Picture a candy shop launched into orbit. That's basically Galactic Wilds from Relax Gaming, a 5×4 slot where chewy gummy bears float around planets inside a glowing cyan glass cylinder. Released in March 2024, it runs on 20 paylines that double to 40 once you hit the bonus, and the RTP sits at 96.10%. Volatility? High. So expect long stretches of nothing followed by chunky payouts.
The bet range is 0.20 to 200 EUR per spin, which covers casual players and high rollers without feeling restrictive. Max win caps at 5,000x your stake. Not the biggest number on the market, but reasonable for a non-buy-bonus slot.
This is where Galactic Wilds gets interesting. Three separate Free Spin variants exist, each tied to a different Bonus symbol colour. ORBIT starts you with 6 spins and 2 Wild reels, ASTRO gives 6 spins with 3 Wild reels, and COSMIC opens with 21+ spins plus 3 Wild reels. To trigger any of them you need 2 Bonus symbols on reels 2 and 3, then a matching variant lands on reel 4.
Here's the clever bit. Extra Bonus symbols stockpile in three separate counters above the reels during base play, and whichever variant triggers carries those collected spins into the bonus on top of the minimum. So a lucky COSMIC trigger after collecting a fat counter can balloon way past 21 spins. Wild reels appear randomly each spin during the feature, locking in serious win potential.
In base play a Wild Ignite feature can fire randomly between spins, dropping the matching Wild reel count for one of the three counters into a single base spin as a freebie. There's also an alternative bonus route via a Wheel symbol on reel 4, which spins a 14-segment wheel mixing cash prizes with direct entries to the Free Spin tiers. It's a nice escape hatch when the standard trigger refuses to cooperate.
No buy bonus option exists, which will annoy some players and please others. I lean towards pleased, honestly. Forces you to actually grind for the feature.
The visual style splits opinions. Gummy bears in space sounds ridiculous on paper, but the cyan reel housing and minimalist starfield backdrop pull it together. Audio stays out of the way, which is rare for cosmic-themed slots that usually drown you in synth pads. Solid mid-tier release from Relax, worth a spin if you enjoy variance with structure.
