Pragmatic Play has added a new title to its slots portfolio with the launch of Forging Wilds, a 5x3 online slot set in a blacksmith’s workshop, released on 26th August 2024.
The game centres on a blacksmith character working at his forge, with wild symbols able to randomly become “forged”. When this happens, the wild triggers a random number of respins and stays in place, gaining a +1x multiplier after each respin until it eventually becomes unforged.
Bonus Feature Mechanics
Landing three to five hammer scatter symbols triggers a bonus round, which begins with a pool of between five and 15 wilds. Throughout the feature, the reels continue to respin, with a random number of wilds drawn from the pool and placed on the grid on each spin. These can also become forged, extending the respins and increasing multipliers further.
The bonus round concludes once the wild pool is empty and no forged wilds remain on screen. However, further scatter hits of three or more during the feature can award up to 15 additional wilds, prolonging the round and the potential for bigger wins.
Forging Wilds joins recent releases Sumo Supreme Megaways and Running Sushi as the latest addition to the supplier’s slots catalogue.
Company Comment
Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said the title introduces a new element to the company’s slot range through its combination of sticky wilds, incrementing multipliers, free respins and win potential of up to 10,000 times the bet.
Pragmatic Play states it releases up to eight new slot titles each month, alongside live casino and bingo content, with its full portfolio accessible through a single API.
