Symbols and Their Pay Values
Regular Symbols:
Wild Heart features several symbols that align with its vibrant Mexican theme. The playing card values like the A, K, Q, J and 10 are the lower paying symbols with a Mexican Font. The high paying symbols are a variety of Mexican themed items like tequila bottles, piñatas and maracs. All symbols lead to payouts that are both rewarding and fun when they align with one of the active paylines.
Special Symbols:
The Scatter Symbol is represented by a by a vibrant heart. If 3 scatters show on 1, 3 and 5 reels, the free spins round triggers which gives you 10 free spins.
The Wild Symbol is represented by a fiery heart and acts like a substitute for all symbols. Unfortunately, it cannot substitute for the Scatter Symbols, but helps complete winning combinations and adds extra flair to the gameplay.
Wild Frames Feature – Heart-Framed Excitement
The Wild Frames feature is the star of the show, keeping the action flowing throughout the base game. This feature activates when the heart symbol lands on a reel during the base game. The cell that the heart lands on gets framed with golden lines, marking it for a cycle of 10 spins. After this cycle, the framed cells turn into Wild symbols, helping complete more winning combinations. The golden frames stay sticky for the entire cycle, making every spin more thrilling.
Extra Multiplier – Watch Your Wins Multiply!
Another exciting aspect of Wild Heart is the Extra Multiplier. If the heart symbol lands on a cell already framed with golden lines, it increases the spin multiplier by 1. This multiplier applies to each win, both during the base game and Free Spins. Once the 10-spin cycle ends, the multiplier resets to 1, ready for the next cycle of action. However, if you’re buying a bonus, the multiplier always resets to 1 at the start of the feature. If you win the Free Spins round with a multiplier in play, that multiplier carries over into the Free Spins!
Free Spins Round – A Sticky Adventure
When three Scatter Symbols land on 1, 3 and 5 reels, the free spins round gets activated which gives 10 free spins, and the Wild symbols become sticky (which appear during this free spins round). Throughout the Bonus round, these wilds remain stuck and the opportunities for winning increase. Unfortunately, Free Spins cannot be re-triggered but the potential for massive payouts remains because of the Sticky Wilds.
Buy Bonus – Skip the Wait and Get Right to the Action
For those who prefer to skip straight to the Free Spins action, the Buy Bonus feature lets you do just that. You can purchase the Free Spins round for a price, with three different levels of purchase available:
- Level 1: Buy the Free Spins with 0 Sticky Wilds.
- Level 2: Buy the Free Spins with 2×2 Wild stacks appearing at the start of the round.
- Level 3: Buy the Free Spins with 3×3 Wild stacks at the beginning of the round.
This feature gives players a chance to increase their chances of landing big wins by starting the bonus with Wilds already in place.
