Cool Wolf Slot machine review

Cool Wolf

Cool Wolf is a new Microgaming slot that features 5 reels and the ways to win system (243 paylines). You can be rewarded with win up to $210,000 and will find scatter symbols, Free Spins, multipliers and wild symbols being tossed into the mix.

The game is themed around a werewolf that is as cool as they come, though in his human form he is a geek kid in high school. You will find on the reels of this slot many of the cool parts of the werewolf's live, along with some examples of how he is during the day. The design is cartoon like and a good choice overall, with the image behind the reels being of the Howlingwood (a play on Hollywood). The symbols appearing here are the playing cards, plus the game logo, the golden movie tickets, the werewolf, the car with the cheerleaders, the Cineplex, sunglasses and the geek.

The betting system uses the equivalent of 50 paylines when it comes to wagers, even though the bets are made on all 243 ways to win. The bet you place on one line is the amount that is used to determine just how much your prize is worth. The player has the choice to select 1 to 10 coins and a value of up to $0.10 for them. The line wager goes up to $1 this way, while the Top Bet is $50. The top jackpot gives you $5,000.

The scatter symbol will award you the top jackpot if you have five symbols of this kind in any position in the game, in the same round. The payouts are offered for a minimum of three scatters and the same number of symbols will give you free spins. 15 to 25 spins are offered for 3 to 5 scatters. Rolling Reels come with the spins, where you can get multipliers of up to 10x.

The Cool Wolf wild is used stacked on three of the five reels of the Slot (3 to 5). Since they're stacked, they can take between 1 and 3 positions on each of those reels, with up to 9 possible wild icons available at the same time. The downside would be the fact that they're positioned starting with the 3rd reel, so you need at least two identical symbols on the first 2+ reels in order to take advantage of the feature.

The Howling Wild is a randomly occurring feature that appears on reels 2 to 4 and where the entire reel becomes wild with guaranteed wins.

Cool Wolf is a great addition to the line-up of microgaming slots. It offers up some wonderful graphics and is reminiscent of the teenage wolf movies that graced the late 80's.
