Wolf Saga Review

3 Oaks have been interested in Hold and Win slots pretty much from day one, and they are keeping us all busy with a steady stream of releases in that regard. It doesn’t make for a particularly fresh experience, true, but there’s nothing inherently wrong with these slots. It’s just that they are a bit too samey, which might frustrate players that have already played a few of them. Wolf Saga isn’t particularly inspired, either, which doesn’t help the cause. In any case, there’s no better way to start than by mentioning that the action takes place across 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 betways.

The theme of Wolf Saga is arguably its biggest selling point, as the game will welcome you to a freezing environment full of stunning animals. The symbol designs are classy, though there’s not a lot in the way of animations, so the slot doesn’t feel alive. In any case, it’s all rather easy on the eyes, and there’s nothing we could complain about that much in this regard.

The mathematical model of Wolf Saga caters mainly to low rollers and players that play primarily for fun.

The slot’s volatility is medium, but its top jackpot is only 1,000x your bet. The betting range starts at £0.25, but high rollers can take the betting all the way up to £60 per spin. Finally, the slot’s theoretical RTP is 96.06%, which is on the sunny side of average.

Wolf Saga Slot Features

Wolf Saga offers a set of 8 pay symbols, which are divided evenly into low-paying symbols and high-paying symbols. It’s easy to tell them apart, too. While the game’s low-paying symbols are all about card ranks, its high-paying symbols feature animals like hares, owls, lynxes, and elk.

Elk are worth the most, and you’ll get a tidy 20x payout for a set of five.

In terms of specials, it’s the usual Hold and Win combination. In other words, you can look forward to Wolf Wilds, Huntress Scatters, Bonus symbols, and Boost symbols. Wolf Wilds substitute for other symbols in winning combinations, and they also come with their own payout values, which are the same as for the top-paying elk symbols.

If you find a Boost symbol alongside at least one Bonus symbol, you’ll trigger the Boost feature. You won’t get any respins here, however. Instead, you’ll get all the values displayed by Bonus symbols straight up. Note that Boost symbols can appear only on the middle reel during the base game and free spins, though they can appear anywhere during the Hold and Win feature.

To trigger the Hold and Win feature, you have to get 6 or more Bonus symbols in view. That will give you a set of 3 respins to start with, and it all works as you’d expect. All landing specials reset the respins counter back to 3, and the feature ends only once you either run out of respins or fill the entire board.

Notably, there are 3 jackpots that you can win during this feature. Landing Mini Jackpot symbols and Major Jackpot symbols leads to 30x and 100x payouts, respectively. If you fill the entire board with symbols, on the other hand, you’ll collect the Grand jackpot, which is worth 1,000x your stake.

Land 3 Huntress Scatters to trigger the Free Spins feature. There’s a nice twist here, too, as the middle three reels all spin as one Mega symbol during free spins. If you land a Mega Scatter symbol, you’ll add 3 extra free spins to your tally.

Review Summary

Although 3 Oaks are by no means inventing anything new with the Wolf Saga slot, it’s a completely fine addition to the Hold and Win niche. That niche is typically aimed at jackpot hunters, but this one comes with a less extreme mathematical model that will suit mainly casual players and low rollers.

So, if you feel like relaxing a little bit with a Hold and Win slot, you simply can’t go wrong with Wolf Saga!
