Wild Heart (BGaming) – Review & Demo Play

Wild Heart Slot Overview

I've put plenty of spins through Wild Heart from BGaming, and it lands as a 5x4, 20-payline release with an RTP of 96.92% and medium/high volatility. It launched on 25 January 2024 and leans on a Zorro-inspired raccoon set in a small Mexican town at night, purple reels and candles framing the action. Bets run from 0.20 to 80, hit frequency sits at 12.82%, and the max win caps at 2820x, so it's a controlled but lively ride across mobile and desktop.

Wild Heart Slot Information

Gameplay is straightforward. Wins form by landing three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost side. The interface puts the Feature Buy on the left, with the Wild Frames and Extra Multiplier tracker above the reels, and the rest of the buttons along the bottom. It plays smoothly on phones, tablets, and desktops. The 10-spin cycle in the base game adds a steady pulse, and I found it easy to keep track of progress between spins.

The paytable sticks to clear tiers. Low pays are 10, J, Q, K, and A, worth 3x your bet for five of a kind. High pays step up with a green hand fan, hat, rose, bag of gold, female rabbit, guitar, and the raccoon, paying 6x to 20x for five. The raccoon can land up to 1x4 tall, and even two raccoons return 0.1x. The Scatter is the black stallion appearing on reels 1, 3, and 5.

Wild Heart Slot Features

Feature wise, Wild Heart keeps the focus tight. The feature set is Wild Symbol, Wild Frames, Extra Multiplier, Free Spins, and Feature Buy. Wild Frames build across a 10-spin cycle before flipping to Wilds, the Extra Multiplier rides along on both base and bonus wins, and Free Spins lock any Wilds that land. If patience isn't your style, the Feature Buy lets you jump straight into the action with optional larger sticky Wild blocks.

I rate the pacing because the 10th spin moment lands often enough to matter without swallowing bankroll. The Extras sit in plain view, so you always see where you stand before a spin. That visibility helps when deciding whether to stick with the base or buy the bonus. Across sessions, the feature mix feels coherent, with clear payoffs when frames stack, a banked multiplier waits, and sticky hearts drop early.

Wild Symbol in Wild Heart

The Wild is a red heart that substitutes for all regular symbols and pays on its own. Two, three, four, or five Wilds return 0.1x, 2x, 5x, or 20x. During Free Spins, any Wild that lands turns sticky and stays fixed until the round ends, which can stitch together tidy line wins as the grid fills. In the base game, Wilds pair well with the 10-spin cycle outcome when framed positions convert, giving you clusters of substitutes right when you need them.

Wild Frames in Wild Heart

The Wild Frame feature triggers every 10th spin in the base game. Any Heart Symbol that lands marks its cell with a golden frame, and those frames stick for the duration of the 10-spin cycle. When the counter reaches the 10th spin, every framed position turns into a Wild Symbol, often building several lines at once. After the burst, all frames clear and a fresh cycle starts. It's simple to follow and adds a predictable tempo to sessions.

Above the reels sits the Extra Multiplier starting at 1x. It increases by 1 whenever a Heart lands on a framed spot, and that value applies to all base wins and any bonus wins you hit. The multiplier resets to 1x when a new 10-spin cycle begins, but the active value carries over if the bonus triggers. I've had some tidy returns when a chunky frame spread and a banked multiplier lined up on the same trigger spin.

Free Spins in Wild Heart

Land three black stallions on reels 1, 3, and 5 to trigger 10 Free Spins. The current Extra Multiplier from the base game carries into the bonus, though it won't climb during the spins. Every Wild that lands becomes sticky for the duration, so the screen can stack with hearts and keep lines scoring. There's no retrigger here, so that carry-over multiplier and early Wilds are key to squeezing the most from the set.

Feature Buy in Wild Heart

If you want to skip the set-up, the Feature Buy gets you straight into Free Spins. The base option costs 50x your stake and plays with the standard sticky Wild behaviour. Pricing feels fair for the volatility, and in longer sessions I've mixed buys with natural triggers to keep the pace steady. It's handy when the frame cycle hasn't been kind and you just want a roll at the sticky hearts without waiting on the meter.

There are two enhanced buys. For 120x, you start the bonus with 2x2 Wild Symbols in play; the quoted RTP sits at 97.03%. For 400x, you begin with 3x3 Wild Symbols and an RTP of 96.98%. Both options layer those larger sticky blocks onto the regular pattern, so the grid can lock up quickly. When the layout tilts your way, lines jump, though the 3x3 costs a serious chunk and will punish cold patches.

On balance, I've seen the 50x buy deliver the most consistent value over time, especially when paired with a carried Extra Multiplier. The 120x can spike nicely when symbols align in the first few spins. The 400x is the gambler's punt, brilliant when it lands but pricey when it doesn't. Either way, the buy menu gives you control over tempo, and it fits the game's rhythm without breaking the base game flow.
