Gameplay and Design
Wolf Moon takes you on a journey to a Native American reservation where big wins await those brave enough to venture on. The base game plays on a 5×4 layout with 40 paylines running from left to right, has a medium variance maths model, and a 96% payout, or a 4% house edge.
Royals, nines-through-aces, make up the Wolf Moon’s lowest-value symbols; they pay up to 3.75x your stake for landing five. Two Indian artifacts pay up to 6.25x, with the titular wolf awarding a 10x payday for matching five.
The game’s wild, which substitutes for all symbols except the game’s scatter, is a paying symbol. Land five of these for a 25x payment. This is the most valuable Wolf Moon symbol, although the dreamcatcher scatters come close thanks to their 20x maximum payout.
Wolf Moon is a classic real money pokie for online casinos so do not expect all the bells and whistles of newer machines. That said, the 2D graphics are pleasing on the eye and have a range of animations when you trigger a win. Wolf Moon has no background music and traditional sounds, although the wolf’s howl when you enjoy a large win is a great addition.
The maximum possible win happens when reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 are filled with howling wilds and reel 1 is full of the Wolf Moon symbol. Achieving this pays out 1,400x, or $14,000 at the maximum stakes.
