The Wildwood Curse

Everyone has their own fears, but we can all agree that cursed forests, where psychopaths, disfigured monsters, and the spirits of children whispering to the dead roam, embody a universal terror. At the same time, why bother going to these places after dark, especially alone? Perhaps it’s the lure of profit that attracts so many… or perhaps an unhealthy curiosity about the unknown, strong enough to forget fear and venture into the darkness. Spoiler alert: here you’ll find features based on wild symbols that can remain on the grid, trigger respins, and activate different types of multipliers.

In The Wildwood Curse slot, fearless players can enter this bloody and cursed wood on a grid featuring 6 reels with 5 rows and 19 paylines. Medium volatility and an RTP of 96.30% are the game’s main features, but keep in mind that it’s possible to win up to 10,000x the maximum bet, which is a pretty good reason to give it a try.

You’ll start on the edge with a bet between $0.10 and $100 per spin. Wins pay from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel, and you’ll need to find 3 to 6 matching symbols on adjacent reels to win. The A, K, Q, and J symbols pay between 0.20x and 2x the bet, while symbols like the cassette, knife, flashlight, and jar pay between 0.50x and 10x the bet. There’s also a Wild, which can substitute for all paying symbols and pay 10x the bet for a combination of 6 in a row.

In addition to regular payouts, the Nightmare Respins, Cursed Clusters, and the bonus trio will make your walk in the woods a real nightmare.

Nightmare Respins

When Wilds appear, they freeze on the grid and trigger a Nightmare Respin, during which all appearing Wilds freeze until the end. The bonus continues until new Wilds appear or there are no more available positions, and wins are awarded with each respin.
