Wild Bounty Slot Review

Wild Bounty Slot Overview

Wild Bounty is a pirate themed video slot from Stakelogic, developed together with Hurricane Games. I play on a 5x4 grid with 20 fixed paylines in the base game, while the bonus round expands things to 5x6 with 50 lines. Stakes start at 10p and go up to 100 per spin, with a headline win potential of 2,500x the bet and a high volatility maths model.

The slot leans heavily on feature action, which suits me when I want a busy session. At the centre sits the Bonus Wheel, feeding three fixed jackpots, a Link Bonus hold and win, and three tiers of free spins. A Super Stake button can be switched on between spins to double the stake and increase wheel frequency, while random pirate barrel features break up stretches of quieter base game play.

Wild Bounty Slot Information and Design

I like how Wild Bounty sets everything on a bright treasure island beach, with video game style visuals rather than dark realism. A wooden legged pirate stands beside the reels and reacts when his barrel features trigger, which gives the slot a light arcade feel. Above each reel sit three hollow slots for cannonballs, so the interface always keeps you focused on the meters and possible wild stacks.

Wild Bounty Symbols and Paytable

In Wild Bounty the pirate skull and bones wild symbol does double duty, substituting for regular pays and sharing the top prize with the treasure chest. Hitting five of either on a payline pays 20x the stake, dropping to 1.5x for four, 0.5x for three and 0.2x for two of a kind. Another premium symbol pays 13x for five of a kind, with the same lower steps.

The middle tier symbols sit at 2x for five, 1x for four and 0.5x for three, while the lower picture and card style symbols pay between 1.5x and 1x for five of a kind, then 0.5x or 0.3x for four and 0.2x or 0.1x for three. Scatter symbols do not pay directly but trigger the Bonus Wheel, and special money symbols appear during the Link Bonus feature.

How To Play Wild Bounty Slot

When I load Wild Bounty I first set my stake using the bet controls, anywhere from 0.10 to 100 per spin. Then I decide whether to activate Super Stake, which doubles the bet and improves the chance of hitting the Bonus Wheel. Wins land when three or more matching symbols hit left to right on one of the 20 paylines, or across 50 lines during the expanded free spins round.

Wild Bounty RTP, Volatility & Max Win

Wild Bounty runs on a 96.10% RTP when set to the highest configuration, which is decent for a feature rich video slot. The volatility is high, and in my sessions the balance can drift for a while between bigger hits. Small wins from regular five of a kind lines help, but the maths model clearly leans towards features, so I prefer to give it a sensible bankroll and some time.

The headline max win stands at 2,500x the bet, which comes from a mix of jackpots, stacked wild reels and Link Bonus chests rather than a single sky high prize. The Grand Jackpot in the wheel and Link Bonus is worth 1,000x on its own, while covering all five reels with wild stacks pays 400x. Big stretches of free spins with several wild reels can push totals even further.

Wild Bounty Slot Features and Super Stake

The Super Stake option in Wild Bounty can be toggled on or off between spins. With it active, your bet doubles but the Bonus Wheel seems to turn up far more often, which I find worth it at lower stakes. Above each reel sit three cannonball holes. When cannon symbols land, they fire up to three shots into the matching reel meter, and filling all three holes activates the Wild Stacks feature.

Once triggered, the relevant reel turns fully wild for the next three spins. Filling another meter while stacked wilds are active adds that reel and refreshes the spin counter, and in theory all five reels can go wild together for a 400x payout. The peg leg pirate can also hurl his barrel at random, awarding one of three extras: random wilds, random bombs that charge meters, or a Pick a Barrel bonus.

The Bonus Wheel appears when three, four or five scatter symbols land anywhere. It holds three fixed jackpots at 30x, 100x and 1,000x, several Link Bonus segments and free spins awards. The Link Bonus plays as a hold and win style round with three respins that reset when a money chest lands, and a full screen grants the 1,000x Grand. Free spins move to a 5x6 grid, carry over wild stacks and can reach up to 25 spins. During free spins the bomb meters and any stacked wild reels stick for the whole feature, and new stacks created there even carry back into the base game.

Wild Bounty Overview Summary

For me Wild Bounty sits in that category of feature packed pirate slots that can feel a bit busy but stay entertaining when I am in the mood. The base game spins take slightly longer due to all the meters and animations, yet the regular Wild Stacks triggers stop it turning into a slow grind. I treat the random pirate barrels as pleasant surprises rather than something to chase.

Across longer sessions I usually hit the Bonus Wheel a fair few times, often seeing the Link Bonus first and a free spins round later. The hold and win chests are fairly standard, so my favourite moments come when several stacked wild reels carry into the 5x6 free spins layout. If you enjoy volatile pirate themed slots with lots going on and do not mind the modest 2,500x cap, Wild Bounty is worth a spin.
