Woolly Wilds - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Woolly Wilds slot review

Is this a video slot about sheep or wearing knitted jumpers in winter? No, the Woolly Wilds slot from Games Global is inspired by the woolly mammoth, with its five reels set in the prehistoric world in which this famous creature lived. The Woolly Wilds bonus features are not ancient, however, with free spins and jackpot prizes added to the 25 regular paylines. If you like your natural world with a little less human interference than Big Bass Christmas Bash, this may be a good option for you.

An untouched wildness

Humans love dinosaurs, so slots love dinosaurs. We have a fascination with the creatures that lived in this world long before we arrived. Woolly Wilds isn’t a dinosaur slot, but it is set in the prehistoric world in which nature held sway without human interference. Just look at those craggy mountains and skinny trees, with even the quality of the light looking different back then. Enter the free spins bonus and the yellowy sun is replaced by an atmospheric night sky.

Prehistoric beasts

Its background may be entirely landscape, with no fauna in sight, but the reels of Woolly Wilds are packed with beasts - and fierce ones at that. There is the mammoth, of course, which is perhaps the most iconic of the non-dinosaur ancient creatures. The front-on, close-up view may put us right on the end of his tusks, but he is not alone. Bears, wolves and stags connect this primal world to the world of today; however, a sabretooth tiger reminds us that we are not in the present.

Woolly Wilds RTP and variance

The usual RTP of the Woolly Wilds slot is 96.2 per cent, but some casinos may choose to set it lower. The variance is medium.

How to play Woolly Wilds

If you have played slots before, the base game at least should be easily navigable:

1. Our Woolly Wilds slot review can’t cover everything, so make sure you check out the rules and paytable to keep yourself informed. You will find these in the menu.
2. The menu is one of several buttons on the left, another of which is the settings. If you want to adjust things such as the sound, this is the place to go.
3. Your other major setting is the bet, which is adjustable using the stack coins button. Make sure you know your budget and limits and don’t wager more than you can afford.
4. Keep those limits in mind as you hit the spin button. You can’t control whether you win, but you can choose to play responsibly by using the timeout and self-exclusion functions.

How to win at Woolly Wilds

It is all very well saying that Woolly Wilds, like most slots, requires you to find combinations of winning symbols, but what exactly does this mean? Well, winning symbols have to be identical, they have to be in a sequence of at least three symbols, and they have to follow one of the 25 paylines that cross the reels. With five reels, the highest payout potential is when you find five symbols in a row. This may also help trigger a bonus jackpot for a bigger total win.

Top wins

Let’s take a closer look at the paytable:

• Woolly Wilds is like many slots in that the lowest win multiplier is applied to its card symbols. The ten is worth 1.75x your bet at most.
• When you reach the top of the paytable, the golden mammoth’s win multiplier for five-of-a-kind grows to 15x.
• Not only does the scatter symbol trigger free spins but also it can pay up to 100x your current wager. 
• Wilds don’t pay but can substitute for any other symbol but the scatter.
• Overall, the maximum win available is 15,000x.

When jackpot prizes are available, of course you want to try to win them. As for free spins, there is a reason so many online slots choose them as a primary feature: people love them.

Jackpots

You can see the available jackpots displayed by the side of the reels. In the base game, they are available at four levels: mini, minor, major, and grand. Entering gold mode opens up the super jackpot.

To open the jackpot container, you need to find a five-of-a-kind combination of winning symbols. The positions on the container may be marked by letters, each representing a jackpot. The higher your bet, the more letters are available. If an arrow lands on a letter, this is the jackpot you will be awarded.

Free spins

The scatter symbol is responsible for free spins, as in so many slots:

• 3 scatters = 10 free spins.
• 4 scatters = 15 free spins.
• 5 scatters = 25 free spins.

Two more scatters during the round will add five more spins, with three more increasing the total by ten. During the free spins, the fourth and fifth reels can be wild from top to bottom.

Max-win 15,000x

Woolly Wilds review - summary 

Woolly mammoths are not as represented as they could be in slots, so this is a slightly different take on a theme; what’s more, it is done with distinctive graphics. The mechanisms for the jackpot prizes are also unusual, and there are extra layers to the free spins round. As always, the only way you can tell whether a slot is for you is to give the reels a spin.
