Thunderkick has launched The WIldos 2, which sees the return of characters from the 2023 original game, with Wild Multipliers, a Bounty Poster feature, and the Bonus Choice win boosting feature.
Set on an expanded 4x5 grid at the heart of the American Frontier, the action centres around tiered Wild Multipliers on reels two, three and four: Bronze multiplier values range from 1x to 3x, Silver from 5x to 8x and Gold from 10x up to 25x.
The Bounty Poster feature is another new addition, where the colour of the bandit on the ‘wanted’ sign determines the tier of Wild Multiplier distributed across the reels. The green, red and blue posters award up to four Bronze, five Silver and five Gold Wild Multipliers, respectively.
A Bonus Choice is triggered by landing three dynamite Scatters, providing the option between 12 Bronze, 9 Silver and 6 Gold Free Spins. There is also a Random Bonus, which awards between six and 12 Free Spins and randomly selects the multiplier tier. During Free Spins, all Wild Multipliers can land but only the selected tier remains sticky for the feature duration.
The Super Bonus is activated either through the Random Bonus option or by landing at least one Super Scatter on a feature-triggering spin. This awards the maximum 12 Free Spins, during which all Bronze, Silver and Gold Wild Multipliers are sticky.
“The Wildos 2 retains the essence of adventure that made the first iteration so popular, but builds on its foundations with upgraded features that elevate win potential further,” said Mike Collins, game product owner at Thunderkick.
“The original was a hit with players, and by optimising the mathematics and finetuning the visuals, we have produced a franchise-bolstering game that we are confident will prove a success.”
