The Wildos 2 (Thunderkick) – Review & Demo Play

The Wildos 2 Slot Overview

I’m back with the Wildos crew, and this sequel lands with a bigger 5x4 layout and 20 paylines on a rattling train heist backdrop. It sticks to what worked: sticky wild multipliers on the middle reels and a clear chase for wild coverage. I felt the step up straight away, as posters, sticky behaviour, and pickable bonuses give the base a purposeful cadence. It reads clean, plays fast, and keeps attention on stacking wild power rather than a clutter of side mechanics.

Stakes run from 0.10 to 100, with default RTP set to 94.19% and a high volatility model. The max win rises to 10,000x, and the key change is that multiple multipliers add before applying, instead of multiplying. That tempers single-spin blowouts yet raises the value of upgrades and poster hits. I toggled Bet+ when hunting features, but the grind still hinges on turning reels 2–4 sticky and widening coverage during free spins for meaningful lifts.

The Wildos 2 Slot Information

The three masked outlaws top the paytable: 5-of-a-kind pays 20x on red, 17.5x on blue, and 15x on green. Mid symbols are the necklace, hat, and pocket watch, paying 4x, 3.5x, and 4x for a full line. Lows are briefcases stamped with card suits, each worth 2x for five. Lines pay left to right across 20 fixed lines on a 5x4 grid, so I kept an eye on stacking mids behind multipliers to raise line value.

The Wild symbol is the dollar sign, landing on reels 2–4 only and revealing Bronze, Silver, or Gold multipliers. Scatters are dynamite sticks marked Bonus, while Super Scatter flags the Super Bonus trigger. Bounty Posters act as special symbols and convert to their matching character symbol after firing. I found posters valuable as they can drop extra wilds without consuming scatter spots, keeping bonus chances open while lifting the board for the next spin.

Hit frequency sits around 20.58% on the default model, so I plan stakes with pockets of dead spins in mind. The RTP can be set lower by operators, but the default 94.19% is the figure I reference. With bets from 0.10 to 100 and 20 lines always active, the maths encourages patience for poster-triggered upgrades and sticky placements, rather than line-only nudges. When those align behind a decent symbol spread, the paytable starts to sing.

The Wildos 2 Slot Features

Multiplier Wilds appear on reels 2–4 only and come in three bands. Bronze shows x1, x2, or x3; Silver shows x5, x6, or x8; Gold shows x10, x15, or x25. If multiple wilds help the same win, their values are added first, then applied. A higher-value wild landing over a lower one upgrades it for that spin, and in certain modes those upgrades persist. This additive model rewards layered drops over single, isolated hits.

The Bounty Poster feature is a difference-maker. Green Poster adds 1–4 Bronze Wilds, Blue Poster adds up to 5 Silver Wilds, and Red Poster can convert up to 5 positions into Gold Wilds. Posters themselves aren’t covered by added wilds, scatters stay untouched, and higher-value wilds can upgrade lower-value ones. When the sequence ends, posters revert to their respective high-pay character symbols. I rate red posters highly, as stray Golds can swing a screen.

Three scatters trigger a pick with four options: Bronze Bonus 12 spins, Silver Bonus 9, Gold Bonus 6, or Random with 6/9/12 and a chance at Super. In regular bonus play, any wild can land, but only the selected band turns sticky. Super Bonus can start via two regular scatters plus a Super Scatter or via the Random pick, and it awards 12 spins with all wilds sticky and upgrades persisting. Fill reels 2–4 with stickies to gain +4/+3/+2 spins.

Bet+ and Feature Buy in The Wildos 2

Bet+ offers a 1.5x ante for roughly 2x bonus odds (94.31% RTP) or a 3x ante for about 5x bonus odds (94.33% RTP). Feature buys sit at 100x for Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Random (94.45% RTP), and 500x for the Super Bonus (94.48% RTP). It’s a straight trade between pace and cost, and I lean on buys when chasing sticky setups, as the published figures make the route clear without any hidden wrinkles.

Theme & Graphics in The Wildos 2

The Wildos 2 sticks to a cartoon Western, now set on a speeding locomotive. The reels sit between a jail carriage and a luxury wagon doorway stamped with a dollar sign, which the outlaws breach during features. It replaces the dusty town of the first outing with a rail-bound run through sand and scrub. The layout keeps the characters close to the grid, so the action and theme feel connected rather than painted on.

Visuals are sharper than before, with brighter edges and tidy animation flourishes when posters fire or wilds stick. The soundscape matches the heist tone without drowning spins, and the UI keeps the Bet+ and buy buttons to the right of the grid for quick access. I played across mobile and desktop and found the presentation stable, with the 5x4 frame giving symbols room to breathe even when posters dump a heap of wilds.

The Wildos 2 Slot Verdict

I like the added depth over the original, though the additive multipliers cap single-line spikes. The tension is still there, as posters can throw Golds and sticky wilds can fill reels. High volatility, 10,000x max, and published buys make the route clear. If you want a straightforward base, it’s a touch busier; if you enjoy building boards and watching upgrades click, it lands. I had my best spells when posters fed the bonus and stickies kept stacking.
