Winning Big with Werewolf it Up!
Werewolf it Up! is a captivating online slot machine created by prominent game developer, Microgaming. Released in 2020, this werewolf-themed game has quickly gained popularity among players worldwide for its engaging gameplay and enticing bonus features.
Theme and Design
The Werewolf it Up! theme of Werewolf it Up! revolves around the idea of humans transforming into wolves during a full moon night. The game’s design is set against a dark forest background with misty clouds hovering above, creating an eerie atmosphere that perfectly complements the werewolf concept. The reels are surrounded by intricate wooden frames and ornate details reminiscent of ancient folklore.
The main characters in the game include humans who have transformed into wolves under the light of the full moon, each bearing different emotions such as fear, excitement, or curiosity on their faces. These unique character designs add a touch of whimsy to the overall theme. The background music is equally enchanting, with howling wolf sounds and gentle forest whispers contributing to an immersive gaming experience.
Symbols
The symbols used in Werewolf it Up! are diverse and thoughtfully designed to match the game’s werewolf-themed narrative:
- High-paying symbol: A full moon glowing on a dark sky above the treetops represents the high-paying symbol.
- Medium-paying symbol:
- Human-wolf hybrid, with its arms stretched out as if it just transformed from human to wolf.
- Wolf in the woods – sitting proudly by a tree branch during sunset.
- Low-paying symbols: They are all designed around elements typically found near forests and lakes like pine leaves (with green color) and fish.
The Wild symbol is represented by an image of the full moon over mountains, glowing brightly against a starry night sky. This particular design is both captivating and functional as it fills in for any other regular symbol to create a winning combination when necessary.
Payouts
Winning combinations in Werewolf it Up! are awarded based on the number of identical symbols that appear from leftmost reel to rightmost reel, starting with at least one Wild or Scatter. The game follows Microgaming’s typical rules where high-paying symbols have larger payouts than medium- and low-payers.
Wilds
The Full Moon Over Mountains symbol functions as a substitute for other regular symbols on the reels (except the Scatter) when creating winning combinations in Werewolf it Up! However, its appearance is quite rare but can significantly impact game progression if triggered correctly. Unfortunately, there’s no dedicated "Free Spin" Wild.
Scatters
The full moon over mountains symbol represents both the Wild and the Scatter functions within Werewolf it Up!. The term ‘Scatter’ here refers to how this particular image triggers the Free Spins bonus feature whenever two appear on adjacent reels (from leftmost reel one or 2), regardless of positions. One might say there’s an interesting dual function for the moon in werewolf folklore, but unfortunately not exactly implemented as such within gameplay rules.
Bonus Features
Two exciting bonuses are available to spice up game play:
Free Spins Feature
- Activated when a full Moon icon appears on reels 1 and 2.
- Awarded 10 free spins for players who manage this feat.
- No multiplier applies during these special spin rounds, unfortunately.
