5 Wild Wolves plays out across 5 reels and 4 rows with 1,024 ways to win. The main symbols are inspired by North American wildlife, with wolves acting as the alpha symbols. In the base game, full stacks of wolves take on the Wolf Stack Multiplier for that reel, which can increase the number of wolf symbols up to 25x. Gold Coins can also appear on any symbol to boost the 5 Fortune Prizes and potentially trigger the Fortune Bonus.

The main bonus round is triggered by landing scatter symbols, awarding Howling Free Spins where wild symbols expand to fill entire reels. During these free spins, expanding wilds further boost the stack multipliers to deliver large win potential. The high volatility makes this slot well suited to players who prefer substantial payouts over frequent small wins.
