Base Game & Features
Set in the Great Plains of North America, Wolf Gold Ultimate features 5 reels and 3 rows, with 25 active pay lines and bet sizes between £.€0.25 per spin and £.€250 per spin.
Wins begin from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel when 3 or more matching symbols land. The highest-paying (Bison) symbol produces wins between 1x and 20x your bet for 3, 4, or 5-of-a-kind. Wilds substitute for all symbols except Money symbols, appearing on all reels.
This medium volatility slot includes a theoretical RTP of 96.57% and a max win cap of 5,000x your bet. Lower RTP modules of 95.56% and 94.53% are also available, so be sure to check with your chosen Casino before playing.
Money Symbols
Special Money symbols in the form of moons can appear on all reels with a value between 0.4x and 15x your bet. In addition, certain Money symbols will reveal 1 of 4 Jackpot Prizes:
- Mini: 20x your bet
- Minor: 50x your bet
- Major: 100x your bet
- Grand: 1,000x your bet
Please note, that Money and Jackpot values can only be won during the Money Respin feature, not in the base game.
Ante Bet
Players can enhance gameplay by utilising the Ante Bet feature for an additional 60% of their bet. Once active, your chances of triggering the Money Respin Bonus are naturally higher.
Bonus Buy
Purchasing the Buy Feature for 80x your bet will cause the Money Respin Feature to trigger. After purchase, 6, 7, or 8 Money symbols are guaranteed to land on the triggering spin.
Money Respin Bonus
Landing 6 or more Money symbols in the base game triggers the Money Respin feature, awarding 3 Respins. Once active, the regular reel set is replaced with 3 grids of 5×3 and 1 grid of 5×1, where only Money symbols and blanks can land.
Each time a new Money symbol hits during this round, the Respins Meter resets. All money symbols that appear will remain in view until the end of the feature. The round begins with a 5×3 grid active, while the rest remain locked.
- 9 Money symbols: Unlocks the second 5×3 grid
- 18 Money symbols: Unlocks the third 5×3 grid
- 32 Money symbols: Unlocks the final 5×1 grid
On each of the 5×3 grids, up to 3 special symbols can appear:
- Collect: This symbol collects the values of all Money symbols on the same reel. If additional Money symbols land on that reel for future spins, it will also collect those.
- Plus Cash: Appears with a random value which adds to all Money symbols on the same reel on all grids (except Jackpot Prizes). Possible values are +3x, +5x, +8x, +10x, and +15x.
- Multiplier: Reveals a value of x2, x3, x4, or x5 which is applied to all Money symbols from the same reel on all grids.
The Money Respin feature ends when no more respins are left or all grid positions are filled. Once complete, the values of all Money symbols are added together and applied.
Our Verdict
Pragmatic Play’s Wolf Gold series has taken on many forms over the years, bringing forward giant symbols and Power Jackpots, while keeping to a Money Respin feature. Wolf Gold Ultimate keeps the Money Respin feature thriving, with the evolution of 4 grids instead of 1.
In the base game, Money symbols build up excitement when they appear on all reels, with the addition of 4 Jackpot Prizes. Although their values remain dormant at this time, they play a vital role in triggering the Money Respin feature.
Once the Money Respin feature is active, the original reel set transforms into 4 individual matrices in varying sizes. The main 5×3 grid stays active, while the remaining 3 are locked. This particular setup has been witnessed in a number of titles before, including Ocean Hunter and Sanctuary.
Each locked matrix can be unlocked by landing 9, 18, and 32 Money symbols for grids 2, 3, and 4 respectively. In addition, Collect, Plus Cash, and Multiplier symbols can manipulate Money symbols on all three 5×3 grids by their respective abilities, excluding Jackpot Prizes.
With a high RTP and Medium volatility rating, the max win cap of 5,000x is what you’d expect from a game with these statistics, albeit, there are lower RTP ratings available. When choosing an Online Casino to play Wolf Gold Ultimate, be sure to check which RTP rating is available.
