Magical Wolf is a game that seems to embody everything the name implies. The atmosphere certainly is one centred around the theme of wolves, with the reels full of the creatures and the air thick with their howling. Platipus Gaming has done an all-around good job with creating the setting, though that doesn’t mean everything else sits right here. Read below to find what further reasons there are to give this slot a look.
Theme
The wild north extends into the background, bringing a wintery chill to rival the spine-chilling howls of the wolfs. This is all well, as where else would wolves roam these days? The different animations add a nice touch to the theme, though some of the basic symbols, in turn, are not done to such a great standard. The audio effects fit the theme perfectly, even if the music is mainly a bit adventurous.
Betting Options and Functions
The twenty paylines run from left to right, and they are all fixed. Three symbols minimum are needed to land a win, which is quite normal for a five reel setup. The playing card ranks offer the low-level payouts, ranging between seven and 200 times the line bet. The wins jump up considerably when the wolves come into play, with the minimum a three symbol combination paying being 75 times the line bet, and the maximum going all the way to a thousand times the line bet. The top-tier symbols pay out at least 500 times your line bet when five symbols combine into a payout.
When it comes to settings and functions you have the mute buttons, as well as a well-welcomed history chart. This allows you to check your recent spins and their results. There is also a turbo mode which allows the reels to spin ever faster. The RTP here is a bit low, being around 94%. High volatility is pretty much a fact, especially with the free spins.
Features
Wild substitutes for all symbols except the bonus symbol, which is no surprise to anyone who has played slots before. When the bonus symbol hits reels 2, 3, and 4 simultaneously the bonus feature is triggered.
Upon starting the special feature the player is given three choices: 15 spins with stacked wilds, 10 spins with expanding wilds, or 5 free spins with sticky wilds. In the latter, the sticky wilds also turn any other symbols behind it into wilds, with the same applying for the second option as well. It’s your choice to go for more spins or more chances to win.
Our Take
This is by no means a perfect game, but it is entertaining to a point. The prizes and special features are well balanced, so you pretty much know what you are getting into here. To be honest, though, you have to like the theme to like this slot. And if the theme is of interest, well, there are a few newer games such as the Big Bad Wolf.
