Rockabilly Wolves from Just For The Win: Slot Review - become the leader of the pack!

Travel back in time to an alternate 1950s for a rocking good time on the reels in this new release from Just For The Win in collaboration with Microgaming. This game is all about 3 fun-loving wolves who like nothing better than to howl and rock their way through a variety of 50s inspired songs on stage. With it being the 1950s, the wolves are each sporting a fabulous quiff which is quite a feat for these animals! Let’s join them on stage and see if they can help us land lots of lucrative cash payouts when we spin the reels in this slot?

Rockabilly Wolves is a 5 reel slot with 20 paylines that features Respins, Sticky Wilds, Increasing Multipliers, and Free Spins.

Special Features

The first feature to highlight is that the Wolves, Logo, 8 Ball, and Cherry symbols come stacked 3 symbols high on the reels in this game. Land a few of these symbols together on an active payline to bag yourself a sweet cash prize.

Rockabilly Wolves has not just 1 Wild symbol but in fact 3! These symbols consist of a Regular Wild, a Sticky Wild, and a Multiplier Sticky Wild and substitute for all other symbols apart from the Scatter symbol. They are represented by the 3 Wolves together, one wolf on his own, and a yellow vinyl record. The Regular Wild appears only in the main game whereas the Sticky wild and Multiplier Sticky Wild appear only in Free Spins.

The Scatter symbol in this slot is depicted by the words ‘Free Spins’ and appears only on reels 2, 3, and 4 in the main game. If 2 Scatters land, then the reel without the Free Spins symbol will spin again with the other reels locked into place. This is known as the Respin feature. If the third Scatter symbol lands during the Respin then you will trigger the Free Spins feature. Alternatively, you can just trigger Free Spins instantly by landing 3 Scatters on the same spin.

As soon as you have activated the Free Spins feature, you will be awarded 9 Free Spins. The Scatter symbol on reel 3 will then transform into a lucrative Multiplier Sticky Wild and lock into place for the duration of this feature. All Free Spins come with a 2X multiplier from the start and when a Sticky Wild or Multiplier Sticky Wild appears then they will increase the multiplier by 1 and lock into place for the entire feature. Only one Multiplier Sticky Wild can land in this feature and the maximum multiplier you can obtain is capped at 6X. It is also possible to land more Free Spins as when at least one Sticky Wild or Multiplier Sticky Wild lands then you will be awarded 3 extra Free Spins which means you can play with 12 Free Spins in total.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

In terms of graphics, this game is a joy to look at as it features slick and cartoon-like visuals as it plays out in front of a stylish purple background. Symbols are wonderfully rendered onscreen and consist of Wolves, an 8 Ball, Cherries, along with classic A – J icons. The animations are top-notch as symbols move rapidly down the reels and are highlighted by a neat multi-coloured frame when part of a winning payline. It is particularly exciting when the Respin feature activates as the last reel features flame-like effects to really up the ante as you anxiously wait to see if a third Scatter symbol appears to trigger the Free Spins game.

The music features a wonderful 1950s inspired guitar soundtrack. It is catchy and fun to listen to and ties in really well with the rock ‘n’ roll theme of the game.

Win lines, Payouts and Jackpots

The game has 20 paylines, a decent RTP of 96.03%, and a maximum payout worth 6,411X your original stake.
