Wild Miner — Bonus Features
An expanding wild that converts its neighbours, and a Free Games round where you choose your own spins. Here's how Wild Miner actually pays.
How Each Feature Pays
Trigger, mechanics, and what the provider does — and doesn’t — put a number on. New to the reels? Start with the Wild Miner how-to-play guide.
Expanding Wild Miner
How to Trigger
The Wild Miner symbol landing on the 5x3 grid.
What Happens
KingMidas Games describes it in one sentence on its game page: the Wild Miner "expands and transforms nearby symbols into Wilds, creating chain reactions and more winning chances on every spin". Two things follow from that. The wild covers more than its own position, and the symbols it converts can themselves complete lines — which is where the chain comes from. How far it expands, and how many neighbours it converts, is not stated.
Multipliers
No multiplier attached to the wild itself — the value comes from conversion.
Strategy
On a Low-volatility game this is the mechanic doing the day-to-day work; the Free Games are the occasional event.
| Symbol | Wild Miner |
| Effect | Expands + converts neighbours |
| Result | Chain reactions |
| Grid | 5x3 |
| Paylines | 30 |
Free Games
How to Trigger
Three Scatters landing on reels 1, 3 and 5.
What Happens
The trigger is position-specific, which is stricter than a scatter-anywhere rule: the Scatters have to arrive on the first, third and fifth reels. Once inside, you are not simply handed a fixed allocation — the round opens with a choice of spin counts, paired with multipliers that run up to 3x. KingMidas publishes the shape of that choice but not the ladder itself, and no retrigger rule appears anywhere on its site.
Multipliers
Up to 3x, attached to the spin-count choice.
Strategy
More spins at a low multiplier is the lower-variance pick; fewer spins at 3x is the swing. On a game already rated Low, the 3x option is the one that moves the needle.

Buy Bonus
How to Trigger
Where the operator enables it — the studio launcher ships with it on.
What Happens
KingMidas Games does not mention a buy feature on its public game page, but its own demo launcher loads Wild Miner with BuyBonusEnabled set to true (and gamble and jackpot set to false). So the option is built into the game. What is missing is everything a player would want to know about it: the price, the RTP that applies while it is active, and whether it routes you into the same spin-choice screen.
Multipliers
Not published.
Strategy
Read the price and the quoted RTP in the game before using it. Several jurisdictions block buy features outright, so it may not appear at all.

The Numbers Behind It
How to Trigger
Published by KingMidas Games on the game page.
What Happens
Three figures sit together on the studio's page and they are worth reading as a set: 96.10% RTP, Low volatility, and a 32,440x max win. A ceiling that size on a low-variance game means the distribution has a very long, very thin tail — most sessions live in the small-win range the expanding wild produces, and the top result is an outlier by design rather than something the Free Games regularly approach.
Multipliers
Free Games multipliers up to 3x; nothing else published.
Strategy
Judge this game on its base-game rhythm, not on the headline ceiling.
| RTP | 96.10% |
| Volatility | Low |
| Max win | 32,440x |
| Released | February 2026 |

Where the Value Actually Sits
The only multiplier KingMidas Games publishes for Wild Miner runs up to 3x, and it's attached to the Free Games spin choice rather than to the wild. The Wild Miner itself carries no multiplier — its value is conversion, turning nearby symbols into Wilds so one landing feeds the next win.
Nothing in Wild Miner is described as persisting between spins or sessions. The expanding wild resolves within the spin it lands on, and Free Games run as a self-contained round. No retrigger rule is published, so treat the spin count you choose as the count you get.
Free Games are where the multiplier lives, but on a game the studio rates Low volatility, the base game carries most of the day-to-day return through the expanding wild. KingMidas doesn't publish a per-feature RTP split, so nobody can tell you precisely how the 96.10% divides between them.
Round by Round
Base game — the Wild Miner expands and converts neighbours into Wilds, chaining into further wins.
Free Games — three Scatters on reels 1, 3 and 5, then you choose your spin count.
Multipliers up to 3x, traded against how many spins you take.
Buy Bonus — enabled in the studio’s own launcher; price and buy RTP not published.
KingMidas doesn't disclose average returns per round, so there's nothing honest to tabulate there. What it does publish is the shape: a choice between more spins and a bigger multiplier, capped at 3x.
Letting the Reels Do It vs. Taking the Shortcut
Playing it out
- + Base game pays the full 96.10%
- + Expanding wild chains without a trigger
- + No purchase cost
- − Scatters must hit reels 1, 3 and 5
- − Trigger frequency not published
Best for players who want the gentler ride the low rating promises.
The shortcut
- + Straight into Free Games
- + Skips the three-Scatter alignment
- − Price not published by the studio
- − Buy RTP not published either
Best for players who have read what their casino actually quotes for it.
The buy is real — the studio's own demo launcher loads Wild Miner with the buy-bonus option switched on — but the price isn't published anywhere public, and plenty of jurisdictions block buy features outright. Read the cost and the stated RTP inside the game before using one.
If the buy does drop you into the same spin-choice screen, the decision you make there still matters as much as the purchase. On a low-volatility game, paying to skip the wait buys you a round that is, by design, not usually dramatic.
