PG Soft releases Super Wildrix slot with expanding wilds and multiplier wheel
The 5×5 video slot includes an Ante Bet option and Feature Buy, with a stated maximum win of 20,000x.
PG Soft has released Super Wildrix, a new 5×5 video slot built around expanding wild symbols and multiplier mechanics.
The title’s core mechanic is the Wildrix symbol, which lands with a x2 multiplier and expands to fill an entire reel. According to the company, all wins are multiplied by the total sum of active Wildrix multipliers when one or more expanded Wildrix symbols appear on the reels. Wild & Wildrix symbols substitute for all other symbols except Scatter.
A Free Spins Feature triggers with three, four or five Scatter symbols, awarding 10, 15 or 20 free spins. PG Soft said a Multiplier Wheel spins at the start of each free spin to reveal a multiplier between x2 and x100. If expanded Wildrix symbols land during the feature, their x2 multipliers are further multiplied by the wheel’s value before wins are paid. The feature can also award three extra spins if two Scatter symbols hit during free spins, and it can be re-triggered.
The game includes an Ante Bet option that increases the wager by 10x and, PG Soft said, guarantees at least one Wildrix symbol on every spin and free spin. A Feature Buy option allows direct access to the Free Spins Feature. PG Soft listed the maximum win as 20,000x the bet.
PG Soft’s spokesperson commented: “Super Wildrix is a heroically bold slot, putting players right in the middle of the action. The Expanding Wildrix symbol with its multiplier mechanics makes for real moments of excitement and the Multiplier Wheel during Free Spins can lead to some truly spectacular wins. We are thrilled to release a title that combines engaging gameplay with a story that really pulls players in from the first spin.”
