Wolf Thunder (Belatra Games) Slot Demo & Review

The great American frontier has been used countless times as a theme for slots, resulting in plenty that have gone on to become classics that many love to play. Belatra is the latest to throw its hat into the ring with this theme, which, on this occasion, specifically focuses on the wolf. I can hear you all howl in appreciation at yet another wolf slot, but never judge a book by its cover, as this slot has plenty going for it. Wolf Thunder is a 5×4 slot with 25 paylines, a 96.03% RTP, and a generous maximum win of 12,000x the stake. 

The base game trundles along without too much going on aside from a 2-symbol-sized wild that always appears fully on the reels – even if the slot has to nudge fully in view itself. As you’d expect, the more exciting action comes when the two bonus games trigger. The first is a free spins bonus with a progressive win multiplier, and if you trigger it via five or more scatters, you get an upgraded version with bigger wins and the potential of winning the slot’s 12,000x the stake maximum win. The other is a Hold and Win bonus that could land you one of four fixed jackpots, the best of which is the Grand offering 10,000x the stake. 

Slow down now; stop acting like a pack of wolves stalking its prey. The Wolf Thunder slot demo is available and ready to play – and it isn’t going anywhere, so calm down.

Finding other wolf-themed slots to play is as easy as finding a hole in your sock. They’re everywhere, but many are not what they’re cracked up to be. For that reason, I recommend you start on slots such as Pragmatic Play’s Wolf Gold, one of the best in this genre, and Quickspin’s Big Bad Wolf, themed on the wolf in the Three Little Pigs. 

Next, it’s the pays section, and at the top of the paytable, we have the Wolf Wild symbol, which is worth 20x the stake for a 5-symbol combo. The Bear has a 12x top return, the Deer and Mountain lion both top out at 10x, and the Eagle is the last of the premiums and has an 8x maximum payout. The lower-paying symbols come in the form of the Ace, King, Queen, and Jack, which return 3x, 2x, 2x, and 1x, respectively.  

We end this section with the potential bets that can be placed on Wolf Thunder. The minimum spin bet supported begins at €0.25, and the maximum bet permitted is €100.00. This is a fairly comprehensive betting range, but I do fear that those with the lowest of playing budgets may be put off by the slightly higger than average minimum stake.

Wolf Thunder Slot base game

Wolf Thunder is a 5-reel and 4-row online slot with 25 fixed paylines. Winning combinations are formed and paid when three matching symbols line up across one of those paylines, starting from the first reel. 


Wild Symbols

The Wolf is the wild symbol, and it can land on all reels. It is two positions high, and should it appear half in view, it is nudged fully onto the screen. It substitutes for all regular paying symbols when winning combinations are possible. 


Bet+ 100% Feature

For double your spin bet, you can spin with an increased chance to trigger the above bonus games by activating the Bet +100% feature. 


Wolf Thunder slot bonus features

Wolf Thunder Slot bonus feature

As you spin the reels of the Wolf Thunder slot, there is a chance to trigger two bonus games. One is a free spins bonus, and the other is a Hold and Win game. Let’s find out more about what these offer below.


Free Spins Feature

Free spins trigger when three or more scatter symbols appear in any position on the reels. The number you receive depends on how many land and where they land. Each scatter gives you 1 free spin, but you also receive additional spins based on the number of positions below each scatter. The maximum number of free spins you can start the bonus game with is 40. The above also applies to one or more scatter symbols that land on the reels to award additional spins throughout the bonus round. 

The number of spins you receive is also the value of a global multiplier to the side of the reels. So, if you received 6 free spins, that global win multiplier is 6x. When scatters land to award additional free spins, they also increase the multiplier by the same number received. That multiplier value applies to all wins landed during the bonus.


Hot Mode Free Spins

This triggers if you land five or more scatter symbols. It is the same as above, but big wins appear more frequently, and in this version, it is possible to land the slot’s 12,000x the stake maximum win. 


Hold & Win Bonus

The Hold and Win bonus is triggered when six or more of the Money Symbols land in any position on the reels during the base game. Those symbols carry over and remain sticky on the reels. You receive 3 re-spins, which reset back to 3 each time one of the following symbols lands:

  • Money symbols. 
  • Bonus symbols with cash prizes of 20x – 100x the stake.
  • Mini (20x), Minor (50x), Major (1,000x), and Grand (10,000x) jackpot symbols.
  • Blanks with no value.

During the bonus, lightning can randomly hit one of the positions. It is given a re-spin, which can land bigger cash prizes or even one of the jackpots. If you fill all positions on the reels, that lightning returns to increase the cash values of some of the symbols.

Once you run out of re-spins or fill all positions with special symbols, the bonus game ends. You receive the values of all symbols collected.


Pros

  • Two solid bonus games with big win potential. 

Cons

  • Overused theme.

Wolf Thunder Slot Review Final Thoughts

The American Midwest slot theme has been done to death, as I’m sure most of you know. However, while Belatra has created another here, it does at least have some exciting features - particularly the two bonus games. Both offer great winning potential, too, as you can land the 12,000x max win in the free spins bonus and a 10,000x jackpot in the Hold and Win game.
