Wild Hike (Relax Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Wild Hike Slot Overview

I set off after dark in Wild Hike, a Relax Gaming slot where the reels sit by a campfire and free spins lift the view to a star-filled sky. It runs on 6 reels, 4 rows, and 4,096 ways to win, paying left to right from reel one. Bets range from 10 p/c to $/€50 per spin. It is highly volatile, with an RTP of 96.09% in regular play, nudging up when buying free spins. The action centres on expanding multiplier wilds.

Wild Hike Slot Information

Wild Hike’s paytable keeps it clear. Low pays are 10, J, Q, K and A, worth 1x the bet for six of a kind. Premiums are an owl, deer, boar, bear, and wolf, paying between 1.8x and 10x for six. A howling wolf with a golden W is the wild; it lands on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5, and if it hits on reels 3 or 4 it can expand. The tent acts as the scatter. Wins form on three or more adjacent reels from the left.

Wild Hike Slot Features

When wilds land on reels 3 or 4 in Wild Hike, they turn into Expanding Wilds that cover the entire reel and trigger a Re-spin. Each expanded wild starts at 1x and steps up by +1 on every consecutive Re-spin that includes a win. The re-spins keep coming while wins keep landing, and the expanded wilds stick in place throughout. In the base game, multipliers reset once the Re-spins end, keeping the cycle snappy.

Hit both reels 3 and 4 with expanding wilds and things can escalate fast. The two multipliers multiply each other before applying to any winning way, which works neatly with the 4,096 ways engine. Scatters are carried from the base game into the Re-spin sequence, and within free spins they are sticky during the Re-spins too. The core loop is simple, but when the multipliers connect across several re-spins, the payout profile starts to show its teeth.

Free Spins in Wild Hike

Three or four scatters in Wild Hike award 7 or 10 free spins. During the feature, multipliers created by Expanding Wilds persist for the whole round, rather than resetting, and when no expanded wild is visible you’ll see the saved values shown above reels three and four. Land a scatter in the bonus to collect +1 extra spin. If you trigger free spins from an active Re-spin sequence, any multipliers you had built carry over and become the starting point for the bonus.

Buy Feature in Wild Hike

If you prefer to skip the wait, Wild Hike offers two buys. The regular free spins costs 75x the bet and triggers 3 or 4 scatters at random, lifting the RTP to 96.51%. The Wild Free Spins costs 150x the bet and also starts from 3 or 4 scatters, but here at least one win on double Expanding Wilds is guaranteed, and the RTP edges to 96.54%. Both routes keep the core behaviour intact; the difference is how often the multipliers get into action.

Wild Hike RTP, Volatility and Max Win

Wild Hike sits in the high volatility bracket, paired with a respectable 96.09% RTP in standard play and slight increases on the buys. Stakes span 0.10 to 50 per spin, and the 6x4 layout with 4,096 ways keeps the hit pattern flowing when the reels co‑operate. The headline figure is a 20,000x max win cap, a number that matches the multiplier-driven nature of the game. It is a straightforward sheet of stats that fits the feature set and the studio’s style.

Wild Hike Slot Verdict

As a long-time slots punter, I rate Wild Hike as technically sound rather than one of the studio’s trailblazers. The theme feels closer to a quiet camping spot than a trek, but the ambience works at night with the crackling fire and the shift to the stars in the bonus. What matters is the expanding-wild loop; it’s familiar, but it still builds tension as each re-spin rolls in and the multipliers creep up.

When both reels 3 and 4 light up, the multiplying multipliers can get wild, and that’s where the 20,000x cap starts to make sense. The ways pay system helps those moments breathe. It won’t be every spin, and the reset between sequences keeps the base game edgy, but the bonus-round persistence adds a handy layer. If you like high-volatility nature slots with a clean hook and a proper ceiling, Wild Hike is well worth a hike.
