Relax Gaming launches Wild Hike slot for the adventurers amongst you

Relax Gaming is back with a new slot, and at a time when the industry and players are hungry for more trend-bucking games, too. This is why the studio has released the highly-thematic and feature-rich Wild Hike slot which will take you through a lush park full of vegetation and bustling with life.

The game comes with a six-by-four playing grid and high volatility. The average return-to-player (RTP) rate is set at 96%, and the maximum win you can score playing here is 20,000x. The game is nature-themed and offers players a chance to collect three or four scatters and be rewarded a number of free spins, anything between seven and ten freebies, to give hikers a boost to their journey in the wilderness.

The multipliers will help further top off any potential winnings, and there are also the expanded wilds that keep adding to the experience and excitement of the overall game. The expanding wilds will increase by 1x on every re-spin they trigger, provided that those respins are consecutive.

Wild Hike also has a buy feature that enables you to access the free spins, which are granted at the cost of 75 times the player bet. There are also wild free spins that you can purchase. Commenting on this new launch, Shelley Hannah, Relax Gaming’s Director of Casino Products, said that the company was very excited to welcome Wild Hike as part of Relax’s original in-house products.

"Loaded with features, offering free spins and expanding wilds aplenty, this release will certainly hit the right notes and maintain a high level of excitement as players hike their way to the big potential payout," Hannah explained.

Relax Gaming has been in the news a lot – not only through the creation of its own original slots but also through the expansion of its aggregation services. The company added Galaxsys as a member of its Powered by Relax program in January, a few months after it did Octopus Global.

Speaking of Relax Gaming’s original creations, the company has teamed up with AboutSLOTS, vowing to deliver the next "slot of the year" game, resonating with the company’s commitment to building innovative products. In an interview with Relax Gaming CEO Simon Hammon last year, Casino Guru News learned that a big part of suppliers’ efforts this year ought to focus on expansion in North America.
