How We Turned a Farm Theme into a Bold New Slot Experience
When choosing a theme for a new slot game, the challenge is never just to follow trends — but to reinvent them. With Wild Cock, we took a familiar concept from the iGaming market and transformed it into something bold, playful, and technically refined.
Farm-themed games have long been popular among players. Chickens, barns, and rural settings appear in many slot titles across the industry. But while farms and hens are common, the rooster has rarely been used as a central character. This inspired us to build something new around a strong personality, a wild, swaggering rooster with attitude and charm.
We also played with language. The name Wild Cock is built on wordplay and modern slang, making it instantly eye-catching and memorable. It’s a bold title that reflects the character’s rebellious spirit and helps the game stand out in a crowded market.
From Idea to Character
The concept of Wild Cock began with a simple question: how can we take a well-known theme and give it a fresh identity?
Instead of creating another farm animal slot, we designed a main character with confidence and presence. Our rooster is not just part of the background; he drives the entire visual and emotional experience of the game. Warm sunrise colors, expressive animations, and cinematic lighting help bring this character to life and create a distinctive atmosphere.
Built on a Proven Mathematical Model
For the gameplay foundation, we chose a well-tested and successful mathematical model from one of our earlier titles, a model that already showed strong player appeal.
Rather than overloading the game with experimental mechanics, we focused on enhancing it with one powerful addition: the Boost Symbol Feature in the main game. This feature has proven to perform well across many slot releases, offering extra excitement without disrupting balance.
This approach allowed us to:
- Keep the gameplay familiar and reliable
- Add freshness through one meaningful feature
- Maintain a comfortable Medium volatility profile
Faster Gameplay for Modern Players
We designed Wild Cock to match modern player behavior. Faster reel spins and Turbo mode create a smoother, more dynamic rhythm. The game flows quickly while still leaving room for anticipation and feature triggers.
This balance between speed and excitement makes the experience engaging without overwhelming the player.
Core Game Features
Random Wild Feature
Wild symbols appear randomly on any reel. Two or more wilds can land at the same time, increasing win potential and keeping every spin unpredictable.
Boost Symbol Feature
The Boost Symbol appears only on the 3rd reel in the main game.
When it lands together with multiple bonus symbols, their coefficients are summed and applied to the Boost Symbol, creating higher payout opportunities within a single spin.
Accumulation Feature
Bonus symbols accumulate during gameplay.
When the accumulation is complete, the missing symbol required to activate the bonus round is automatically added, increasing the frequency of bonus triggers and keeping players engaged.
Free Spins Mode with Giant Symbols
Three scatters award 5 Free Spins, with unlimited retriggers.
During Free Spins:
- Giant Symbols cover reels 2 to 4
- One Giant Symbol replaces nine regular symbols
- This creates strong visual impact and higher win potential
Bonus and Boost symbols do not participate in Free Spins, keeping the feature focused on symbol expansion.
Hold & Ring Mode
Triggered by: 5 bonus symbols + Boost symbol or 6 bonus symbols on any reel
This classic Hold & Win mechanic delivers exactly what players enjoy: collecting symbols until no spins remain.
Grand Jackpot Feature
At the end of Hold & Ring mode: All bonus symbol values are summed. If 15 bonus symbols are collected, the player wins the Grand Jackpot
Visual Design: Making Symbols Stand Out
One of our most interesting design decisions was how we treated symbol hierarchy.
To ensure that the four main chicken symbols truly stand out:
- All royal symbols (A, K, Q, J) were designed in a single-color wooden style
- This allows the high-value symbols to remain visually dominant
- It reduces visual noise and improves clarity during fast gameplay
This type of visual experiment is usually seen in large multi-reel games, but we chose to apply it in Wild Cock as a focused product design test and the result is a cleaner, more readable interface.
A Balanced and Character-Driven Slot
Wild Cock combines:
- A recognizable theme with a bold personality
- A proven mathematical base with one carefully chosen enhancement
- Fast gameplay with classic slot mechanics
- Strong visuals with thoughtful symbol hierarchy
It is designed to feel familiar, yet fresh playful, yet structured.
With Wild Cock, we set out to create more than just another farm slot. We wanted a character-driven experience built on reliability, modern trends, and smart design choices.
The result is a game that blends humor, strong mechanics, and bold identity proving that even the most familiar themes can be reinvented with the right creative vision.
Step into the farmyard, meet the wildest rooster around, and let the feathers fly.
