I felt the allure of the wild in Wolf Call Online Slot by Microgaming and SpinPlay Games, a 5x3 reel, 1024 payline slot with medium volatility. The game takes place in the North American wilderness where forest creatures and a majestic white wolf appear as symbols on opaque reels. A special zone on the reels elevates your potential and the game’s bonus features include free spins and multipliers. I played this nature-centric experience on the go thanks to it being compatible with all platforms.

The feature selection creates a good balance of energy across the base and bonus games with overlapping winning opportunities.
Power Range
When I began playing, I noticed the 2x3 sized blue rectangle at the centre of the grid. Any wilds that I landed here during the base game received a 2x multiplier boost. During free spins, the rectangle expanded to cover the three centre reels, delivering wild multipliers of 2x, 3x, or 5x.
Diamond Meter Jackpots
All the wild symbols that appeared during the base game were collected in the diamond meter above the reels. Once I filled up the meter, the Diamond Jackpot feature triggered, where the reels were replaced by a 3x5 grid of diamonds. I was directed to click on the diamonds and when I did, they revealed yellow, red, purple, or green diamonds that corresponded to jackpot prizes of 20x, 50x, 200x, or 5000x my bet, respectively. All I had to do to claim one of these was revealed 3 gems of the same colour.
Free Spins
Landing 3, 4, or 5 scatters awarded me 10, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. As I mentioned before, the Power Range now covers reels 2, 3, and 4 and delivers increased potential. The Buy feature was also on hand to give me a shortcut to 10 free spins in exchange for 50x my bet.
Wolf Call slot gets most things right, but the overall experience didn’t have me howling with delight. The game’s theme has a pleasant, classic aesthetic with captivating illustrations of nature and wildlife. The Power Range feature really came in handy for boosted wins, especially during free spins and the build-up of the Diamond Jackpot in the background added a sense of anticipation that kept me playing.
Wolf Call is a competently created title, that I am certain will find a decent following, but for my tastes, it lacked the spark necessary to make it truly memorable. If you’re up for a trip to the wilderness with solid features and a top potential prize of $250 000, I’d recommend this game.
