Set Your Bet
The 40 paylines are fixed in place, so they are in play with every spin. The developers of the Wild North slot have made it easy for you to choose how much to bet on each spin, so you don’t need to worry about creating a bet.
All of the options are pre-made so you can choose from a range of values between 20p and £100 per spin. Simply select the value you want to stake, and use the + and – buttons to explore all of the bet options.
Win up North
Match three or more identical symbols along one of the 40 paylines in the Wild North slot and you will be awarded. Landing 5 of a kind will pay out the highest rewards. The wild animals hold the highest value.
Five reindeer along a payline can award 6.25 times your stake, and with five of the bears, you could be looking at 5 times your bet back!
The wolf has a maximum payout value of 3.75 times the bet, and landing five owls across a payline could award 2.5 times your stake.
The lower value symbols are the card values from 9 through to Ace. Prize payouts for matching five of these range from 1 to 2.25 times your bet.
Special Features
In addition to the main game, we also have a selection of bonus features that can help you on your way towards a thoroughly enjoyable spin with the Wild North slot.
Wild Tiger
The tiger symbol is wild so it can substitute for any of the standard symbols to create a winning combination if it lands in a handy position.
As well as creating matches with other symbols, there is also the potential to create a winning payline filled with wilds, and top prize payouts for landing a line full of wilds can reach 12.5 times your stake.
Northern Lights Scatter
The famous gorgeous glowing lights in the sky are the scatter symbol in the Wild North slot.
Landing three of the Northern Lights symbols can trigger the bonus game in which you can win one of seven exciting features.

Gameplay
This Scandinavian themed animal slot has a lovely background, featuring snow-covered trees with more snow gently falling as the reels spin. We can also see a lovely coloured sky through transparent reels. The rather tranquil setting is contrasted with the lively backing track of the game, and animals roaring when they are part of a winning combo.
We are big fans of the bonus wheel, because it helps to shake up the game; there are 7 different features within this bonus that play out in their own way, so there is a nice element of variation. That said, it’s not too over the top with features.
All in all, the visuals, theme, and features of the game combine to make something unique and pretty to look at.
The Wild North slot has an RTP of 96%.
