Slot machine details and review Wild Pounce
Wild Pounce is a slot machine designed by Evoplay. It’s a wildlife and jungle-themed online slot, with five reels, where the jaguar is the lead character, and where gemstones are present in the more valuable symbols. The game area presented to you is on the larger side, with 5×4 reels, and it has 25 paylines within.
Every slot machine must be developed by a company that invented, designed and put it into operation. Many players eventually find that they only enjoy playing on machines from specific software provider, so they narrow down their selection by preferred brand.
A high volatility slot. Wins are rare, but can be really big. The game has more pronounced fluctuations and can often go without hitting anything for a long time, suitable for players who like adrenaline, higher risk and work with a larger budget. More about volatility here.
Slot theme and symbols
The visuals start off well enough, with a background image that features the jungle’s rich vegetation, and with a major symbol (the wild) that has a jaguar in it. That’s the part that looks like it belongs, but as you can see for yourself in pictures or the slot’s demo, the regular symbols don’t do nearly as much to keep things fun. The 8 symbols it uses are of two types, either with gemstones or Royals, all of them using some shade of either green or blue.
Wild Pounce theme and symbols
Wild Pounce is not the type of slot you should check out as a beginner, since its High volatility marks it as a game that is on the risky side. You should expect lots of losing rounds and sessions, with a small chance of hitting a top jackpot that paid up to 7,203.6x the stake during testing. Overall, it has OK odds, with the 96.12% RTP telling us that it pays back a fair amount to the players who try it out.

Scatter Symbol
WILD symbol
Jaguar Wilds can show up on all reels, and are excellent as either substitute symbols or for their own wins (they pay up to 10x, the same as the best regular symbol). Their substitution ability works on all regular symbols.
Scatter symbol
The scatter symbol is easy to find when it does show up. It has the Free Spins logo on it, and it can land on all the reels.
Free Spins
Depending on the number of triggering scatters, with 3, 4, or 5 possible, you can get 8, 10, or 12 free spins from them. The main difference is that for this mode, you get Jumping Wilds. These are Jaguar Wilds that come in Green or Golden variants. They still act as substitutes, but they also move to a different spot each round. Whenever a new Green Jaguar appears, you also get 1 extra spin, while a Golden Jaguar will improve the multiplier by 1x and will also give you extra rounds. The number of Wilds is capped at 12, while the multiplier doesn’t go higher than 9x.
Bonus Chance
The game gives you a way to double the chances of triggering the free spins, but you will have to pay 80% more for it. The option you need to use for this is called Bonus Chance.
Bonus Buy
You also have your pick of one of the three types of free spins. You can get 8 free spins if you pay 58x the stake, 10 spins for 90x, or 12 spins for 130x.

Our rating of the game
Wild Pounce
While the top prize, worth 7,203.6x the round’s stake, is a good outcome even for a slot that has High volatility, I’m not entirely pleased with its design choices or with how unique its features are. The Jumping Wilds are the only ones that are a bit different, and those you only get during free spins, if you do trigger them. It’s a fair slot, with the RTP at 96.12%, but it’s just not fun enough to be for everyone. If you’re an experienced player who doesn’t mind its High volatility, you may want to check it out and see what it’s like, but it’s not a game I’d recommend to everyone.

How do we rate slot machines?
We evaluate slot machines based on multiple criteria, from which we make our final verdict.
It can pay up to 7,203.6x the round’s stake, which is a pretty good top prize for a slot.
The RTP is 96.12%, and that’s a decent long-term return for an online game of this type.
The Jumping Wilds that are offered during free spins are sticky and come with extra spins or multipliers.
A Bonus Chance option is available, which can double the odds of the free spins triggering.
There is the option to purchase the free spins feature in versions with 8 to 12 rounds.
Cons
Highly volatile, it’s going to be a losing proposition for most players who try it out.
Disappointing selection of symbols, with Royals and gemstones used for all regular combinations.
Boring features, for the most part, with wilds and free spins being the only ones offered.
