Introducing Wolf 81 from Live 5
Latest slot to leave developer’s production line beautifully tackles the neon theme and combines it with an innovative Free Spins bonus feature
Live 5 is taking players to a neon jungle where fluorescent wolves glow in the latest video slot to leave its production line, Wolf 81.
The game beautifully masters the neon theme but with a unique twist. Set across four reels and with 81 ways to win, players will want to trigger the Free Spins bonus as something special awaits.
This is achieved when two or more adjacent Wolf symbols appear anywhere on the reels. This activates Respins and the unique Free Spins entry mechanic.
At this point, the player chooses which Free Spins feature to player for – Win Spins (Win every spin), Moon Spins (Cash prizes), Multiplier Spins (Progressive multiplier) or Wild Spins (Expanding wilds.)
Respins then fire into action, and players move along a trail collecting additional Free Spins along the way. If they hit the top, they will also win a Random Jackpot Multiplier (max 8,100x).
The Free Spins then play out with the previously chosen bonus with the Random Jackpot Multiplier added to the overall win, so long as it has been unlocked.
Players can play for all four Free Spins bonuses or they can find their favourite and play for that each time the bonus feature is triggered by the adjacent Wolf symbols.
Wolf 81 has medium volatility and a return to player of 95.95% – 96.35%. It is certified for launch in markets including the UK, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Denmark, Malta jurisdictions and Loto Quebec.
Lloyd Butler , CEO at Live 5, said: “Wolf 81 is our take on the neon theme and I must say the design team has done a phenomenal job. This is a truly striking slot to look at.
“Of course, our talented math team has also played its part in developing glowing gameplay to match. This has been achieved through the innovative Free Spins bonus.
“By giving players the choice of four different Free Spins to play for the game becomes more engaging as players work their way through each until they find their favourite.
“We look forward to seeing Wolf 81 brighten up operator game lobbies and for players to journey down the trail and watch as the reels glow and the Free Spins and bonuses play out.”
