Born Wild is an urban-themed slot from Hacksaw Gaming, and it plays out on a 5x4 grid with 20 paylines. The bonus round comes with sticky wilds for single spin payouts up to 5,000x your stake, while the Lion’s Roar Respins feature holds an eye-popping €10 million potential. The price you pay is extreme volatility combined with a 93.8 % RTP, and you can find out more in our full review below.

Born Wild Review
Hacksaw Gaming is one of those unpredictable developers we always keep an extra eye on. Their transitions from online scratch cards to video slots has been pretty successful, and they are known for quirky, yet simple, games with a distinct visual style. The minimalist visuals in Born Wild reminds us of animal sticker tattoos from some urban 80’s magazine, and the mild soundtrack will probably take some players by surprise.
The big attraction is the €10,000,000 jackpot up for grabs in the Hold & Respin-style Lion’s Roar feature. We would love to know some more stats on this thing before chasing it too much however, but not much is available at this point. It has certainly impacted the unusually low 93.8 % RTP though, and it will be interesting to see how crackable this staggering potential really is when push comes to shove.

Wilds are the highest value symbols by far in this game, and 5 on a payline awards 250x your stake. Naturally, the wilds also step in for all regular pay symbols to help complete winning combinations. In comparison, landing 5 premiums on a payline awards only 10 to 25 times your stake.

The Free Spins round is triggered when you land 3 bear scatters anywhere in sight.
You get 10 free spins, and all wilds that land become sticky for the duration of the feature. This increases your chances of landing larger wild wins, at least more so than in the base game.The Lion’s Roar Respins feature is probably your best bet for big wins however, and it’s triggered when you land 3+ lion symbols anywhere in sight. The triggering lions turn sticky, and you’re granted 1 respin life. Only lion symbols or blanks will land, and each new lion symbol resets the respins tally to 1 again.
There are only 2 outcomes from this feature, and one of them can add a cool €10 million to your bankroll. You win this massive jackpot if you manage to fill all 20 reel positions with lion symbols, but don’t expect that to happen very often.
The more likely outcome is that you run out of respins. This converts all sticky lion symbols into sticky wilds for a final respin, with regular symbols landing in the remaining reel positions.Non-UK players can purchase the Lion’s Roar Respins feature for 129x the stake. If applicable in your jurisdiction, you can thus skip the base game altogether. The Free Spins round cannot be purchased however, and the RTP remains at the rather low 93.78 % even if you take advantage of the bonus buy option.
The 200 Spins Born Wild Slot Experience
After some initial smaller wins, we trigger the Lion’s Roar Respins around 0:30 into the 3-minute highlights video. While we didn’t win the grand jackpot, we certainly got a solid sum out of it anyway. At 2:13 you can see the free spins round play out, but our returns there were far less memorable. Check it all out below by hitting the play button!
Review Summary
The insane mood swings this simple, yet enigmatic, creation is capable of will certainly contaminate anyone going up against the equally insane €10,000,000 potential. The sticky wilds bonus round seems more like a side-show in Born Wild, but payouts up to 5,000x your stake are possible should you fill the screen with wilds.
While certainly living up to its name in most other departments, the meditative soundtrack is hardly inspired by Steppenwolf’s one-hit wonder.Most everything revolves around cutthroat Lion’s Roar Respins feature, where you’re walking the razor’s edge with only 1 respin life. We paid €129 for the feature plenty of times, and getting below €10 in return is far from uncommon. A sudden big win spike can come about once in a while, but this is not a “break-even” feature you can buy and buy without a massive bankroll. The eye-watering €10M jackpot is a tough pursuit in other words, not least due to the 93.8 % RTP.
Pros
- Free spins w/ sticky wilds
- Hold & Respin feature w/ €10M jackpot
- Regular max win is 5,000x your stake
- Buy Respins feature for 129x (not UK)
Cons
- Extremely unpredictable and volatile
- RTP of 93.8 % is well below average

Born Wild Slot FAQs
What is the Return to Player of Born Wild?
The 93.8 % RTP is well below average, but it’s not unheard of when such a massive jackpot is involved.
How volatile is Born Wild?
This is a highly volatile game for sure, and it’s also very unpredictable and “moody”.
What is the biggest win possible?
The Lion’s Roar Respins jackpot is worth €10 million, while the regular single spin max win is 5,000x your stake. Without a screen full of wilds, 500x is the most you can win in a single spin, however.
How does the Lion’s Roar Respins feature work?
The 3+ triggering lion symbols become sticky, and you get 1 respin life. The aim is to fill the screen with lion symbols, as this lands you the €10M jackpot. If you run out of respins before that, all sticky lion symbols turn wild for a final respin.
Is there a free spins mode in Born Wild?
Yes, you can win 10 free spins, and all wilds that land become sticky for the duration of the feature.
Can I play Born Wild Slot for free?
Yes, you can check out the free Born Wild demo game at the very top of this page (UK players must verify age first). Up there, you’ll also find casinos that carry this title, something we’ve confirmed for you.
