Legacy of the Wild Slot

Join a bearded sorcerer and try and conjure up a magical jackpot in Legacy of the Wild, a 5 reel, 4 row, 20 payline slot game from Playtech. This fantasy adventure comes with collapsing reel re-spins as well as spreading wilds and up to 50 free spins. Start your quest, on all devices, from between 40p and £2,000 per spin.



With a sorcerer's workshop in the background, the reels in Legacy of the Wild have a magical feel. The lower value symbols are made up of 5 brightly coloured amulets. They're joined by a junior wizard, a mysterious woman in red, a grotesque demon creature and a horned devil. The most rewarding symbol is the Gandalf-esque sorcerer - land 2, 3, 4 or 5 of the bearded magic man for a payout of 5, 20, 100 or 750 coins.

Legacy of the Wild is played using a Collapsing Reels feature - after every winning spin, the successful symbols are removed and new symbols drop in to take their place. These collapses keep on coming as long as a new winning combination is created.

The Book of Wilds logo is the wild - it substitutes for all other symbols and offers payouts of 5, 20, 100 or 750 coins. It also shows some magical properties following each successive collapsing win. On the 2nd win, any wilds will expand and turn the symbol to the left wild too. On the 3rd wave, the wild will spread 1 position to the left and 1 position below.

On wave 4, the wild expands 1 space above, below and to the left. On winning wave 5 or more, the wild spreads 1 place above, below, left and right to create a 5 symbol, wild cross formation. This is known as the Book of Wilds feature.

If you manage to land at least 5 collapses in succession, you'll trigger the Free Games feature - the more collapses, the larger the number of free spins awarded:

  • 5 collapsing wins = 8 free spins
  • 6 collapsing wins = 10 free spins
  • 7 collapsing wins = 15 free spins
  • 8 collapsing wins = 20 free spins
  • 9 collapsing wins = 30 free spins
  • 10+ collapsing wins = 50 free spins

During the free spins, each wild that lands will spread to the full 5 symbol, cross formation. The Collapsing Reels are in play too to offer even more winning chances. By the way, keep track of how many consecutive wins you've had via the Wave-O-Meter to the left of the reels.

As you'd expect from a Playtech creation, Legacy of the Wild is a well-designed slot game - the graphics are very nicely done and the soundtrack has a suitably fantastical feel. The features aren't bad either. We found the free spins quite tricky to trigger but the full, 5 symbols wilds can make the feature a very interesting proposition.

There's plenty on offer in the base game courtesy of the Collapsing Reel re-spins which can deliver well in conjunction with the spreading wilds.

The name Legacy of the Wild conjures up something nature-themed rather than magical. The sorcery theme works well though. What you make of this game will largely come down to your thoughts on the collapsing reels game engine. If you enjoy the steady but repetitive action, then you'll find plenty to like from this wizard and his chums. If you like collapsing wins, Gonzo’s Quest by Net Entertainment is recommended.
