Wolf Gold Ultimate (Pragmatic Play) – Slot Review
Pragmatic Play returns with a fresh sequel in its extensive lineup of follow-ups to some of its most iconic titles, continuing the trend of reviving older successes. The original Wolf Gold was first released in 2017, followed by multiple variations, including Dice, Scratchcard, and Jackpot versions. Wolf Gold Ultimate retains the original North American wilderness theme, with only subtle updates to the established art style.
The game’s backdrop features a mountainous landscape with sparse vegetation, all set against a beautiful sunset that enhances the overall visual appeal. When the Respin feature is activated, the scenery shifts to a vibrant sunrise, adding a refreshing touch to the aesthetic. While the visuals are attractive, they don’t stray far from the original design, offering familiarity rather than novelty.
Wolf Gold Ultimate features a 5×3 reel setup with 25 fixed paylines, offering a medium variance experience with an RTP of 96.57% and a maximum win potential of 5,000x your bet. Players can place wagers ranging from £0.25 to £250.
Wolf Gold Ultimate Symbols & Pay Table
The game includes 10 symbols, with 4 low-paying symbols represented by J, Q, K, and A. The premium symbols consist of Big Cats, Horses, Eagles, and Bisons, with the Bison being the highest-paying symbol, rewarding 20x for 5 on a payline. The Wild symbol substitutes for all regular symbols and can appear on all reels. The Money Symbol plays a pivotal role in the game, appearing on all reels with random values, including 0.4x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, 8x, 10x, 15x, or special symbols like MINI (20x), MINOR (50x), MAJOR (100x), or GRAND (1000x) total bet.
Wolf Gold Ultimate Features & Mechanics
Money Respin Feature
Landing 6 or more Money symbols triggers the Money Respin Feature. The standard reels are replaced by three 5×3 grids and a 5×1 grid. Only Money symbols and blanks can land during the feature.
The round starts with 3 respins, resetting every time a Money symbol lands. The first 5×3 grid is active, while the others are locked. Unlock additional grids by collecting Money symbols (9 symbols for the 2nd grid, 18 for the 3rd, and 32 for the final 5×1 grid). The 5×1 grid contains special symbols:
- Collect: Gathers Money symbol values from the same reel across all grids.
- Plus Cash: Adds a random value (+3x to +15x) to all Money symbols on the same reel.
- Multiplier: Applies a x2 to x5 multiplier to all Money symbols on the same reel across grids.
The feature ends when no respins remain or all positions are filled. At the conclusion, all Money symbols are totaled and awarded. Players can buy the Money Respin Feature for 80x the total bet, or use the Ante Bet option, which increases the stake by 60% and doubles the chances of triggering the feature.
Conclusion
While Wolf Gold Ultimate offers a nostalgic return to the original theme and aesthetic, it falls short in delivering something truly new or exciting. The visuals, while pleasant, feel almost identical to the 2017 release, with only minor tweaks that don’t add much to the overall experience. Be sure to try out this game on launch and check out our exclusive casino offers.
