Extra spins in Minotaurs Wilds come only from sticky Gold Wilds covering all nine cells of reels 2 to 4, worth 3 spins, because Scatters never appear in the bonus. In 60 natural and 50 bought bonuses that never happened: every bonus played exactly 10 spins, and the fullest boards reached eight cells.

How it plays
13 rules screens from the game
Ten bet lines, all fixed, cross the 5x3 grid of Minotaurs Wilds; a line pays from the leftmost reel, and only its highest combination counts. Top of the regular table is the minotaur, worth 100x the stake for a five-symbol line, followed by a young hero at 50x and two women with big cats at 40x and 25x, while a woman in a gold diadem and the red letters A to 10 cover the small wins. A silver WILD helmet can be any symbol except the Scatter or the Gold Wild, and a line of five such helmets pays 150x by itself.
Gold Wilds, a second helmet with a red crest, appear only on the middle three reels, both during ordinary play and during free spins. Each one replaces any symbol and doubles the line it sits on, but only once per line, so a second Gold Wild on the same line adds no further doubling.
A thread-ball Scatter, also limited to the middle reels and never seen inside the bonus, opens 10 free spins when three land. Gold Wilds can make up the three together with Scatters, and three Gold Wilds alone qualify too. After that, any Gold Wild that drops onto the board is locked where it landed for the remaining spins, and a fully gold middle block of nine cells would award 3 extra spins.
The demo offers bets between FUN 0.20 and FUN 50.00, this test played FUN 2.00, and the base banner promises wins of up to x2000; Mascot's game data gives 94.54% RTP. BUY FEATURE sells the 10 spins for 67 times the bet, FUN 134 here, beside a SPECIAL OFFER whose price moves after each spin, and a Risk wheel can gamble a win towards x1000 of the bet. Only the regular card was bought, and the Risk game was never played.

Verdict
Sticky helmets doubled almost every line
Sticky Gold Wilds averaged 0.68 on the board after the first free spin of a natural bonus and 5.12 after the tenth, and the money followed the build-up. Spins one to five paid FUN 1,474.60 across the 60 natural bonuses, spins six to ten FUN 5,043.80, and the tenth spin alone FUN 1,506.80. Of the 1,355 paying lines in those free spins, 1,288 ran through a Gold Wild and were paid at x2.
Round 7086 gave the best base hit, 200x: two minotaurs, a Gold Wild and two silver WILDs on one line for FUN 400. Lines doubled by a Gold Wild made 49.41% of the money returned by the 9,940 rounds without a bonus.
Across 50 purchases at FUN 134, 97.16% of the cost came back, with a median ticket of 0.660x, FUN 88.40.
No board in 60 natural and 50 bought bonuses ever turned all nine middle cells gold, which left the 3-spin extension unused. Two natural rounds got to eight sticky Gold Wilds, round 9237 paying 147.2x and round 5444 paying 60.0x, and both stopped after the standard 10 spins.
- 1,288 of the 1,355 paying lines in natural free spins ran through a Gold Wild and paid x2
- A silver WILD on reel 1 in front of sticky Gold Wilds made a FUN 300 line of four wilds in two natural and three bought bonuses
- Doubled base-game lines with a Gold Wild, found in 464 of 9,940 rounds without a bonus, made 49.41% of those rounds' money
- With the trigger spin counted, natural bonus rounds had a median of 45.25x the stake
- Sticky Gold Wilds never covered all nine middle cells, so the 3 extra spins came in none of 110 bonuses
- Ordinary spins returned nothing 7,919 times in 10,000
- Empty natural free spins numbered 157 of 600, 26.17% of them

FAQ
5 questions · answered from the log
Do Gold Wilds count toward the free spins trigger in Minotaurs Wilds?
Yes, a Gold Wild on reels 2 to 4 can stand in for a missing Scatter. Of the 60 natural triggers in 10,000 rounds, 26 showed three thread-ball Scatters, 25 had two Scatters and a Gold Wild, and 9 had one Scatter and two Gold Wilds; three Gold Wilds alone, which the rules also accept, never started a bonus in the test.
Is 105.31% proof that Minotaurs Wilds pays more than its 94.54% RTP?
No. The 10,000 FUN 2.00 rounds returned 105.31%, yet that mean's approximate 95% CI, 90.76% to 119.85%, still contains the 94.54% in Mascot's game data. Natural bonus rounds supplied 31.31% of everything the series paid.
How many sticky wilds are usually on the reels when the free spins end?
Five at the median. After the tenth spin the 60 natural bonuses held three to eight sticky Gold Wilds, 5.12 on average, out of nine cells on reels 2 to 4, and the 50 bought bonuses ended between two and seven, 5.18 on average. Natural rounds left with three averaged 13.44x the stake, those with four or more 58.74x.
Will buying the 67x feature in Minotaurs Wilds pay for itself?
No. Its 50 tickets at FUN 134 paid back FUN 6,509.40 of FUN 6,700, and only 16 of them covered their price.
Which Minotaurs Wilds round of the test paid the most?
Bought ticket 43, at FUN 638.40. Among the 10,000 ordinary rounds the top was round 486, a natural bonus at 216.4x the stake or FUN 432.80, whose seventh free spin added FUN 311.60, FUN 300 of it from one line of four wilds: a silver WILD on reel 1 with sticky Gold Wilds behind it, paid at x2. The base game peaked at 200x in round 7086.
