Wild One is the latest online slot game by leading Swedish game developer Yggdrasil Gaming in partnership with Peter & Sons. It comes with no less than 1,024 paylines and several types of wilds.
This slot game has a sad story to go with it. It tells the story of survivors who have managed to survive some grand collapse and are now coming out of the woodworks to revive some old clans and kick off new wars.
However, while the story itself may sound a tad sad, this game is mostly about rock n roll, where we have the main protagonists rocking out in a car graveyard.
Set across 5 reels and 4 rows, this game provides players with 1,024 ways to win and a 10,000x jackpot. The volatility of this game is through the roof, but that also goes hand-in-hand with a payout percentage of 96%, which is not bad at all.
Along the way, you will come across cascading reels, various wilds, multipliers and free spins bonus rounds.
The lowest paying symbols as always are the game card suits while the highest paying symbols include the wilds and the various characters that pop up on the reels.

Wild One free spins
Triggering the free spins bonus rounds works just like in any other game. Landing three or more scatter symbols will earn you a spot in the free spins bonus round. Landing three scatters awards you 10 free spins.
Each extra scatter earns you one extra free spin. You also have the option to trigger additional free spins by landing three or more scatters on another spin.
Landing two scatters on a single spin triggers the Bomb feature, which we will discuss below. Furthermore, the Wild reels can have multipliers of between 1 to 10x.
Wild One Bonus features
Wild One is packed with in-game features and mechanics that can help reel in big wins. These include:
Wild Reel
The Wild Reel can contain any type of Wilds, including Expanding Wilds, Unbreakable WIlds and Blanks along with multipliers that highly depend on the tier that the players are on. Tiers award you in the following manner:
- Tier 0: The reel can have both wilds and blanks
- Tier 1: The reel can have wilds with multipliers and blanks
- Tier 2: The reel can have wilds, Unbreakable Wilds with multipliers and blanks
- Tier 3: The reel can have wilds, Unbreakable wilds, Expanding wilds with multipliers and blanks
Unbreakable Wild
This type of wild stay put even if they form part of a winning combination. They will stay in place until the cascade has run its course.
Expanding Wild
Expanding wilds cover an entire reel. They cannot convert any scatters or Unbreakable wilds.
Bomb Feature
When two scatters are on the reels at the end of a cascade, they are collected and blow up wherever they are removing any symbols in a 3×3 square around them. They also trigger a cascade and the two bomb features also boost your tier level of the wild reel.
Cascades
All winning combinations activate a cascade. All participating winning symbols are removed from the reels, with symbols available in the Wild Reel drop drown first and replace the gaps.
These are then followed by symbols from the cascading reels to replace the remaining gaps. The Cascades keep on going until no more winning combinations are achieved.
Wild One RTP
The Wild One RTP stands at an average of 96%. This is a highly volatile slot game so players can expect big wins on an infrequent basis.
Verdict
Since the online slot game has not been released yet, we can only base our opinion on the information supplied by Yggdrasil Gaming. If you love themes of dystopia and online slot games that are packed with features this may be it.
Wild One is quite unique and the few images that have been released make it quite appealing. If you are the type of player who gets easily bored by traditional video slots with the same in-game features, Wild One gives you plenty of features.
Even so, you don’t have to look forward to the free spins bonus round to experience these features. The base game is also packed with many features. The various types of wilds in this game ensure that wins will keep on rolling in.
Overall, it remains to be seen. We must admit that this is one slot game that quite thrills us without having played it. The high volatility may not be to everyone’s liking, but when you factor in the many wild symbols on offer, you may close an eye to the variance.
This is one slot game that has the potential to become one of the top games for 2024.
