I’m not going to pretend I’m fully up to speed with blockchain technology or cryptocurrencies, as I’ll probably just embarrass myself. However, I can tell you the latest slot to hit my in-tray is themed on a popular NFT collection, which, I guess, is pretty cool if you know what one of those is and what they’re all about. That NFT collection is the Bored Ape Yacht Club, which currently consists of 10,000 unique NFTs based on the Bored Ape you’ll see in this Wild Ape #3258 slot from PGSoft. Whether you’re into the theme or not, I think most of you will sit up and take notice when I delve into the core stats of this slot. Wild Ape is a 6-reel, 6-row slot with up to 32,400 ways to win, a 96.75% RTP, and a 10,000x the bet max win.
If you’ve played previous PG Soft titles, you’ll probably recognise some of the mechanics and bonus features featured in this latest release. Framed symbols and wild transformations return; there is a Megaways-like random reel modifier mechanic alongside a tumble feature and a Wild Bored Ape with a progressive win multiplier. All of those combine in a main free spins bonus, although this time, the bored ape is set free from the start, and his progressive wild win multiplier will not reset between spins.
PG Soft has released many exciting slots in recent years, and this one looks like it could prove to be another. The best to establish that for certain is to check out the slot's bonus features, mechanics, and theme in the Wild Ape #3258 slot demo below.

So the NFT collection this slot is themed on comprises digital images of a bored ape, is that right? Why is the ape bored? Perhaps modelling for over 10,000 images? Who knows, but if I were him, I’d be looking to hook up with some of the other animals here at PG Slot to help pass the time. If you need a little reminder of who these are, head over to the Fortune Dragon demo, Fortune Rabbit demo, and Fortune Tiger demo to refresh your memory.
Let's get back on topic by telling you more about the Wild Ape #3258 slot. I’ll start at the paytable before filling you in on all the exciting bonus features you can look forward to. The Crown has the best possible payout, which is 7.5x for a six symbol combo. Next is a Watch that returns 2.5x for a line of six, a Bottle of Spirits that pays up to 1.5x, and a Cocktail that delivers a max win of 1x. The last of the premium symbols are the Pizza and Banana, for which both pay 0.75x for a full line of six. Onto the low payers, and the Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and Ten offer the same 0.2x payout for a combination of six symbols across a payline. The reels also contain a Wild symbol, which helps create payouts by substituting for all regular symbols.
You can choose a bet of between €0.60 and €180.00 per spin when playing the Wild Ape #3258 slot demo. However, I’m pretty confident that will differ when playing for real money - as I expect you’ll have the option to spin for less than that minimum.
Not for the first time, PG Soft has gone with a random reel modifier mechanic to determine payouts. Each of the six reels can hold between two and six symbols, meaning you’ll spin with between 256 and 32,400 ways to win in play. Whenever three or more of the same type of regular symbol lands on consecutive reels starting from the first reel, you’ll receive a payout.
Alongside that mechanic is a tumble feature that removes all winning symbols from the reels. New symbols that drop in from above soon fill the empty positions left behind and could produce further wins, seeing the process repeat.
PG Soft has also brought back the framed symbols mechanic that was popular in many of the developer’s previous titles. Random symbols on the four middle reels may land with a gold frame, and if they’re part of a winning combination, those symbols transform into wilds.
Smack, bang in the middle of the 6x6 Wild Ape #3258 grid matrix is a 2x2-sized Bored Ape wild symbol initially locked at the start of every spin. The symbol activates once two winning combinations have occurred on the same spin and initially holds a 2x win multiplier that will apply to any wins it helps create. Furthermore, any additional win after the symbol activates will increase the symbol's multiplier value by 2x. The Bored Ape returns to its original locked state at the start of a new spin.
If four scatter symbols land anywhere in view, you’ll receive 10 free spins and a further 2 spins for each extra triggering scatter symbol.
The Boring Ape is back for the free spins bonus, and this time, he is unlocked from the very start and already has a 2x win multiplier. Furthermore, the progressive wild win multiplier will not reset between each free spin. Finally, you will trigger this bonus game whenever four or more scatters land in any position on the same spin.
If there’s one thing I’ve noticed about PG Soft, it is that the quality of its slots has consistently improved over the years. Wild Ape #3258 is another example of this, and I will not be surprised if this release goes on to be one of the most successful slot games released from the provider.
