Legends of the Wild Moon

Legends of the Wild Moon is a 5x3 slot from GameArt, released on 19 May 2026, running 25 paylines at an RTP of 96.15% with medium volatility. The ceiling is 5,000x. Unusually for a game of this size it carries two separate bonus routes – a coin-collection round and a free-spins round – and they work in completely different ways.

A Desert At Two Times Of Day

The reels sit in a rough wooden frame, the kind a fence is built from, with a canyon and saguaro cacti behind. The base game runs in warm afternoon light; the bonus rounds shift the sky to deep blue night with the moon up, which is where the title comes from.

The symbol set is North American wildlife on the premium tier – a buffalo, a bear and a wolf, all drawn head-on and snarling – with an eagle and card ranks below, and a Native American woman as the scatter.

Four Jackpots On The Fence Rail

The jackpot plaques are mounted along the top rail: GRAND, MAJOR, MINOR and MINI. At the 5.00 bet running through the screenshots they read 5,000.00, 1,000.00, 500.00 and 250.00.

As multiples of the stake that is 1,000x, 200x, 100x and 50x – an evenly spaced ladder, each tier roughly double the one below except for the final fivefold step to the Grand. Against the game’s 5,000x ceiling the Grand is a fifth of the maximum.

One screenshot catches something worth knowing: during a collection round the MAJOR plaque is covered by a grey stone tile. The tiers are claimed by uncovering them, not awarded at random.

A Deliberately Small Paytable

The line paytable is modest to the point of being an afterthought. At the 5.00 stake the buffalo leads at 100.00 for five, 20.00 for four and 5.00 for three – 20x, 4x and 1x the bet.

The bear follows at 80.00 for five (16x) and the wolf at 60.00 (12x). The royals are almost nominal: A pays 20.00 for five (4x), K pays 14.00 and Q pays 10.00, which is twice the stake for a full five-symbol line.

Twenty times the bet for the best line, under a 5,000x ceiling. The ratio is one to two hundred and fifty, and it tells you plainly that the base game is a delivery mechanism for the bonuses rather than a source of wins.

The Coin Round

The first bonus is a hold-and-win, and the coins are paw prints stamped on burning discs. One screenshot shows a round well advanced, the grid holding eleven of them at 15.00, 20.00, 25.00, 30.00 and 70.00 – 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x and 14x the stake.

Dark stone tiles fill the positions that have not yet landed a coin, so the state of the board is obvious at a glance. A single 70.00 paw is worth three and a half times what five buffalo pay on a line, which is the whole argument for the round in one comparison.

The paws appear in the base game too, scattered among the animals with their values printed on them – one shot shows five of them at 5.00, 20.00, 25.00 and 30.00 sitting alongside ordinary symbols. They are not confined to the bonus; they accumulate toward it.

The Free Spins, And A Colossal Buffalo

The second route is free spins, and it plays nothing like the first. One screenshot shows a round with 5 spins remaining and a single enormous buffalo occupying the entire centre of the grid – a colossal symbol covering two full reels, head and horns filling the frame, with a smaller buffalo on the first reel completing the line.

The win reads 95.00 against the 5.00 bet – 19x – from a symbol whose ordinary five-of-a-kind is worth 20x. Oversized symbols rather than multipliers are what make this round work, and it suits the theme better than a numeric multiplier would.

The award itself is short: a carved wooden sign announces “CONGRATULATIONS YOU WON 6 FREE SPINS”. Six spins is thin, but with colossal animals landing it does not need to be long.

The Buy, Priced Cheaply

A BUY BONUS disc sits on the left edge of the frame, and the panel behind it is refreshingly simple: the scatter portrait, the words 6 FREE SPINS, a price of 200.00, and a bet stepper reading 5.00.

That is 40x the bet – cheap by the standards of this batch, where 80x to 200x is normal and one game charges 1,000x. It buys only the free-spins round, not the coin collection, which is presumably why it is priced the way it is.

The Gamble, With Two Rates

GameArt has kept a card gamble, and it is a better-designed one than most. The screen shows an ace of diamonds face up, a CURRENT WIN of 300.00, and two separate ways to double it.

On the left, RED or BLACK at x2, with COLOR PAYS 600.00 printed beneath. On the right, the four suit symbols at x4, with SUIT PAYS 1,200.00. A counter at the top reads GAMBLE 0 / 5, so the ladder runs five rungs deep, and a yellow COLLECT button sits underneath throughout.

Offering both rates on the same screen, with both payouts shown in currency rather than as abstract multipliers, is the clearest gamble presentation in this batch. Five rungs at the suit rate would turn 300.00 into a number far beyond anything the base game can reach – which is exactly why the odds are what they are.

The Trigger

The free-spins scatter is the Native American woman, and one screenshot catches the trigger cleanly: three of her on the first, third and fifth reels, each labelled SCATTER, with a wolf WILD on the second reel and two paw coins at 5.00 and 10.00 among the animals. The spin pays 15.00 and opens the round.

RTP, Volatility And Stakes

The 96.15% RTP is solid and sits above average. The medium volatility rating is believable given the structure: paw coins landing in the base game keep something happening on most spins, while the two bonus routes carry the variance.

The 5,000x ceiling needs the two features working together. The Grand is 1,000x, a very good coin board might add a few hundred, and colossal buffalo across a six-spin round is worth tens rather than hundreds – so the maximum is a compound outcome rather than any single event.

Who It Is For

This suits players who want variety without complexity. Two genuinely different bonus rounds on one 25-line grid is more than most games offer, the paw coins give the base game a visible sense of progress, and at 40x the feature buy is one of the few in this bracket that is actually affordable.

The reservation is the line paytable. Five royals paying twice the stake means the base game will never produce a result worth remembering on its own, and a 20x top animal is low even by hold-and-win standards. What you get in return is a well-made, good-looking slot with two distinct routes into the money and a 1,000x Grand at the top of the rail.
