Dr Mad by KAGaming

Provider: KA Gaming | Type: Video Slot | RTP: 96% | Volatility: Medium-High

Dr Mad pulls players into a secret laboratory where flickering lights illuminate bubbling experiments and gothic-styled equipment. Built on a classic 5-reel, 3-row layout with 10 paylines paying both ways, the game's centrepiece is its Expanding WILD feature — when triggered, an entire reel transforms into a column of wild symbols and sets off a respin, giving the doctor's unstable experiments a second chance to pay off.

Game Overview

How to Play

1. Set your stake using the in-game bet controls

2. Press Spin — matching symbols across the 10 paylines pay both left-to-right and right-to-left

3. Watch for the Wild symbol (the Dr Mad logo), which substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter

4. When the Expanding WILD feature triggers, an entire reel transforms into a column of wilds

5. The expansion immediately triggers a respin, giving the locked-in wild reel another chance to form winning combinations

6. Gothic-styled card suit symbols (spades, hearts, clubs, diamonds) make up the lower paytable, with laboratory-themed icons — potions and the mad doctor himself — at the top

Key Features

Expanding WILD with Respin Dr Mad's headline mechanic transforms a single reel into a fully wild column when triggered, instantly locking in a column of substitutes and setting off a respin so the rest of the grid gets another chance to align around it.

Pays Both Ways Across its 10 paylines, Dr Mad pays regardless of direction — matching symbols form winning combinations whether they read left-to-right or right-to-left, effectively doubling the routes to a win on every spin.

Gothic Laboratory Theme The visual design leans into a dark, gothic-styled mad-science aesthetic — card suits rendered in a metallic gothic font sit alongside thematic icons like bubbling potions and the unstable Dr Mad character himself.

Logo Wild Symbol The Dr Mad logo serves as the game's Wild, substituting for all regular symbols except the Scatter, and is the symbol most directly involved when the Expanding WILD feature triggers.

Medium-High Volatility With a 96% RTP and medium-high volatility, Dr Mad tends to produce fewer base-game wins between Expanding WILD triggers, but those triggers — especially when they line up with a respin win — can deliver some of the game's larger payouts.
