Cheetah Wild
demo and specs

Cheetah Wild is a Pragmatic Play slot with a Safari theme, set for release on 8 October 2026. It uses the 1024 Ways mechanic, so there are 1,024 ways to win instead of a small set of fixed paylines. Matching symbols on neighbouring reels pay, and the many ways mean a single spin can land several wins at once.

The headline numbers are straightforward. The RTP is 96.50%, volatility is graded Low, and the maximum win is 5,000x your stake. Stakes start at 0.20 and rise to 240 per spin, which is a wide span for a slot pitched at the steadier end of the field.

A low-volatility safari slot with 1,024 ways and a 5,000x ceiling.

The listed features are wild symbols, scatter wins and bonus rounds. That is a compact set, and it points to a game built around frequent small and mid-sized returns, not a single huge hit.

Who is it aimed at? Mainly players who want a longer session from a modest budget, and those who find high-volatility slots too punishing. The safari theme is a familiar one, so the appeal here is in the maths and the ways layout more than a novel concept.

On the numbers, the studio has published the RTP, volatility grade, max win, ways count, mechanic and stake range. A hit rate and the detailed rules of the bonus rounds are not published.

The RTP is 96.50%, which is half a percentage point above the rough 96% UK average. In practice, that means the theoretical return is £96.50 for every £100 staked, leaving £3.50 as the house edge. Against a 96% game, the edge is £4.00 per £100, so the gap is small but real.

Over a long run that half-point matters more than it looks. Stake £1,000 in total and the theoretical return is £965. That is a long-run average across a very large number of spins, not a promise for any one session, and short sessions can finish well above or below it.

Volatility is graded Low. For this game that means the expectation is for wins to arrive more regularly and to be smaller on average, with shorter dry spells than a high-volatility slot would bring. The trade-off is that the balance rarely jumps sharply on a single spin.

The 1,024 ways support that profile. With so many routes to a payout on each spin, partial wins that return part of the stake should be a normal feature of play. Low volatility describes the studio's grade, and how it feels will depend on the bonus rounds, whose details are not published.

The maximum win is 5,000x stake. At the minimum stake of 0.20, that is a top prize of £1,000. At the maximum stake of 240, it is £1,200,000. The multiplier is fixed, so the cash value scales directly with what you bet.

A mid-range stake shows the same scaling. At £2 a spin the ceiling is £10,000, and at £10 it is £50,000. Reaching 5,000x is, by the nature of a ceiling, a rare event, and the studio has not published how often it can be expected.

No hit rate is published for Cheetah Wild, so there is no studio figure to quote and we have measured none. What can be said is that a Low volatility grade usually pairs with a more frequent hit pattern, but the actual frequency is unconfirmed.

The studio lists three named features. Here is what each is and how that kind of mechanic generally behaves:

• Wild symbols: a wild stands in for other symbols to complete a winning combination. On a ways slot that can join several routes at once, so one wild can lift more than one win on the same spin.
• Scatter wins: scatters pay for appearing in the required number, and they typically do not need to sit on adjacent reels the way ordinary ways symbols do. They are also the usual route into extra rounds.
• Bonus rounds: a bonus round is a separate feature phase triggered during play, with its own rules and often a better chance of a large return than the base game.

What the studio has not published matters here. We do not have the number of spins in a bonus round, the exact trigger, which reels the wilds appear on, or any multiplier values attached to the features. We will not guess at them, and this page is updated when the studio publishes them.

No buy feature appears in the published feature list. For reference, a bonus buy or feature buy is switched off for GB players at UKGC casinos, because the UK rules ban paying to jump straight into a bonus round. Spins have to be played through the base game.

Taken together, the three features suggest a base game that does most of the work. Wilds and scatters build the everyday wins across the 1,024 ways, while the bonus rounds supply the bigger moments, up to the 5,000x ceiling.

The base game uses 1024 Ways, so there are 1,024 ways to win and no fixed paylines to count. Between features, play is a steady loop of spins where wins form from matching symbols across adjacent reels. The grid dimensions are not part of the specs we hold, so we do not describe them.

The stake range is 0.20 to 240 per spin. At the low end, a small budget stretches across many spins, which suits the Low volatility grade and a relaxed session. At 0.20 a spin, £20 covers 100 spins.

The top end suits players who want larger sums moving on each spin and are comfortable with that. At 240, each spin stakes a large amount, and the 5,000x ceiling is worth £1,200,000. That is a very different level of risk from the minimum stake.

On bankroll, low volatility rewards patience more than a large single deposit. Pick a stake that gives you a few hundred spins from your budget, not a few dozen. That way the game's steadier return pattern has room to show, and one cold run does not end the session.

It is also sensible to set a loss limit and a time limit before you start. Low volatility can make losses feel slow, because balances drift down gradually, so a fixed budget matters just as much here as on a wilder slot.

On mobile, Pragmatic Play builds its slots for phones as standard, so Cheetah Wild is made to play on a handset as well as on desktop. The UK build rules apply on a phone exactly as they do on a computer, including no bonus buy and the spin-speed and display requirements for GB players.

Among 1024 Ways slots, Cheetah Wild sits at the steadier, lower-risk end of the field. Many slots on this mechanic push volatility up and chase a much bigger ceiling. This one goes the other way, with a Low grade and a 5,000x top prize that is modest by comparison.

That ceiling is the price of the steadier profile. A game that pays more often generally has less room to build a very large top prize, because the maths budget is spread across more frequent wins. Cheetah Wild's 5,000x is the cost of its smoother ride.

The RTP of 96.50% puts it slightly above the rough 96% UK average, which is a small point in its favour against a typical slot. It is a mild edge, not a big gap, and it does not change the basic character of the game.

So the question to ask is what kind of session you want. If you want the chance of a huge win on a single spin, there are riskier slots on this mechanic with a higher ceiling. If you want longer play and smaller swings, Cheetah Wild is built for that.

The similar-slots table that follows shows the real comparison figures for other games, so you can set the numbers side by side instead of relying on a general description.

It suits these kinds of player:

• Budget-conscious players who want a long session at a low stake, with 0.20 spins and a Low volatility grade.
• Players who like ways slots and want 1,024 routes to a win without tracking paylines.
• Anyone who wants a slightly above-average RTP of 96.50% and a safari theme without a punishing risk profile.
• Higher-stake players who want a steadier game, since stakes go up to 240 and the ceiling scales to £1,200,000.

Who should skip it? Players chasing a very large top prize will find the 5,000x ceiling limited next to high-volatility slots. Anyone who needs the bonus round details before they play should also wait, since the trigger and mechanics are not published. And if you want to buy straight into a bonus, that is not available to GB players at UKGC casinos.
