The Wolf Treasure pokie is a fairly normal five-reel shot, though there are heaps of chances for bonus play, which we’ll cover in the next section of this expert review. As with many online pokies, the lower-paying spaces on the reels are represented by playing card symbols. Some slot machines try to apply the pokie’s theme to these symbols, and while that hasn’t happened here, they are stylized.
Both the King and Queen symbols have crowns; for some reason, the Ace icon integrates the Fleur-des-lis. We thought that it might be because IGTech is an Italian company and this might be a tribute to Florence, but it appears in Wolf Gold as well, so we’re not exactly sure what to make of this. In any case, it looks distinctive, which is what punters want pokie symbols to be.
The higher-paying symbols are all desert animals, such as a bison, eagle, horse, and lynx. They strike a good balance between being too cartoony and too realistic and are excellently animated. There are many pokie games which feature animals, so it’s important to be distinctive. Wolf Treasure is certainly up to the task.
Like most other pokies, Wolf Treasure has special symbols for punters to keep track of. The first of these is the Wild symbol, which is represented by the wolf. The Wild symbol can substitute for any symbol in a winning combination, with the exception of the two other special symbol types. The animation for the wolf, where it turns away from the punter and howls at the moon, is very striking.
The second special symbol, only appearing on the first, third, and fifth reels, is the Scatter. Unlike other high-value icons, the Scatter is represented by the desert landscape, a huge rock outcropping that extends into the night sky. Spinning three Scatters is how you activate one of Wolf Treasure’s bonus features.
There is one last symbol that is tied to unlocking Wolf Treasure’s jackpots and getting the game’s best payout: the money icon, which is represented by the full moon and has a cash amount on top of it. Using these symbols to create a payline will earn you the amount of money indicated on them, but in order to get to the bonus round, you’ll need to have six of them appear across the reels.
