The Wolf’s Bane

If spine-tingling slots are your thing my compadres, then The Wolf’s Bane slot from NetEnt could be for you. I do love a game with beasts in it (like Playson’s Mighty Africa 4096 Ways) – this one is pretty dark!

The Basics

A bloodthirsty Werewolf is on the prowl in an 18th-century village, you must stop him while contending with a Free Sins round plus Wild Modifiers and random prize wins of up to x50 your bet.

The Graphics

Your reels are set on a backdrop of a deserted village on a cold winter’s eve, while the full moon shines over your gameplay in this scary slot. The soundtrack to your spins is made up of some very chilling music and the odd werewolf howl thrown in for good measure. If you’re lucky enough to land a Big Win, a pack of 4 were wolves will bay at bottom of your screen. Don’t play this one after you have been on the Warrior Graveyard xNudge slot or you will have the heebie jeebies!

The Wolf’s Bane Slot Game Play

The Wolf’s Bane slot comes with 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 paylines, the same as the Good the Bad and the Ugly slot from Gamevy. It might be seem a bit basic, but don’t be fooled – there’s more to this NetEnt game than meets the eye.

The reel icons are made up of the villagers, one holding a gun, a lady with a candle, another man with a shovel, and a female villager grasping a bottle of serum – the werewolf antidote perhaps? Plus the J, Q, K & A playing cards as your low-paying symbols.

Your Wild icon is the unfortunate fellow transforming into a werewolf – still he’s not as scary as he looks! As the highest paying symbol on the pay-table he will scoop your 50x your bet for x5 in a row.

Finally, there are 2 bonus icons in play. The first is the orange full moon that acts as the Scatter, while the werewolf hunter with the crossbow will appear on reels 1, 3 and 5 only. This chap is the key to the pick bonus feature.

The Bonuses

Free Spins
Hit at least 3x or more of the full moon symbols to trigger  the Free Spins round. It’s 10, 20 or 30 Free Spins for you.

Now the game will launch a selection panel – click on ‘stop’ and you will randomly be given one of these 4 different Wild modifiers:

Regular Wilds
Standard Wilds will land more often during the round.

Expanding Wilds
Wilds will expand upwards to cover an entire reel

Multiplier Wilds
This Wild will multiply each win it contributes to by x2. Double trouble if you will…

Spreading Wilds
Spreading Wilds will turn one adjacent or diagonal symbol into a Wild icon, too.

The best part is that you can retrigger the round in exactly the same way, without any limits. Huzzah!

Pick Bonus

Land 3x of the werewolf hunter Bonus symbols on the reels and you’ll set it off this mini bonus, Next, you’ll see the poor Werewolf Hunter transform into his hairy adversary… You’ll be given the choice of 3 Bonus symbols to click on. This will reveal an instant cash win of between 5x and 50x your bet. I say! What a nice wolf chap.

The Monkey Verdict

The game isn’t the highest-paying slot we’ve seen from NetEnt – but it’s not all about the jackpots ,my fine friends. The Wolf’s Bane slot features enough wins to keep all kinds of players happy, and the graphics are superb giving this game absolutely oodles of atmosphere. Sink your teeth into The Wolf’s Bane now! You won’t regret it!
