The Wildos 2

The Wildos 2 is the sequel to the original title, further developing the original features while enriching its gameplay, with the game refocusing much of its attention on obtaining sticky multiplier Wilds. The three crooks, as charismatic as ever, don’t stay quiet for long in their cells. During the free spins, they blow up the bars that hold them captive, turning their escape into a hunt for winnings for the players.

As you embark on this hunt for the bandits, you will play on a grid consisting of 5×4 reels with 20 paylines. An additional row has appeared in the new version, allowing for more active paylines. However, the RTP is down, now standing at 94.19%. Highly volatile, this slot allows you to win up to 10,000x the stake in one spin. You can choose your bet at the start of each round, which can be between $0.10 and $100 per spin. The Bet+ function gives you 2x or 5x more chances to activate the Bonus Game for 1.50x or 3x the bet.

Collect Sticky Multiplier Wilds in The Wildos 2, a cartoon-like slot machine about the Wild West by Thunderkick.

The symbols in The Wildos 2 are naturally linked to the world of the Wild West, there are the three colorful bandits capable of paying out between 1x and 20x the bet, the golden necklace, the sheriff’s hat, the pocket watch as well as the various briefcases of banknotes that pay out between 0.20x and 4x the bet.

In addition to the regular payouts you can win along the way, The Wildos 2 features Multiplier Wilds, Bounty Poster Feature, Bonus Game with Free Spins, retriggers and Sticky Multiplier Wilds.

Multiplier Wilds

The Wilds look the same as the bank door on the right of the playing field. They are swinging doors with a large ‘S’ on them. You will only encounter them on the middle three reels. They have a Multiplier, which increases depending on the color:

• Green Wilds: x1, x2 or x3
• Blue Wilds: x5, x6 or x8
• Red Wilds: x10, x15 or x25

If several land on the same payline, add the Multiplier together. So two x1 Multipliers become x2.

Bounty Poster Feature

This mode triggers one of three effects per spin when a wanted poster appears:

• The Green Wildo Poster: adds 1 to 4 Bronze Wilds.
• The Blue Wildo Poster: adds 1 to 5 Silver Wilds.
• The Red Wildo Poster: adds 1 to 5 Gold Wilds.

All on reels 2. At 4, high-value wild symbols can improve low-value ones, but not the other way around.

Once the mode is over, the Bounty Poster symbols act as if they correspond to a strong symbol.

Bonus Game

You can trigger the bonus by receiving 3 Scatter symbols represented by dynamite.

Four options are available:

• Bronze Bonus: 12 Free Spins with Bronze multipliers.
• Silver Bonus: 9 Free Spins with Silver multipliers.
• Gold Bonus: 6 Free Spins with Gold multipliers.
• Random Bonus: 6, 9 or 12 Free Spins with a chance to get the Super Bonus.

The Super Bonus awards 12 Free Spins with all Wilds sticky. During the feature, all types of Wilds can appear but only the selected type will become sticky.

Bounty Poster symbols can appear and act but will not appear if no enhancements or free wild positions are available. If a higher value wild appears on a lower value wild, then the higher value applies. You can win 2, 3 or 4 additional free spins symbols by filling reels 2, 3 or 4 with sticky wilds. The number of additional Free Spins varies depending on the type of Bonus Game selected at the start.

Super Bonus

This mode is triggered with 2 regular Scatter symbols and a Super Scatter or when you win the option with the Random Bonus mode. In this bonus, you will receive 12 free spins and all Wilds become sticky.

Buy Feature

It is possible to purchase access to the various Free Spins bonuses for 100x the bet. Also, the Super Bonus mode is accessible for 500x the bet.

Up to 10,000x the bet to be won with the bandits

There are bound to be similarities with the original title, but The Wildos 2 manages to keep the main ideas while strengthening the gameplay to create a more accomplished game. The best thing to do is to cover the middle reel holes with sticky golden Wilds during the free spins. When there are multiple multipliers in the same winning combination, their values will be added together before being applied rather than multiplied as was the case before. But if you’re just looking for a more generous game to have fun with innovative mechanics, then you can give it a try.
