THE WILDOS
The Wildos online slot produced by Thunderkick comes with a default 96.15% RTP and a 5-reel, 3-row playing area featuring 15 pay lines.
The three brothers, Red, Green, and Blue, more widely known as The Wildos, were a true menace of the Old West. No bank was safe when they caught wind of a fresh cash transport. Not only were they a versatile trio, but also a stealthy one, capable of blowing buildings to pieces, shooting their way through, or sneaking in under cover of the night only to disappear without a trace after a successful robbery. Numerous establishments introduced all kinds of precautions, from reinforced grates to experienced guards to protect the valuables, every time in vain.
One clever sheriff designed an elaborate ruse to capture the elusive siblings. He created a story about legendary treasures transported from Northern Canada and spread it across the country. A special fake warehouse was raised in one of the small towns not to draw attention. Yet, he knew The Wildos would discover it. On the night of the robbery, they broke into the building only to find it empty. All valuables were already gone through an inconspicuous tunnel prepared beforehand, and the brothers got captured. What was even more ironic, it happened on their birthday.

How To Win On The Wildos Slot - Features & Mechanics
A cartoony steel frame contains a 5x3 grid with 15 pay lines running across. Base wins must comprise at least 3 matching characters situated on any of them in succession from the leftmost reel. Players can stake from 0.10 to 100 EUR or equivalent in other currencies per spin in an attempt to reach the maximum win of 6,250 times the bet. The paytable offers 3 groups of symbols: lows awarding 0.2 to 3x, mids paying 0.5 to 7x, and highs dishing out 4 to 50 times the bet. The math profile comes with high volatility, suggesting that hits might be relatively rare but valuable on average.
Multiplier Wilds
As usual, Wilds substitute for all paying symbols, barring Scatters. They appear only on reels 2, 3, and 4, carrying multiplier values from x1 to x5. Any win including Wild will be boosted by its worth, and if there are several instances present, their values will be multiplied. For example, a hit with x3 and x5 gains an increase of x15.
The Wildos Bonus Game
Landing 3 Scatters anywhere on the reels will trigger 8 free spins. Any Multiplier Wilds dropping in view will become sticky and hold their positions for the remainder of the bonus round. Every instance reveals a random multiplier value on every winning spin. Additionally, filling any of the 3 middle reels entirely with Multiplier Wilds grants 3 extra spins.
Instant access to the bonus round is available for a price of 100 times the active stake.
The Wildos On Mobile
The slot rides on the latest HTML5 technology and is mobile-ready for all devices, whether smartphones or tablets. You may enjoy the atmosphere of this wacky Old West from any place you wish in both landscape and portrait modes. The former is traditionally modeled after the desktop view, which suits the slot's structure slightly better. In the vertical orientation, the reels occupy the top half of the viewport, leaving plenty of room for the background and UI at the bottom.
Final Thoughts
The Wildos slot looks like an orthodox production from the Thunderkick assembly line. All the right parts are there, working together in unison, but nothing truly stands out to grasp players' attention and boost the stickiness factor. Sure, the theme may come across as pleasant and humorous, but how many times can we stand on that same dusty main street in the middle of a town somewhere in the Wild West? Yet, here we are again, right between the jail and the bank, watching the three mysterious criminals plan their escape and the next heist. And since when does the bank hold bags full of money right outside the front door, which looks like a saloon entrance? Anyway, despite those quirky details, we can only express positively about the design and the audiovisual bundle in general. Even though most of the symbols and the background may not be too ingenious, at least the characters carry a unique, enigmatic vibe, and the entire setting is easy on the eyes.
Gameplay-wise, the slot is even less ambitious. The only attraction of the base game are Multiplier Wilds landing within 3 middle reels, while the sole change in the free spins is making them sticky and awarding extra spins for filling up the column. It's a safe bet that there are at least a few dozen of nearly identical mechanisms out there. Hence, despite looking decent and bringing a group of likable characters, The Wildos is one of many iterations of the same stale mechanics. But, for those who enjoy the Dead or Alive II style with a significantly milder math model in a more cartoony scenery, it might be a worthy proposition.
