Wolf 81 Review

In the world of online slots, it's hard to come up with something utterly new. However, the developers from Live 5 studio did so, or at least they tried. Even though we've seen each of them numerous times before, the features present in this title work in a somewhat different and unique way, and players get to experience a new take on the popular Respins and Free Spins features.

Wolf 81 - Slot Outlook

Wolf 81 is our take on the neon theme and I must say the design team has done a phenomenal job. This is a truly striking slot to look at.Lloyd ButlerCEO, Live 5

It's the first 81 win ways format slot to fly off Live 5's production line, and what a slot it is. The studio has clearly reached some success in learning the art of neon design, as Wolf 81 looks just outstanding. Fluorescent textures are masterfully combined with a catchy retrowave soundtrack that immerses you into the action, and vivid special effects and animations are as smooth as possible. Overall, it offers perfect aesthetics when it comes to the outer look, and fans of the retro genre won't find anything to complain about here.

Wolf 81 Slot - Reel Screen

The actions take place across a 4x3 reel setup producing 81 ways to play on each spin, and players drop in by setting bets from $0.2 to $20 per spin.

As Lloyd Butler continues, the 'talented math team has also played its part in developing glowing gameplay to match', and it's hard to argue with the statement as Wolf 81 is balanced just right. The volatility is in the medium brackets, and the RTP varies between 95.59% and 96.71% depending on the bonus game mode selected, which is decent. What's most impressive is the game's maximum win potential of 8,100x the stake, so players can hope for payouts of up to $162,000 on a single spin here.

The paytable includes 9 regular symbols that pay from 3-of-a-kind and more. They start at the low end with classic A-J royals, and next are four gems of different shapes and colors, and the game's logo is the highest-paying symbol among the regulars. There's also a Wild symbol included that not only substitutes for any other regular symbols but also pays twice the value of the top-paying symbol.

Five-of-a-kind wins are worth from 1x to 50x the stake, and Wilds pay up to 100x your bet.

Wolf 81 - Bonus Features

Wolf 81 Slot - Wolf Climb RespinsWolf 81 is a wild fiesta loaded with features and modifiers, and your gateway to success is the Wolf Climb Respins feature. Look out for Wolf Symbols in the base game, Blue, Yellow, Red, and Green, which correspond to reels 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively. Landing 2 or more adjacent wolves anywhere in view will trigger the Respins bonus, and depending on the number of triggering bonus symbols, you get 2, 4, or 6 respins to start.Upon entering the Wolf Climb Respins, you get to select one of the highlighted Free Spins features. You can only select the features that correspond to the triggering wolf symbol colors. During the Respins, a trail will appear above each reel, and each corresponding wolf symbol will advance you through the trail by 1 position. Landing a wolf on the selected feature trail will award +1 extra respin, and landing 2, 3, or 4 adjacent wolf symbols on any reel will award +2, 4, or 6 extra respins. In case any of the trails reach the top during the Respins, you will receive one spin on the Jackpot Wheel where you can win bet multipliers of up to 8,100x the stake.

Back to the selectable Free Spins features, those are Win Spins, Moon Spins, Multiplier Spins, and Wild Spins modes. For optimal RTP, always select the Moon Spins feature, or Multiplier Spins if not available.

Whichever step of the trail the Wolf Climb Respins feature ends on, will signify the number of spins for the selected feature, which will be played out after you run out of Respins or reach the Jackpot Wheel bonus. The maximum number of spins to claim for each of the features is 16, 24, 20, and 16 respectively.

• Win Spins - a win is guaranteed on each spin.
• Moon Spins - special Moon Symbols step in that carry a random bet multiplier value of 5x to 50x the stake. If a Moon Symbol appears in view, its value is added to the total win counter.
• Multiplier Spins - a progressive Multiplier comes into play and grows by +1 whenever a Wild symbol appears anywhere in view, no limits. All wins are multiplied by the Multiplier value.
• Wild Spins - one reel is randomly selected to become Wild on each spin. Up to two reels can turn Wild.

Wolf 81 - Slot Verdict

By giving players the choice of four different Free Spins to play for the game becomes more engaging as players work their way through each until they find their favourite. We look forward to seeing Wolf 81 brighten up operator game lobbies and for players to journey down the trail and watch as the reels glow and the Free Spins and bonuses play out.
