Wilderland

Wilderland is a NetEnt slot set in an enchanted forest of elves, fairies and drifting magic, released in 2020 and still popular with Australian players who enjoy a calmer game with plenty of atmosphere. The soft, painterly look and gentle soundtrack make it easy to enjoy across a longer session, while the wild symbols that walk across the reels give every spin something to follow. Aussies searching for the Wilderland slot or its RTP will find a pokie built around a smart wild mechanic rather than a pile of features, and it plays in AUD at the offshore-licensed casinos listed on this page.

How Wilderland plays

Wilderland uses five reels, three rows and 20 fixed paylines, so wins form left to right across matching symbols. The headline feature is the Walking Wild: once a wild lands it moves one position across the reels on each following spin, hanging around to help complete paylines before it eventually leaves the grid, and some of these wilds bring multipliers or expand to fill more of a reel. NetEnt adds Magic Wilds that can fire again inside the free spins round, and a Forest Treasure feature that kicks in when wilds sit next to one another in the activation zone. The free spins themselves are triggered when enough scatters land at the same time. The mix of wild types is what gives the pokie its momentum on otherwise quiet spins.

Wilderland RTP, volatility and max win

The published RTP for Wilderland is 96.16%, close to the average you will see across online pokies. NetEnt places the volatility in the low to medium band, and that rating is the part worth understanding: the game pays smaller wins fairly regularly instead of making you wait through long empty runs. The top payout is capped at 800 times your total stake, expressed as a multiple of your bet rather than a coin amount, so the ceiling applies at whatever stake you play. That is a decent top end for a lower variance pokie, though the maximum is uncommon and most spins return everyday amounts.

Playing Wilderland in Australia

Australian law is clear on this point. Under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, online pokies and casino games cannot be licensed for or advertised to Australians, so any casino offering real-money play does so from offshore. The casinos shown on this page operate under overseas licences, and this page is not a suggestion that such play is regulated or endorsed within Australia. What is always available and risk free is the demo above, which runs in your browser with no account and no deposit, so you can see how the Walking Wild works before deciding anything.

Is Wilderland worth playing?

If you enjoy a relaxed pokie with pretty artwork and a wild feature that stays active spin after spin, Wilderland is an easy one to recommend as a game. It is not built for players hunting one enormous result, but the frequent smaller wins and the 800x ceiling make it a reasonable choice. Decide on a limit before you play and stick to it, keeping any win in perspective. Whatever you decide, keep it fun and within a set budget, and read our responsible gambling guide first.
