Dare to face the bloodthirsty werewolves on this slot from NetEnt.
The Wolf’s Night slot might be just a reskin of Wild Wild West: The Great Train Heist but it is a harrowingly-well designed game for the fright season.
A spooky scene in a medieval village on a full moon night will send shivers down your spine and wins of up to 500x the bet per spin your way.
The slot comes with a bonus game and a free spins round that starts with a selector for four different wilds.

Theme
Set in a medieval village that’s plagued by werewolves…
...it has a gloomy and uncanny feel to it. With predominantly grey colors, the backdrop is made up of run-down houses, abandoned streets, and dead trees while eerie music and chilling howls add further suspense.
On the transparent reels…
...symbols include blood-stained J to A royal values as well as 4 more rewarding characters represented by a nurse, a gravedigger, a clairvoyant woman, and a scarred soldier.
It gets really spooky every time scatters land on the front reels as it will set off a harrowing wolf howl.
Overall, the visuals and animation are superbly done while a haunting soundtrack is not for the fainthearted. Maybe turning down the volume will help in that case.
Betting Options
As you will discover…
...this non-progressive game is made up of parts that have been tried and tested for years, which is true for the industry-standard five by three, a ten-payline format used here, right down to the features and even the werewolf-inspired theme.
In other words…
...innovation and originality have been left at the door to make way for basic, simple, and fun video slot action that just about anyone should be able to enjoy.
Or? We will see about that.
Wins are awarded for three to five matching symbols on a line from left to right only.
Dare to face the werewolves on desktop or mobile from 0.10 to 100 credits per spin. The game has medium volatility with an RTP of 96.74%.
Now, let’s check what NetEnt put on the reels!
Standard Wild is a Man becoming a Werewolf which pays 50x the bet size for five across a pay line. It is also substituting for all regular pay icons.
A Full Moon is the Scatter while…
...a Werewolf Hunter with a Crossbow (presumably loaded with a silver arrow) acts as the Bonus character.
But wait, that is not all!
The pay symbols start at the low end with blood-stained engraved card royals from Jack to Ace, awarding 8x to 10x your bet for a single five of a kind.
They are followed by four characters…
...a Female Villager with a green poison vial, a hat-wearing Man with a Spade, an Older Lady with a candle and a Wounded Soldier with a Pistol. Hit five on a line to win 20x to 50x your stake.
Special Features
For those, who played Wild Wild West: The Great Train Heist a few times, there is nothing really new waiting on this creation although the werewolf theme is perfectly executed.
The game has the same features that can lead to the maximum win of 500x your bet on a single spin.
The less desirable bonus element is the Pick-and-Click feature as it has the potential to pay between 5x – 50x your bet only. To trigger it…
...you will need to land hunter symbols on reels one, three and five in one spin. You can pick one of the three to reveal your prize. And just to add insult to injury it will disclose as well the other two which are more often showing a better win.
In addition!
Hit three, four or five Scatters anywhere on the reels to trigger 10, 20 and 30 free spins respectively, however, no coin win. The feature can be retriggered indefinitely.
The game will lead to a second screen, displaying four options for the wild symbol that will be active throughout the free spins.
- Regular Wilds – Acts identically to a normal wild although during free spins more are likely to land on the reels.
- Expanding Wilds – Expanding Wilds automatically expand to cover the entire reel if this results in a win.
- X2 Multiplier Wilds – Multiply every win in which they contribute by a factor of 2.
- Spreading Wilds – Spreading Wilds turn one adjacent or diagonal symbol wild.
After clicking on “Stop” the selector will randomly stop on one of the wilds.
Additionally…
...an Overlay Wild symbol randomly appears on reels one to three on every free spin that will work in the same way as the selected wild. The best option is the Expanding Wild as landing one on each reel will lead to a full screen of wilds and the maximum win in a single spin of 500 times your bet.
Our Take
The Wolf’s Night is quite a basic slot by NetEnt’s standards – however, simplicity is a good thing. Medium variance, the most you can win on each spin or free spin is 500x your stake. Let’s just hope you get plenty of free spins.
Overall, it’s a decent slot from NetEnt – if you like the werewolf theme, Blood Suckers II (also by NetEnt) is a better game and offers bigger potential wins (up to 1,298x your stake from every free spin).
