Blood Moon Wilds Slot Review

Victorian-era New Orleans is the setting for the Blood Moon Wilds slot game, an unusual werewolf-themed title from Yggdrasil Gaming. It’s a 5 reel, 20 payline game that comes with 4 modifier extras that can trigger at random on any spin. Land a full moon in the Lunar Meter above the reels and all the high value symbols turn wild. There’s also a Free Spins feature that awards free spins with the modifiers in play. Play this horror adventure, on all devices, from between 10p and £100 per spin.



Deliciously creepy sound & visuals

Like most slot games in the Yggdrasil Gaming catalogue, the design in Blood Moon Wilds is excellent. With a mansion shrouded in mist in the background, the reels are set within iron gates. The symbols appear on wooden panels and include playing card suits and 4 higher paying character symbols. The best of them is the flame-haired woman who awards 2.5, 10 or 50 times your stake if you land 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

 Lunar Calendar wilds

You’ll notice that we haven’t yet mentioned a wild. There isn’t a specific wild as such. The higher value character symbols can morph into wilds though with the Lunar Calendar feature. Above the reels you’ll see a Lunar Calendar where the moon in different phases of its cycle appears. If you land a full moon in the Lunar Calendar window, all the higher value character symbols on the reels below turn wild and a new payout calculation is made.

4 randomly triggered modifiers

The Blood Moon Wilds online slot comes with plenty of extras, starting with 4 special modifier extras that can trigger at random on any base game spin:

  • Random Wilds feature - 1 high value symbol is turned into a wild.
  • Random Multiplier feature - the payout is boosted by a 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x multiplier.
  • Extra Free Spin Symbol feature - if there are 2 or more scatters on the reels, you could land 1 extra to trigger the Free Spins feature or increase the number of free spins (once in the Free Spins feature).
  • Random Full Moon feature - this feature nudges a full moon or Blood Moon into the Lunar Calendar window and turns high value symbols wild.

Free spins with 4 random features

Land 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters on the same spin and you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature and with it, 7, 10, 12 or 20 free spins. Re-triggers are available here too with 2 scatters giving you 2 additional free spins. The 4 random modifiers can all hit during the feature too – this means more free spins and multipliers up to 5x.

Blood Moon wilds

Things are slightly different with the Lunar Calendar during the Free Spins feature. Multiple Blood Moons are added to the calendar. Land a Blood Moon in the Calendar window and the high value symbols turn wild. Those positions can turn high value symbols wild for the rest of the feature!

Blood Moon Wilds verdict: cracking horror themed slot game

We really liked the Blood Moon Wilds slot game. The visuals are excellent, backed by a fantastic backing track. You’ll hear a reassuring thump as the reels land following each spin. Yggdrasil Gaming has provided plenty of variety as far as gameplay is concerned too.

The random modifiers, transforming wilds and free spins are a cracking combination. If you’re a fan of the horror genre then Blood Moon Wilds is definitely worth investigating. Medium to high variance, the random 5x multiplier can provide wins of 5,000 times your stake on each spin or free spin. If you like the theme, there’s plenty slot games to choose from – such as NetEnt’s Blood Suckers II and Yggdrasil Gaming’s Wolf Hunters.
