Game Features

While light on features, Infective Wild is fun to play indeed. Fire it up and you’ll instantly be immersed into a Halloween atmosphere, led by decorations flanking the reels. The pumpkin head on the right makes it feel all too real, and the spooky soundtrack will fully immerse you into the atmosphere.

The main highlight is the eponymous feature. As you might guess, it’s a spreading wild feature which occurs when the wild lands in a position where it touches a cat or a raven horizontally or vertically. At that point, it turns these symbols wild, and if they touch other matching symbols, they’re turned wild too.

This feature can get fun pretty fast, as the wilds continue spreading on the grid. In our experience, it has led to some decent wins straight off the bat, as the wilds land more often than you think. On top of that, the wilds carry payouts that match the top-paying premium, so you can see how this feature can be rewarding.

Infective Wild also comes with a free spins bonus round. It’s triggered by three or more scatters. Right before the bonus round begins, a 3×3 grid will spin automatically and reveal a number of free spins for each cell – 1, 2, or 3. The numbers are then added collectively and you get your free spins number.

All wilds turn sticky during the bonus round. The sticky wilds are also infective wilds, which takes the bonus’ win potential further. Unfortunately, the feature can’t be retriggered. But, if you feel like going at it again, you can buy it for 120x the total bet.
