Orca’s Wild Bonanza (Yggdrasil Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

How to Play Orca’s Wild Bonanza Slot

Orca’s Wild Bonanza runs on 5 reels with 3 rows and 25 paylines. I tap the green play button to spin, while the triple lines icon opens rules, sound, paylines, autoplay and stake controls. Autoplay offers 10 to 250 spins, and the coins menu sets bets from €0.25 to €20. Wins pay left to right, starting from reel one. It feels tidy and quick to set up, and the semi‑transparent grid keeps the seabed on show while I sort the basics.

Symbols and Payouts in Orca’s Wild Bonanza

There are twelve symbols, with Shell and Bonus as non‑payers. Nine standard icons pay for three, four or five in line, and the top pair also pay from two of a kind. J, Q, K and A return 0.12x to 0.6x for five. The game keeps it clear, so I can spot quick lines as they land and roll into reactions.

Starfish and Jellyfish pay 0.2x to 1x, Turtles and Octopuses pay 0.24x to 1.2x, and Dolphins pay 0.08x to 1.6x. The Wild Orca substitutes all standard symbols and pays 0.16x to 8x, but not for Scatter or Shell. Payouts look modest on the line, yet Wilds tie directly into the multiplier, which is where the real push can come from.

Orca’s Wild Bonanza Bonus Features

Cascading Wins remove winning symbols and drop new ones from above. Reactions keep going while wins continue from the same spin. When a winning combo triggers free spins, cascades do not play out. That distinction matters, as I look for extra tumbles to nudge more Orcas on the screen during base sequences.

The Contagious Wild Feature cycles over three levels, moving up each spin then looping back. Level 1 activates the Dolphin, level 2 adds the Octopus, and level 3 adds the Turtle. A Shell landing on reel 3 can turn adjacent active symbols wild. Each Wild on the grid increases the WinMulti by +1. The multiplier applies to all wins and resets between base spins.

Three or more Scatters award 5 free spins. The WinMulti carries over from the trigger and does not reset, and only winning free spins are deducted from the tally. All spins play at Contagious Wild level 4, with Jellyfish added to the active list, and retriggers are possible with 3+ Scatters. The Extenda Free Spin Feature can purchase an extra 5 win spins at the end, keeping the built multiplier rolling.

RTP & Volatility in Orca’s Wild Bonanza

The RTP is 95.9% with high volatility, and versions at 94%, 90.5% and 86% exist, so I check the setting. Hit frequency sits at 32.26%, so about one in three spins will pay on average, but streaks can vary. The max win is 12,500x the stake, with the bet range between €0.25 and €20. It is a swingy ride, and the multiplier hold in free spins is the main path to large outcomes.

Review Summary for Orca’s Wild Bonanza

This subsea setup is tidy and readable, with symbols popping off via cascades and a global WinMulti that rises with every Wild. The Contagious Wild system adds a nice rhythm, though needing the Shell on the middle reel can temper stretches. When level 4 is in play, wild conversions feed the multiplier, and the round starts from whatever value I had at trigger.

I rate it as a high‑variance package that can land stretches of small pays, then swing when Orcas cluster. The non‑resetting multiplier, winning free spins and retriggers give real headroom to reach into the 12,500x bracket. Watch the adjustable RTP ranges and settle on a version you prefer. For me, it is an unusual sea slot with enough quirks to keep me spinning.
