Wolf Gold Slot Review

Wolf Gold Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Wolf Gold slot is played using a standard 5×3 setup with 25 paylines in total. A winning combination is formed by getting 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols on adjacent reels beginning from reel (i.e. from left to right). For example, you will need to see a buffalo symbol on reels 1, 2, 3 and 4 to get a 4 of a kind win of 10 x stake.

With 25 paylines fixed in play, you can played from 25p to £125 per spin. You can select the number of coins per payline and the coin value if you have a specific stake range in mind.

There’s an Autoplay function which is standard for Pragmatic Play slot games. You can choose from 10 to 100 spins and you can stop the autoplay if your balance decreases/increases by a set amount, if a single win exceeds an amount, if you get any win or you trigger a bonus feature. The layout is simple and easy to understand. You can also opt for a quick spin or turbo spin if you want to play at a higher pace.

The Wolf Gold RTP is 96.01% which is pretty average for an online slot. Variance wise, it’s slightly over medium as it’s rated 6/10 by Pragmatic Play. The max win is 2,500 x stake which will come from the jackpots but the top payout per spin or free spin is 500 x your total stake.

Theme – join the wolf pack

The Wolf Gold slot takes to the wilds of the American West and has an animal/native American theme. It has the look and feel of a live casino slot and is rather mysterious.

The soundtrack has an enchanting and rhythmic feel as you hear wolves howling as you spin the reels. Think the Dances with Wolves film visually.

Set against a desert canyon backdrop, the reels include lower value A, K, Q and J royals symbols alongside a quartet of higher value wild animals. You’ll see cougars, mustang horses, bald eagles and buffalos. The buffalo is the highest paying symbol offering 1, 10 or 20 x your total stake for 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

Then you have the wolf which is the wild symbol. It can land anywhere on the reels and replaces all other symbols apart from the rock formation scatter and moon. It offers payouts like the buffalo (3, 4 or 5 will give you 1, 10 or 20 x your stake). Here’s a table showcasing payouts for all symbols:

Symbol	Payouts
J	3, 4 or 5 = 0.2, 0.8 or 2 x stake
Q	3, 4 or 5 = 0.2, 0.8 or 2 x stake
K	3, 4 or 5 = 0.2, 0.8 or 2 x stake
A	3, 4 or 5 = 0.4, 0.8 or 2 x stake

Wolf Gold Bonus Features

The Wolf Gold slot game comes with 2 bonus features. There’s a Free Spins feature where you can get unlimited free spins with giant symbols. There’s also a Money Respin feature where you get respins in order to collect full moon symbols so you can win cash prizes or 3 fixed jackpots.

Free Spins feature

Look out for the sunset canyon scatter symbol which is the scatter. It appears on reels 1, 3 and 5 only. Land the sunset canyon symbol on all 3 reels on the same spin and you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature and with it, 6 free spins. That may not sound like much but there’s an added extra.

Your winning chances are boosted by the giant symbols which fill the whole the whole of reels 2, 3 and 4. If you manage to land another 3 scatters, another 3 free spins are added to your total. There’s no limit to how many free spins you can win.

Money Respin feature

The other symbol to look out for is the full moon which is the money symbol. Land 6 full moon symbols and you’ll trigger the Money Respin feature. All the standard symbols are removed with just the moons, complete with a coin value, in play.

3 respins then follow. If another moon lands, it will join the cluster and the respins tally resets to 3. The feature continues until you run out or respins or the reels are filled with moons. All symbols come with stake multiplier values which are added together at the end of the feature.

You can also land the Mini and Major jackpots which are worth 30 and 100 times your stake respectively. Fill all 15 positions with a moon and you’ll win the Mega Jackpot. this is worth 1,000 x your stake:

Wolf Gold Review Summary – cult favourite

The Wolf Gold slot plays very much like a brick and mortar casino game, hence its popularity. The visuals are simply done but the soundtrack is a nice complement to the theme. You’ll hear plenty of howling wolves as you spin.

The gameplay is pretty simple too. I found the free spins to be a real hit or miss affair. I completely whiffed on occasions but filled my boots at other times after the giant symbol fell nicely.

The bigger wins will come from the Money Respin feature. You should try Relax Gaming’s Money Train 2 where the similar Money Cart Bonus feature can lead to 50,000 x stake payouts.

This release from Pragmatic Play is a solid, unflashy affair. It’s not the best slot you’ll see but get lucky with the giant symbols or the jackpots and Wolf Gold could yet leave you howling.

If you like the theme, Buffalo King (also by Pragmatic Play) is a good alternative. It comes with 93,750 x stake payouts importantly. Another option is Buffalo Blitz 2 by Playtech which comes with 10,000 x stake wins and up to 14,400 ways to win.
