Spinsane

I know the thing that pops into everyone’s mind when they read a title like Spinsane: wolves. I bet you think of a big pack of wolves when you see that title don’t you? You don’t? Well, who am I kidding? Of course you don’t. But a wolf plays the part of the mascot of Spinsane, an online slot game created by Netent.

Spinsane Overview

The reason for using the wolf: “because wolves are ice cold and smooth as hell, just like this slot.” That quote is direct from the description of the game on NetEnt’s YouTube page. So maybe the name “Spinsane” doesn’t make you think of Wolves wondering snowy Winterfell. But NetEnt’s reasoning for the name of this 5 reel, 27 payline slot works just as well. And for many, the gambling hall slot feel of Spinsane will be preferred to any game that tries to place players into the frozen north with a wolf pack.

Theme

As established, wolves are the games main symbol. But classic slots are the game’s theme. This slot  pulls its music and flashing lights straight from any slot you’d play in Las Vegas. There are even sound effects as the reels spin very similar to what you would hear when the gears turn in Atlantic City. Spinsane works for both high rollers and beginners. Bets range anywhere from 0.10 to 500. The 27 paylines running left to right are fixed, so beginners don’t have to consider the ramifications of what damage playing one more payline will do to their game.

Unlike many online slot games, this slot machine will drop many blank spots on your reels over the course of the game. That means players may endure many empty spins before hitting a jackpot. But payouts are high once players do win, so consider this when making your initial bets. And Spinsane also offers Autospin for players who want to casually follow the game in the background while they do something else.

Spinsane Symbols

Spinsane features a small number of symbols. The five prominent symbols featured in Spinsane are the wolf, wolf’s paw print, wolf’s claw, wolf howling at the moon, and the wild symbol. Three of those (the wolf, wolf’s paw, wolf’s claw) turn into super symbols when three slashes of fire are drawn across them. Super symbols will spin all regular symbols again to improve on your original score (when you get three of them of course).

Spinsane Features and special Symbols

The wild symbol proves itself very valuable throughout the game. Wilds will stack on top of each other frequently, greatly increasing your payout. The wolf howling at the moon plays the part of scatter symbol for Spinsane.

The scatter symbol triggers the free spins bonus round. During the bonus round, one reel fills entirely with wild symbols, increasing the value those bonus rounds produce. 

Conclusion

Many games don’t live up to the premise or theme of their title. Spinsane is the opposite of those games. Players who come across Spinsane unsuspecting will be pleasantly surprised with the cool animation featuring the wolf as well as realistic slot game sounds. And like real life slots, Spinsane is highly volatile. Big returns are possible, but so are big losses. So when playing Spinsane, expect a lot of downtime between wins. But prepare to cash in big when you do hit jackpots.
