Born Wild has pleasant piano music similar to that of Chaos Crew before the chaos, that blends into Funk when the game quickens, plus neon colouring that resembles the same title. Hacksaw use simple and raw backgrounds to pop play area’s, giving them a pocket game feel. And the animal-based symbol design is more conventional and bold and bright, with a touch more impact – almost like the simple style seen in zoos to mark the cages.

The pay symbols begin at the low end with Howl, Claw, Hisss, Grrr and Roar, which equal your stake for five of a kind. The Panther, Rhino, Ape, Tiger and Cobra follow and pay up to 25 times your stake for five of a kind. The green self-titled wild symbol substitutes all symbols except for the scatters and pays 250 times your stake for five wilds connected on a pay line. Two types of trigger symbols feature in Born Wild across all reels; landing three or more Lion symbols will trigger the Lions Roar feature and three or more Grizzly Bears award free spins.

Born Wild Slot Features

Hacksaw Gaming burst onto the scene with slots that gradually sniffed at others claiming to be highly volatile. Their titles have always carried simple yet interestingly good mechanics, with Stack ‘Em sharing one of the most tantalising and brilliantly simple bonus features of 2021. So let us see if Born Wild continues the simple and influentially devastating Hacksaw Gaming style.

Landing three Grizzly Bear scatter symbols triggers 10 free spins with Sticky Wilds. No retriggers are available. For the duration of the round, any Wild symbols landing will stick and hold for the remaining spins. The free spins round plays out automatically in seamless transition until no more spins are left.

Landing three or more Lion symbols in the base game triggers the Lions Roar feature. All symbols are removed from the reels leaving only the triggering symbols and a respin feature starts. Each time a Lion symbol lands, it sticks for another respin and this continues until a failed respin of no Lion symbols. All sticky Lion symbols will then transform into Wilds for a final set of three spins with the pay symbols back on the reels. Fill the reels completely with Lion symbols to automatically win the fixed jackpot pay of a staggering €10,000,000.

Born Wild comes with a Bonus Buy, which enables you to purchase the Lions Roar feature. For 129 times your stake, you can begin the extremely volatile respin round with three Lion symbols to start.

Final Verdict

Born Wild fits the Hacksaw Gaming mould of recent games that look beautifully friendly with simple mechanics and extreme volatility. While Born Wild felt like it had a more frequent hit rate during our limited demo play than most of their recent releases, it also failed to offer anything different than before except the huge fixed jackpot, which, being attached to a bonus buy will probably draw a few headlines. However, a move in the wrong direction with multiple RTP versions such as 93.80% and lower, coupled with Hacksaw volatility probably won’t encourage lengthy playtime.
