Wildies slot review
Wildies is a Pragmatic Play slot released in 2024. It plays on five reels and four rows with 25 fixed paylines, and its main mechanic is the Wild Respins feature, where every wild that lands locks in place and the wilds after the first carry rising multipliers. The maximum win is 7,500x stake.

How Wildies plays
The reels sit in a bakery window full of cakes, jellies, coffee and candy canes, with A, K, Q and J as the lower symbols. Wins pay left to right on 25 lines. Wilds can drop in as pairs, vertically or horizontally, and they stand in for every symbol except the scatter.
Any wild in the base game starts the Wild Respins feature:
- The wild locks in place and the other positions respin.
- Each new wild also locks and gives another respin.
- The second wild carries 2x, the third 3x, the fourth 5x and the fifth 10x.
- Multipliers on wilds in the same win are added together, and the sequence stops after the fifth wild.
That sets Wildies apart from Pragmatic Play’s tumbling sweet-themed slots such as Sweet Bonanza: it pays on 25 fixed lines, and the respins are driven by locked wilds stacking up their multipliers, not by symbols dropping away.
Free spins with roaming wilds
Three, four or five scatters award 6 free spins. With three scatters the round starts with one wild; four scatters start it with two wilds and three scatters already on the meter, and five start it with three wilds and six on the meter.
In free spins the wilds stay for the whole round, but they move to a new random position on every spin. Scatters that land are collected, and every third one adds 3 more free spins and brings in another wild on the next spin. The multipliers follow the same order as the base game, 2x, 3x, 5x and 10x, so the fifth wild can carry 10x. Once five wilds are in play, no more wilds or extra spins are added.
