You can travel to the wild ruggedness of the Far North on desktop or mobile from 0.20 to 100 credits per spin. The game has medium variance (5/10) with a default RTP of 96.55%. Some operators are offering the slot with the secondary RTP setting of 94.57%, always read the help files to find out which version you will be playing.

A dreamy winter wonderland with snowcapped firs is in the background of the semi-translucent game window. Some of most fabled wild creatures living in the northern regions dominate on the reels, while the Aurora Borealis acts as the scatter. An mystical soundtrack is interrupted by dramatic thumps when scatters land on the reels.

The pay symbols start at the low end with the card royals from 9 through to A, awarding 1x to 2.25x your stake for a single five of a kind. They are followed by the owl, wolf, bear and reindeer at the high end. Hit five on a line to win 2.5x to 6.25x your stake. The lynx is the wild symbol, substituting for all regular pay symbols and yielding 12.5x your stake when five land on a line. The Northern Lights icon acts as the scatter.

Wild North Slot Features

Get ready for a bonus feature frenzy as Play’n GO has included one for each of the wild creatures. Three bonus scatter symbols on the reels trigger the Northern Lights Bonus Game. The bonus feature wheel will appear and spin once to randomly award one of seven different bonus features.

• The Great Wilderness: Three free spins awarded, on which 4×4 mega symbols appear on reels two to five.
• Wild Lynx: Three free spins awarded, on which one or two entire reels turn into stacked wilds for the spin.
• Running Reindeer: One free spin awarded, on which the Reindeer symbol is stacked on reels two to four. One re-spin is awarded when Reindeer symbols appear fully stacked on the three centre reels or when they create a 3×3 mega block. Reindeer symbols are sticky on the re-spin.
• Savage Bear: One free spin awarded, on which a random from x5 and up to x30 multiplies the potential win landing on the spin.
• Wolf Pack: One free spin awarded, on which four Wolf symbols are guaranteed to appear. If additional Wolf symbols appear, one re-spin is awarded. Wolf symbols are wild and sticky for this feature.
• Eyes of the Owl: One free spin awarded, on which two large 2×2 Owl symbols appear. One or more re-spins may be awarded with sticky Owl symbols until you hit at least one winning symbol combination.
• Wild North Explorer: A grid including 20 tiles appears on the screen. Select tiles, one by one, to reveal hidden cash prizes, trigger any of the six above features. Unveiling an “X” or The Great Wilderness or Wild Lynx bonus features will end the game. In the case of the latter two, the round concludes after the features have been played out.

Final Verdict

Wild North is an intense game yet stands out for its high feature frequency. You could easily trigger it four or five times in 100 spins, although they often do not lead to big wins or any at all for that matter.  Still, it provides good entertainment and value for money as the medium volatility will ensure that balances will not head South to quickly.
