If wide, open spaces or mountainous terrain fill you with awe, this is a game for you. But even if the great outdoors is not your thing, and you love jackpot slots, The Call of the Wild is an excellent game with plenty of features to keep even the most committed couch potato happy. The game’s relatively low return to player (RTP) of 94.5% with medium volatility makes it low risk. However, there’s plenty of excitement among the reels to make it worth a spin or two. The fact that it’s configured to play on any device means you can answer the call of the wild anytime you like. You can also play the game in demo mode, accessing all the features, including the jackpot game.

Game Overview

Call of the Wild is a relatively simple game best suited to beginners getting a feel for online slot machines. However, for veterans of online casino games, it may not offer enough variety or complexity in its structure or features. The game has 6×4 reels and 25 paylines. The game also features a top-scoring wolf, wild howling wolf, cougar, bear, horse, and the iconic bald eagle — and don’t forget about the traditional playing-card symbols, each with a value of 1.6x.

How To Play

Three identical symbols landing on the reels from left to right trigger a base game win. The howling wolf wild symbol replaces other paying symbols and pays up to 15x your bet.

The appearance of the mystery symbol is random and unlocks different winning values when it flips to reveal other symbols once the reels come to a stop.

There are no scatters or bonus games in Call of the Wild, nor are there any free spins, although there is an opportunity to win respins.

The simplicity of this game makes it easy to play. Once players have got the hang of Call of the Wild, they may choose to advance to more complex games and possibly even consider pitting themselves against other gamers in slot tournaments.

Graphics

The wild animals found in the rocky outcrops flanking the reels are nicely rendered and include the wolf, cougar, bald eagle, bear, and horse. The game isn’t very interactive, but the tense movie-like soundtrack with the odd howl of the wolf thrown in adds to the game’s atmosphere.

As far as animations go, there’s some excitement when gold coins shoot out of the reels when there’s a significant win, reminiscent of the cascade of coins in old-fashioned real-life slot machines.

Features

There are several features in Call of the Wild that’ll keep players interested beyond the game’s apparent simplicity.

The wolf wild replaces any other paying symbol and may appear anywhere in the base game.

Six wolf wilds activate the Wild Win and Spin feature. The wilds stick, and players get three respins. With each new wild symbol that appears and sticks, the number of respins goes back to three, which results in more chances to land more wilds. The feature ends when all respins are finished, or the reels are entirely covered with wilds.

The Spin Chance feature is common in other Inspired Gaming slots and kicks in when a player’s bankroll dips below the selected bet level. At this point in the game, players can take a risk on a respin at the same bet level, but there are no guarantees (which is why it’s a game of chance). All gamblers who play at a casino online should know how to manage their bankroll responsibly — this can be doubly important when playing live dealer casino games where the stakes are much higher than with slots.

Bonuses and Jackpots

Online slots — with the anticipation of slots bonus games, and jackpots — are among the most popular online casino games. In Call of the Wild, the big 539x win triggers if you can cover the whole screen with wilds in the Wild Win and Spin feature. With each spin, the wolf wilds are held on the reels until all the respins are exhausted, and then the game will pay out according to the final number of wilds on the reels.

There are no bonus games in this slot, but hitting all the wilds in the Wild Win and Spin feature constitutes a pretty good jackpot.
