expanding wild feature and potential for large wins, it may feel less spectacular compared to other offerings from Relax Gaming. For those who appreciate a well-executed nature theme with the chance for impressive multipliers, Wild Hike provides a decent, albeit sometimes understated, gaming session.
