Born Wild

Hacksaw's Born Wild is a video slot featuring a grid of 5 reels and 4 rows with fixed paylines (20 paylines) that focus on wild animals. The lower-paying symbols represent animal sounds like Howl, Claw, Hisss, Grrr, and Roar in vibrant neon colors, while higher values are attributed to animal figures such as the wolf, rhinoceros, gorilla, tiger, and cobra as top symbols. The Wild symbol can substitute for regular symbols, and landing five Wilds results in a significant payout.

A key feature of the game is the Lion’s Roar: when three or more lions appear on the reels, a respin mode is triggered where all lions stick in place, and only new lions or empty spaces can show up. Each new lion grants an additional respin; if no new lions land, all existing lions transform into Wilds, followed by a series of extra spins. The Free Spins feature activates with three bear scatter symbols, awarding 10 free spins during which all Wilds that land become sticky and remain in place for the entire bonus round.

Players can also take advantage of a Bonus Buy option, allowing immediate access to the Lion’s Roar or Free Spins mode for a multiplied bet, depending on the location. Visually, Born Wild stands out with a dark background complemented by strong neon accents in the symbols, showcasing an urban graffiti style that deviates from traditional jungle themes. The audio effects during features heighten the excitement, particularly during respins or Free Spins. The potential for maximum winnings increases significantly when the various features align well, especially when many lions are collected for the Lion-to-Wild transformation.

You can try it for free in demo mode or play it for real money.
