Hood Vs Wolf Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Hood vs Wolf

Get ready for a different take on the age-old fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf in this exciting slot from designers PG Soft.

The first thing you will notice is the anime-style symbols, and once you are into bonus games the stylised action figures.

Once you get over the design you will recognise the 5x3 reel layout and 30 fixed paylines as standard and be happy to discover there are eleven paying symbols in the base game, including a wild.

There is a constant battle feature above the reels between the protagonists, which leads to two free spin bonus games. During the base game you can also trigger the mini janken feature involving a game of paper, scissors and rock which leads to more winnings.

The wild substitutes for all symbols other than the janken symbols and Hood or Wolf’s power tiles. These include Hood, her picnic basket and flowers, three depictions of the wolf and four playing cards.

Fans of PG Soft’s work will find other free-to-play examples of their games by checking out PG Soft slots here at Slots Temple, whilst if you are looking for another slot based on the Red Riding Hood theme, try the Miss Red demo slot - also found at Slots Temple.

The game is available in demo mode, and we recommend taking advantage of this before playing in a casino.

Theme, Graphics and Soundtrack

Hood Vs Wolf is loosely based on the Red Riding Hood tale, but not as we know it. The fantastic anime design from PG Soft drags the story firmly into the 21st century. This is particularly the case in the Hood and Wolf bonus games as the characters spring to life - Hood as a warrior girl and the wolf in his most terrifying guise.

Throughout the base game you will be treated to a rocking sound track and solos during the bonus games. Actors have provided voices for the main protagonists as they struggle for dominance at the top of your screen, adding to the high-quality visual and audio production standards of this game.

Hood Vs Wolf RTP and Volatility

The official RTP of this slot is 95.39%, and the game is classified as medium volatility. All this means big wins are hard to come by even in the bonus games, but lower winning lines still come along regularly.

Hood Vs Wolf Bonus Features

The first bonus feature is found in the base game with the mini janken game when the rock, paper and scissor symbols appear on reels 2 and 4 and award the player a special win.

The other main feature in this mode is the battle feature. Hood and the Wolf begin on nine points each, but these values change as their power symbols appear on the reels. Each character’s values will increase by the difference between the number of times each appears on the reels. The aim is to reach 18, at which point the Hood feature or the wolf feature will appear as a bonus game.

In this game of three rounds of another janken challenge, each character chooses a symbol. In the Hood game each game won provides five free spins, and five random positions are framed on the reels. If wolf, tail or claws appear in any of those positions, they will change into wilds.

In the Wolf game the rules are reversed with hood, basket or flowers generating wilds.

Our Verdict

This is a great slot from a trusted designer. It boasts great bonus rounds and interesting features in the base game with prizes from the janken game.

The design is first class, and the Japanese influence means this is a truly modern twist on an old story.

There are a few drawbacks. For example, we found it took some time to win entry into the bonus games via the battle feature. Also, winnings did not seem to reflect the claims for the mechanics of the game.

That is a small price to pay, however, for a thoroughly entertaining slot.
