Normally a man described as a wolf would be a lecherous and avoidable creature. But in the Microgaming video pokie Cool Wolf, the dude is a hit with the girls. Cool Wolf is a sort of Jekyll and Hyde person. During college hours he is a bespectacled geek. But in the evening he transforms into a guitar strumming wolf with shirt buttons wide open.
Cool Wolf is a 243 ways to win online video pokie at Microgaming online casinos like Casino Mate and Royal Vegas. Players will recognise that it uses the same template as the popular sports series that includes titles like Cricket Star and Rugby Star. The scene is set in a Los Angeles type city called Howlingwood. The high paying symbols are the cool wolf, a couple of cheerleader fans, hot wheels, a movie theatre and classy shades. The low paying symbols are brightly coloured playing card icons. Cool Wolf has the Rolling Reels feature. Symbols in winning combinations are slashed away by the wolf’s claws and replaced by new ones. This process continues till there are no new winning combinations formed.
The artistically designed game logo is the wild symbol. There are more than 40 of them on the reels in order to boost your wins. The wild symbols will appear stacked on reels 3, 4 and 5. The Cineplex ticket is the scatter symbol. It awards payouts multiplied by the total bet when three or more land anywhere on the reels. The Howling Wild feature is randomly triggered. One of reels 2, 3 or 4 will turn completely wild with graphic animations of the nerd transforming into a wolf. You are guaranteed a payout when this happens.
The scatter symbol also activates the free spins feature. Three scatter symbols award 15 free spins, four scatter symbols award 20 free spins and five scatter symbols award 25 free spins. The Rolling Reels in the free spins come with increasing multipliers. Consecutive wins in the same spin will be paid successively at 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x and 10x. The multiplier resets at 1x for the next free spin. The free spins feature cannot be re-triggered.
The total bet in Cool Wolf is 50 times the line bet. This is not unseemly given that the Rolling Reels feature can provide multiple payouts in the same spin. The top tine payout is 500 times the line bet and the top scatter payout is 100 times the total bet.
