Theme and Design
A Magical, Snowy Night Time Setting
Wild Flower has a magical, ethereal quality to it. The game is set against the backdrop of a snowy forest with a huge full moon above and northern lights casting greens and blues across the sky. There are wolves, pentagrams and a lady with a red-riding style hooded cloak on the paytable. It’s all quite gothic, perhaps in keeping with the image that The Cult portrayed. Whatever, it’s unlike any other slots I can think of and certainly eye-catching.
As for the soundtrack, during the base game, it’s just a spacey-ambient noise, until you land 2 or more scatters, then The Cult’s music kicks in. If you land 2 scatters, but not the third, once the reels stop spinning the music stops and returns to the ambient tune. The jarring change in tone gives the sensation of jumping from one space to another which is quite cool too.
RTP and Variance
Wild Flower has an RTP of 96.52%. That is good for an online slot these days given that it is fixed wherever you play. You won’t find any casino running the game at a lower rate.
This is also a very volatile game, so expect a very choppy and uneven distribution of wins. You don’t play slots like this casually – the win sequences can be spectacular but the risk is high because of the variance. So set your stake sensibly to avoid burning out too fast.
Maximum Win
The maximum win on one spin in Wild Flower is 114,100x, which is huge and makes this one of BTG’s highest max win games. It’s also on a par with massive high variance games like San Quentin xWays from Nolimit City.
Symbols and Paytable
Wild Flower plays on 6 reels, each displaying 4 rows of symbols. It is a win ways game. That means, wins are triggered by landing 3 or more identical symbols on adjacent reels – regardless of the row they land on – form left to right, starting at the left-most reel.
That gives you 4,096 win ways per spin (4x4x4x4x4x4).
There are 10 pay symbols in the table. Low win symbols are represented by the playing cards 9 through to Ace, valued at from 0.1x for 3 9s up to 1.2x for 6 Aces. The premiums are the Pentagrams, Paws, Wolves and a Red-hooded Beauty – evoking the Red Riding Hood theme that the game seems to base itself on. These are valued at from 0.3x for 3 Pentagrams up to 10x for 6 wolves.
NOTE: As you can see, pay symbols have LOW values in this game. This offsets a generally high win rate – over 40% in our 200 spins test session. So, you win frequently, but in small amounts. That means the wild multipliers and multiplier ladder (free spins) are crucial to scoring big wins.
There are also 2 Wilds in the game and they appear on the 4 central reels. Both are potentially full-reel symbols which replace all other icons except for the Scatter to complete win ways. The Flower Wild is very powerful because it multiplies all wins in which it takes part by 8x.
Finally, there are the Scatter and Mega Scatters will reward players with free spins when at least 3 appear simultaneously. You need these if you want to hit the big time.
Features and Gameplay
Like all good Big Time Gaming slots, Wild Flower is packed with potential and compelling feature-led gameplay. It’s all about the possibilities provided by landing Mega Scatters and Wild Multipliers.
Here is how it works:
Free Spins Features
A minimum of 3 regular Scatters anywhere on the grid triggers the Free Spins Feature with 2 different options available.
You get to choose from TWO free spins formats.
The Most Beautiful Thing Free Spins - 7 free spins where one low paying card symbol is randomly picked to become a Sticky Wild on reels 2 to 5. AND … landing 4 sticky wilds on one reel triggers 3 extra free spins.
Heart Beats Faster Free Spins - a Multiplier Ladder appears at random on any one of 12 free spins to activate a win multiplier of up to 80x. AND … landing 3 more scatters re-triggers the free spins.
Importantly, BOTH these bonus rounds can be indefinitely re-triggered so there is no limit to how far the free spins can take you as you battle towards the 100,000x + payouts.
Mega Scatters and Enhanced Free Spins
There is also an ENHANCED free spins feature. You need to land the Red Moon Mega Scatter on the 6th reel to trigger this, and you get a choice of TWO formats again.
Enhanced Heart Beats Faster – the wild ladder is in play again and when it lands to form a win it’s multiplier grows, up to 500x, 600x, 700x and 800x.
Enhanced The Most Beautiful Thing - if a Sticky Wild lands on top of an existing Sticky Wild then it becomes a 2x sticky wild. Another landing on top becomes a 3x Sticky Wild. Progressively adding more and more to the reel set in this way can lead to massive, insane win potential!
Final Verdict
Once again Big Time Gaming have blown the competition out of the water with this 4,096 win-ways slot. The combination of wilds and progressive multipliers in the free spins round here is extraordinary and whichever route you go down – My Heart Beats Faster or The Most Beautiful Thing – the rewards are potentially monstrous. But of course, Wild Flower slot comes with a warning: the super high variance makes this game a potentially extremely risky slot to play. So beware of this and choose your stake level carefully.
Testing Notes
Test spins and results analysis by Mark Wadie on 12.07.24
Results from 200 spins with real money on Wild Flower at Casumo.
- Stake Size: £0.1
- Start balance: £1,034.99
- End balance: £1,033.66
- Hit Rate: 40.5% (81 winning spins in 200)
- Biggest Win: 95.9x
- Free Spins Round: 1
The hit rate stands out a mile here. I wasn’t expecting that. More than 40% of spins produced a win of some kind. However, the paytable is very tight so the vast majority are lower than stake size. However, it at least makes you feel like you’re seeing some regular returns, and if you find volatile slots with low hit rates a problem, this could be a good option for you.
It's really just a waiting game to see when that free spins round will finally trigger. Along the way I saw that stacked wild flower with an 8x multiplier on 5 occasions (2.5% of spins). But the biggest win was a 3.2x, again because of the low pay table values.
The free spins took 163 spins to hit. I opted for the Heart Beats Faster because I wanted more spins (12 vs 7) and to see if I could hit a big win on the multiplier ladder. The ladder showed up on 5 of those 12 spins, and it did get to 80x once to produce a 48x win (5 of a kind Qs).
Take Aways? 200 spins provided a good taster of what Wild Flower is about. It’s hard to get any good wins in the base game and you should set your sights on getting into free spins in the long run. Once there, I can see big potential from that multiplier ladder, but patience is needed, and a lot of bankroll!
