How the Game Plays

The Wild Life Extreme is an African safari-themed slot from Igt that serves as a sequel to the popular The Wild Life. Set against a dramatic Serengeti sunset, the game features realistic wildlife symbols including zebras, giraffes, rhinos, and elephants. Unlike most traditional slots, this game uses a "pays both ways" mechanic, allowing winning combinations to form from both the leftmost and rightmost reels. The central gameplay revolves around the Lion Wild, which appears on the middle three reels and expands to fill the entire column whenever it contributes to a win.

Free Spins Explained

The Free Spins bonus is triggered by landing three or more Africa Map scatter symbols anywhere on the reels, awarding up to 20 spins. During this round, the grid expands to include a fourth row, effectively doubling the active paylines from 5 to 10. The most significant change in the bonus is the behavior of the expanding wilds; once a Lion lands and expands, it becomes sticky, remaining locked in place for all remaining free spins to maximize winning potential.

Random Wild Drop Feature

At any point during the base game, a random feature can cause the screen to shake, dropping one to three Lion symbols onto the middle reels. If these symbols contribute to a win, they immediately expand as they would in the normal game, providing a sudden boost to potential payouts without requiring a bonus trigger.
