Wincent Wolf - Demo & Slot Review

Wincent Wolf uses 5 reels and 20 paylines. The RTP is a very healthy 97.00%, volatility is high, and the maximum win reaches 10,000x the bet. BGaming lists the hit rate at 33.44%, while the Free Spins trigger rate is 0.66%.

Wilds can land on reels 2–4 and come with 2x or 3x multipliers. Landing at least 3 Scatters sends you to Free Spins, where a Wheel of Fortune first decides how many spins you get. Once inside, Wilds become Sticky Wilds and start building toward extra spins and larger multipliers. Chance x2 and a direct Buy Bonus give you quicker routes toward the main event.

Multiplier Wilds

Wilds appear on reels 2, 3 and 4, substitute for every regular symbol and arrive with either a 2x or 3x multiplier. That gives the base game at least a little extra spark, although the Wilds become much more useful once Free Spins get involved.

There is not a huge pile of extra mechanics hiding underneath, so the base game stays pretty straightforward. Most spins are simply about waiting for those multiplier Wilds or enough Scatters to finally get Wincent and Scarlett up to something more interesting.

Free Spins and Sticky Wilds

Landing 3 or more Scatters triggers Free Spins, but the starting amount is not fixed. A Wheel of Fortune appears first and randomly awards up to 19 free spins, so the bonus can already look quite different before the first free spin even starts.

During the feature, every Wild becomes a Sticky Wild and stays on its position until the bonus ends. Each Wild also counts toward a retrigger meter. Collect 3 Wilds and you get 3 extra spins, while every Sticky Wild multiplier is doubled. This can happen up to 3 times, so those original 2x and 3x Wilds can become much nastier if the bonus hangs around long enough.

This is easily Wincent Wolf’s best idea. At the start it looks like a very normal Free Spins round, but a few Sticky Wilds can turn the grid into something much more interesting as the spins keep ticking.

Chance x2 and Buy Bonus

There are two shortcuts for anyone who does not feel like waiting around for the Scatters.

• Chance x2 costs 50% extra: increases the bet by half and makes the Free Spins feature more likely to trigger naturally.
• Bonus costs 60x: takes you straight into the Free Spins feature.

Nothing fancy here, but that makes sense when pretty much the whole game is built around reaching the same Sticky Wild bonus anyway.
