Pragmatic Play has hammered out its latest creation, “Forging Wilds,” a fiery 5×3 online slot that transports players to a master blacksmith’s workshop. This innovative game offers the potential for scorching wins up to 10,000x, forged through free respins and wilds with incrementing multipliers.
At the heart of the game stands the burly blacksmith, surrounded by his tools of the trade – the bellow, hammer, and anvil. The game’s unique mechanic revolves around wild symbols that can randomly transform into “forged” wilds. When this occurs, it ignites a chain of respins, with the forged wild locked in place. After each respin, the wild’s multiplier increases by 1x, continuing until it randomly cools down and becomes unforged.
The excitement intensifies when 3-5 hammer scatter symbols clash onto the reels, striking up the bonus game. Players start with a pool of 5-15 wilds, and the respins keep coming as long as forged wilds remain active or wilds are available in the pool. Each spin can randomly draw wilds from the pool onto the grid, potentially igniting into forged wilds and leading to even more respins and multipliers.
The feature only concludes when both the wild pool is depleted and no forged wilds remain on the screen. However, landing three or more scatters during this round can reignite the action, awarding up to 15 additional wilds.
“Forging Wilds” is the newest addition to Pragmatic Play’s award-winning slot portfolio, following on the heels of recent releases “Sumo Supreme Megaways™” and “Running Sushi.” With its unique theme and potentially lucrative features, this game is set to spark the interest of slots enthusiasts worldwide.
Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “Forging Wilds adds a new dimension to Pragmatic Play’s extensive and diverse range of slots, firing up sticky wilds with incrementing multipliers, free respins, and wins of up to 10,000x the bet.”
