Wild Card Gang Slot Overview

Wild Card Gang is a casino slot from BGaming set in a crime drama, following the story of the Wild Card mafia. The game is based on shows such as Peaky Blinders, with its mafia vibe; however, there is something strange about this world, such as the eerie card houses seen in the background. Here, you will find the Merge Up mechanic, which we have seen before in other BGaming releases, such as the titular Merge Up and Lucky 8 Merge Up games. This mechanic will help you form higher-paying symbols after landing a Cluster Pay, starting up the Cascading Reels in the process, so you can stack up on payouts and Multipliers until you’ve reached the max win of 5,000X the bet.

Set in a rainy and moody city where houses are made out of cards

Wild Card Gang Slot Information

In this strange, dark world, where houses are built out of card decks and suits, a criminal organization pulls the strings behind the scenes. As you spin, the members of the mafia will form wins and get promoted to the next level, all the while a dramatic soundtrack plays in the background. The game can be played on most desktops, notepads, and mobiles. Wins are made by landing 4 or more symbols adjacently vertically or horizontally to form a cluster.

The lower-paying symbols are clover, heart, diamond, and spade. Landing a win with 12 or more of the same symbols will pay out 5X to 20X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are the green Jack, the red Queen, the blue King, and the purple Ace. Landing a win with 12 or more of the same symbols will pay out 25X to 50X the bet. You’ll also be able to find or upgrade symbols into Scatter Symbols, letting you partake in the bonus game. But you can read more about that in the next section.

Free Spins

Merge Up

All symbols have a level ranging from 1-9, starting with the Clover 7 symbol and ending with the Scatter symbol. Whenever 4 or more of the same symbols form a Cluster Pay, some of the symbols will disappear, while the others form together to become symbols of the next level. 

Cascading Reels

After landing a Cluster Pay winning combination, new symbols fall from above, filling up the empty positions and increasing the chances of forming new winning combinations. This will continue until no more Cluster Pays have been formed, ending the spin.

Free Spins

Triggered by landing 4 or more Scatter Symbols, you will be awarded the Free Spins bonus game. During the Free Spins, any position where a winning cluster was formed is marked. If a marked position participates in another winning cluster, it obtains a 2X multiplier, doubling for each new winning cluster after that, up to a max multiplier of 128X. The mark remains until the end of the Free Spins.

4 Scatter Symbols = Awards the Free Spins with 15 initial spins.

5 Scatter Symbols = Awards the Free Spins with 18 initial spins.

6 Scatter Symbols = Awards the Free Spins with 20 initial spins.

You can also retrigger the feature during the bonus game by landing extra Scatter Symbols.

4 Scatter Symbols = Retriggers the Free Spins with 5 extra spins.

Wild Card Gang Slot Conclusion

Wild Card Gang is a wide step away from the Merge Up games, thematically that is, as the game does kind of play the same way, and that is because this game is a straight-up reskin of the original Merge Up. The crime drama story and the fitting deck of cards as symbols make for a great theme, but it doesn’t really help the case for it being a reskin to a game that was released almost 2 years prior. While the cool theme, setting, and soundtrack do make the game vastly different from its predecessor, when we start opening up the game's stats and features, we can kind of see where it sadly falls flat. 

We enjoyed Wild Card Gang and the other games in the series, as they sport a fair stat line across the board with a 32.89% hit frequency and a 97.25% RTP, as well as the 5,000X max win. However, it does grow kind of stale, having the same exact games being released with a new coat of paint, which is the biggest flaw we can give it, as the Merge Up feature is great and can lead to some really satisfying spins and big wins. If you’re a previous fan of the series, or if the mafia theme is alluring you in, we definitely recommend you giving this game a shot with the demo we host here on our website.

Wild Card Gang is a slot that features the Merge Up mechanic, offering a volatile Bonus Game with non-stop multipliers and a mafia theme to boot.
