The sky's the limit when you join Willy!

Hacksaw Gaming takes to the skies with Willy Wildwing, a 5x4 paylines slot where Blue Plane symbols fly upward across the grid leaving a trail of Smoke Wilds in their wake. The mechanic has a pleasing visual logic — planes ascend, smoke fills the positions they pass through, and those smoke positions act as Wilds that can carry multipliers stacking across associated wins. A separate Smoke Machine feature can generate additional Smoke Wilds before win evaluation even begins, seeding the grid with Wild coverage before the standard plane movement resolves. At a 7,500x max win and medium volatility of 3 out of 5, Willy Wildwing keeps things accessible with a mechanic that rewards multiple plane landings and heavy smoke coverage on the same spin.

Core Gameplay

Willy Wildwing runs on a 5x4 paylines grid with an aviation theme built around Blue Plane symbols that expand upward when they land. As each plane ascends it leaves Smoke Wild symbols behind in the positions it passes through on its way up the reel — the higher a plane lands on the grid, the fewer positions it passes through before clearing the top, while a plane landing lower on the reel creates a longer smoke trail covering more positions. These Smoke Wilds substitute for all standard paying symbols and can carry multiplier values that stack together when multiple multiplier-carrying Smoke Wilds are part of the same winning combination.

Before wins are evaluated, a random Smoke Machine feature can activate independently of any plane movement, generating additional Smoke Wilds across the grid. The Smoke Machine fires randomly rather than being tied to a plane landing, meaning some spins receive pre-evaluation Wild seeding on top of whatever trail the planes themselves create — the two sources of Smoke Wilds operating as additive layers on the same spin's resolution.

Bonus Features

Two wild bonus games are confirmed for Willy Wildwing. Whether Blue Planes fly higher or more frequently inside the bonus, whether the Smoke Machine fires with greater regularity or guaranteed activation, and how Smoke Wild multiplier values scale during the feature will be confirmed at launch. No Hidden Epic Bonus™ is listed for this title.

Next Steps for This Review

At launch the review will be updated to cover confirmed RTP, the full bonus buy menu, what multiplier values Smoke Wilds can carry and how they stack across multiple Wild positions in the same win, how frequently the Smoke Machine activates in the base game, the structural differences between the two wild bonus games, and how the plane ascent trail length varies based on landing position in practice. A final score and full gameplay analysis will follow once hands-on time with the game is available.
