The NetEnt provider, one of the giants of the online gambling market, offers us this time a slot machine with werewolves as its main theme! In a horrific night, rather disturbing characters and a soundtrack that will make us shake with fear. Wilds, free spins and a Pick and Click feature will lead us to extraordinary winnings in this 5×3 reels, 10 fixed payline slot.

In the hamlet of Moorgründ in the middle of the 18th century all the villagers are preparing to see how the full moon turns some of them into werewolves! Like every Halloween Eve, they would kidnap a young girl to transform her in turn. This year the only one who was going to turn 18 was Ingrid (the girl with the The Wolf's Bane™ potion). The girl didn't want fate to come down on her in this way.

Her mother (the lady of the lamp in The Wolf's Bane™) also didn't want to think that her only daughter was going to have to bow to the demands of the beliefs of these hamelin. They thought that if they didn't bend to fate, great disasters might befall them. But Ingrid had thought of everything and had spoken to her mother: she would escape but by pretending that one of the werewolves had come to get her.

Margaret the mother wasn't really sure what her daughter was going to do, but it would be better than knowing that she was going to become one of those monstrous beings. Everything was ready, but above all nobody knew about it because otherwise they would prevent her from leaving. They would meet at the home of one of Margaret's aunts who lived three days' journey from the hamlet. Ingrid and her mother had been there before and they knew the way.

The day after Halloween, the mother showing her sorrow to all the hamlets would say that she was going away to her family for a while and no one knew where she was from. She had married Wolfgang, a merchant, who had been killed on one of his journeys. It was two years ago now. Everything was ready! All we had to do was wait for nightfall! As soon as nothing is visible, Ingrid takes her bundle and starts her adventure...

Features and game mechanics of The Wolf's Bane™:

Winning combinations and payout values will be reflected in the payout table. Regular wild symbols act as wild symbols only and substitute all symbols except the scatter and bonus symbol. Wild symbol substitutions will pay the highest possible winning combination on a payline according to the paytable.

A win line is equal to the value shown in the paytable multiplied by the appropriate multipliers. The values of the symbols may change due to the value of the coins. Please note that only the highest win will be paid per line starting from the left to the right. Simultaneous wins will be added.

All coins will pay on the win lines except for coins won during the Pick and Click feature. At the end of the Pick and Click feature, the total win will be added to all other wins from the round that activated the Pick and Click feature. 3 or more scatter symbols that will appear anywhere on the reels in the main game and in the free spins as follows: 3 scatters will offer 10 free spins, 4 scatters will offer 20 free spins and 5 scatters will offer 30 free spins.

Before the free spins session starts, the wilds table appears and chooses one of the 4 wild features at random. During the free spins, a stacked wild symbol will appear on reels 1, 2 and 3 in each spin and will function as the active feature. The stacked wild symbol will appear randomly in a reel position that is not completely covered by a wild.

Scatter symbols will be counted before the wild symbols overlay or the wild feature is triggered. Additional free spins will be added automatically to the free spins already in progress without the need for the wild table to appear again. At the end of the free spins, the total winnings from the free spins will be added to all winnings since the spin that activated them.

In the gameplay of The Wolf's Bane™ online game, each free spins session will randomly trigger one of four different wild features that can appear anywhere on the reels. The regular wild symbol works like a normal wild symbol and substitutes for all symbols except the scatter symbol.

The automatically expanding wild symbols will span the entire reel where they will appear if a winning line results. Winnings can be doubled with the x2 wild symbol when it can complete a winning line. The Spreading Wild symbol will change into an adjacent or diagonal symbol in an additional wild. The Pick and Click feature will activate when 3 bonus symbols appear on the reels in the main game.

The bonus symbols will appear on reels 1, 3 and 5. The player must click on one of the bonus symbols to reveal a cash prize. Only 1 prize will be awarded per Pick and Click game. After the player has seen the prize the other two unselected bonus symbols will be revealed. The coin winnings in the Pick and Click game can vary between x5 and x50 per bet.

Review of The Wolf's Bane™:

With a spooky soundtrack and visual effects that will make our hair stand on end mixed in, The Wolf's Bane™ slot machine is the result of the fusion of four forms of wild! We are at the doorstep of Halloween and the provider owed it to its fans, and it must be said that as usual it does not disappoint us! An impressive graphic chart followed by a more than strange disturbing music that will immediately put us in the mood.

The symbols and wilds spin to the rhythm of a frightening sound but when the reels stop, it's something else: the winnings fall quite regularly for our great joy! The horror darkies will bring us more wins than scares, but it has to be said that the no download video slot The Wolf's Bane™ is truly magnificent and it's safe to say that it falls in Spades. NetEnt doesn't do things for nothing and it proves it once again with The Wolf's Bane™!

The player finds himself in the middle of an 18th century village, under the full moon, with werewolves, villagers, the game offers us free spins, wilds substitutions, and also a Pick and Click game that will take us to the deepest level of entertainment with everything that symbolizes horror. It's a very well done job by the great NetEnt team and it's not for nothing that it's among the best and that each new feature is highly anticipated!

What's more, if you're looking for horror slots, NetEnt suggests you check out Blood Suckers (2013), Blood Suckers 2 (2017) and/or Halloween Jack (2018).

The coin values range from €0.01 to €10, which means that we can bet from €0.10 to €100, as there are 10 fixed betting lines. It's wide enough to reach as many people as possible and that's good thinking! We have to satisfy everyone. From players who don't have a large wallet to experienced players who don't have problems financing their hobby. And here NetEnt knows how to do it as well, no doubt another success in sight. The player return is 96.74% with The Wolf's Bane™! Unfortunately, the volatility is average to low and there the player can find the only grey spot.
