Forging Wilds: play this Pragmatic Play slot at Leonbet Casino
Pragmatic Play's Forging Wilds is a Norse fantasy slot where wilds forge in place, building multipliers on every base game spin, with a 96.52% RTP and high volatility.
Forging Wilds: a Norse-themed slot with expanding wilds
Forging Wilds uses respins and multipliers. Forging Wilds is a fantasy slot set in a Norse smithy, released in August 2024 by Pragmatic Play. The 5-reel, 3-row grid holds 20 fixed paylines where symbols land to form wins. Its main mechanic puts wilds on screen that stay in place during respins, building a growing multiplier each time they remain forged. High volatility means wins come less often and can be much bigger.
Big swings mean this slot needs patience. This slot suits players with a bankroll for swings: you can bet from NZ$0.20 to NZ$240 per spin. The high volatility means stretches without wins are normal, but when the forging mechanic triggers, payouts can reach 10,000 times your bet. If frequent smaller wins matter to you, this game's shape does not match that need.
Respins continue as long as wilds stay forged. The Forging Wild Respins round shapes how you play. Land 3, 4 or 5 war-hammer scatters anywhere to start with 5, 10 or 15 wilds in a pool. The game respins continuously, pulling wilds from the pool to the reels while keeping forged wilds locked in place and adding to their multiplier. More scatters during the round refill the pool, and the round keeps going until the pool empties and no forged wilds remain on screen.

What the bonus round gives you. Three, four or five war-hammer scatters anywhere start this bonus with 5, 10 or 15 WILDs in the pool. Respins continue as long as WILDs remain in the pool or a forged WILD stays on screen. Landing three, four or five scatters again adds 5, 10 or 15 more WILDs. Your total win cannot exceed NZ$2,400,000.
Forging Wilds random scatter purchase. Pay NZ$375 at your NZ$5 stake to trigger the bonus instantly. You get three, four or five scatters placed randomly on screen, starting your WILD pool at 5, 10 or 15. The rest of the round follows the same rules as the triggered bonus.
Forging Wilds maximum scatter purchase. Pay NZ$2,750 at your NZ$5 stake to guarantee five scatters and start with 15 WILDs in the pool. This skips the chance element and takes you straight into the strongest starting position for the bonus round.
Watch your WILDs multiply each spin. Every base game spin gives WILDs the chance to forge: they lock in place and trigger a respin, adding one to a running multiplier each time they stay forged. Multipliers from WILDs on the same winning line add together. This runs on every base spin across the 20 fixed paylines.
What does 96.52% actually mean in your pocket

When the bonus arrives and what you will win
When will the bonus actually arrive? The bonus round arrives without warning. Three Scatters trigger it, but you cannot guess when that will happen. A long winning run or bonus may never come in your session.
Does the RTP promise what will happen to me? The RTP of 96.52 per cent is a long-term average across millions of spins. Your next hour could bring wins far above or below that figure, or nothing at all.
Forging Wilds sets a limit you will not reach. The maximum win of NZ$2,400,000 is a ceiling, reached so rarely that you are far more likely never to see it. It exists in the maths, not in realistic play.
Skip straight to the bonus round
Random scatters, lower cost?
Pay NZ$375 to trigger Forging Wild Respins with 3 to 5 scatters placed at random on your screen, giving you a starting pool of 5, 10 or 15 wilds to respin.
Before you commit to the biggest spend
Pay NZ$2,750 to guarantee 5 scatters appear, locking in a starting pool of 15 wilds for your respins. This is the direct path to the round's maximum potential.

Play for fun, not to win back losses
Set your spending limit. Decide how much you can afford to lose before you play. Set your session budget in NZ$ and stick to it, treating any losses as the cost of entertainment rather than money to win back.

Activate your safety tools. Use Leonbet Casino's deposit limits and loss limits to enforce your budget automatically. These tools cap how much you can spend in a session or over time, keeping your play within bounds you choose.
Stop when it's not fun anymore. If Forging Wilds stops being fun or you're spending more than you intended, take a break. Leonbet Casino offers cooling-off periods and self-exclusion to help you step back when you need to.
