Wild Heart Slot Overview
Wild Heart is a 2024 release from BGaming built around a Zorro-inspired raccoon set in a small Mexican town at night. The grid is a standard 5x4 with 20 fixed paylines, an RTP of 96.92% and medium to high volatility. Max win sits at 2820x the bet.
Symbols and Paytable
Royals 10 through A occupy the low end, with 5 of a kind paying just 3x the bet. Premiums include a green hand fan, a hat, a rose, a bag of gold, a female rabbit, a guitar and the raccoon, paying between 6x and 20x for five matching icons. The raccoon can land stacked up to 1x4.
The red Wild heart pays directly for two or more anywhere on the reels, returning 0.1x, 2x, 5x or 20x for two to five symbols. The black stallion Scatter only appears on reels 1, 3 and 5, and the Heart Symbol acts as the trigger for the Wild Frames cycle rather than paying on its own.
Symbol Payouts
Wild Frames and Extra Multiplier
Every base spin counts towards a 10-spin cycle shown above the reels. When a Heart Symbol lands, that position receives a golden frame that sticks for the rest of the cycle. On the 10th spin, all framed cells convert into Wilds at once, often producing the biggest base game hits.
Extra Multiplier starts at 1x and rises by 1x whenever a Heart lands on an already framed position. It applies to both base and bonus wins and carries over to Free Spins if triggered. After the 10th spin the frames clear and the multiplier resets, which adds tension as the counter ticks down.
Bonus Buy Options

Multiplier above the reels grows by 1x each time a Heart lands on a framed position; carried into the bonus.
Free Spins and Feature Buy
Three or more Scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5 award 10 free spins. Each Wild that lands becomes sticky and stays put until the round ends. The Extra Multiplier value carried over from the base game is locked in, and the round cannot be retriggered, which is a notable limitation given the medium-high variance.
Players in a hurry can use the Feature Buy. 50x the bet buys plain Free Spins at 97.02% RTP, 120x adds a 2x2 Wild block at 97.03%, and 400x drops in a 3x3 Wild block at 96.98%. Not everyone will enjoy the price jump, but the tiered approach is a smart design choice from BGaming.
