The grid has 5 reels and 4 rows, and the game offers 1,024 ways to win. Wins need at least 3 matching symbols in succession, starting from the leftmost reel and continuing to the right. Wild Bandito is set in a Day of the Dead, Mexican theme. Winning symbols explode after each win, new symbols drop from above, and the round is checked again, all within one spin.
Three or more Scatter symbols anywhere start 12 free spins, and each extra Scatter adds 2 more. Gold Framed symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 can turn into Wilds after a cascade win. The Progressive Multiplier starts at x1 each spin and rises by 1 after every winning cascade. In free spins, every regular symbol on the middle reel is Gold Framed.
A$100 staked on this slot returns A$96.73 over the long run on the 96.73% version, and this lobby runs that default version. The game rules screen names the version in play.

Play guide
Five steps from A$0.60 bet to payout, in the order a round resolves.
A$0.60 is the lowest bet and A$180 the highest, and the stake you pick scales every payout in the round. Free Spins later play at the same bet size.
1,024 fixed ways on the 5x4 grid need adjacent matching symbols from the leftmost reel, continuing right. Winning symbols explode, new ones drop in, and the round is checked again.
x1 starts every spin and rises by 1 after each cascade round that wins. Gold Framed symbols on reels 2 to 4 that paid transform into Wild symbols next round.
3 Scatter symbols anywhere start 12 free spins, and each extra Scatter adds 2 more. Regular symbols on reel 3 stay Gold Framed for the whole feature.
Smallest stake is A$0.60, so set a session budget before the first spin and stop when it is spent. Session results cannot be known in advance.

Once you finish this part, you will know how each bonus starts and how it plays out.
The base game runs on 5 reels x 4 rows with 1,024 fixed ways to win. Wins cascade: winning symbols explode, new ones drop in, and the round is evaluated again. The multiplier starts at x1 each spin and rises by 1 after every winning cascade round.
Game lobbyCascading wins
Free Spins start when 3+ Scatter symbols land anywhere, with 12 free spins plus 2 more for each additional Scatter beyond 3. The feature is played at the triggering spin's bet size and bet level. Reel 3 is always fully Gold Framed for the whole feature.
Base game12 free spins
Any paying symbol except Wild and Scatter can sit in a gold frame with a scalloped border on reels 2, 3 and/or 4, in base game and Free Spins. After a cascade, a framed symbol that was part of the win turns into a Wild on the next round.

Mid-feature look
5x4 grid screens are useful after the rules, when you want to see the feature in action.
The 96.73 RTP is a long-run figure over a very large number of spins, not a promise for one session. How often the Free Spins Feature comes is not known in advance. A session can open with no Scatter symbols at all, or with three in its first spin, and the result is random either way.
96.73 is the only RTP value listed for Wild Bandito here. The version running in this lobby is shown only in the game rules, so read those before the first spin and note the RTP they state.
x25,000 is the highest multiple of the bet this game can pay. It is a ceiling, reached very rarely, and no session can be planned around it. Read it as the outer edge of the pay range rather than an expected result.
Two ways to start
Razed Casino keeps both routes open, so you can learn the reels before any money moves.
A$1 of demo credit is worth nothing on Wild Bandito: the trial reels pay no money. Real play needs an account here and the 18+ age mark.
Play nowFour questions
Most players first ask what a bet costs and how big a win can get.
Wild Bandito takes bets from A$0.60 to A$180 a spin. The examples on this page use A$1, A$2 and A$10, and the paytable uses A$1. No bet above A$180 is accepted.
The top win is x25,000 of the bet. At the A$10 example bet that is A$250,000, and at the highest bet of A$180 it comes to A$4,500,000. These are ceilings set by the rules, and a round reaching them cannot be predicted.
Three or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels start the Free Spins Feature. You get 12 free spins, plus 2 more for each Scatter beyond the third. The feature plays at the triggering spin's bet size and level, and reel 3 stays Gold Framed throughout.
The rules of Wild Bandito are set out on this page, so you can read how each mode works before the first spin. Reading them commits you to nothing, and the lowest stake is A$0.60.
