Wolf Run Brings one of IGT’s Greatest Slots to Canadian Online Casinos
Wolf Run is undoubtedly one of the biggest success stories of IGT’s long history, capturing the imagination of land based players for many years with an excellent theme combined with great graphics and gameplay. The land based popularity is evidenced by the fact that even though the game is one of the oldest of IGT’s modern slots, dozens of the same machine can be found in casinos around Canada and beyond to this day, with queues of slots fans always waiting for a go on this veritable classic.
Unlike Wild Wolf, Wolf Run’s slightly darker and more sinister sequel, the game takes place in broad daylight and takes a somewhat lighter hearted look at the theme of wolves. Symbols include the Spirit Wolf and Wolf Statue, together with the Pack Leader and a White Wolf who will strike players as being significantly friendlier than the darker counterparts found in Wild Wolf.
As an older classic, players will be correct in the assumption that Wolf Run is played across a typical five reel layout. However, the focus is certainly not on simplicity and predictability, and Wolf Run immediately shook up the industry somewhat by offering players the opportunity to play over an impressive forty win lines on each spin. Line bets range from $0.01 to $5 and offer further suggestions as to the reasons behind the games enduring land based popularity, as such flexibility in both win lines and stakes allows it to appeal to a wide range of casino visitors.
The slot is also as feature packed as players have come to expect from IGT, with various different bonuses to spice up the action rather than relying solely on spinning the reels continually. The most common feature symbol is the Howling Wolf Wild Card which not only fills in blanks in winning combinations but also stacks, making it possible to cover whole reels with wilds. It also offers players the benefit of being the highest value symbol in its own right, with five or more paying out an impressive 1,000 times the line bet.
The Dream Catcher bonus symbol appears in Wolf Run just as it does in Wild Wolf, and has the same effect of awarding free spins to players that are lucky enough to see three on a single spin. As with the sister title, players begin with five free spins and can build more with additional scatters. Wolf Run’s bonus round is one of the simplest free spin games around, with players simply playing the same game but without having to stake any of their own money.
