Galactic Wilds Slot by Relax Gaming

Three Free Spin counters sit above the reels at all times, labelled ORBIT, ASTRO, and COSMIC, ticking upward independently while you play the base game. Every Bonus symbol that lands on reel 4 adds +1 to whichever counter matches its variant. The counters persist across spins and reset only when their specific bonus actually fires. So you're not just chasing a trigger here, you're stockpiling spin counts in three separate pots, knowing the eventual entry will be inflated by however much you've collected.

The trigger condition for any of the three Free Spin modes is the same: 2 Bonus symbols on reels 2 and 3, plus the matching variant on reel 4. Which variant lands determines which bonus pays out. Cosmic is the headline pot, minimum 21 spins, with 3 full-reel Wilds dropping randomly every spin. Astro shrinks the spin floor to 6 but keeps the 3 Wild reels. Orbit also runs from 6 minimum but only guarantees 2 Wild reels per spin. Whatever counter you'd built up gets added on top of those minimums, so an Astro trigger after collecting 14 Astro symbols means a 20-spin run, every spin packing 3 full-reel Wilds.

Paylines double from 20 to 40 once a bonus starts, which compounds the wild-reels math considerably. The popsicle-stick W substitutes for everything except the Bonus symbol itself, and during the bonus those 2 or 3 Wild reels turn into guaranteed full columns of substitution.

Two extra layers run alongside. Wild Ignite fires randomly between base spins, one of the three counters illuminates at random, and the corresponding number of Wild reels gets dropped into a single base-game spin as a freebie. The Wheel Bonus is the alternative entry: 2 Bonus symbols on reels 2/3 plus a special Wheel symbol on reel 4 spins a 14-segment wheel of cash awards and direct bonus-round entries. If the wheel lands on a bonus segment, you enter that mode carrying whatever was already pooled in its counter.

The whole grid is housed in a glowing cyan glass cylinder mounted on a purple platform, set against a sweet-frosting hill dotted with sprinkles and a starfield in violet and teal. Symbols are confectionery-coded planets, glossy ringed Saturns at the top, gummy bear shapes filling the lows. This is a Relax-published version of Armadillo Studios' Gummy Galaxy chassis, so the math model is shared. No Buy Feature and no progressive jackpots, the entire engine is the three-counter Free Spins setup, plus the wheel as a mid-game shortcut. Cap sits at 5,000x, which lines up with the headline figures you'd see from Relax Gaming's mid-tier titles, and the space theming is more candy-shop than hard sci-fi.
