Slot Overview

Wild Skullz is a high-volatility rock-themed slot from Pragmatic Play, and the game is designed around Expanding Wilds, increasing Multipliers, a Roaming Free Spins mechanic, and boasts a maximum win potential of up to 10,000x. It’s quite aggressive in its design, but is there enough substance behind the volume? The Demoslot team investigates.

Theme & Design

If you’re familiar with rock-themed slots like Megaways of Rock or Jimi Hendrix, you’ll probably find yourself feeling right at home here. Wild Skullz is set on a darkly lit stage, and you’ll see blue spotlights surrounded by skulls, chains, and fire-edged symbols.

The band members are, of course, the game’s core symbols, and each band member appears as an Expanding Wild, with electric colour effects that do a pretty good job of matching their multipliers. The animations are quite well done too, even if they do appear slightly OTT at times!

Gameplay & Bonus Features

Wild Skullz uses a 5-reel, 3-row layout with 243 ways to win, and you can bet between €0.20 and €240 per spin. The game boasts an RTP of 96.44%, which is pretty good, and comes in at slightly above the current industry average.

The game’s core mechanic revolves around Expanded Wild symbols, which substitute for all symbols except Scatters. In the base game, these Wilds can appear on reels 2 to 5 and expand to cover the entire reel when they land. Now, when they do, they can also carry a random multiplier of between 2x and 512x. Only one Expanding Wild can land per spin, but the multiplier displayed is then applied to the total win for that spin.

Wild Skullz’s Free Spins bonus is triggered by landing three Scatter symbols anywhere in view. Once triggered, on the first Free Spin, an Expanded Wild lands on reel 5. With each subsequent Free Spin, it shifts one reel to the left, moving from reel 5 down to reel 1. If a Scatter lands on reel 5 during the feature, the Expanded Wild jumps back to reel 5, too.

Also worth noting is that during the Free Spins bonus the Wild begins without a multiplier. Each time it participates in a win, its multiplier increases to 2x, and then doubles on every subsequent winning spin. The feature simply continues until the Wild reaches reel 1 and no Scatter appears on reel 5.

Bonus Buy & Ante Bet

Wild Skullz offers several optional feature buy/ante bet options, if you live in a region where they’re available:

 to accelerate gameplay:

  • Ante Bet: Costs 100x and increases the chance of triggering Free Spins by 10x.
  • Super Spin: Costs 200x and guarantees at least one Expanding Wild on every spin.
  • Standard Free Spins: Costs 100x for the standard Free Spins bonus.
  • Super Free Spins: Costs 600x, and guarantees that the Expanding Wild starts with a 32x multiplier.

Pros

  • Win up to 10,000x.
  • Powerful Expanding Wild Multipliers.
  • Pretty unique free spins bonus with moving wilds.

Cons

  • Very high volatility.
  • No fixed number of free spins won’t appeal to everyone.
  • Theme and presentation may be a little loud for some players.

Final Thoughts

Wild Skullz is a slot that is, clearly, high-risk, high-reward, and Pragmatic Play has made no attempt to hide that fact. The Expanding Wild mechanic is simple to understand but can be very powerful, and we like how the multiplier values double; it gives off slight Barbarossa Revenge vibes.

Now, yes, the fact that the free spins don’t give you a fixed amount of spins isn’t going to be for everyone; we understand that. Still, it’s quite a unique way of doing things, and if you’re happy to sit through a few very short bonuses, you could find yourself with one that constantly re-triggers, sees the multiplier values getting very high, and even inches you close to that maximum win potential of 10,000x, if you’re lucky!

So, yes, Wild Skullz won’t be for everyone, but we like how Pragmatic Play is doing something different here. It’s volatile, unforgiving, and loud, but if those are qualities you’re happy to accept, then this could well be a game worth checking out!
