Apparat Gaming unleash a howling Hold & Spin adventure in 5 Moon Wolf
This month, Apparat Gaming – the software developer famed for delivering quality iGaming titles with a German accent – is inviting players to embrace the call of the wild and join the pack for a howlingly good time in the brand-new release, 5 Moon Wolf Hold & Spin.
Offering medium volatility and max wins of 2,500x, 5 Moon Wolf Hold & Spin is a five-reel slot with 20 fixed paylines. Set in the imposing canyons of the American west, the game boasts a range of majestic predators on its reels, with eagles, bears, mountain lions and wolves all appearing as high-value icons.
The real “bite” of the game, however, comes in the form of its two distinct bonus features, which can be activated by hunting down three scatters or five full moons respectively. The first is a free spins round, while the second is Apparat’s popular Hold & Spin game, which is linked to four local jackpots.
Dealing with the two features in order, once three scatters have been hit, night will fall on the reels as at least eight free games are awarded. During these free spins, not only will all low value symbols be removed from the reels, but players can also extend the feature by landing further scatters or trigger an even more lucrative version of the Hold & Spin bonus in which the prizes for full moons are doubled.
The Hold & Spin feature, which is triggered by five or more full moons, begins with a pack of wolves chasing across the screen while a series of free respins are played as long as at least one new moon appears within the next three respins. This allows players to collect moons to win instant cash prizes as well as the Mini, Minor and Major local jackpots, with an additional Grand Bonus being awarded should they successfully fill all 15 reel spaces before the respins come to an end.
Of course, for players who are champing at the bit to enter the Hold & Spin bonus without triggering it manually, an optional Buy Feature is also available. With this granting them immediate access to the bonus for an additional stake, they can therefore bypass the luck factor and dive directly into the feature, where they’ll be able to sink their teeth into lunar-powered wins without needing to wait.
Martin Frindt, Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer at Apparat Gaming, said: “With Apparat’s signature Hold & Win feature already proving a howling success with players, we thought it was high time we gave the popular bonus another run out in our action-packed slot adventure, 5 Moon Wolf.
“Linked to four lucrative local jackpots, this exciting extra gives our new lupine-themed game plenty of bite – and when coupled with a free spins feature that uses only the slot’s higher-value symbols, we’re sure players are going to love taking a walk on the wild side now that 5 Moon Wolf Hold & Win is out.”

OnlyPlay Releases Pub Fruits
OnlyPlay has released Pub Fruits, a bright and lively 5×3 video slot with a classic fruit theme and a fun pub atmosphere. The reels are filled with juicy fruits, lucky sevens, shiny coins and warm golden colours. The retro design feels familiar, but the animations make it fresh and modern. Every spin looks colourful and smooth, and the game is easy to understand from the first second. It feels like stepping into a friendly pub where the lights are warm and the mood is always upbeat.
The real excitement starts with the Hold and Win feature. Players can chase four jackpot levels – Mini (x25), Minor (x50), Major (x100) and Grand (x500). Each coin you collect increases your chances and builds tension on the screen. The feeling of risk grows with every spin, and the moment before the result lands is full of anticipation. It is simple to play, but the adrenaline and excitement make it hard to stop.
Free Spins bring even more action to the game. Land 3, 4 or 5 Scatters to unlock up to 15 Free Spins, and retrigger them to keep the fun going. Wild symbols help create more winning combinations, while Jackpot symbols can appear in both the base game and Free Spins.
With 96.93% RTP, a 21.38% HIT rate and medium volatility, the gameplay feels balanced – steady wins with the chance for something much bigger. It is a mix of comfort and thrill that keeps every session interesting. Pub Fruits combines classic style, modern features and real excitement.
