Siberian Wolf Slot Machine
In the icy grip of a standard winter in Siberia, where temperatures plummet below -40*c, there is a formidable wolf – the Siberian wolf that lays siege to a village – a village that he calls home.
There’s no end to the number of online slots that have a wolf theme, maybe this is because this popular hunting pack animal is a much-loved figure, or it could be because the wolf is synonymous with plenty of horror movies – we’re not sure what makes it so popular but it seems to draw players in.
Red Rake Gaming have had a stab at creating their own version of a wolf video slot and it offers plenty of winning opportunities, especially with its win both ways feature, free spins, scatters and the non-progressive jackpot of 500 coins.
You can spin those frozen reels from as little as 0.16 to a maximum of 160.00 as you hunt for the jackpot and bonus features.
Ice Cool Design
Siberian Wolf slot machine is a unique design, as it features 6 reels with 40 different paylines. The reels are designed to look like blocks of ice with reels 1 and 5 bearing three symbols and reels 2, 3 and 4 bearing four symbols.
Minimum stakes are 0.16 but if you are a high roller who loves to go for all or nothing, the maximum bet will set you back 160.00 a turn. Look beyond the reels and you will be able to see a crisp icy scene, mountains that reach the stars, icy blue skies, a crystal full moon, snowy slopes and trees dusted with powdered snow.
The design looks almost festive, but what really stood out was the symbols on the reels; a Siberian wold howling into the full moon, a full moon, paw print in snow, snowflake, icy card values 10, J, Q, K and A plus an owl, bear paw and a Siberian wolf.
The betting options are placed on buttons made of ice, where you can view the paytable, view your balance and bet lines, total bet, last prizes won and the spin options.
Howling Good Wins
You’d be wrong in thinking that the Siberian wolf awarded the non-progressive jackpot – because the snowy owl does. There are 500 coins to be won for 5 of a kind of the owl symbols on your active payline. The bear paw offers 150 coins for matching five whilst the howling Siberian Wolf awards 125 coins.
Cool Features
Scatters, wilds and free spins can be found whilst playing this slot game, but what makes it special, is the fact you can win left to right and right to left.
The snowy owl is the scatter symbol and you will be awarded a scatter multiplier value for spinning at least three on your reels.
- 3 scatters awards 80 coins
- 4 scatters awards 200 coins
- 5 scatters awards the 500 coin non-progressive jackpot
Wilds come in the form of the bear paw, which will substitute for all symbols of this game (except the scatter and bonus). You only need two of these symbol to be awarded a prize, even when there are no winning combinations created.
- 2 wilds awards 15 coins
- 3 wilds awards 30 coins
- 4 wilds awards 60 coins
- 5 wilds awards 150 coins
The howling wolf is also a wild, an expanded wild that can transform the reels in a single spin.
The Siberian wolf is the bonus symbol, he makes an appearance on reels 2, 3 and 4 only – and when he does, 7 free spins are awarded. If you can spin in a howling Siberian Wolf during your free spins, an additional free spin will be awarded.
Top tip: If Siberian winters are your thing, then be sure and try IGT’s Siberian Storm. This is a feline themed slot where you’ll be faced with a ferocious tiger rather than a wolf.
Walk on the Wild Side
Siberian Wolf slot game is a medium variance slot machine with a return to player (RTP) percentage of 96.01%. Wins are awarded in both directions which make this game even more exciting than it already was. The graphics and design are superb and draw you into the game.
By playing big stakes, you have the potential to unlock some huge wins and we found the majority of wins came during the free spins bonus. Combine the free spins with the howling wolf wild symbol and you are certainly onto a winner.
You may be playing a good while before you actually hunt down that free spins bonus, but there are plenty of wins to be had during the base game to keep you hunting on.
