Wolf heart Slot Review

Introduction to Wolf heart

Wolfheart is a 5x6 online video slot from 2 By 2 Gaming with 60 fixed betways, and I have spent a fair bit of time chasing its fairy tale wins. The game mixes an enchanted story about princes, princesses, castles and wolves with stacked symbols, win multipliers, mystery positions and a very generous free spins round that can stretch up to 60 spins if you land enough gold wolf scatters.

Released in June 2016, Wolfheart has aged well, mainly because the maths model can throw out chunky hits without turning every session into a grind. On paper you get medium volatility, a 96.02 per cent RTP and a top potential that can reach around x16,000 on the right scatter setup, which keeps me interested when I want something punchy yet still playable for longer bankroll friendly sessions.

Theme, graphics and soundtrack in Wolf heart

From the first spin Wolfheart drops you into a proper fairy tale world, with an armoured prince, a brave princess, castles and wolves framed by dark forest backdrops. The symbols have that hand painted storybook look, and the stacked character icons give the screen a very busy feel when they line up. I like how the wolves and royal couple dominate the reels, as it fits the romantic, slightly mysterious theme.

Visually the only thing that jars for me is the fairly standard control bar along the bottom, which looks more functional than fantasy, though after a while I stop noticing it. The animations on wins and feature triggers have enough impact without dragging on, and the sound effects back up the story nicely. On mobile the layout scales cleanly, and I have had no issues spinning Wolfheart on either phone or tablet.

Wolf heart RTP, volatility and wins

Maths wise Wolfheart sits in that comfortable middle ground. The RTP is 96.02 per cent, so broadly in line with many video slots, and the volatility is described as medium, though in my experience the game can still go fairly quiet between the bigger hits. Stakes start at 0.40 per spin and climb up to 200, and the game advertises headline wins up to around x4,000 and x16,000 depending on how scatters land.

How to play Wolf heart

When I load Wolfheart I usually tap the help or question mark icon first, as that screen explains the bonus rules, paytable values and how the mystery positions behave. Bet control is simple, with plus and minus buttons for coin size and coins per line until the total stake at the bottom suits my balance. Once that is set, the main spin button starts the action, or I flip on automatic spins when I feel lazy.

There is also a faster spin mode, which I only really use when free spins take a while to trigger and I want to move things along. Because the slot has 60 lines active by default, even the lower bet levels can add up over time, so I tend to start small, see how the mystery stacks and character symbols are behaving, and then either nudge the stake up or drop back if the balance dips.

Wolf heart symbols and paytable

In the main game Wolfheart uses a themed set of icons rather than plain card suits. The princess is the star regular symbol, worth up to 2,000 credits for five of a kind on a line at standard stakes, with the castle next at 1,000. Behind them come the grey wolf and the jewelled sword, at 800 and 400 for five respectively, while the green eyed wolf sits in the mid range with wins up to around 240.

Lower value wins come from the remaining picture and letter style symbols, which fill the screen often and build a base of small pays. On the full paytable these tend to range from about 2.5 down to 1 times stake for five of a kind, depending on which icon lands. What keeps things interesting is that many of the premium symbols arrive stacked on the reels, so a single spin can create a string of overlapping payouts.

Alongside the regular icons, Wolfheart has a prince wild and a gold wolf scatter on the paytable. The wild substitutes for all non scatter symbols and also produces its own strong line wins, up to the equivalent of 5,000 credits or around 31.25 times stake for five. The scatter does not need to follow paylines; landing three to eight anywhere grants free spins and sizeable scatter prizes that climb from x0.5 up to x16,000 on max outcomes.

Bonus features in Wolf heart

The headline feature in Wolfheart is the free spins round, which you trigger by landing gold wolf scatters anywhere on the reels. Three scatters award 8 spins, four give 12, five 16, six 25, seven 40 and a full set of eight awards a chunky 60 free spins in one go. There is no paid feature buy here, so you rely on organic triggers, but when the scatters line up it can feel very rewarding.

During free spins Wolfheart adds an extra twist by changing the royal couple into more wolves. Whenever the prince lands he changes into a black wolf, while the princess turns into a white wolf, and both act as special wilds for the duration of the bonus. Any win that uses one of these new wolves gets paid with a x2 multiplier, so stacked lines of them across the 60 ways can swing the bonus balance very quickly.

On top of that, every spin in the base game and free spins benefits from the mystery feature. Certain reel positions are marked as mystery spots and, just before each spin resolves, these all change into the same randomly selected symbol from the paytable. Sometimes it is just filler with low icons, yet when the game picks wilds or one of the top premiums, the screen can flood with matching symbols and throw in those memorable full screen style hits.

Our verdict on Wolf heart

For me Wolfheart sits in a nice spot between story driven slot and solid feature machine. The fairy tale theme, stacked symbols, mystery mechanic and wolf heavy free spins keep sessions engaging, while the medium volatility and 96.02 per cent RTP feel fair for long play. The interface could look a bit more in tune with the theme, yet the core gameplay is strong enough that I happily come back for more runs.
