The Wildlife 2

The Wildlife 2 Slot Review — Belatra Games

The Wildlife 2 is a five-reel video slot from Belatra Games, built on a 50-payline structure and a medium volatility profile with a theoretical return-to-player rate of 92.68%. Released in March 2019, it revisits the safari theme of the studio’s earlier Wildlife slot with a redesigned bonus wheel and a lower payout ceiling of 250x the stake.

Belatra Games, the studio behind this title, was founded in 1993 and works with testing labs including GLI, BMM Testlabs, SIQ and TRISIGMA, with titles distributed across Europe, Asia, Latin America, North America and Africa. The Wildlife 2 sits within the Belatra Games catalogue alongside several other wildlife-themed releases the studio has put out over the years.

Core Gameplay Experience

The Wildlife 2 runs on a 5×4 reel grid with 50 fixed paylines, accepting bets from 0.5 to 25 per spin. That range keeps the title workable for cautious, low-stake sessions as well as faster-paced play, since the top wager sits at fifty times the minimum.

Visually, the reels are populated by a jungle cast — buffalo, lions, tigers, bears, eagles and snakes render against a green-and-blue backdrop that keeps the safari setting readable at speed. This places the game inside the Animals & Nature slot category, a segment built around wildlife symbol sets rather than paytable innovation.

Features and Mechanics

The feature set centres on wild mechanics rather than one headline bonus. Sticky Wilds hold their position once landed, and a Respin Wild mechanic gives a reel another chance to complete a line when a wild lands near a paying combination. Scatter symbols trigger a Free Spins round, and a separate Bonus Wheel feature, activated by spinning the wheel, hands out a fixed prize picked at random rather than a multiplier-based reward. A Gamble feature lets a player risk a win on a side bet after a paying spin, a mechanic common across Belatra’s catalogue rather than unique to this release.

RTP, Volatility and Payout Model

The Wildlife 2 returns a theoretical 92.68% at medium volatility, a combination that keeps wins landing at a moderate frequency but caps the payout ceiling at 250x the stake rather than opening the door to a large multiplier hit. That RTP sits in the 3rd percentile of the 4,445 slots in our catalog with a published RTP figure, against a catalog median of 96% — a below-median return rate that separates this title from most of the field. The medium volatility profile itself is shared by 33% of the 4,737 slots in our catalog (1,560 titles), so the risk category is common; it is the RTP that sets this game apart. The 250x ceiling lands in the 7th percentile of the 3,443 slots in our catalog with a published max win, where the median stands at 2,500x, so sessions here are built around smaller, more frequent hits rather than a rare large payout.

Similar Belatra Games Slots — Comparison

Among medium-volatility slots with 11 to 50 paylines, The Wildlife 2 ranks 8th of 13 titles by RTP, per our catalog — a position that sits below The Wildlife’s 96.15% but above Blue Beard’s 89.76% at the low end of this group. The pattern here is clear: siblings such as The Wildlife or Golden Lemon return more over time while keeping a comparable medium-volatility, 50-payline structure, so a player staying within this provider’s catalogue has higher-paying alternatives.

Similar Free Spins Slots from Other Studios

All four of these titles carry a higher RTP than The Wildlife 2, and three of the four trade that for high volatility rather than this game’s medium profile — Peter’s Universe is the exception, matching medium volatility at a notably higher 96.1% RTP among the compared titles. For a reader comparing across studios rather than staying within one provider’s catalogue, that makes Peter’s Universe the closer match in risk profile, and the other three a step up in both return and swing.

How to Play The Wildlife 2 Online

Belatra Games titles run at 110 casinos in our catalogue, including operators such as 7BitCasino, Playfina and Mirax Casino. The Wildlife 2 can be tried in demo mode first, a way to learn the sticky-wild and bonus-wheel rhythm without staking real money, before checking any specific operator’s licensing and payout terms. The title also appears in our full slots directory and within the broader slots category, useful starting points for comparing it against other medium-volatility games.

Conclusion

“The Wildlife 2 trades payout ceiling for steadier, wild-driven hits — a fit for patient, low-stake sessions rather than a hunt for a big multiplier.” — Search-Casino Editorial Team

The Wildlife 2 is best approached as a low-ceiling, medium-volatility take on Belatra Games’ earlier safari slot, with a 92.68% RTP that sits well under this catalog’s median and a 250x cap that rules out large-multiplier outcomes. Players who want frequent, modest wins from a wild-heavy paytable will find what they are looking for; those chasing a bigger payout ceiling are better served by higher-RTP siblings such as The Wildlife or by the higher-volatility titles compared above.
