Wolf Gold Slot Review (Pragmatic Play)

The Wolf Gold slot game has the classic setup of 5 reels by 3 rows to play on with 25 fixed paylines. A winning combination takes place when 3 or more matching symbols land left to right on adjacent reels and across any of the 25 paylines. Only the highest win per payline is awarded. 

Stakes start at 25p and go up right up to £125. You can use the plus and minus buttons on both desktop and mobile versions of the game to see all available bet options. Non-UK players can use Autoplay (for up to 1,000 auto spins) alongside win and loss limits. Quick Spin and Turbo Spin modes are also available to players outside the UK. 

The RTP rate is 96%, which is in line with the slots average of 96%. Medium volatility, Pragmatic Play has rated Wolf Gold as 3/5.

Finally, the Wolf Gold slot comes with 2,500 times bet maximum wins. 

With an animals theme, the Wolf Gold slot has a Native American feel. The wolves are the stars of the show, and these nocturnal animals hunt in packs both in real life and on the reels as you can see below. They are joined by an array of stunning animals, including an eagle, bison, and cougar, which all roam the plains in remote parts of the USA.  

The reels are the focus point of the game showcasing the animals. In the background, you can see a deserted area of rock formations during the twilight hour. The music and sound effects are very soothing and feature the sound of animals.  The eagle noises particularly stand out, and the music consists of panpipes and other natural sounds.

The reels' higher-value character symbols start with the Wild symbol, which is the wolf, which is then followed by the bison, eagle, horse and cougar. After this comes the standard symbols of A, K, Q, J and 10 which all have the same value. Below is a rundown of the symbol values:

• A/K/Q/J: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.2, 0.8 or 2 x bet
• Cougar: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.4, 2 or 8 x bet
• Horse: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.6, 4 or 12 x bet
• Eagle: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.8, 6 or 16 x bet
• Bison: 3, 4 or 5 = 1, 10 or 20 x bet
• Wolf Wild: 3, 4 or 5 = 1, 10 or 20 x bet + substitutes for all paying symbols above
• Sunset Canyon Scatter: Triggers Free Spins feature
• Full Moon Money: 6+ triggers Money Respin feature + contains a random value between 1-100 x the bet

Wolf Gold Mobile

The game plays well whether you play using an iOS or Android device. As with most modern slots, the game will adapt to whichever device you're using, which means you can be assured of a top gaming experience whether you're using a smartphone, tablet, or desktop.  

There are two excellent bonus features to tell you about for the Wolf Gold slot game.

Free Spins

If you land 3 or more Scatter Symbols, this will trigger the Free Spins feature, in which you receive 6 free spins. During the free spins, reels 2, 3 and 4 spin together to make one giant symbol which you can see below. 

Every time 3 Scatter symbols land during the round, 3 extra free spins are awarded and there is no limit to this. You'll see that special reels are in play during the Free Spins Bonus round.

Money Respin

Landing 6 or more Full Moon Money symbols will trigger the Money Respin feature. Once the round begins, the standard symbols disappear, and only the Full Moon Money symbols remain. on the grid. 

The normal reels are replaced with special reels containing only Money symbols and empty spaces. You start with 3 respins, and all symbols that hit after this remain on the screen until the end of the round. 

Each time a Money symbol hits, the number of respins resets to 3. The round continues until respins are finished or all positions on the screen are filled with Money symbols. When the Money Respin feature is complete, the values of all Money symbols are added to the win, and the game pays the total amount.

Full Moon Money symbols can contain fixed jackpots with up to 1,000 times your total bet. The Mega Jackpot is won by filling all 15 positions on the grid with Full Moon Money symbols: 

• Mini Jackpot: 30 x bet
• Major Jackpot: 100 x bet
• Mega Jackpot: 1,000 x bet

Even though the Wolf Gold slot was released back in 2017, it still looks fantastic . The soothing nature theme showing the striking-looking animals combined with the illuminating full moon and the sounds gives a relaxing gaming vibe. There are many slot games featuring wolves but this title must have been one of the earlier games and it stands out.

The Money symbol looked fantastic visually, and I was hoping to see 15 of them pop up to fill up the grid to trigger that Grand Jackpot... but alas, no. The two bonus rounds were enough to keep play interesting, and it was the small attention to detail which made a hell of a lot of difference to the experience. Such as having no limits on the extra spins awarded during the Free Spins Bonus Round. Or being able to trigger 3 extra respins multiple times during the Money Respin feature. 

You don't see so many jackpots in games nowadays especially the model of 3 jackpots but I enjoy them, so I was pleased to see this.
