Tom Horn Gaming Releases Wild Tribe Wall
Tom Horn Gaming has released Wild Tribe Wall, a brand-new 5×5 scatter pays slot that takes players deep into a mysterious rainforest, where ancient tribes guard powerful riches.
Wild Tribe Wall is packed with engaging mechanics and introduces a completely reworked UX and UI, designed to make gameplay faster, cleaner and more intuitive. Key features are available instantly, cutting out unnecessary clicks and keeping players fully focused on the action.
Gameplay options such as Infinity Spins and Turbo Mode are now accessible with a single click. Bonus Buy has also been streamlined, with three clearly visible buttons – Buy Free Spins, Free Spins Booster and QuickX – placed directly under the reels for immediate access without disrupting the gameplay flow.
Wild multipliers and distinct bonus buy options
Wild multipliers range from x1 up to x50 and substitute for all symbols except Scatters. When multiple wilds land in a winning combination, their values are added together.
The bonus system adds depth and progression. Free Spins, triggered by three scatters, are fully retriggerable, while Super Free Spins, activated by four scatters, remove lower multipliers and guarantee only high-value wild multipliers on the reels, significantly increasing win potential. Players can also buy direct access to Free Spins or Super Free Spins, activate the Free Spins Booster for a higher bonus trigger chance, or enable QuickX to guarantee wild multipliers on every spin for maximum intensity.
“With Wild Tribe Wall, we focused on creating a more intuitive, user-friendly game that simply feels great to play. By reworking the UX and making features instantly accessible, we’ve removed friction from the experience. Combined with frequent wins and strong visuals, the game leaves players feeling genuinely satisfied with the gameplay,” said Ondrej Lapides, CEO at Tom Horn Gaming.
Built to deliver frequent wins and consistent engagement, Wild Tribe Wall offers a highly satisfying gameplay rhythm. A strong hit rate, combined with wild multipliers, BlastX and layered bonus features, ensures wins are regular, impactful and easy to follow from the very first spin.
