It’s been years since the community welcomed the predecessor to Wolf Run Gold slot machine, called Wolf Run and released by IGT.
As the game gained extreme popularity and stayed on a list of favourites for so long...
...it is no wonder that Wild Streak Gaming made a decision to adopt the release to the demands of the modern gaming community while maintaining its original spirit!
So, this traditional slot with modern designs boasts a more advanced animation enriched with several valuable bonuses, as well as...
...Sticky Wild wins that trigger respins & bonus rotations!
Theme & Design
IGT in partnership with Wild Streak Gaming skillfully preserved the iconic design but diversified it with more advanced animation.
If you are a fan of IGT games, you will probably know the Wolf theme is not unique with Wolf Rising and Wild Wolf among the company's more popular titles!
Face your fear and enter a forest loaded with wolves and riches!
The reels in this title appear on top of a thick forest and you will hear occasional howls throughout the game, while...
...the game is set to run in what appears to be a night.
On the reels, you will encounter a Black Wolf, a White Wolf, a Howling Wolf at Full Moon, and the usual playing card values that include Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10, and 9.
Purple and blue colours dominate the reels.
The game's title is also creatively done and you will love how the letter 'o' has been replaced with a paw.
The Howling Wolf is wild and he substitutes all other symbols on the reels apart from the Bonus symbol, which is your key to the Free Spins bonus round.
The sounds are those of any standard slot machine, turning automatically with no special thrill.
However, the howl of the wolf in front of the huge, golden full moon during big wins certainly brings this mobile video slot a little extra punch!
Betting Options
Before you enter the woods and go running with wolves you should set the betting range the way it suits your needs.
By clicking on "Line Bet +/-" you will adjust coins size which ranges from 1 to 20, which means that the maximum bet is 800 credits.
"Spin" button will start turning the reels, and "Autospin" will set the reels in motion automatically without interruption for a chosen number of times.
This slot features five reels and forty pay lines.
The reels are set inside a wooden frame and, the background to the game features a mountainous snow-capped landscape with forested hillsides - the ideal habitat for a wolf.
9, 10, J, Q, K and A make up the lower value symbols but each has a small
decorative design carved into it.
The higher value symbols are all related to the theme...
...and we have two carved totems, a white wolf, a black wolf and a howling wolf silhouetted against a yellow full moon.
The howling wolf in front of the huge, golden full moon is the wild symbol, and...
...it substitutes for all others except for the bonus symbol and also appears stacked on the reels.
Furthermore, it is the highest valued symbol in the game.
Special Features
Carrying on the success of the original title...
...this game combines everything players love about the first release with a few new twists:
Stacked Wilds Feature - This is the bonus feature with stacks of wild symbols available on every reel, appearing often in the main game…
...and far more often during the free spins.
This stacked wild is represented by the howling wolf to the moon and gets the big wins.
In the new Wilds Added feature...
...up to 16 gold wild symbols can randomly be added to the reels during any base game spin:
- If at least one additional gold wild symbol lands on the reels after the spin, that wild will lock into place and a respin will be awarded.
Three Bonus symbols on the middle reels 2, 3, and 4 will get you 5 Free Spins.
All initiating bonus symbols transform into gold wild symbols and lock into place for the bonus, and...
...every additional bonus symbol that lands on the reels during the free games bonus converts into a gold wild symbol, locks into place, and…
...awards an additional free game!
To Conclude
In spite of being slightly dated, Wolf Run Gold managed to adopt one of IGT's most popular games.
It is a highly-interactive slot with easy-to-hit bonuses and winning combinations.
Though the game preserved a pretty basic interface, with slight changes in terms of more modern graphics and design...
... it also added several valuable bonuses to a 5x4 reel configuration and forty win lines.
Design features include Random Gold Wilds added with Respins, plus a Free Game Bonus that features Gold Sticky Wilds and the ability to earn extra Sticky Gold Wilds and Spins, while...
...frequent wild reels action keeps players engaged and drives repeat play!
