Games Like Wild Swarm: 8 Similar Slots to Play Next

Dead or Alive by NetEnt is the closest mechanical match to Wild Swarm on this list. Both titles centre their bonus on sticky wilds: any wild that lands during the feature locks in place for the full duration, building coverage across the board rather than disappearing after a single spin. The volatility runs high, a step above Wild Swarm's mid-high rating, and the max win sits at 8,600x.

The theme is Western rather than nature-based, so the visual context differs, but the tension of watching wilds accumulate is the same mechanical draw. Dead or Alive's 96.82% RTP is lower than Wild Swarm's 97.03%, which is worth factoring in over longer sessions.

Dead or Alive 2 by NetEnt carries the same sticky wilds mechanic that makes Wild Swarm compelling, but pushes the ceiling dramatically: the max win reaches 100,000x stake compared to Wild Swarm's 3,100x. The Sticky Wild feature appears in the Old Saloon and High Noon Saloon free spins modes, locking wilds in place until the bonus ends, which mirrors the swarm mode structure directly.

The trade-off is full high volatility and a wider outcome distribution. The 96.8% RTP sits below Wild Swarm's 97.03%, and the extreme max win ceiling means the game plays with a more volatile rhythm than Wild Swarm despite sharing the same mechanical core.

Great Rhino Deluxe by Pragmatic Play is the only title on this list that combines sticky wilds with a nature-adjacent animal theme, placing it closest to Wild Swarm on two dimensions at once. The sticky wilds appear inside a respin structure rather than a swarm mode, but the core behaviour is the same: wilds lock in place when they land and remain for the feature duration.

Great Rhino Deluxe runs at medium volatility, rated 3 out of 5 on Pragmatic Play's own scale, whereas Wild Swarm sits at mid-high. The max win is 6,242x and the 96.54% RTP is lower than Wild Swarm's 97.03%. Players who want the sticky wilds mechanic with a gentler volatility will find it the most accessible option on this list.

Jack and the Beanstalk by NetEnt is built around wild accumulation as Wild Swarm is, but uses a walking wild mechanic rather than a sticky one. Wilds move across the reels rather than locking in place, and each step triggers a respin, building coverage progressively. The volatility is high and the max win reaches 7,100x.

The theme is a fairy-tale adventure rather than nature, and the mechanic behaves differently once it triggers. The 96.28% RTP sits below Wild Swarm's 97.03%. Players drawn to Wild Swarm for its building wild coverage will find Jack and the Beanstalk hits a similar rhythm, through movement rather than locking.

Jack and the Beanstalk Remastered by NetEnt preserves the walking wilds core of the original: wilds move across the reels, triggering respins as they go, and three scatter symbols award ten or more free spins. The RTP is 96.28% and the max win is 7,100x, matching the original exactly. High volatility keeps it in the same territory as Wild Swarm's mid-high rating.

The Remastered edition updates the visual presentation rather than the mechanic, so players choosing between the two versions are making a presentation preference rather than a mechanical one. The key difference from Wild Swarm remains the walking vs sticky distinction: wilds move rather than lock, which changes how the bonus accumulates.

Book of Dead by Play'n GO anchors its bonus round on expanding wilds in free spins, placing it in the same category as Wild Swarm where a wild mechanic carries the feature round. The mechanic behaves differently: wilds expand here rather than lock in place as they do in Wild Swarm's swarm mode, but the principle of wilds doing the heavy lifting in the bonus is shared.

Book of Dead suits players who want a wild-driven bonus at comparable volatility but are comfortable with the mechanic working differently from Wild Swarm's sticky format. The volatility is high, placing it just above Wild Swarm's mid-high rating, and the 96.21% RTP is lower than Wild Swarm's 97.03%. The theme is Egyptian adventure rather than nature.

Fire Joker Freeze by Play'n GO centres its feature on expanding wilds and respins, the closest structural overlap with Wild Swarm in this part of the list. The mechanic is different in form, using expanding wilds rather than sticky ones, but the respin structure means wilds drive multiple-shot bonus windows rather than a single landing.

The key separation from Wild Swarm is volatility: Fire Joker Freeze runs at medium, a step below Wild Swarm's mid-high rating, and the layout is 3-reel rather than 5-reel. The 96.18% RTP is lower than Wild Swarm's 97.03%. This is the softest volatility option on the list and suits players who want a wild-respin mechanic with a gentler bankroll profile.

Starburst by NetEnt places a wild symbol at the centre of its mechanic: the Starburst symbol expands to fill an entire reel and triggers a respin, giving players a second look at the grid with the wild in place. That structural idea, a wild that stays visible long enough to deliver value across multiple positions, echoes the logic of Wild Swarm's sticky wilds, but the execution is simpler and the volatility far lower.

Starburst runs at low volatility with an 800x max win ceiling and a 96.08% RTP, placing it at the opposite end of the risk spectrum from Wild Swarm's mid-high volatility and 3,100x ceiling. It belongs on this list as the gentlest entry, suited to players who want a wild-driven mechanic without any of Wild Swarm's mid-high volatility characteristics.
