When you think of wolves, what comes to mind? Perhaps a sense of fear or the beloved childhood classic tale about the Big Bad Wolf.
Either way, the wolf is an animal that remains cloaked in myth and mystery. We are here to show you why you should put a few wolf-themed slots on your to-spin list.
So, without further ado, it's time to go face to face with a few wolves lurking upon the reels at Wildz
Wolf Gold
Leading our pack of wolf-themed games is Wolf Gold, a classic jackpot slot from Pragmatic Play with a maximum payout of 25,000x the bet.
As you might expect, the Wolf is the game's Wild symbol and substitutes for all game symbols except the scatter and moon symbols. The Wolf symbol sits alongside the Buffalo as the most valuable symbol, awarding 20x the bet for five.
The scatter symbol appears on reels 1, 3, and 5, with three of these awarding the Free Spins Feature. During the feature, the middle three reels of the grid are merged into one, dropping massive 3x3 symbols. More scatter symbols appearing during the feature awards additional Free Spins with no limit on the number of spins that can be won in this way.
Another feature can be unlocked by landing 6 or more Money Moon symbols: Money Respins. This feature sees all the grid cleared of most symbols, leaving only the Moon symbols, with their attached cash values, and empty spaces. The feature begins with three respins, the amount resets each time at least one Moon symbol lands on a spin. If all 15 positions on the grid are filled, you'll be the proud winner of the Mega Jackpot!
Big Bad Wolf Megaways
Quickspin revisits the classic children's story ten years after the release of their original Big Bad Wolf, one of their first smash hits, this time putting the ever-popular Megaways spin on it.
Outside of the new Megaways mechanic, the game shares many of the features of its predecessor but with a slick new visual shine-up applied.
As the old story goes, the Big Bad Wolf blows down houses, and here, he blows down symbols, removing winning symbols to allow more to fall into place. Every second time symbols are blown from the grid, one type of premium symbol is transformed into a "Piggy Wild".
Three Moon Scatter Symbols appearing triggers the "Blowing Down the House" Bonus Game, which awards eleven Free Spins with an accumulating multiplier in effect, increasing by +1 on each win. More Moon Scatter Symbols can be collected throughout the round, boosting the win multiplier by as much as +10, as well as granting additional Free Spins.
Wolf Hunters
From wolves in their natural state, to wolves in children's tales, and now to wolves in dark tales of horror. Yggdrasil's Wolf Hunters takes us on a gothic adventure, hunting down lycanthropes.
The game's presentation is superb, as you'd expect from this developer, with excellent graphics and soundtrack, and a beautifully illustrated into sequence that fans of the genre are sure to love.
In terms of gameplay, this is one which the true werewolf enthusiasts can really sink their teeth into and keep coming back for more blood again and again, as the game has a few features that are unlocked by gradual saved progress that unless you're extraordinarily lucky, you'll need multiple sessions of play to get to.
The werewolf symbol is of course the highest paying symbol, but also, when the werewolf appears, it fights one of the hunters. If the hunter succeeds in slaying the beast, the symbol transforms into a sticky wild and a respin is awarded. If more werewolves are defeated on the respin, then multiple respins and sticky wilds can accumulate. Additionally, the werewolf's health bar - displayed above the reels - is reduced by one point, when this reaches zero, the game's biggest feature is awarded, the awesome sounding "Slayer Free Spins.".
