Start a game of Cool Wolf by deciding how much you would like to bet. Do this simply by using the “Bet” arrows on the bottom of the screen. Hit “Spin” when you are satisfied with your wager, or use the “Auto Play” function if you would like to play several times in a row without stopping.
Cool Wolf is all about wilds. As you spin, the Cool Wolf himself could come out at any time and turn reels 3, 4, and/or 5 totally wild with his Howling Wilds power! All you need is 2 matching symbols on the leftmost reels to make this a great spin. Furthermore, there are more than 40 wild symbols throughout the game, as well as stacked wilds on reels 3, 4, and 5 for maximum wild action.
The game’s main feature is Rolling Reels Free Spins, which are activated with 3 or more Scatters. When triggered, you’ll get 15 free spins on 3 symbols, 20 free spins on 4 symbols, or 25 free spins on 5 symbols. Every winning combination during the feature will disappear, allowing more symbols to fall into place. The more you win on each spin, the higher your multiplier will be – up to 10x!

I tend to try out Microgamings new slots each month as one of their affiliates will usually go around the major on-line forums posting names, links and videos to the new games and in the past MG were my undisputed favourite provider of on-line slots. I guess I didn't look at Cool Wolf too closely if I did see a video of it because it is very obviously yet another clone of "Break Away", the Ice Hockey themed game with "Rolling Reels" that Microgaming have cloned to death over the past year or two.
I already wrote a review of "Cricket Star" where I detailed this blatant milking of this particular slot model, so I won't repeat myself here. The fact is I do really enjoy Break Away, and "Rolling Reels" slots in general, so its a shame that I've come to be so annoyed over this particular slot engine.
Microgaming make a big thing in the paytable about the stacked wilds in these games, understandably I suppose - although they only appear on reels 3, 4 and 5. It is also possible to get a stacked wild on reel 2 under very specific circumstances, so if you are extremely lucky and get some top symbols on the first reel along with four reels stacked wilds (yes, it does happen, I've seen a screenshot!) then this game can payout a similar multiple of your bet to a four reel "Wild Desire" or "Wild Celebration" (from Immortal Romance or The Finer Reels of Life, if your not familiar) - that is a few thousand times your stake, by the way!
Like most 243 ways games, the base game wins are really very low but these games are all about the features - there is a 10x multiplier available in the feature for five or more consecutive rolling reel wins, and the stacked wilds mean it is possible to win many five of a kind combinations simultaneously, so the top symbols 10x payout isn't quite so small with these factors in mind.
All the same, Cool Wolf isn't a new game and if you have played Break Away you have already played this slot. There's really nothing new to see here and I'm not sure who this particular theme is designed to be appealing to, perhaps none sports fans as the rest of these clones are all based on one sport or another. It's a nice game all the same though.
