The Wild Kiss: Slot Overview

You've probably heard the story about the frog and the princess; it's the one where a princess kisses a frog who turns into a prince, and they all live happily ever after. What's interesting is that in the 1812 Brothers Grimm version of the tale, 'The Frog Prince', the spell was broken, and the frog transformed back into a prince after the princess threw him against a wall, not after being kissed, which usually happens in later retellings. Why the change? Hard to say, but tales are often adapted when they are retold and here's a rendition of the story incorporated into a gambling game from developer Red Tiger, titled The Wild Kiss.

A fairy tale story gets a fairy tale presentation, and The Wild Kiss is quite an enchanting slot if you're partial to mixing stories and gambling into a swirling dream-like conglomeration. An ornate garden is where The Wild Kiss takes place, with a charming gazebo, ivy-covered pillars, lamps, sweeping stairways, and tended plants. You know, the sort of place the pampered aristocracy swanned about worrying about what to wear to the duke's ball next week while the peon masses toil in the fields, one year of their salary not even covering one week of their master's mistress' stockings budget.

Oops, didn't mean to slide into revolutionary mode there, and taking part in The Wild Kiss' fairy tale world means choosing a bet of 10 c to $/€10 per spin. A highly volatile slot, the default RTP clocks in at 95.68%, and the active gaming area consists of 5 reels and 3 rows of symbols where 243 ways to win are possible. Winning ways pay left to right and start from the leftmost side of the grid.

The Wild Kiss' paytable contains ten regular paying symbols. They include 10 to A card royals as the low pays, worth 0.6 to 1 times the bet when 5-of-a-kind hit, then a key, a bottle, a watch, a candle, and a crown as the high pays. When 5 matching high pays hit, players collect a cash payout of 1.5 to 5 times their bet. Wilds (both Frog and Prince varieties) are linked to many of The Wild Kiss' features, as we'll see, and are able to substitute for any regular pay symbol.

The Wild Kiss: Slot Features

Here we'll go over more info on the Frog Wild and Prince Wild, the Princess, as well as free spins

Frog Wilds

Frog Wilds land on the reels 2, 3, and 4. When a Frog Wild hits, it leaves behind a frog frame on the position it landed on. If a Frog Wild lands on a position that is already framed, it adds a +1 Symbol Multiplier to the frame. Symbols appearing in a frog-framed position with a Symbol Multiplier are counted for as many symbols as the Symbol Multiplier indicates.

Prince Wilds & Princess Symbols

Prince Wilds only appears in positions where fog frames are present and only when transformed by the Princess feature. The Princess scatter lands on the rightmost reel only. If the Princess hits and there are any Frog Wilds and/or frog frames present, she blows a magic kiss at them and turns them into Prince Wilds.

Free Spins

Scatter symbols are present on the leftmost and rightmost reels. Landing 2 scatter symbols awards 3 free spins. Any frames already on the reels are transferred over to free spins, where they remain for the duration of the round. At the start of free spins, the Princess appears in the middle position of the rightmost reel, where she locks in place. During the feature, the Princess blows kisses on each spin to turn all Frog Wilds and frog frames into Prince Wilds. When a Frog Wild lands in the round, the free spins counter returns to 3. When no Frog Wilds land for 3 consecutive spins, the round ends, and frog frames are not transferred back to the base game. Free spins scatters do not appear in free spins either.

The Wild Kiss: Slot Verdict

There is very likely to be an appeal to The Wild Kiss some may warm to. A dreamy, lazing about a magical garden, turning a frog into a prince and living happily forever after fairy tale-type appeal. It's not a story that makes its way into slots much, compared to others like Alice in Wonderland, Jack & the Beanstalk, or mythology in general. The game might come across a bit childish, perhaps, but searching for true love, sifting through frogs to find the right partner, or swiping left or right is a pursuit loads of adults are locked into, so perhaps some will be able to identify with the plight of the princess in The Wild Kiss?

On a more nuts and bolts level, The Wild Kiss fared fairly well, nothing special, nothing terrible. What is nice is the way the Frog Wilds/frog frames transform into Prince Wilds has been tied into the princess-blowing kisses idea. Cheesy? Maybe, but getting as many wilds or symbol multipliers on the reels as possible might be a fun challenge. The free spins round isn't bad either and deviates from being a strictly conventional hold n' win slot, which it slightly resembles. Instead of stacking money symbols on the reels, it's frog-related items that may stack instead. Something new, and quite effective too, as evinced by The Wild Kiss's 9,883.8x the bet max win.

A sizable number, and one that lends a bit of weighty grunt to The Wild Kiss' polarising presentation. Mechanically, The Wild Kiss can bring its bits together to potentially create a happy ending, and parts of it are relatively unconventional, but it does seem like slot players will have pretty obvious yay or nay feelings about
