Spring Wilds Slots
Spring Wilds is a 5-reel, 25-payline slot that revolves around bunnies, chicks, and Easter Eggs. Despite what the title suggests, this game isn't so much about wild symbols as it is Lucky Streaks. You can learn what the Lucky Streaks are and if this slot is worth playing in the following Spring Wilds review.
Gameplay
The 5x3 Spring Wilds grid includes 5 reels and 25 fixed paylines. You need 3 or more matching symbols in a payline to form a winning combination. All wins must start in the leftmost reel and move to the right. If 2 or more wins occur in a payline, only the highest one will count.
Graphics & Atmosphere
This game's background combines elements of the spring and sweets. You'll see a dirt road, green grass, sunny sky, and candy-covered houses in the backdrop. We're guessing that the candy aspect refers to the goodies given at Easter. The developer, RealTime Gaming (RTG), has done well to create a light-hearted and fun spring atmosphere.
Symbols & Max Win
Standards pays include six royals (A-10), a chick, lamb, pig, and bunny. The latter delivers the largest payout at 600x your line bet for five matches. An Easter egg serves as the wild symbol, substituting for other symbols to form wins. It only appears on reels 2, 3, and 4. Other special icons include a scatter (Easter basket) and game logo (bonus). The Spring Wilds max win is 50,000x the line bet, at which point any current feature and spin will stop.
Spring Wilds Slots Features
Extras include Lucky Streak and free spins, which you can learn about below:
- Lucky Streak Respins - You trigger this bonus by landing 6+ game logos anywhere on the grid. The triggering symbols remain in place while the reels respin. The respins continue so long as a new bonus symbol lands. This round ends when no more game logos appear, at which point you'll receive a payout ranging from 6x (6 symbols) to 400x (15 symbols) your total bet.
- Free spins - You'll unlock 10, 15, or 20 free games by landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols anywhere on the grid. This bonus comes with the added benefit of Lucky Streak Respins occurring more often. Free games are retriggered through another 3+ scatters.
Betting Options
This slot lets you change your bet per line from $0.25 to $62.50. A lightning bolt next to the spin button speeds up round results. Autoplay keeps the reels spinning automatically for anywhere from 5 to 100 spins. If you want to turn the music and sound effects on/off, you can access another menu (gear icon) in the lower right-hand corner.
RTP & Volatility
The Spring Wilds RTP ranges from 91% to 97%. We can't give you an exact figure, though, because this is the range that RealTime lets casino operators choose from. No volatility rating is available either, although we feel like it's a medium-to-high game based on our playing session and results.
Try the Demo Mode
You might be interested in trying this game and learning the nuances of the Lucky Streak feature. If so, some casinos with RTG software let you play for free before risking money. We're always advocates of demo play just to get a fee for a slot beforehand.

Verdict on Spring Wilds Slots
Spring Wilds is an interesting slot because it actually focuses somewhat on the season, versus similar games that are entirely about Easter. Therefore, we have to give it credit for the interesting theme. This game also offers a solid max in (50,000x the line bet) and a semi-unique Lucky Streak feature. We've seen similar bonuses throughout the industry, but streak-based features aren't that common. Spring Wilds could use another 1-2 bonuses besides Lucky Streak and free spins, but that's nitpicking an otherwise solid game. We give this slot an 8.5/10 rating and recommend trying it during the spring or anytime really.
