Wolf Saga

Wolf Saga Review

Many developers have explored Hold and Win slots, and they continue to release them. The experience can feel familiar, but there’s nothing inherently wrong with these slots. They can feel too similar, which might frustrate players that have experience with them. Wolf Saga follows suit. The action takes place across 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 betways.

The theme of Wolf Saga is a high point, as the game presents a freezing environment with animals. The symbol designs are suitable, though there’s not a lot in the way of animations, so the slot doesn’t feel alive. In any case, it’s all rather easy on the eyes.

The mathematical model of Wolf Saga caters to low rollers and players that play primarily for fun. The slot’s volatility is medium, but its top jackpot is only 1,000x your bet. The betting range starts at £0.25, and can go up to £60 per spin. Finally, the slot’s theoretical RTP is 96.06%, which is above average.

Wolf Saga Slot Features

Wolf Saga offers a set of 8 pay symbols, which are divided evenly into low-paying symbols and high-paying symbols. The low-paying symbols are card ranks, and the high-paying symbols feature animals like hares, owls, lynxes, and elk. Elk are worth the most, and you’ll get a tidy 20x payout for a set of five.

In terms of specials, it’s the Hold and Win combination. You can look forward to Wolf Wilds, Huntress Scatters, Bonus symbols, and Boost symbols. Wolf Wilds substitute for other symbols in winning combinations, and they also come with their own payout values, which are the same as for the top-paying elk symbols.

If you find a Boost symbol alongside at least one Bonus symbol, you’ll trigger the Boost feature. You won’t get any respins here. Instead, you’ll get all the values displayed by Bonus symbols straight up. Boost symbols can appear only on the middle reel during the base game and free spins, though they can appear anywhere during the Hold and Win feature.

To trigger the Hold and Win feature, you have to get 6 or more Bonus symbols in view. That will give you a set of 3 respins to start with, and it all works. Landing specials reset the respins counter back to 3, and the feature ends only once you either run out of respins or fill the entire board. There are 3 jackpots that you can win during this feature. Landing Mini Jackpot symbols and Major Jackpot symbols leads to 30x and 100x payouts, respectively. If you fill the entire board with symbols, you’ll collect the Grand jackpot, which is worth 1,000x your stake.

Land 3 Huntress Scatters to trigger the Free Spins feature. The middle three reels spin as one Mega symbol during free spins. If you land a Mega Scatter symbol, you’ll add 3 extra free spins.

Review Summary

Wolf Saga is a fine addition to the Hold and Win niche. That niche is aimed at jackpot hunters, but this one comes with a less extreme mathematical model that will suit casual players and low rollers. So, if you feel like relaxing a little bit with a Hold and Win slot, Wolf Saga might be a good option!
