There have been three online slots released so far in the Microgaming Untamed series. The titles are Bengal Tiger, Giant Panda and Wolf Pack. As can be expected in such a series there are similarities and differences in each slot game. The Microgaming Untamed slots are live at online casinos like All Slots, Platinum Play and Gaming Club.

The thematic objective of the series is to show various wild creatures in their natural habitats. The game displays an awesome graphic of this while the reels load. The background to the reels depicts the habitat. Each slot game has four thematic symbols of the chosen animal and its environment. The Untamed logo is the wild symbol in each case and the eye of the animal is the scatter symbol. The Bengal Tiger is found in the dense forests of India, the Giant Panda in bamboo forests of China and the Wolf Pack in the rugged hinterland of North America.

There are several structural similarities to the video slots of the Microgaming Untamed series. To start with all three are 243 ways to win slot games. They have the same bet range of 0.30 to 4.50 credits. There are three new and innovative features common to all the Untamed slot machines. In the Collect a Wild feature each wild symbol that appears on a reel will activate an icon displayed below that reel. When all four icons below a reel get activated, then that reel will turn wild for the next four spins. Three or more eye symbols anywhere on the reels trigger the free spins. In the Lucky Nudge feature a peeking eye symbol from above or below a reel may auto nudge that reel and trigger the free spins.

The hallmark feature in the Untamed slots is the new Microgaming gamble game titled Your Gamble. This game allows players to collect half the payout and wager half, in addition to the regular options of collecting the entire payout and wagering the entire payout. In Your Gamble the player can set the target up to 20 times the bet amount. Based on the chosen target certain sectors of the central circle will be colored red and the remaining will be colored green. When the game is activated the pointer rotates around the circle. If it comes to rest on the red area the player loses the bet amount. If it comes to rest on the green area the player wins the targeted amount. The Your Gamble game can be repeated till the player loses or till the gamble limit is reached.

Each Untamed slot game has a special feature in the free spins that is different. In Bengal Tiger the feature is Trailing Wilds. In this feature the wild symbol replicates and moves down one position on the reels after every spin. These symbols are held until they move to last position on the reel. In Giant Panda the feature is Brilliant Wilds. In this case the wild symbol will stick to the screen. In other words it will be held in place for the remainder of the free spins. In Wolf Pack the feature is Running Wilds. On each free spin the wild stack grows by one wild symbol per reel. Therefore the probability of wild symbols appearing on the screen increases with each spin.
