Wild North Slot

Alas Wild North isn't a slot based on an especially fruity night out in Manchester. The north of the title is the frozen polar north so think wild animals rather than wild parties. Created by Play 'N Go, it's a 5 reel, 40 payline title that comes with no fewer than 7 bonus features. Venture into the frozen wilds from between 20p and £50 per spin.



Set against a snowy, forest backdrop, the reels in Wild North include owls, wolves, bears and reindeer as well as playing card values from A to 9. The Lynx is the wild symbols, substituting for all symbols apart from the scatter. That scatter is the Northern Lights which is the key to unlocking the array of bonus features.

Find 3 scatters and you'll activate the Bonus Feature Wheel - the wheel will spin and you'll be randomly allocated one of the seven bonus features. They are described as follows:

  • Get The Great Wilderness feature and you'll be awarded 3 free spins. During the free spins, 4x4 mega symbols will be added to reels 2 and 5 on each of the 3 free spins.
  • The Wild Lynx feature will also get you 3 free spins - this time though, 1 or 2 reels will be turned wild for each spin.
  • The Running Reindeer feature will get you 1 free spin with the reindeer symbol stacked on reels 2 to 4. When the reindeer symbols appears fully stacked on any of the middle 3 reels, you'll be awarded a re-spin.

One free spin is also on offer via the Savage Bear feature. That spin will be boosted by a random multiplier though which can reach up to 30x.

Find the Wolf Pack feature and it's 1 free spin. A large 2x2 wolf symbol will be added to the reels. If another wolf appears, you'll be awarded a re-spin. Wolves in this round are wild for the duration.

Two jumbo 2x2 owls are added to the reels during the Eyes of the Owl feature. The reels will keep on spinning until a winning combination appears.

Finally, there's the Wild North Explorer feature. You'll be presented with a grid featuring 20 tiles - pick squares to win cash prizes or any of the features listed above. If you find the one spin bonuses you'll return to the grid to pick again once the feature has played out. If you find the three spin games, the feature ends after you've played that bonus. Similarly, if you find the X your picking will be done.

Wild North is a highly entertaining slot - the selection of bonus features really spices things up. The Bonus Feature Wheel appears at fairly regular intervals and can deliver some impressive awards, especially the Wild Lynx feature. Throw in the quality visuals and sweeping soundtrack and it all adds up to make Wild North a high quality all round performer.

Wild North is a medium variance slot which is one of my favourite games from Play ‘N Go – other ones I play regularly include the overlooked Aztec Idols and Pearls of India.
