Wild Heart

Learn how Wild Heart runs before you bet

Start with a bet, since all 20 paylines on this 5x4 grid are fixed. Wild Heart is a Romance video slot from BGaming. A win can start with just two matching symbols on a payline. The main mechanic is the Wild Frames cycle, a run of 10 spins. Each Heart marks the cell it lands on with a gold frame, and at the end of the cycle every framed cell turns Wild.

Decide early whether to wait for the bonus or buy it. Three or more BONUS scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 trigger 10 Free Spins that cannot be retriggered. A Heart landing on an already framed cell adds +1 to the Extra Multiplier, which resets each cycle. The multiplier carries into Free Spins only when the round is won naturally, not bought.

Five stages follow

Clear steps before your first bet

The usual worry is not knowing what happens after a spin, so each step shows it.

  1. Start small at A$0.20

    Set the bet from A$0.20 up to A$80 before the first spin. The examples on this page use A$0.40 and A$0.50, so every win scales to your own stake.

  2. What does a gold frame do?

    Read a win on the 20 fixed paylines of the 5x4 grid. A Heart marks its cell with a gold frame, and framed cells turn Wild at cycle end.

  3. Each repeat adds +1 more

    A Heart landing on an already framed cell adds +1 to that spin's Extra Multiplier. The multiplier goes back to x1 with each new cycle.

  4. Wild Heart free spins start

    Three or more BONUS scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 start 10 free spins. Wilds that land during the round stay sticky until it ends.

  5. What if the session runs long?

    Set a time or money limit before the first spin. Nothing on this page shows when a bonus will come, so plan for any result.

Wild Heart bonus buys and costs

Decide the bet first: each buy costs a set multiple of the total bet, and the cash price moves with it.

The percentage figures, turned into money

Before you bet, know the return figure: the share of staked money paid back over a very long run, counted per A$100 staked. The version Casino Kings runs is in the game rules.

Four ways in

Wild Heart modes, step by step

Worried about paying for a bonus that does not start? Each route below shows how it begins.

Scatters on reels 1, 3, 5

Free Spins start when 3+ BONUS scatters land on reels 1, 3 and 5. You get 10 spins, and they cannot be retriggered. Wilds landing in the round stay sticky until it ends. Extra Multiplier from the base game carries over only if the round is won naturally, not purchased.

Base game10 Free Spins

Straight into 10 Free Spins

You can buy this bonus for 50x total bet. It triggers 10 Free Spins, with the Extra Multiplier reset to x1 and no pre-placed wilds at the start.

Base game10 Free Spins

Wanting a head start

Buying this bonus costs 120x total bet. Then 10 Free Spins start. On the first spin, a pre-formed 2x2 block of 4 cells of sticky Wild hearts appears at a random position.

Base gameSticky Wild hearts

Largest pre-formed Wild block

This buy costs 400x total bet and triggers 10 Free Spins. A pre-formed 3x3 block of 9 cells of sticky Wild hearts appears at a random position on the first spin.

Play for real

Can any session of Wild Heart be predicted?

Decide your stake and session budget before the first spin. How often the bonus round comes is not known in advance, and the result of one session is random whatever the RTP. A high RTP does not mean a short losing run, so keep the budget you can afford to lose.

Check the RTP version before you stake, because it is shown only in the game rules. Open the rules inside Wild Heart and read the version line before you place your first bet. Do not stake until you have read it.

Read the maximum win as a ceiling, not a target. Wild Heart pays up to x2,820 of the bet, and that ceiling is reached very rarely. No stake size or streak of spins makes it more likely on any given spin.

Five questions answered

Read the short answers before you bet

Casino Kings puts the numbers first, so you can decide before you spin.

What is the RTP of Wild Heart slot?

Wild Heart has four RTP versions, from 96.92% to 97.03%. The table on this page shows what each one returns per A$100 staked. RTP is a long-run average over many spins, so it does not predict the result of one session.

What is the maximum win on Wild Heart slot?

The maximum win in Wild Heart is 2,820 times the bet. At the example top bet of A$0.50 that is A$1,410, and at the highest bet of A$80 it is A$225,600. Nobody can predict whether a session reaches it.

What bet sizes can I play on Wild Heart?

Wild Heart accepts stakes from A$0.20 up to A$80 per spin. The tables on this page use A$0.40 and A$0.50 as examples, so the figures there are not the game limits. Pick a bet your budget covers for many spins, not just the first one.

How are the free spins triggered on Wild Heart?

Free spins start naturally when three or more BONUS scatters land on reels 1, 3 and 5. A round gives 10 spins that cannot be retriggered. Extra Multiplier built in the base game carries over only into a round that was triggered naturally, not a bought one.

Can I buy the bonus on Wild Heart and what does it cost?

Wild Heart offers three bonus buys, priced at 50, 120 and 400 times the total bet. Each one gives 10 free spins, and the two Wild versions start with a block of sticky Wild hearts. The price scales with your bet, so check the table first.
