Pragmatic Play unveils Cheetah Wild slot with multiplying wilds and five-level Level Up feature

Pragmatic Play has published official mechanics details for Cheetah Wild, a safari-themed slot built around multiplying wild symbols and a progressive “Level Up” bonus feature.

Wilds on reels 2-4 can carry multipliers of up to 3x and if more than one features in a winning combination, their values multiply each other before boosting wins.

Wilds and collect symbols

According to the game description, wilds landing on reels 2-4 can carry multiplier values up to 3x, and when more than one multiplier wild lands in the same winning combination, their values multiply each other before the win is boosted. Separately, a collect symbol on the first reel adds up the values of any adjacent money symbols or wilds, with those values boosted by multiplier wilds present, and the game states values up to 100x can appear this way.

Level Up free spins feature

Landing 3-5 scatters triggers the bonus game, awarding 8-20 free spins; landing 2-5 scatters during the feature itself retriggers an additional 5-20 spins, with up to 20 retriggerable in total. During the round, Level Up symbols that hit are added to a meter and replaced by money symbols. Pragmatic Play’s game page states that collecting a total of 4, 7, 13 and 15 Level Up symbols unlocks progressive levels, up to five in total, with certain high-paying symbols transforming into money symbols at each stage. At level five, money symbols replace all high-paying symbols until the feature ends.

What this means

Players tracking the bonus round can watch the Level Up meter against the printed thresholds of 4, 7, 13 and 15 symbols to gauge how close the feature is to converting high-paying symbols into money symbols for the rest of the round. The RTP of 96.50% is the only payout-related figure the game page discloses.
