Wolf Strike

Head into the wilderness for Wolf Strike, the online slot from Iron Dog Studio. A brand new release for April 2022, this game follows in the footsteps of many that have gone before, taking players on a journey around the beautiful landscape of North America. And while you're getting acquainted with the scenery and the animals, you could be winning cash prizes with up to x5100 available to win. 

It would be fair to say that there are many games that have already adopted this theme as it's very popular in the world of slots. Technically it's two different themes - wolves and North America - but the pair are very often combined together. Buffalo Blitz isn't big on wolves, but it's an iconic slot that features the North American landscape. Other titles in the same geographic location but with a more lupine vibe include Wolf Gold and Mystic Wolf. In fact, Wolf Gold from Pragmatic Play and Wolf Strike look incredibly similar, but they offer different features and gameplay.

Wolf Strike is set on a 5x3 board that includes 20 traditional paylines. The betting range is slightly lower than some others, starting at 0.10 and only running to a max bet of 50.00. The volatility is only medium, and with a reasonably modest top payout too, this slot is one that will appeal to casual and new players rather than the big money hunters with blockbuster budgets.

If you've played any slots with this theme before, you'll probably have an idea of what to expect, and you won't be disappointed. It's a fairly standard landscape with a multi-coloured sky at sunset casting a glow over the jagged mountains and rocks. With trees dotted around on the horizon, the only question is what animals could be lurking beyond.

The regular playing card symbols make a return for the low pays in this slot, but with the premiums, the wildlife arrives. A panther, deer and bison make up the high pays, bringing the game back on theme.

You might be wondering when the wolf is going to show up - very aptly, he is the wild. The wolf can substitute for any of the low or high pays on the reels to help boost the chances of a win. 

There's nothing tame about this slot, as you'll be playing your way through a myriad of features to try for a win.

Land three or more scatter, and you'll trigger the free spins round. You will start with eight free spins but could win up to 20 free spins if you land five scatters. It's possible to retrigger the feature if you land more scatters during the bonus. Keep your eyes peeled for the power gem; if this appears, you will get more free spins and wilds on the reels.

Back in the base game, there's also the Hold and Win feature. With bombs landing close to regular symbols, they will explode to gift you two symbols at random, which may turn out to be a win. 

Wolf Strike is a slot that will look very familiar to regular players, even though it's a new title for 2022. There's nothing incredibly innovative about the gameplay or the design, but that doesn't mean there's no value. It's a tranquil design, and with a decent combination of features, there's a lot to love about this online slot.
