Wild Ape #3258 Slot Review

Wild Ape #3258 Slot Game

Wild Ape #3258 has up to 32,400 ways to win, collapsing reels and a large Wild Bored Ape symbol locked in the centre of the grid.

The number of ways ranges from 256 to 32,400 as symbol sizes change.

The symbols in Wild Ape will come in stacks of 1, 2, or 3 blocks. Whenever you land a win, a tumbling sequence will begin, removing the winning symbols and awarding a free respin.

Wild Ape #3258 Bonus Features

Wild Transformation, Wild Bored Ape and free spins are the main features. PG Soft’s guide also documents Feature Buy: where available, the purchase menu displays the price for entering free spins.

Before exploring each bonus feature in more detail, here’s the TLDR version:

• Wild Transformation: when you get a winning combination with gold-framed symbols, they turn into single-use Wilds
• Wild Bored Ape: the Wild Ape block in the middle sticks through the entire game. To unlock it, string two tumbling wins together and enjoy progressively increasing multipliers with every consecutive win. 
• Free Spins: get 10 free spins when you collect at least 4 scatter symbols. The Wild Bored Ape stack will start with a 2x multiplier and the global multiplier will rise by +2 for every win. 

Wild Transformation

I must admit that it was initially hard to notice that some symbols were outlined in gold when I first tested the Wild Ape #3258 slot since the graphics are pretty vivid and colorful. However, after I got my first win, I noticed that a stack of (golden) Pizza symbols turned into an Ape. I was happy that I got a free tumble and one padlock down. 

Gold frames can appear on regular symbols on reels 2–5. If a gold-framed symbol forms part of a win, it becomes a wild for the next cascade. Wild and scatter symbols are excluded from this transformation.

Wild Bored Ape

As soon as you launch Wild Ape #3258, you’ll see the animation of our protagonist, the “Bored Ape #3258” locked behind two padlocks at the center of the playfield. I guess this is meant to showcase the elusiveness of the coveted NFT the devs bought in 2022, but it’s more than just a trophy - it’s the main bonus feature of this slot. 

At the start of a base-game spin, Wild Bored Ape is locked by two padlocks. Two consecutive winning rounds unlock it for the third round. Once active, its multiplier starts at 2x and increases by 2 after each subsequent winning round.

Free Spins

Four scatters appearing together trigger 10 free spins, with two more for each additional scatter. The feature can be retriggered.

During free spins, Wild Bored Ape begins active at 2x and the multiplier increases by 2 after each winning round.

How to Win at Wild Ape #3258 Slot

Wild Ape #3258 can have anywhere from 256 to 32,400 ways to win; the number of active ways changes with every “tumble”, not just every spin. All symbols pay in threes, which is ordinary, but I’d prefer it if the super-major ones like Crown would start paying in twos, even if it’s pocket change. 

I also think that the Wild Transformation feature works in perfect harmony with the tumbling system; it helped me get plenty of respins I’d normally lose. 

Wild Ape #3258 Slot RTP & Volatility

PG Soft’s guide lists a 96.73% theoretical RTP and high volatility. RTP is a long-term mathematical return; a personal test session cannot verify it or predict future results. Bonus features do not prevent losses. Check the in-game rules for the version you play.

Final Thoughts

I’m into cryptocurrencies and blockchain tech, but I dislike NFTs with a passion. It took a while to get over these grudges to fully immerse myself into this wonderful slot, and to be fair, its outstanding payouts had me bought quickly. 

Wild Ape #3258 combines a distinctive theme with variable ways, wild transformations and increasing multipliers. Feature Buy is documented in PG Soft’s current guide, although availability and pricing depend on the version offered. Check those details before deciding whether to play.
