About Wild Hike
How does Wild Hike stack up? At 96.93% RTP and 45,982x max win, this High volatility slot from Relax earns a 85.5/100 value rating.
Wild Hike is a 6-reel, 4-row slot from Relax Gaming with 4,096 ways to win, formed by landing at least three matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the left. Premium symbols include forest animals like owls, deer, boars, bears, and wolves, paying up to 10x the bet for six of a kind, while low pays are card royals from 10 to A. Wilds appear on the four central reels as howling wolves, substituting for regular symbols. The core mechanic triggers when a wild lands on reel 3 or 4 as part of a win: it expands to cover the entire reel, awards a respin, and carries a multiplier that increases by +1 on each subsequent respin until no new wins form; if both reels expand simultaneously, their multipliers multiply each other. Free spins activate with 3 or 4 scatters for 7 or 10 spins, where landing scatters retriggers +1 spin each, and achieved multipliers persist and accumulate above reels 3 and 4 for the feature's duration, carrying over from base game respins if triggered during one. A bonus buy option allows direct purchase of free spins at 75x the bet. Visually, the game evokes a moonlit winter forest hike with a chilly, atmospheric style featuring natural woodland elements and animal motifs. It stands out through persistent multiplier progression in free spins and multiplicative dual expanding wilds, enabling rapid escalation toward the 20,000x maximum win in high volatility play.
