We rarely have anything bad to say about the look and sound of Net Entertainment titles and Wolf Cub maintains the developer's usual lofty standards. The setting is a snow-filled forest - symbols on show include lower value heart, diamond, club and spade symbols which are carved from wood. These offer payouts of 5, 20 or 80 coins if you land 3, 4 or 5 on a payline.
More valuable are the 5 animal symbols - the owl pays up to 150 coins, the snow leopard up to 200, the moose up to 250 and the bear up to 300. The most lucrative animal is the wolf cub - 3, 4 or 5 of these on a payline will get you 50, 250 or 600 coins. There's also a wild that substitutes for everything bar the scatter - it also offers payouts of 5, 25 or 100 times your total stake!
The silhouette of the moon is the scatter – 3 or more of these anywhere on the reels on the same spin trigger the Free Spins feature. All of the reels with a scatter will then spin with numbers replacing the usual symbols. At the end of the spin, all of the numbers on view are added together and this is the number of free spins you'll receive – up to 115 free spins can be won.
Look out too for the Blizzard feature that can land during the free spins - this is triggered when a symbol lands fully stacked on reel 1. All of the symbols that match that symbol spread towards reels 1 to create new winning combinations. For example, if you get the wolf cub stacked on reel 1 it also appears on reel 5 on all 3 rows, it will spread to give you wolf cub symbols on all reel positions!
The design in Wolf Cub is as glossy and high end as we've come to expect from NetEnt - the cartoon-style visuals are very easy on the eye and the action plays out to a jaunty backing track which is an ideal accompaniment. No complaints here then.
As far as features go, there isn't a huge variety on offer. The Free Spins feature offers the best winning potential, especially after if the Blizzard feature lands with a high value symbol. Get lucky there and the Wolf Cub could leave you howling with delight. This game can be exclusively found at Mr Smith Casino by the way.
