Wild Bandito: How the Gold Frames and Free-Spin Multiplier Work

You read one site that called Wild Bandito high volatility and another that called it medium. The studio settles it, because PG Soft’s own page prints medium. The slot is not named on the signed-out PHPVIP screens, so everything below is from PG Soft.

Before you go: when two sources disagree, the studio’s own page outranks both.

Wild Bandito Slot: The Facts PG Soft Prints

You can check each row against the studio’s page. The two figures people most often quote wrongly are volatility and release date.

The date is printed month first on PG Soft’s timeline, which is why it reads 05.03 and not 5 March.

Before you go: when you cite a date, say which way round it is written.

The Free-Spin Multiplier

You may ask what makes the free spins matter. According to PG Soft the multiplier goes on increasing for the whole round, with gold-framed symbols as the second listed feature.

The point is the shape of the round: the multiplier climbs as it goes on, so later spins carry more weight than earlier ones. At a ₱10 stake, a 25000x result is ₱250,000, which is the ceiling that a long climb is aiming at.

1. Gold-framed symbols appear on the grid.
2. A free-spin round opens.
3. The multiplier keeps increasing as the round continues.

PG Soft’s summary leaves out the trigger count; the in-game info screen shows it.

Before you go: judge a free-spin round by how it ends, not by how it starts.

Medium or High: Why the Label Matters

You may think the word is a detail. It changes how you plan the stake.

1. Medium volatility means a spread of results that is moderate for a slot, with wins of several sizes.
2. High volatility means longer dry runs and larger rare wins.
3. PG Soft’s own page chooses medium for this game.

Planning for high volatility when the studio says medium costs you nothing, but planning for medium when a game is high costs a bankroll.

Before you go: when in doubt, size the stake for the more volatile reading.

Wild Bandito Compared With Similar Slots

You might want a game with the same ceiling and a different feel. Mahjong Ways, with the same 25000x, also tops out there on a 5x4 grid, but its multiplier climbs with cascades rather than gold frames. Fortune Tiger, a 3x3 game trades all of that for a smaller grid, and Wild Bounty Showdown’s 8x start opens its free spins at 8x.

To go further, use your login before you search, or register to search the tabs, and look for PG Soft there. Players must be 21 or older.

Before you go: two games with the same ceiling can ask very different things of your patience.
