Wolf Reels Rapid Link

Wolf Reels Rapid Link Overview

Created by Stakelogic and NetGame, Wolf Reels Rapid Link transports players to a stunning location somewhere on the North American continent. By the looks of the flora and fauna on display, the setting for this game could be somewhere in Canada or Alaska. It is a calming and pleasant spot to set an online slot game wherever this alpine paradise is. In regards to game mechanics, this game is blessed with many pay lines and a high-quality playing board populated by beautiful symbols.

The features in this game are pretty standard but do add a level of lucrative variety to the gameplay. The first feature in this game is the wild bonus. The howling wolf is the wild icon; it substitutes for all regular symbols giving players a greater chance of forming combinations. The second feature is the free spins game. Trigger this feature, and you will be given the choice of 5 free spin rounds to choose from with varying spins and multipliers. Finally, this game also has an expanding grid bonus. All features will be explained in greater detail later in the review.

Theme and Symbols

The theme for this game is the North American wild, specifically somewhere deep in an Alpine area such as the many forests of Canada or even Minnesota. The other theme which is incorporated in this game is the theme of Native Americans. This sub-theme is mostly translated thanks to the native headdress features on the symbols and the ornately designed playing board. From the soundtrack to the background, the whole game has been engineered to make you feel as though you are in some amazing wilderness confronting the elements.

The background for Wolf Reels is a mountainside scene, with the mountain itself dominating much of the centre screen. Its slopes and valleys create a beautiful natural environment for the action playing out on the board. On the other hand, to the left and right of the reels is a dense pine forest that carpets the lower areas of the terrain. The background seems to be watercolour with fine details and rich colours which are calming to the eye.

The board, in contrast, is an elaborate and detailed wooden construction that is supposed to be of native American design. However, we have a strong suspicion that the board may have been borrowed from another game, such as a Viking-themed game and copied across to save on original design costs.
The symbols for Wolf Reels are split into low-value, high-value and special symbols. The low-value symbols are represented by the card values 9, 10 J, Q, K and A, decorated in a Native American style. On the other hand, the higher paying symbols are the wild animals that can be found in this setting. These begin with the hare, the top payout for which is 2.5x your stake. Up from this is the Elk symbol which has the same value. The owl then is worth 3.5x your stake for the top combination. The Lynx is the same value. However, the most valuable symbol is the wolf, which pays out 5x your stake for the top combination. Finally, the specials comprise the Wolf Wild, the Molten Core symbols and the Wolf coin free spin scatter.

Features

The first feature that players will probably encounter when playing this game is the wild icon bonus. The wild for Wolf Reels Rapid Link is the howling wolf symbol. This symbol replaces other regular symbols on the board to help create winning combinations. When you are within the free spins, round the wild also comes with an attached multiplier in the range of 2x to 4x. This icon, however, only appears on the central three reels.

The second bonus feature in this game is the free spins game, triggered by landing 3 or more of the gold coin scatters on the reels simultaneously. Triggering the bonus will give you five options to choose from, each of which having its number of spins and starting multiplier. The fifth option in this bunch is a random option that selects a random number of spins (from the available rounds) and a random multiplier (again from those available in the other options).

Finally, this game also comes with a feature known as the Rapid Link bonus. To trigger this bonus, players must land 4 of the Molten Core icons on the reels at the same time. Each of these symbols has a monetary value on it. The feature gives you 3 free spins but on an extended board of 8 rows. Players will be able to land further Molten Core symbols from within this round. Every icon landed will reset the number of free spins granted to 3. Landing various thresholds of these symbols will also unlock further rows to play on. You can play on a maximum of 12 rows. The sum of each Molten Core icon collected at the end of the feature is tallied and paid out to you.

Conclusion

If you fancy some wilderness exploring with the added benefit of winning big prizes, Wolf Reels Rapid Link is a perfect slot game for you. With some great features, a reasonable RTP and some graphics that are pleasing to the eye, this game makes a good choice for anyone looking for a leisurely afternoon gaming.
