Slot Summary

A preference for medium volatility and a 96.2% RTP points toward Aurora Wilds, a 2019 Neon Valley Studios release that keeps its strongest changes inside ordinary spins. Expanding Wilds lock in place and award Respins, while a separate Bonus Wheel gives the 10-payline Nature slot another route away from routine line results.

How It Plays

Line combinations can pay from either direction across 10 paylines, provided the matching run begins from the appropriate outside reel and continues through adjacent positions.

The main interruption occurs when a Wild Symbol lands on a middle reel. It expands, locks that reel, and sends the remaining reels through a Respin.

Theme & Atmosphere

Nature and Animals frame Aurora Wilds as a northern wilderness game, with an aurora, mountains, water, and woodland life establishing a cold open-air setting.

The Ice imagery supplies the climate, while the Crown motif belongs to the prize layer rather than changing the quiet wilderness character of the main scene.

Features & Win Potential

Expanding Wilds fill an eligible reel and remain locked while the other reels Respin. Another Wild Symbol can extend the sequence with an additional locked reel.

The Wild Symbol substitutes for ordinary paying symbols but not the jackpot trigger, keeping the Respin feature separate from the Spin The Wheel condition.

Bonus & Free Spins

The Bonus Wheel begins when 3 jackpot triggers appear on their eligible reels. Spin The Wheel then selects one of the available jackpot outcomes.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (Medium). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (96.20%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (1,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
