Review of Werewolf Wild
The full moon is in sight tonight and in the forests a restless excitement is brewing. With the moon at its biggest and brightest it brings the howls of wolves and cash loaded werewolves.
Slot Theme
The slot has a werewolf theme which is quite obvious when looking at the name of the slot. There is a myth around these creatures that have been told for decades on end. The story goes that werewolves are actually mythological human beings that have the ability to turn into a wolf at night.
In some tales these turns are voluntarily and in others it happens whenever there is a full moon. Whatever the reason might be, the wolves are turning tonight and they are leaving only big wins in their tracks. Aristocrat has incorporated the theme of the slot into every aspect of the slot including the bonus features which makes it even more intriguing to play.
Symbols and Soundtrack
The backdrop of the slot is a beautiful blue, pink and purple night view of the outskirts of town. Above the reels you will find trees lurking and the town clock tower coming into view. The night sky is decorated with stars and the game name is a splash of yellow letters at the top of the reels.
The reels are standard crème coloured columns that is ideal for helping the symbols pop from the reels. You will find the reels covered in symbols that tell a story.
There is an old police man, a beautiful lady and a blonde gentleman who just might be turning into the werewolf. Other symbols include a street lamp, a carriage and card value symbols that have been altered to fit the theme. The soundtrack of the slot is quite a treat, you will hear a lot of generic casino sounds but Aristocrat has gone for something rather simplistic. Instead of hearing constant noise you will only hear a soundtrack of the whaling winds whenever you spin the reels. Other than that you will be treated to complete silence which builds on the mystery revolving the werewolf.
Bonus Features
The werewolf head is the wild of the slot and it substitutes for all other symbols on the reels except the scatter and the gold coin. The latter will only appear on reel one and leads to a delicious multiplier bonus. If the gold coin is on reel 1 and you land a wild werewolf anywhere on the reels you will be treated to a random multiplier of between 2x and 40x your stake!
During the base game you can also score extra wilds with the Claw Swipe feature, this feature is randomly triggered and provides you with extra wilds. During any spin there can appear up to 5 claw swipes anywhere on the reels. If it happens the scratched symbols will turn into wilds.
Then there is the Werewolf’s Touch bonus that can be triggered by three or more full moon scatters anywhere on the reels. The feature basically awards you with free spins and added bonus benefits. The amount of free spins you get is determined by the amount of scatters that triggered it.
3 scatters will get you 7 free spins, 4 gets you 14 free spins and 5 gets you a massive 28 free spins. During the free spins all werewolves appearing on the reels are contagious. They will transform any gentleman, lady or policeman they touch into another contagious werewolf. The feature can be retriggered if 3 or more scatters appear during the free games.
Summary
Werewolf Wild is a wildly popular Aristocrat slot that comes with animated and fun bonus features and superb graphics. Run wild with the wolves to night and get your paws on spectacular winnings of up to 1,000 coins per spin. Werewolf Wild is a medium to high variance slot that will raise your winnings along with the hairs on the back your neck.
