Wild Depths (Pragmatic Play) – Review & Demo Play

Wild Depths Slot Overview

I’ve spent plenty of time under the waves with Wild Depths, and it’s a cheery cartoon seascape that hides a game with proper bite. It runs on a 5x4 layout with 40 paylines and a default RTP of 96.48%. Volatility sits at the top end, rated 5 out of 5, so sessions can swing. Core mechanics are x2 bubble wilds that can roam, respins, and free spins with a progressive win multiplier. On average I’ve seen the bonus land about once every 120 spins.

Wild Depths Slot Information

Symbol sets keep the bright look. Lows are 10 to A bubbles paying 1x to 1.5x for five. Mids are a red starfish plus two seashells paying 2.5x to 5x. Highs are three fish, with the top fish paying 1.5x, 5x, 20x for 3, 4, 5 of a kind. The bubble wild appears on reels 2 to 5 and substitutes for everything bar the scatter. Every wild carries a 2x, and when more than one joins the same win, the multipliers multiply.

The scatter is the oyster with a pearl. Three, four, or five anywhere pay 2x, 15x, or 100x total bet and open the free spins. Wins pay left to right across the 40 fixed lines, needing three or more from reel 1. Presentation is lively, with coral swaying and a calypso feel, yet the symbols are easy to read on both desktop and mobile. It’s all straightforward to follow, which helps when wilds start drifting up the reels.

Wild Depths Slot Features

Any wild that lands in the base game sticks and becomes a roaming wild. On the next paid spin it moves up one position on its reel, then keeps moving until it leaves the screen. That slow float can link lines over several spins and it’s where plenty of top ups come from. One tip from my sessions is to avoid changing stake while roaming wilds are showing, as the game clears them the moment you adjust the bet and the setup is lost.

Free spins arrive with three, four, or five scatters for 6, 9, or 12 spins, and three scatters during the feature add 5 more with no cap. Wilds behave the same but every upward step now triggers a respin, and a win multiplier climbs by one on each respin. That multiplier applies to all respin wins, even if wilds don’t connect, then it resets when all roaming wilds float off the top. It’s the round where the game can heat up.

I’ve had wild multipliers multiply each other for tidy hits, though they often land on separate reels, so don’t bank on big chains. The base game can run cold with patches of dead spins, yet roaming wilds help stitch wins together while they drift. The overall rhythm feels fair for a high variance slot with an average bonus rate of one in 120. When the free spins multiplier climbs over a few respins, decent totals can stack without a huge line hit.

Wild Depths Slot Conclusion

I like how Wild Depths mixes sunny looks with a game that can bite. Roaming x2 wilds that multiply each other keep me engaged in the base, and the bonus ups the ante through respins and that rising multiplier. I’ve seen frequent entries but many are small, which matches the quoted hit rate. When it purrs, it feels great; when it stalls, it can be a grind. For me it’s a bright, simple slot that can still pay its way.
