Wild Gambler: a safari slot where you pay to keep wilds
A safari slot with a twist: you can lock wilds in place for the next spin, and the game charges more for it. How the two STAKE boxes read.
Lock & Spin costs extra, and to its credit the game tells you so before you ever touch it. The pop-up that greets you says it in a few lines: spin with wilds locked in place for an increased chance to win, bet varies with wilds in view, click on symbols to add or remove wilds. Then a green OK.
Reading the two STAKE boxes
Under the reels you get a WIN box, TOTAL WIN at RM0.00, and then two STAKE boxes, each at RM0.20. The first belongs to the ordinary SPIN button, a green-lettered rock. The second belongs to LOCK & SPIN, the rock beside it. With nothing locked they match. Once you hold a wild, only the second one should rise, and that is the number to watch.
Below the middle is LINE STAKE at RM0.01, which with 20 lines gives the RM0.20 total. On the left there's a buffalo skull labelled PAYTABLE, a log marked AUTO PLAYS and a small "Auto Lock ON" switch. If you leave Auto Lock on, you are letting the game decide when to charge you more, so I'd turn it off.
The animals
The letters wear animal prints: leopard-spot Q and K, tiger-stripe A, elephant-grey 10. Picture symbols are pink flamingos, a zebra, a cheetah and a grey rhino, all framed in bamboo with savanna and acacia trees behind. The old page said the lions are the wilds you lock. I didn't catch a lion on screen in these five captures.
It sits in the NTC33 game list, and Wild Spirit is a calmer pick if you don't want the lock mechanic. Account and app notes are on the NTC33 page. Ready to play? Get an NTC33 game ID.
One more thing: 18+ only, and online gambling is restricted in Malaysia. A paid lock can eat a budget fast, so decide your limit first (responsible gaming).
Questions people ask
Why are there two STAKE boxes?
One sits by SPIN and one by LOCK & SPIN. Both show RM0.20 in the screenshots because no wilds are locked. The Lock & Spin screen says the bet varies with the wilds in view, so expect the second box to climb when you hold some.
What does Auto Lock do?
There is an 'Auto Lock ON' toggle at the far left of the panel. From the name it locks wilds for you; I'd switch it off if you want to decide spin by spin what you pay.
