3 Oaks primarily focuses on Hold and Win slots, as seen in their successful Wolf Saga slot. Its success inspired the similar yet more complex Black Wolf release. Black Wolf is a 5×4 slot with 25 paylines, set in a stunning forest environment with detailed symbol designs. Despite its medium volatility and a Grand jackpot of 1,000x your bet, it offers a satisfying experience for players not into high stakes. The betting range targets casual players, with a minimum bet of £0.25 and a maximum of £25 per spin. However, its theoretical RTP is a disappointing 95.65%.
Black Wolf offers 8 pay symbols, equally split between low and high-paying symbols. The low-paying symbols are card ranks from Jacks to Aces, while the high-paying symbols feature owls, eagles, lynxes, and elk, with the latter being the most valuable. The game also includes Black Wolf Wilds, Huntress Scatters, Boost symbols, and Moon Bonus symbols.
The Boost feature is activated when a Boost symbol appears alongside at least one Moon Bonus symbol. The Hold and Win feature, activated with at least 6 Moon Bonus symbols, offers 3 respins and continues until no more respins are available or the board is filled with symbols. Filling the board results in the Grand jackpot, but there are also smaller jackpots available.
Lastly, the Free Spins feature is triggered by 3 Huntress Scatters, offering 8 free spins with the possibility for additional spins. More Boost symbols and Moon Bonus symbols appear during this feature, increasing the chances of instant wins and triggering the Hold and Win feature.
Overall, Black Wolf enhances the gameplay of Wolf Saga. Despite its lower RTP, we recommend Black Wolf for all Hold and Win slot enthusiasts.
