Wild North Review - Editor’s Impressions

The snowy Scandinavian wilds are filled with Wild lynx, savage bears and running reindeer. The Wild North slot machine has a Feature Wheel and Wild North Explorer bonuses.

We like that the Bonus Feature Wheel activates one of seven exciting bonuses. It also leads to the Wild North Explorer feature with cash prizes and bonus features. The graphics really enthralled us making the gaming experience more enjoyable. It is also nice that there are Free Spins available. 

You’ll learn more about these features in this Wild North slot review.

Overview of Wild North Game

Wild North real money slot is powered by Play’n GO. It has five reels, four rows and 40 paylines. 

The lower paying symbols are the typical playing card symbols of 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A. The animals of the bear, reindeer, owl, and wolf payout more and the lynx Wild symbol is the highest paying symbol in the game. 

The Wild substitutes for all other symbols besides the Northern Lights Scatter symbol. The Scatter is the symbol that triggers the bonus with seven bonus features available, which we will explain in more detail below. You will need at least three matches on a payline for a payout. 

Wild North RTP, Payout and Volatility

The Wild North game has a decent RTP rate of 96.55%. It has medium volatility and a 2,500x maximum payout. You can bet £0.20 to £50 per spins, which is a rather wide betting range but may not be best suited for high stakes players. 

Wild North Graphics and Gaming Experience

The Wild North slot demo has a snowy background picture. It’s set in the wild with symbols: northern lights, lynx, reindeer, bear, wolf and owl. It has a chilled, windlike sound which becomes more dramatic as you trigger wins. The real life graphics of the animals are a nice touch and the colours are beautiful and calming. 

The atmosphere of the Wild North online casino game changes when you trigger the Northern Lights Bonus. Lightning is at play in the background picture. If you open a tile with an animal bonus feature, you’ll hear the animal’s sound and see it move.

Wild North Bonus Features

Three Scatter symbols trigger the Northern Lights Bonus game. The bonus Feature Wheel appears and one of the seven bonuses is on it. The bonus features are the Wild North Explorer, Eyes of the Owl, Wolf Pack, Savage Bear, Running Reindeer, Wild Lynx and the Great Wilderness Bonuses. When you first see the wheel the feature that illuminates is the feature you win. 

The Wild North Explorer is a grid game. It has 20 tiles facing down. Click on a tile to reveal a cash prize or one of the six other features on the Feature Wheel. The Running Reindeer, Savage Bear, Wolf Pack and Eyes of the Owl take you back to the grid game to reveal more tiles.

However, revealing the Great Wilderness and Wild Lynx awards the necessary bonus and ends the Bonus game. It ends immediately when you reveal the red X image.

Wild North Free Spins

Eyes of the Owl rewards one Free Spin. It has two sticky large owl symbols covering two slot reels and row positions (2x2). One or more Re-spins are awarded until you win. 

Wolf Pack also awards one Free Spin. The wolf is a Wild, and four stick on the reels. When more Wilds appear, you get an additional spin. In this feature the Wolf Wild substitutes for all other symbols besides the Scatter. 

Savage Bear has one Free Spin. A random multiplier of up to 30x is awarded before the spin.

The Running Reindeer awards one Free Spin with stacked reindeer symbols on reels 2 and 4. You're rewarded with an additional spin when they cover the three middle reels.

Wild Lynx has three Free Spins. The Wild symbol will entirely cover one or two reels on each of the Free Spins. 

The Great Wilderness also awards three Free Spins. Mega (4x4) symbols cover reels two to five on each of the Free Spins.

Wild North is that slot set in the cold with all the relevant animals relating to the cold. A slot with much different bonus features, also at the same time bonus easily, but can pay poorly 90% of the time, to main RTP of course. I would say one of the best slots for wagering bonuses, but unfortunately, this slot is restricted by many casinos when playing with bonus funds.

This slot is set in an ICY, snow-cold setting that looks almost like Antarctica. You will find your normal Royals, 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A's – Followed by Bears, Cats, Wolfs, and a Reindeer. Paytable is low, but with 40 paylines and multipliers, payouts can be huge.

So the base game is very easy. You win often, most probably 3/5 spins, although he wins are very small as in 5x less than your bet amount. However wilds are pretty active and landing scatters on reels 1, 3, and, 5 is very easy. I am sure, out of 10 spins you will at least get 2/3 bonus attempt triggers if I may call it that.

Once you enter the bonus feature, you are presented with 7 features on a circle and the reel will spin choosing a feature.

- Wolf Feature – Wolf Becomes Wild and Sticky during the spin. Every time a new wolf lands, the reels spin, and pay is awarded.

- Eagle Feature – 2 x (2x2) eagles are placed on the reels, and this spin completes when a win occurs, it keeps on re-spinning

- Bear Feature – a Random multiplier up to 25x is awarded for that specific spin.

- Reindeer – Stacked Reindeers appear on all reels making it easier to win. If you managed to get enough rein deers on reels, 2, 3, and 4 another spin is awarded for big wins.

- The cat which is wild, up to 1 or 2 stacked cats can fill the reels for wins.

The portal awards a bonus pick me feature that awards tiles and all of the other features, and is the best feature, but can end easily after 2 picks. I do not like it to be honest.

Overall, great slot, great bonus features, and a slow balance builder slot.

Wild North has been my favourite slot for about 4 months now. I am constantly fighting with my loss/win rate with this game. My biggest win from the game is 1430€ with a 20.00 € bet. It is also my biggest win ever. What I can say, sometimes it takes a little and then it gives it back.

The reason why I love this game is that I usually get to the bonus rounds with big bets. I also tried 50,00€ bet recently, hit bonus but won nothing. That was the Wolf Pack too. I don't recommend a bet this high; you can win a thousand with just 10,00€. I play with small 0,20 to 0,40 bets and then suddenly switch to higher when I think a bonus is coming next. Also have gone empty pocketed a few times. Anyway, it's usually 1 - 1 with me and Wild North so I just hope I get a huge win someday and Mr. Bear loses :'D

I love the 4x4 mega spins too! I wish for owls and wolves to the left, because 90% of the time I get them to the right as a mega symbol. Sometimes a bear too. Reindeer & Wild as mega symbols are rare but if you get them you win a LOT.

The bonus rounds come approximately every 37 spins. It is acceptable, but remember to play with small and keep in mind the longer it stays away the bigger is the probability it's about to come. Then switch the bet to 5€, 10€ or 20€.
No, I still don't recommend the 50,00€ haha.

This is one of those games where it's hard to win, but when you win it can be huge.

This game is visually pleasant to the eye. I like the cold magic and mysterious theme.

DISLIKED

I like how Wild North looks, but I don't like the change in the music. The quiet background is cool but when you win it goes too loud. I usually play without sounds so I can really focus in the randomness of the game.

I don't like the reindeer bonus round. The odds to win seem to be smaller maybe because this symbol is the most valuable one in Wild North. Most of the time I win nothing from the Reindeer.

The first thing that struck my dislike a little bit, is the 5-reels 4-rows format of the game. I've never liked this format, except for a very few games that have managed to make it appear pleasant and comfortable enough for my viewing. For this Wild North game, it is still acceptable to me, because the overall appearance is still comfortable enough, without looking very cluttered, without having very small game icons, that would tend to hurt the eyes after long viewing. Perhaps the snowy background scenario kept things looking cool, but I would prefer those game icons to be a little bit more vibrant than they are right now. They are looking a bit monotonous.

The Lynx is the Wild symbol, 5 of which pays 12.5x the total bet, and substitutes for other symbols except for the Scatter symbol. Yep, it's a dumb Wild symbol in the base game, with no doubling of wins, with no stacking on the reels, and with no expanding on the reels either. The Northern Lights is the Scatter symbol, also another dumb symbol which doesn't even pay for itself, but getting 3 of them triggers the Northern Lights Bonus game. All the other symbols pay from 6.25x down to 1x the total bet amount, for 5 of each kind. A very low paytable indeed, almost an extremely low one.

There are 7 different features in the Northern Lights Bonus game, randomly selected from a Bonus Wheel when the Bonus game has been triggered. The Great Wilderness awards 3 free spins, with a 4x4 Mega symbol appearing on reels 2 -5 on each free spin. The Wild Lynx awards 3 free spins, with 1 or 2 reels becoming Wild Reels on each spin. The Running Reindeer awards 1 free spin, with the Reindeer stacked on reels 2-4, and a respin for a fully stacked Reindeer appearing on reels 2, 3 and 4. The Savage Bear awards 1 free spin, with a random multiplier of up to 30x. The Wolf Pack awards 1 free spin, with a 2x2 Mega Wild Wolf symbol appearing on the reels, and a respin for any new wolf appearing. The Eyes Of The Owl awards 1 free spin, with 2 2x2 Mega Owl symbols appearing on the reels, with a respin until a win has been achieved. The Wild North Explorer awards 1 free spin, whereby you pick tiles out of the 20 tiles shown, to win prizes or feature games, one at a time, until an 'X', a Lynx or a Tiger symbol is encountered to end the picking. You could play a few feature games, one at a time, until the tile picking ends.

These 7 different feature games make Wild North an interesting game, with good win potentials for each of them, and probably the best possible wins coming from the Wild North Explorer feature, where you may get a few feature games to play, one at a time, within that same tile picking game. The best I've gotten so far, was 2 feature games, with the pick after that getting the 'X' symbol. That Bonus game paid me a nice 79x my bet amount, but is still far from being a good win.

DISLIKED

My first dislike, is the 5-reels 4-rows format. The second, the very low paytable. The third, the very hard to get Bonus games. The fourth, those 1 free spin feature games that ended up paying zero, twice for me, which were totally disappointing, considering how hard it was to get them. This Wild North game may offer decent payouts at times, but getting those really bigger wins maybe be really hard to get. Most of the payouts tend to be below 10x the total bet amount.

Wild North is a video slot game from Play N` Go which is graphically brilliant. This is an amazing game with lots of features that always seems to surprise me. I really enjoy playing this particular game even though I have not managed to land some memorable wins. This is one of those addictive games that you always play for no particular reason.

Wild North is a 5 reels and 40 pay lines video slot game. I personally think that this is one of the best releases to date from this provider. I found this game to be high variance so to be honest there were many times when I did not win anything good. Many times I have played this game I was ending up empty pocketed. The reason I play this slot is because there is a wide range of features and they are really rewarding too.

The most important symbol in this game to me is the Northern Lights symbol. This is the scatter in this game and once you land 3 of these symbols you will come across 7 bonus features. Until now I have managed to trigger only 3 of them. The first time I played this game I activated the Wild Lynx feature. I got 3 free spins with 2 reels covered by Lynx wild symbols. Then the Savage Bears where I got 1 free spins with x 10 multiplier. The multiplier in this feature goes from x 5 to x 30. The Wolf Pack feature awarded me with 1 free spin and a win of only 10 x bet. And the last feature that I manage to trigger was the Wild North Explorer which turns out to be the most rewarding but I got only 50 x bet.

Wild North is a video slot game that I will recommend for sure. I know that I will play it again very soon and I also want to see the potential of the features that I have not activated until now.

This game was a bit of a let down for me but it does at least have nice graphics - I expect no less from Play N Go these days though! There is just one bonus game that was good to me, the "Wild North Explorer" which is basically a Pick Me bonus round but it's possible to keep on picking extra bonus games for quite a while sometimes. Of course sometimes you'll find yourself booted out on your first pick too, which isn't so great!

DISLIKED

I've enjoyed the vast majority of Play N Go slots I have tried out recently and expected to love Wild North too, but in all honesty it left me really quite underwhelmed. Despite having 40 paylines I always seemed to be missing winning combinations probably because the game uses a four-high layout rather than the more typical three. I definitely think the 4x5 playfield size works out a little better when the game uses 1024 pay ways like Microgamings "Leagues of Fortune".

There's lots of features in the game all of which are triggered by catching the Northern Lights bonus symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 which sets in motion a bonus wheel which decides exactly which feature you will receive. The first few times I landed this I was inevitably disappointed to discover I was only going to get ONE free spin, albeit with some additional feature on the reels - for example I keep getting the Owl feature all the time which adds two large 2x2 Owl symbols to the reels and then respins until you get a win. Almost every time though the owls are positioned in such a way that it's VERY difficult to win on anything more than a single payline so it's really quite pointless.

The rest of the features aren't much better either, the best of them give you just three free spins and even though they promise "Up to 2 reels fully stacked wilds" or "Huge 4x4 symbols added to reels" I inevitably get only one reel stacked nine times out of ten and actually landing any of those huge monster symbols in any of your three spins, well it just never happens!

Wild North is Play'n GO software game with 5 reels and 40 paylines. It has nice theme about north wildlife, I like the animal symbols. The design is good so as graphics and sounds.

I played at 0.2€ bets and I had no good run on it. The game offer northern lights bonus game. This bonus is trigger by 3 scatter symbols. When bonus game starts, you have bonus wheel and wheel will illuminate the feature you win. There are sever bonus features. The great wilderness, wild lynx, running reindeer, savage bear, wolf pack, eyes of the owl and wild north explorer.

When I played I received only one feature. This was wolf pack. I received one free spins with large wolf symbol. I don't think this is a good feature, because there is only 1 free spins. You can win respin when additional wolves appear. But I don't like it because there was only one free spins. This is really bad feature. I won only x4 bet size.

After I saw this win, I closed the game. I was angry because I was waiting long time to trigger feature and the result from it was bad. I don't think this is best feature, but even others could not provide huge winnings, I think. I played many Play'n GO games, but never received more than x50 bet.

The graphics is good, but all other things are bad. I am sure I will not play this game in near future. It dissapointed me. Two scatter symbols could paid something back. The features are bad, most of them offer only 1 free spins, two of them 3 free spins. I think best feature are first and second but it is harder to get them. This game could offer much more free spins into features not only 1 or 3. It is funny with this small numbers of free games.

"Play'n Go" is another gaming software providers that really cares about offering high quality design and the most innovative and engaging special features on its slots, and these is proved again through its new slot "Wild North", a 5 x 4 reels slot released just last August 27, 2015 and inspired by the wildlife of the cold Scandinavia; the game is available in versions for desktop and mobile, it has a medium level of variance and a theoretical RTP of 96.50%.

The dynamics of the game takes place between constant hits during the base game achieved largely thanks to permanent intervention of the wild symbol that works only as substitute, many hits but quite small payouts, but this should not discourage us because the game seems to be configured to trigger its multigaming bonus round too often, feature that is achieved by the simultaneous emerging of 3 scatters that appear only on reels 1, 3 and 5, round that is the central show on this game.

Once the bonus round is activated, we can access and enjoy one among seven characteristics which is determined randomly by a mechanism similar to a wheel of fortune, and they are:

1) The Great Wilderness: they are 3 free spins with 4 x 4 mega symbols of all the animals that occupy reels 2 to 5 and reel 1 spins with single symbols.
2) Wild Lynx: 3 free spins with 1 or 2 wild reels randomly positioned.
3) Running Reindeer: 1 free spin with 3 center reels stacked with the symbol of the reindeer.
4) Savage Bear: a free spin with a random multiplier of up to 30x.
5) Wolf Pack: here we see wolf tracks heading towards left side and right in the place where it stops it appear a 2 x 2 wolf symbol, then a free spin is given to us and every wolf symbol appears will have the same function of wild symbol, if new wolf symbols appear 1 new free spins will be added to our round.
6) Eyes of the Owl: they appear two large 2 x 2 owl symbols on the reels, and one free spin is given to us over and over again until we get to hit a combination.
7) Northern Lights Bonus Game: on a grid of 5 x 4 we choose one frame at a time to reveal a symbol like this:
- Cash: we get an instant bonus and we have the right to choose another square.
- Picture with 5 animals, lynx or "X": we enjoy the respective bonus round and then the main bonus round automatically ends.
- Reindeer, wolf, owl and bear: we enjoy the respective bonus round and then we have the right to choose another square.

All these features are great and the only features that sometimes I end without winning bonuses are those numbered 3 and 4, awards usually given by the rest of features arguably range from small to decent, never huge, so because of this and small payouts during the base game, we the players must fight like wild beasts to get some profit in this game, even though I do believe it's worth sitting down to play "Wild North" for a long time since I found it a video slot incredibly fun and exciting, and it is also possible to make some money on it, why not.
