Symbols
Wolf Hunt continues the theme of a sexy tracker chasing down a wolf pack against an exquisite North American landscape complete with beautifully rendered symbols of North American wildlife and people. The top-paying symbols in descending order are the caribou, beaver, eagle, and the green snake. Bringing up the rear and again in descending order, we have the far tamer A, K, Q, and J.
The scatter symbol is a headshot of the game’s beautiful tracker, complete with headdress and warpaint. In the wild symbol, we finally get a peek at the slot game’s namesake and our tracker’s quarry: an incredibly detailed wolf’s head staring straight out of the symbol with the word wild embossed in gold beneath his soulful stare. The wolf can be substituted in paylines for any other symbol except the scatter and bonus.
Speaking of bonuses, Wolf Hunt has two features which make their symbols distinctive: first, they have introduced a bonus symbol that is a gold coin with both a wolf print and the total of either the mini, minor, or major jackpot for that spin stamped across the front; the second feature is the lovely animation which is activated when the symbol forms a payline or when they trigger an additional feature.
The wild wolf howls (complete with sound effect), the caribou raises its head, the beaver blinks and rubs its paws together, the eagle screeches, and the green snake hisses complete with flickering tongue. When you land three scatter symbols across the reels, the economically clad tracker raises her hatchet, which, entirely coincidentally, causes her ample bosom to bounce. So I suppose you might have two reasons for wanting to activate the scatter feature!
Features
Wolf Hunt has some excellent features such as free spins, wolf respins, gamble and a bonus buy. Three sexy scatters across reels 1, 3, and 5 triggers the free spins feature. Reels 2-4 spin together to form one gigantic symbol, and you get 5 spins to make some truly epic paylines.The symbols to look out for are the scatter, which gives you an additional 3 free spins, the wild, which greatly improves your odds as you then only need to get a high-value symbol in reel one to win big. A giant golden paw print can also do wonders for your payline if you score one of the jackpots on reel one. There is no limit to how many free spins you can be awarded.
You can also take a shortcut to the free spins feature by clicking the giant gold bonus button to the left of the reels; this gives you the option to pay 25 times your current stake for access and confirms if you want to keep your current stake. If you want the chance to win a little more you can always change your bet, but then you will be paying more for your ‘free spins’.
The next feature is called wolf respins and occurs when you have six or more golden footprints across the reels. This triggers a new set of reels with the current bonus symbols remaining as they landed and open slots dotted between the footprint symbols. You are then granted three respins, with the opportunity to fill the empty slots with more bonus symbols; there are no other symbols involved in this feature.
When a new bonus symbol lands you get an additional three respins, and the bonus game only ends when your repins run out or you win the grand jackpot by filling all 15 positions with a bonus symbol. At the end, all totals on the bonus symbols are totted up, and the total is your winnings from the bonus game.
Finally, for those seeking a high-risk thrill, there is a gamble feature where picking the right card colour, red or black, can either double your winnings from that round or reduce them to 0.
