We are back with another Booming Games review. This time we will be looking at Howling Wolves, a Booming slot from 2020. We opted to give this game a look-see because we have seen it at more than one crypto casino accepting US players. Those sites are rare. In general, Curacao-based platforms will stay away from the US market. Even though state authorities in territories that outright forbid internet gaming almost never prosecute residents that choose to play games of chance online. Why bother with potential legal hassles, right? So, since we have run across this Booming Games title before and seen it connected to some promo offers at a few sites in the past, we chose it as our evaluation pick for the day. It debuted almost two years ago and, as far as we know, has only entered the top one thousand most played games rankings in a few markets.

Theme & Design

Have you ever asked yourself – why do wolves howl? And, do they really howl at the moon? Well, howling is a vocalization that wolves use to communicate their location to other members of their pack or to warn off rivaling groups from entering their territory. Also, zoologists claim that these sounds can also represent a term of affection for other pack members. Despite popular belief, wolves do not howl at the moon. This notion stems from the fact that their howls are more hearable at night when things are quieter. As the name of this game suggests, its theme is howling wolves. Duh.

We have to say. We quite liked the forest backdrop of this slot. It is a beautiful painterly scenery of a section of a wooded area with a creek and moonlight shining through its foliage. Specks of dust fly around the screen, giving the setting a magical vibe. The symbol graphics could have used a bit more work, as some of the low-paying tokens appear like cut-out images, and the wolves could have gotten painted in a way that gives them more depth. They appear a bit flat to us. We did like the Native American flute music used, but we were not fans of the audio effects. They sound like something out of a game show.

Overall, we would give the presentation here a so-so evaluation.

The button’s setup of Howling Wolves is the standard one that Booming Games have incorporated for years. Almost all the game functions are on the right side of your screen, with a plus/minus bet adjuster in the bottom left corner.

Specs & Gameplay

Howling Wolves is a high variance spinner boasting an RTP of 95.49% and a hit frequency of 31.45. The game has twenty-five fixed paylines, and lists a max win potential of x5,000. The lowest bet you can make on its reels is a wager of $0.25, and the highest is a bet of $125. The grid here is the industry standard 5×3 one, and Howling Wolves pays out wins when three or more identical symbols land on a payline left to right.

The low-pay tokens of this slot are feather headdresses, drums, tomahawks, and pots. Combos containing matching symbols from this pack provide rewards of up to x4 your stake. The four different colored wolves are this title’s premiums yielding prizes of up to x20 for five identical wolves on a payline on the same spin.

The moon is the Wild here, and a dreamcatcher is the Scatter.

Bonus Features

The Free Spins mode in this feral canine-inspired reel-spinning adventure gets triggered by landing at least three dreamcatcher Scatters, which award ten complimentary reel rotations. You can reactivate this round if you are lucky enough to land the mentioned amount of minimum Scatters again in the Free Spins mode.

Wilds in Howling Wolves substitute all pay tokens, but not Scatters. When the Howling Wilds feature activates, at random, up to fifteen Wilds may appear in view. Wolf Pack Multipliers, up to x5, can get applied to your total win. Their number depends on how many wolf symbols appear during a spin, and the Alpha Wolf feature morphs all wolves on the grid into the highest value wolf.
