Wolf Ridge Review

Wolf Ridge is an IGT powered game that plays out on 5 reels, 3 rows and 30 ways to win. Similar to IGT’s previous release, Elephant King, this game also comes with a Prize Disk top reel. You can win instant cash prizes via this feature, and during the bonus round both regular wins and cash prizes are boosted. The volatility is medium here, and wins up to 2,500x is possible.

The North American winter landscape and the native american drums in the soundtrack makes a powerful audiovisual impact, and perhaps even more so than the previous African themed title. Also the math model has been upgraded in this follow-up title, with a higher max win while keeping the somewhat rounded volatility. Other than the theme, and a few tweaks here and there, the 2 games are pretty similar.

The animal symbols are realistically portrayed on the reels, and you’ll find racoons, mountain goats, lynxes - with the wolf being the alpha of the pack. You can place bets between 50p and £1,000 per spin, which is a solid bet range, and you can play on both mobile, tablet and desktop/laptop. The howling wolf scatter is the key to triggering all features here, and you can read all about that below.

Wolf Ridge Features

The dream catcher framed wolf is the scatter symbol in this game, and it lands only on reels 1, 3 and 5. You need only 1 instance of this howling wolf scatter to land an instant cash win. The Prize Disk is the horizontal reel that sits on top of the regular reels, and it shifts one reel to the left on each spin.

The Prize Disk comes with cash prizes between 2x and 70x your stake, and you win the prize that’s above the same reel as where the Wolf scatter landed. If you land the Wolf scatter on the middle reel, whatever Disk Prize you get will be multiplied by 3x. This means that wins up to 210x your stake is possible from a single wolf scatter at the most.

You will also see free spins symbols move along the Prize Disk, and you trigger the bonus round by landing the Wolf Scatter on at least one reel with a free spins symbol above.

You get 10 free spins per symbol you trigger, and you can also retrigger the feature via the Prize Disk. You then get 2 extra spins per free spins symbol you get, and up to a total of 250 spins is possible to get here.

All the symbol values are doubled during the free spins round, and the Prize Disk now comes with cash wins between 2x and 150x your stake. The wolf scatter landing on the middle reel will still triple the cash win, but now you will also get a 2x multiplier if the wolf scatter lands on any of the other reels.

If all this sounds a bit confusing to you, it might help checking out our 200 spins highlights video below. Here you can see the Prize Disk in action, and we have a decent wolf scatter win pretty early on. We did not manage to trigger the bonus round this time however, which was a bit of a bummer.

Review Summary

Wolf Ridge is a somewhat unusual game, although the Prize Disk feature also appears in IGT’s previous release, Elephant King. The backdrop is quite stunning with the northern lights hanging over the winter landscape, and the animal symbols are well-done too. There is also nothing to say on the 2,500x potential for a medium variance title, but we still don’t think this game is for everyone.

It just comes across as a bit weird and strange, and it lacks any real charm and charisma. The Prize Disk moves along on each spin, and sometimes you’ll pluck down a decent win from it.

Everything is boosted in the bonus round, which is nice of course, but the whole thing just gets kind of boring after a short while.

Pros

• Prize Disk horizontal top reel with cash prizes
• Bonus round with 2x symbol values and higher cash prizes
• Medium volatility and 2,500x max win potential

Cons

• Beware of customizable RTP ranges
