Whats not so hot?
The game art of the slot is high quality while the audio track bumps things up a notch or two. Symbols playoff against the backdrop of a Mexican City.
The high-value symbols on the reels are the Raccoon, Senorita, Bags of Gold, Guitar, hat, and fan. The bonus symbol is the beautiful black horse, you need a bunch of them to trigger the free spins.
Then there’s the Heart Sticky Wild that increases your winning potential in the free spins.
Wild Heart is a powerful little slot with a truckload of features. It even has a feature buy option where Americans can buy their free spins outright. Without further ado let’s check out the slot’s bonus rounds.
The bonus round triggers after a cycle of 10 spins. When the Special Heart symbol appears on a symbol it frames it within a golden frame.
The framed cells will then act as sticky wilds for 10 spins. Furthermore, they substitute symbols adjacent to them for extra winning combinations.
When the Special Heart symbol lands on a cell with a golden line it increases the multiplier value by 1+.
They apply in both the free spins and during the 10-cycle spins. When a new 10 spin cycle starts the multiplier’s value returns to 1.
You’ll launch 10 free spins when 3 scatters pitch on the reels. The Special Heart symbol acts as a sticky wild. It sticks to the reels until the free spins feature ends.
Lost patience waiting for those three scatters to pitch? Don’t sweat it because you can buy 10 free spins for a price. It costs 100x the stake for 0 sticky wilds.
Play with 4 sticky wilds and the price is 150x your stake. Playing with a maximum of 9 sticky wilds costs a hefty 400x your stake. So, if your average stake is 20 cents, 9 sticky wilds will cost you $80.
The number of special features and the 10-cycle spins that award a bonus. The sticky wilds also inject it with a lot of oomph. The hit frequency is a bit of a bother though.
When we played the free slots there were times when we did not win anything for 14 spins. That’s quite hectic, especially for small-budget players.
Play the slot in demo mode with free credits. You can do it at the online casinos that hosts the slot, or at the website of BGaming.
We played the slot for the minimum wager of 20 cents per spin. We triggered the buy option with no sticky wilds which cost us $10.
With 10 free spins, we won $7.50 yet lost $2.50. That’s acceptable yet it proves once again how volatile the buy option can be.
Wild Heart is a cracking slot from BGaming which is fast becoming one of our favorite studios. The number of special features the slot has makes it a cash cow.
The jackpot of 2,820x is big, and the RTP of 96.90% is just right. A concern is that hit frequency offers a winner on roughly every 7 spins. That already raises a red flag.
So, if you want to win money playing this slot, your budget must have the legs to go the distance. We have reason to believe that the average free spins trigger is 1 in 150. The sticky wilds in the free spins have the potential to pay big.
High rollers can spend 400x the stake for 10 free spins with 9 sticky wilds. That’s $16,000 if you play the slot at the maximum wager per spin.
Risky? Yes, but if you’re lucky the jackpot of $250,000 could be yours.
Betsoft’s Rockstar Wild Hold & Win offers three jackpots of up to $51,948. Americans can win any of the jackpots during the Hold & Win feature.
