Themes & visuals
Wild Wolf is based around the titular wolves, with a dash of Native American mysticism added in.
The whole experience is quite relaxing for a slot and worked out as a nice choice of theme overall.
There are two sets of icons in Wild Wolf. One is for the standard reels and for the bonus free spins game, while the second is essentially the same but with the images flipped and colored differently.
There are the standard slots icons of J, K, 9 and 10. On top of that, you get lupine-themed icons such as:
- Brown Wolf
- Black Wolf
- Wolf Howling at the Moon
- Native American Totems
Wild Wolf’s backing music is a sort of Brian-Eno-style spacy, ambient track. It’s not bad at all, and it’s easily blended into the background while spinning the reels.
Other sounds included traditional style drums and clicks as well as howling wolves. As slot games go, this one is rather atmospheric – although this might come down to personal taste.
Betting options & paying combinations
Wild Wolf is a fifty-payline, five-reel game with fully customizable lines.
This means the minimum bet starts at $0.01, for those willing to play with only one line. Penny slots players will be happy with that.
The maximum bet can still be quite high. With all fifty lines, the top bet per line is $1, making an expected maximum wager of $50.
A slightly higher option is available for players who experiment with the payline numbers.
At 30 paylines, the maximum per line bet is upped to $3. This means the true highest wager is $90.
This isn’t the highest you’ll find in online slots. It is a reasonable amount, nonetheless.
The highest payout possible on a standard symbol is 500x your per-line bet. That makes for a maximum of $1500 winnable on one line. This doesn’t count Wilds, and many lines can be won on one spin.
The Return-to-Player, or RTP, on Wild Wolf is 92.99 – 94.97%. Even on the higher end, this is relatively low compared to many slot games available online.
What about the jackpots?
There are none to be found here.
Considering today’s modern slot marketplace, not having any kind of designated jackpot hurts Wild Wolf’s chances of staying at the head of the pack.
Additional features & bonus rounds
Wild Wolf features one Wild icon, one scatter, and one bonus round. That’s not an extensive set of features, although some players may find the simplicity appealing.
1. Wild Symbols
There’s only one Wild symbol in this game – two if you count the same symbol mirrored on the bonus reels.
They are standard Wild symbols – they replace any other symbol to form a winning line.
Sometimes Wild symbols can appear in a stack on the main reels. This means they take up one whole reel, which can lead to multiple payline wins.
Wild Symbols are also the highest paying symbols when they form a winning line by themselves. They go as follows:
- 3 Wilds = 50x your line bet
- 4 Wilds = 100x line bet
- 5 = 1000x
That makes for a maximum bet prize of $3000 on any one line.
2. Scatter
Wild Wolf includes only one scatter – a Bonus symbol with a furry pawprint on it.
Pull three of these in the central three reels on which they appear, and you’ll unlock the bonus round. You’ll get 2x your maximum bet as well.
It doesn’t matter where the scatter symbols appear or whether they make a payline. You still get the bonus and the prize.
3. Bonus Rounds
Wild Wolf’s bonus round is a free spins game on a separate but not entirely different set of reels.
You initially receive five free spins on these color-changed reels. Should you pull three more Bonus symbols during your free spins, you’ll get 2x your overall bet and another five free spins to add to the round.
Each spin is made with the same maximum wager you had down on the spin that triggered the bonus.
As an added extra, the stacked Wilds feature occurs more often on these bonus reels, meaning big multiple line wins are definitely possible here.
Who is Wild Wolf ideal for?
Penny slots players will enjoy this game as bets can be adjusted in a wide range of sizes.
Beginner or new slots fans may also find appeal in the simplicity of this IGT title.
The whole theme is quite relaxing too, which could be an attraction for players who dislike the over-the-top and busy gameplay of many slots.
Similar games by IGT
Wolves are a popular and classic choice of theme for slot developers, so fans of the wild canines may find many titles to their liking online.
Just a few from IGT include Wolf Run: Mega Jackpots, Wolf Rising, and Wolf Run: Hot Roulette.
What’s hot?
Engaging Theme: This may come down to personal taste, but we enjoyed the aesthetics and sound design on Wild Wolf. Something about them was absorbing and relaxing.
Overall, a surprisingly fun take on a fairly common theme.
Fully Customizable Paylines: This is always a highly useful tool for players who like their own custom bet sizes. With 50 paylines and a range of line-bets to play with, bettors should be able to wager exactly the way they want on Wild Wolf.
What’s Not?
No Jackpots: Without a big-money designated prize and a fairly low RTP, Wild Wolf certainly doesn’t feel like the biggest paying game on the market right now.
Not Too Many Features: With only one bonus round and one scatter, Wild Wolf doesn’t have a huge amount of depth to it.
The stacked Wilds are a decent addition. However, compared to games offering those on top of other Wild features and more variety in the bonus rounds, Wild Wolf might not have enough to keep up.
Final rating
- Graphics and design – 2.5/5: Wild Wolf’s graphics aren’t too visually impressive with fancy animations and effects. However, we found the overall theme somewhat captivating. Custom paylines are great too, but the fairly low RTP and lack of depth let this title down.
- Sound effects – 3/5: Contributing to the strong theme is the music. Decent for a standard slot title track, it made for an effective background to the gameplay.
- Jackpot value – 0/5: With no sign-posted big money prize in sight, and a top standard reel win of $20,000, Wild Wolf was always going to get a zero here.
- Replay value – 1.5/5: Players who enjoy the theme might find a reason to come back, as may penny slots players. Other than that, most bettors will go through all Wild Wolf has to offer fairly quickly.
Playing Wild Wolf Slot
This is a slot that will appeal to players who enjoy having plenty of win lines – the 50 available here more than found at the majority of games. However, this is customizable with options of playing 40, 30, 20, 10, 5 and just a single line. This high number of win lines is due to the larger than usual size of the reels, each one hosting being four symbols high as opposed to the more usual three. Having settled on your number of lines, you’ll choose your line bet size and then be ready to hit spin!
To win at this slot you’ll need to land at least three consecutive symbols on a win line from left to right, although the top prizes are reserved for landing 5 in a row. Of the standard symbols, the gray wolf and the black furred wolf are both worth 500 coins when you have 5 in a row, with the two totem pole symbols being worth 250. The playing card symbols are the lowest paying.
The third and perhaps the most important wolf symbol at the slot is the ‘wild wolf’. This shows an orange tinted full moon with a silhouette of the wolf howling into the night. This is the highest paying symbol, with 1,000 coins available for a full house of 5. However, it’s as the wild that it becomes really important. This is a stacked wild and can encompass an entire reel and being stacked, you’ll find that wins can come in clusters, especially when you find more than one reel is wild.
The final symbol at the slot is the bonus one. This only appears on the centre three reels and should it appear on each of the three you’ll enter the free spins bonus round.
Wild Wolf Slot Free Spins Round
Wild Wolf Run Free Slots
At first, you might be a little disappointed that you are only given five free spins in the feature. However, this round features reels that are very different from the base game, offering many more wilds than usual. Some of the spins during the feature can become hugely profitable, where a great number of win lines all pay out at the same time. The bonus spins can be re-triggered during the feature – up to 50 times in fact, although you’d really need lady luck on your side for this to happen.
