video slots with themes that feature adorable animals have become all the rage in recent years, with the improvements in 3D animations and software providers pandering to particular audiences. NetEnt has designed a video slot that features a variety of cute animals, some of which we would usually stay away from in real life, but in Wolf Cub we cannot resist their adorable, furry charm.

Wolf Cub is a slot with five reels and 20 fixed paylines, and will provide plenty of high-quality entertainment with its 3D animations that bring the woods to life.

Graphics & Theme

As already mentioned, the improvements in software technology have given developers the opportunity to create almost realistic depictions of animals and people, bringing them to life in games like Wolf Cub through spectacular graphics. The visuals are stunning and the entire story of the slot is set in a forest, covered in snow, while the reels spin and snowflakes keep falling.

The audio is as good as the graphics, and when you hear the wolf cub howling, you can almost pretend it’s a real wolf if you close your eyes. Sound effects accompany the action on the reels perfectly as well.

Gameplay

In the Wolf Cub slot, a wolf paw print in the snow is the wild symbol, substituting for all other symbols, except the Full Moon Scatter symbol, which activates the Free Spins bonus feature in the game.

Landing three or more Full Moon Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels will activate free spins. The slot can award a different amount of free spins, with the maximum being a rather respectful 115.

Another bonus feature appearing during the game is the Blizzard Feature, triggered matching symbols fill up the entire first reel. When this happens, symbols from the first reel will expand across rows to connect with any of the matching symbols anywhere on the reels. Ideally, you want to land the full stacks of the same symbols on the first and the last reel, as this will give you the maximum number of full paylines.

Wolf Cub happens to be another excellent NetEnt video slot, with high-quality graphics and exciting bonus features. The Blizzard Feature may be annoying at times, but it is certainly innovative and something we haven’t seen before, which is always good.
