Amatic has been successfully releasing online versions of popular land-based slot machines. Wolf Moon did an excellent job translating the original land-based concept into an online casino game. It is almost identical to the popular IGT slot machine Wolf Run.

The Wolf Moon video slot is set in a Native American reservation, high up in the mountains, and home to some of the most beautiful wolves.

This Amatic game can reward you handsomely if you keep your eyes open for old art pieces and the wolves.

Finding an ancient dog totem or a bird totem can be of great value to you.

In real life, caution is advised when you spot wolves in the wild. But do not hold back during this Wolf Moon slot game.

Instead, try to collect as many wolves as possible: they will pay off handsomely.

Read on, and we will demystify how the Wolf Moon slot works, if there are any fun bonus features, and what money to make.

Wolf Moon gameplay and features

You play the Wolf Moon video slot with 5 reels and 4 rows. You can choose to play the game with 10, 20, 30, or 40 paylines. In this article, the bets and prizes you can win are based on a game with 40 paylines.

The minimum bet is $€ 0.01 per spin, and the maximum bet is capped at $€ 10 per spin.

The theoretical payout rate is around the 96% mark. We didn’t get this information from anywhere in the game description, but I know from experience most Amatic video slots have this RTP.

Wolf Moon slot’s variance is high.

Symbols and payouts

The symbols that can earn you prices in winning combinations can be divided into three categories: The low-value symbols, the medium-value symbols and the high-value symbols.

The low-value symbols consist of the six well-known card symbols 9 – A. We see them returning with a lot of video slots. If you spin these in a winning combination, you can grab up to 100 coins.

The ancient dog totem and the antique bird totem function as medium-value symbols in the game. Spin a winning combination of five identical symbols for an award of 250 coins.

The high-value symbols consist of a portrait of the wolf and a white man’s portrait, whose role in the whole story is not entirely clear to me.

One of the Native Americans from the reservation in traditional clothing would have made for a much more exciting symbol.

Anyhow, these two symbols can yield you up to 400 coins if you spin 5 of the same on an active payline.

Keep an eye out for the image of the howling wolf and a full moon, which clearly inspired the video slot’s title.

This Wolf Moon symbol functions as the game’s Wild Symbol and replaces all other symbols in this Wolf Moon video slot, except the bonus symbol.

By the way, by spinning 5 Wild symbols, you’ll earn an impressive 1,000 coins. The fact that the Wild symbols are stacked seriously increases your chances of massive prizes.

Gamble Feature: Double or quadruple your winnings

The Wolf Moon video slot also features the fixed Gamble Feature you can find on almost all Amatic video slots. By choosing the right colour or symbol of the card, you can double or quadruple your bet.

The Wolf Moon Bonus Feature

In the Wolf Moon Bonus Feature, the dreamcatcher’s image and the word ‘bonus’ in it play a leading role. This bonus symbol is the game scatters, which means it doesn’t need to drop on active paylines to work its magic.

You can activate the bonus game by spinning 3, 4, or 5 bonus symbols on any reel.

Not only do you earn 5 extra spins.

You also win 80 to 800 coins.

Since the game doesn’t have a separate bonus (the free spins are just free spins), the bonus game might not seem exciting. But don’t be mistaken.

The 5 free spins in combination with the stacked Wilds can result in significant wins.

Our verdict on the Wolf Moon video slot

If you happen to know the Wolf Run slot from land-based casinos, you will be pleasantly surprised by Amatic’s online version.

Wolf Moon will not get any awards when it comes to design, but it is a decent slot nonetheless.

Unfortunately, activating the Wolf Moon Bonus Feature keeps you on the base game’s playing field. Amatic missed a significant opportunity to switch gears here by introducing a next-level bonus feature.

This would have helped the slot a lot and provided so much-needed extra suspense in terms of variety.

Anyway, there is more than a decent buck to be made if you spin a whole screen full of stacked Wilds.

In other words, the Wolf Moon video slot is worth a try.
