Wild Ape is one of those names that causes real confusion in casino lobbies: two unrelated studios released jungle-ape slots under it. iSoftBet's Wild Ape (2019) is a classic line slot with a bonus wheel; PG Soft's Wild Ape #3258 (2024) is a cascading ways slot with a cartoon ape mascot. Different maths, different audiences, same name.
Wild Ape by iSoftBet (2019)
The veteran: 5 reels, 20 lines expanding to 40 in the bonus, RTP 96.01%, high volatility. Its identity is the bonus wheel — three scatters spin a wheel awarding up to 20 free spins with up to 50 added wilds. It is the choice for players who like traditional line slots with a concentrated bonus. Read the full iSoftBet Wild Ape review.
Wild Ape #3258 by PG Soft (2024)
The newcomer: 6 reels, up to 32,400 ways, RTP 96.73%, cascading wins and a 10,000x ceiling, fronted by the Wild Bored Ape mascot. Faster, louder, more modern — built mobile-first like everything PG Soft ships. Read the full Wild Ape #3258 review.
Which One Should You Play?
Pick iSoftBet's for a slower, wheel-driven classic; pick PG Soft's for cascades and modern ways action. Both are high volatility — both punish small budgets and reward patience. If apes are your theme, also see Ape Rulez by Foxium (sticky frames, 12,000x) and Congo Cash XL (gorilla hold and win).
FAQ: Wild Ape Slots
Are the two Wild Ape slots the same game?
No — they are completely different games that happen to share a name. Wild Ape by iSoftBet (2019) is a 5-reel, 20–40 line slot with a bonus wheel; Wild Ape #3258 by PG Soft (2024) is a 6-reel cascading slot with up to 32,400 ways.
Which Wild Ape has the higher RTP?
PG Soft's Wild Ape #3258 at 96.73% edges out iSoftBet's Wild Ape at 96.01%. Both are high volatility, but they play very differently.
What does #3258 mean in the PG Soft title?
It is the game's catalogue identifier — PG Soft titles are sometimes listed by number in casino lobbies, so Wild Ape appears as 'Wild Ape #3258' to distinguish it from other ape games.
