Ballin’ slot
Ballin’ is a Blueprint Gaming slot released in December 2022, with five reels set out in a 3-4-4-4-3 shape and four big cats as its premium symbols. Its defining feature is the multiplying wild, worth up to x3, and both free spins rounds are built on it: one makes those wilds sticky, while the other brings Super Star Wilds that turn their own position and everything above it into multiplying wilds.

How Ballin’ plays
Every spin lands on the same frame: three positions on the outer reels and four on each of the middle three. The royals A, K, Q and J sit at the bottom of the paytable, a gold watch and a gold ring pay more, and the four big cats form the premium group, with one of them at the head of the paytable. All of these symbols pay from three of a kind upwards. The wild stands in for the regular symbols, and in Ballin’ it can do more than complete a win: each wild can carry a multiplier of up to x3. That happens in the base game already, before either bonus round has started.
The multiplying wilds
Every feature in Ballin’ involves the multiplying wild in some way. A wild boosts the win it helps to form by its multiplier, and x3 is the highest value a single wild can hold. As a worked example, a 40p win completed with the help of one x3 wild pays £1.20. Multiplying wilds land in both bonus rounds as well, and each of those rounds changes how they behave: one keeps them in place, the other adds a second kind of wild that creates more of them.
Free spins with sticky wilds
In the first of the two bonus rounds, the multiplying wilds stop disappearing between spins. Every wild that lands during these free spins becomes sticky and keeps its place until the round is over, carrying its multiplier with it. As a worked example, an x2 wild that lands on an early free spin is still on the reels, still worth x2, on every spin that follows until the round ends.
Free spins with Super Star Wilds
The second bonus round brings Super Star Wilds. When one lands in view, it turns its own position and every position above it on that reel into multiplying wilds. A reel filled from top to bottom with wilds awards two extra spins, and in this round wilds already in view can be upgraded to x3, the top wild multiplier. As a worked example of that upgrade, an x2 wild already on the reels can finish the spin as an x3 wild.
Ballin’ compared with Wild Cats Multiline
Big cats lead both games, but they live in different worlds. Wild Cats Multiline came first, in July 2019, and puts a lion wild on a sun-soaked savannah, while Ballin’ moves its cats to city boulevards and marinas. The grids differ too: Ballin’ keeps a fixed 3-4-4-4-3 shape on five reels, whereas Wild Cats Multiline spins six reels of up to seven rows, with 4 to 49 paylines. Their wilds have different jobs. In Ballin’ they carry multipliers and can stick during free spins; in the Royal Spins of Wild Cats Multiline, each Wild Lion removes a random symbol from the reels.
| Game | Released | Grid | Wilds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ballin’ | December 2022 | 5 reels, 3-4-4-4-3 | Multipliers up to x3; sticky wilds in the first free spins round, Super Star Wilds in the second |
| Wild Cats Multiline | July 2019 | 6 reels of up to 7 rows, 4 to 49 paylines | A lion wild; in Royal Spins each Wild Lion removes a random symbol |

Frequently asked questions
What is the Ballin’ slot about?
It is Blueprint Gaming’s take on a luxury lifestyle, told through big cats. The studio set the game against sun-soaked boulevards and exclusive marinas, cast cool, confident cats as the premium symbols and placed big watches and jewellery beside them. On the paytable, a gold watch and a gold ring sit between the cats and the royals.
How high can a wild multiplier go in Ballin’?
No higher than x3. That ceiling applies to every multiplying wild, whether it lands in the base game or in one of the free spins rounds. In the Super Star Wilds round, a wild that is already on the reels can also be lifted to that level, because wilds in view can be upgraded to x3 there.
What is the difference between the two free spins rounds in Ballin’?
Both rounds are built on the multiplying wilds, but they use them in different ways. The first holds on to every wild that lands until the round ends. The second adds Super Star Wilds, which turn the positions above them into multiplying wilds, and it gives two extra spins whenever a whole reel fills with wilds.
