About Wolf Hunter slot
The evil and powerful werewolf is sneaking around outside the village and it's your job to hunt down the monster. If you succeed, you have every chance of recording winnings of the larger kind.
When you open the game on any New Zealand casino first appears a home screen. Here you see the werewolf clenching his fist against a full moon and a blood red background. You also get hints about which special features you can activate. Then you will see that you have received a number of ”rage points” absolutely free. What these are for, you can read more about below.
When the wheel alignment appears, you get to look out over one of the most detailed games rmarna vi n on̊ gonsin has tr on̈ ffat p on̊ . The reels are framed by towers and fortifications and behind it all you glimpse the city itself. A full moon is obviously shining on the horizon. We get clear Immortal Romance vibes from the game and we also think that Yggdrasil's designers have played a lot on The Invisible Man to get inspiration for the theme. Wolf Hunters is a slot that oozing with mystery, horror ck and drama . The background music is excellent and it really sets the mood. Yggdrasil's designers have even managed to create a wide palette of delicious (and scary!) sound effects.
Stakes and winnings
Wolf Hunters from Yggdrasil Gaming has five reels with three rows. Over the wheel alignment, the developers have drawn 20 solid lines. It's a bit of a standard for this game developer.
Even the stakes are a bit out of standard. You play with a coin value of between 0.05-50$, which means that the minimum and maximum bets will be 1$ and 1000$respectively. You have, as usual in the developer's machines , ability to play autoplay, adjust spin speed, and more. In short, you have full control over how the game should look on your computer, mobile or tablet.
The symbol that pays the best is the werewolf itself. It gives 500 coins for a hit of five in a row. If you manage to get werewolf symbols and wilds on the entire screen, the win will be 10,000 coins on the single spin. In the free spins rounds there is of course the chance to hit higher total wins than that.
It is gratifying that Yggdrasil has pulled the repayment above its own average. For most slots from the developer, The Payback is just over 96%. In Wolf Hunters we get to play with a RTP of 96,30% , and we think that is very positive.
The volatility of the game is somewhere between” medium ”and”high". It may seem a bit mysterious because the maximum gain is so low. However, the mathematical model gives the result that the focus is on medium-high profits . Important to remember is that the game gives progressively bigger rewards as it is progressive to some extent (see info about the free spins modes below).

Symbols
Wolf Hunters has four special symbols, three high win symbols and four low win symbols. The special symbols represent a golden shield with the text wild (of course a joker), the werewolf (also the highest paying icon) and the two werewolf hunters (bonus symbols).
High win symbols (except for the werewolf) is in the form of a Wolf Trap, a glass container with green contents and a silver ball. The low win symbols are nicely designed variants of hearts, clubs, spades and diamonds. All of these pay basically the same amount.
Game features
Yggdrasil has stopped Wolf Hunters full of cool game features. You have a lot of specials to discover in the base game and in addition there are no less on̈ N three different free spins rounds .
Wilds
We'll start with the Wild features of the game. It is precisely about features in the plural. Firstly, you can get regular wilds on the screen. Secondly, the werewolf hunters can give you additional jokers.
The regular wild symbol is present on all reels and it has the task of replacing all other icons. However, it comes with an extra special, namely a free respin. Once any winnings have been added up, the reels spin once more.
If the werewolf symbol appears, you will see one of the two hunters face the monster with a blood-red sky as a fund. If the Hunter wins, the werewolf turns into a wild (and you get a respin). If the werewolf wins, you get no reward at all.
The wild symbols complement each other so that you can gradually get more and more wilds and respins. There should be an opportunity to get a full screen, but at the same time the probability of it is probably extremely small.
Bonus symbols and free spins
The two werewolf hunters play lead roles in Wolf Hunters. They are featured as banners on the towers at the sides of the reels and they act as bonus symbols. If the male hunter appears on reel 1 and the female on reel 5, you win 10 free spins.
In this free spins round there are two specials. First, the hunters always have more chances to win the battles against the werewolf. Secondly, with the help of a power-up make each joker expand horizontally or vertically.
If you collect three hunters, you win two extra free spins. In addition, each additional wild will expand at turns. If you collect three Huntresses, in addition to playing two extra spins, you will see all wilds expand vertically. If you manage to combine the two specials, you can almost count on a big win in each spin.
Free Spins
Below the respective banner of the two hunters you will see a glass ball with a blue liquid. If you manage to fill up any of the hunters ' glass balls, you win Free Spins . The number is 10 pieces and you play these with a hunter who wins more often over the werewolf.
As I said, you get a splash of the blue liquid right when you open the game. One of the Hunters has 30 (out of 100) rage points from the start while the other has 70.
Slayer Free Spins
Yggdrasil apparently did not think that one respins feature and two free spins modes were enough, because there is actually also a third bonus with free spins. Above the reels you will see a red meter with a specified score. If this meter goes down to 0, you win Slayer Free Spins. You get to play 10 free spins and during these all werewolves will automatically become wilds. In addition, they will always expand.
Summary
There is a lot to say about Wolf Hunters. The game has a rich theme, which, moreover, is clearly exciting. You have a lot of features to activate, and with a little more luck you can play free spins with guaranteed winnings. The only problem we see with the game is that the features are based on ”progression”. It takes a while before you get the chance to play two of the three bonus rounds with free spins. Wolf Hunters is therefore perhaps not a game you should open to play just a few spins.
