You are born to go wild in this Born Wild slot that give you 5×4 reels and 30 paylines filled with sticky wilds both in the base game and the free spin bonus.
Unlike so many other animal-themed slot machines, the graphics and sounds here feel totally modern – we could see any of the animal tags on the reels on a T-Shirt somewhere. The low-paying symbols are the words: howl, claw, hiss, grr, and roar. But it’s the high-paying panther, rhino, gorilla, tiger, and the cobra that will capture your heart.
The Born Wild mobile slot is a volatile game that could see you win as much as 2,500x your bet in a single spin. Which might not sound like much, but a single spin can easily turn into multiple spins thanks to the respins with sticky wilds and the free spins with sticky wilds.
Much like the Dead or Alive slot game, the trick to falling in love with this wild beast is to learn how to tame it, and to have the patience to ride this wild animal to the end of the line.
There’s only two slot features in this Born Wild slot game.
The first is Lion’s Roar. Land 3 or more lions on the reel, and you’ll get a series of respin to catch more lions. When no more lions are found, you’ll then get to play 3 spins with the lions all turned to sticky wilds.
The second is the Born Wild free spins. 3 scatters will trigger 10 free spins where all wild symbols will stay sticky on screen for the duration of the bonus. No multipliers, no tricks, to gimmicks. Just lots and lots of wild symbols.
Honestly, if it wasn’t for the low RTP of 94.25% we would almost be tempted to give this Born Wild online slot review 4 stars. Because whilst the top win may not sound like much, thanks to the sticky wilds, you could win 2,500x your bet (or close) multiple spins in a row.
You simply need to catch enough wilds.
However, much like Dead or Alive 2 slot or the Warriors Ways slot, this is a highly volatile game where only those willing to wrestle with the most dangerous creatures will survive.
Maybe just a little more volatile than we would have liked, but with those fun bright graphics and simple but effective mechanics, we can see ourselves coming back for more when we next play at online casino sites.

Wilds: The green wild symbol is wild. It will replace any other symbol on the reels to create a win. 5 in a paying will also pay 50x your bet.
Lion's Roar: Land three or more lion symbols in the base game to activate this feature. You will be awarded respins until no more lion symbols land on the reel. When the respins end, all the lion symbols will be converted into wilds and you'll get +3 spins with all those wilds sticky on screen.
Scatters and Free Spins: Get three or more bear scatter symbols to trigger 10 free spins. During the bonus game, all wild symbols are sticky and will stay for the duration of the bonus - this includes any that were already on the reels or land on the reels.
Bonus Buy: You can buy entry to the free spin bonus for 80x your bet. The overall game RTP increases by:
Both are not always available to all slots sites online.
With an unusual look and theme, you would think this Born Wild slot online is a complicated machine. But despite the excellent graphics, this is actually a classic 30 payline 5 reel game with just two features: sticky wild respins and sticky wild free spins.
The maximum win of 2,500x your bet may not be as high as in the King Carrot slot (also by Hacksaw Gaming) but that's not to say that the quick win mechanics are not enjoyable.
It's just a shame the RTP is so low at 94.25%, or we would have easily given this Born Wild slot review an extra star.
Still with a low minimum bet of 0.10 a spin, all the way to 100, it's very inclusive of any budget, allowing for some fun quick spins if you do find it in your gameplay collection at your favourite slot sites.
