Wild Hills - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Wild Hills is another in a line of Casino Technology/CT Gaming slots that offer rock solid gameplay and a decent return if you can spin up a screen full of wilds.

The paytable symbols are split evenly between royals 9-A and the picture symbols including the eagle scatter and the wolf wild. Look out for these symbols to trigger free spins and wild wins with a 2x multiplier.

Scoring wins in this 5-reel, 10-payline slot is all about lining up matching symbols, with the wild replacing everything except the scatter. If that sounds straightforward, it is.

This is a classic pick up and play slot with classic gameplay. Even so you might want to play this free Casino Technology slots game in demo mode.

CT Gaming designs all their slots using HTML5 technology so Wild Hills is ready to roll on all your handheld gadgets.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Now more than ever we all love and value the great outdoors, and it doesn’t come much wilder than the wide open landscapes of the American West.

You can just glimpse the Wild Hills of the title in the distance, although the reels seem to be stuck on a bear’s behind judging from the fur around the reels!

CT Gaming have their own particular aesthetic and the picture symbols here fit that style with bold and hyper-realistic representations of wild animals including goats, gophers and rabbits.

As usual with slots from this developer, there’s a burst of intro music and a soundtrack to the free spins but most of the time it’s just the clunk of the reels for company.

RTP & Volatility

Risk takers will enjoy the combination of high volatility with 96.2% RTP. Stakes are friendly enough that more casual players will like a few spins too.

How to Play Wild Hills

1. As the game loads you’ll be asked if you want to play with sound, and make your choice to land on the game screen.

2. Look to the four corners of the reels as that’s where you’ll find the functionality in this game.

3. Top left is the dynamic paytable that adjusts payouts to reflect your bet.

4. Top right is the denomination - click or tap to play for higher or lower overall stakes.

5. Bottom left is the settings menu where you can:

- Choose to pay 5 to 1,000 autospins.

- Adjust your line bet using the plus and minus icons or play at max bet.

6. Select a total bet that fits with your session budget - that way you can enjoy your spins and protect your bankroll.

7. Hit the red spin button bottom right to enjoy your game.

Min & Max Bets + Top Wins

This slot gives you the chance to refine your bet strategy by playing at different line bets and denominations.

- Line bets run from 0.05 - 2.00
- Denominations are 0.01 or 0.05
- All paylines are fixed

Your minimum-maximum total bets are 0.50 to 20 credits per spin. The top wins in this slot all come from the wilds. 5 of a kind pays 1,000x your stake and all wild wins carry a 2x multiplier in the base game and 3x in the free spins.

As this is a high volatility slot you’d expect the free spins and the biggest multipliers not to land easily, and you’d be right.

In the base game the 5 a kind wins deliver the biggest potential:

- Wolf pays 1,000x
- Eagle pays 100x
- Both goats pay 75x
- Bird pays 40x
- Gopher & Rabbit pay 25x
- K & A pay 12.5
- 9-Q pay 10x

Bonus Features

Wild Hills keeps it simple with one base game modifier and a free spins feature.

Wild Hills wilds

The wild appears on all reels and substitutes for all symbols except the eagle scatter. Wild pays 1,000x your stake for 5 of a kind. Wild wins are double in the base game.

Free spins feature

Land 3, 4 or 5 eagle scatters anywhere in view to trigger the free spins feature. All free spin wins are tripled except for the wild wins. If 3 or more scatters appear during the free spins, another 15 free games are triggered.

Overall Review: Our Verdict

Wild Hills is another solid if unspectacular slot from CT Gaming.

It’s attractive to look at and the doubled wild wins and tripled free spin wins are certainly welcome. But we’re not sure what differentiates Wild Hills from all those other animal slots out there.

If you’re looking for a similar theme but incredible potential, head straight for Buffalo Rising Megaways for a 10,000x top prize.
