Theme & Design

In terms of graphics, this feels like a blockbusting video game. There’s endless detail in this slot, from the majestic mountains in the background to the individual blades of grass in the foreground. No detail has been left out. The theme is a strangely familiar one, remember Wolf Gold? Of course you do! It’s one of Pragmatic Play’s biggest successes, but Wolf Blaze Wowpot Megaways is a collaboration between Fortune Factory Studios and Games Global. Yet, this slot feels a whole lot like Wolf Gold. 

Leaving the strange similarities aside, Wolf Blaze does have a personality of its own. The feeling is North American wilderness, but more like Yellowstone than the Grand Canyon. You’ll see familiar North American animals on the reels and with graphics this good, you can’t be mad at the wolfy similarities.

RTP and Variance

With an RTP of 86.93%, Wolf Blaze Wowpot Megaways has positioned itself quite a way below what you’d hope for! It’s worth mentioning that there is a jackpot contribution of 5.30%, so while you’re getting a lower RTP, part of the reason is that a percentage of your stake goes directly to the progressive jackpot pool.

The volatility on this game is also high, and that certainly was the case when we tested it. The wait for anything of any significance to happen can be a long one!

Maximum Win

Wolf Blaze Wowpot has a progressive max win that starts at €2,000,000, for the largest of the jackpots, which is absolutely a prize worth shooting for! You do stand a better chance of landing it if you place higher bets, so keep that in mind. 

However, there’s also a top non-progressive max win of 18,163x your stake, which is a huge leap from the previous top prize of 5000X the bet. If big prizes are what you’re after and you don’t mind taking a considerable hit to RTP, this slot is a good choice.

Symbols and Paytable

The game features a dynamic 6-reel grid where the number of symbols per reel changes between 2 and 7 on each spin. An additional top tracker reel runs horizontally above reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. Wins are achieved by landing 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel.

There are 10 pay symbols in the game, plus a Wild and a Scatter. The low-paying symbols are 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A, which award between 0.8x and 1.8x the bet for 6 of a kind. The premium symbols include a bear, cougar, and eagle, which pay between 2x and 7.5x the bet for 6 matching symbols. The highest-paying symbol is the wolf, which awards 50x the bet for a 6-of-a-kind win.

The Wild Symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter Symbol.

Features and Gameplay

Wolf Blaze Wowpot Megaways offers the chance to shoot for the Wowpot jackpot, but a surprising number of other mechanics besides. Let’s take a look at how they all work!

Rolling Reels

Sometimes called cascades, the rolling reels come into play every time you make a win. Once your win has been paid, any symbols that are involved will disappear and new ones will come from above. If these make a new win, this is awarded and the process continues until no new wins are made. 

Wild Symbol

The wild symbol is a howling wolf on a gold coin. It can only appear above reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 and substitutes all normal pay symbols. 

Free Spins

If you land 4 or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels then the free spins round begins with 12 free spins (plus an additional 5 for every additional scatter you landed). This feature has a permanent win multiplier that begins at 1x and increases by +1 for every win you land. 

During the feature, scatters can only land on the top tracker reel and award 5 or 10 extra spins if you land 3 or 4 respectively. Once you run out of spins, the feature ends. 

Wowpot Progressive Pick Game

You can trigger the Wowpot Progressive Pick Game on any spin where a wild coin lands. The more wilds you land, the greater your chance of the feature triggering. You can also increase your chances of triggering this round by betting bigger. Each wild that lands is collected in a fire pit to the left of the reels shown in this screenshot.

When the game starts you’ll see 12 coins, with each of them hiding one of the jackpots (below). You pick one coin at a time until you’ve managed to pick the same jackpot three times. You’ll then instantly win that jackpot’s value, with the seed values shown below.

• Mini starts at €10
• Minor starts at €100
• Major starts at €50,000
• Wowpot! starts at €2,000,000

The Final Verdict

Wolf Blaze Wowpot Megaways firmly positions itself as a slot for jackpot chasers! The non progressive max win of 18,163x your bet is a huge step up from its previous 5,000x and this is combined with a chance to shoot for the Wowpot! With a seed value of €2,000,000. As is usually the case, the RTP has taken a hit and stands at just 86.93%, which even by progressive slot standards is pretty low. Combine this with high volatility and you’ve got a slot that’s unlikely to be terribly kind to your bankroll. Fortunately, great production and a combination of Megaways, cascades and multipliers just about carry you through those leaner spells whilst waiting for the big moments to drop. In short, another good addition to the WowPot series.
