Wild North

Step foot into the tundra of the Wild North slot and see what features each of its majestic beasts can bestow upon your spin. In this Play’n GO slot with 40 paylines, you can win up to 2,500x your bet! The animals will be key to finding this jackpot.

For the central Free Spins bonus game, each animal symbol on the wheel will add a different feature! While many online slots are stacked with features, few have as many features within one bonus! Will you brave the winter winds to uncover the secret power of the Wild North?

Much like in Book of Dead, while the Wild Lynx symbol does pay at 1x, 3.75x, and 12.50x for three, four, and five along a payline, respectively, the Wild North slot only really has one bonus feature. Still, this Free Spins mode has seven different ways to play, which is determined by a wheel spin. Here’s how it works:

When you hit the Northern Lights scatter symbol three times on the same spin, you’ll get to go to the Bonus Feature Wheel. This seven-segment wheel determines the feature that’ll pad your Free Spins. All you need to do is spin the wheel, and once it stops, you’ll be off to your feature-powered Northern Lights bonus game on Wild North.

These features are:
The Great Wilderness - triggers 4x4 mega symbols on reels 2 to 5 on each Free Spin.
Wild Lynx - 1 or 2 reels go entirely wild on each Free Spin.
Running Reindeer - the reindeer symbol is stacked on reels 2 to 4.
Savage Bear - gives a random multiplier of up to 30x from one Free Spin.
Wolf Pack - four wolves appear and stick on the reels during the bonus feature.
Eyes of the Owl - 2x2 owl symbols appear and stick on the reels during the bonus feature.
Wild North Explorer - open tiles to reveal a hidden prize; cash prizes or bonus features!

The Wild North Explorer bonus feature is one of the seven available on the wheel for the Northern Lights bonus game, but it plays differently from the rest. Here, you’re presented with a 20-tile grid. One by one, you’ll select or tap on these tiles to flip them and reveal your prizes.
You can find instant cash prizes and the other Free Spins bonuses given by the animals.
Once you land on a tile hiding The Great Wilderness, Wild Lynx, or X images (Final Images), you’ll get awarded any related bonus feature and the Wild North Explorer round ends. If, on the other hand, you’ll land on any of the Return Images (Running Reindeer, Savage Bear, Wolf Pack, Eyes of the Owl), you’ll get awarded the bonus feature and you’ll also return to the Wild North Explorer grid to select another tile.

Before you make it to the Northern Lights bonus game, you’ll be looking to combine the base symbols on the five reels and four rows of Wild North. The Wild Lynx can help with this by substituting for any paying symbol, except the scatter. On one of the 40 paylines, you’ll be looking to align three or more of the same symbol from the reel on the left towards the right.

Nines, Tens, Jacks, Queens, Kings, and Aces pay the least. As you’d assume, Nines are the lowest-returning symbol. They pay 0.10x for three in a row and 1x for five. The animals are the best symbols to roll in. Owls, Wolves, Bears, and Reindeer are the highest-paying, with the Reindeer being the outright top by offering 6.25x for five along one payline.

To play the Wild North slot, you first need to establish how much you want to bet on every spin. Use the plus and minus buttons on either side of the bet bar at the base of the game to select one that’s to your liking. Next, select the aptly labelled Spin button if you’re on an Android or iOS device, or select it as a computer player of Wild North.

Wild North is all about embracing the tundra and discovering the glory of Canada’s wild animals. To help with this, the Play’n GO team have created some particularly majestic-looking animal symbols and backed the game with a serene soundtrack.


If you win, it certainly leaps from mellow to adventurous in its tone. Despite being released in August 2015, the Wild North slot holds up very well today, both for its features and its aesthetics.

Play’n GO are famed for kicking off the ‘Book of’ fad and delving into the myths of Ancient Egypt – just as they do in Legacy of Egypt and Rich Wilde and the Amulet of Dead. For something very different from the Wild North slot, check out Energoonz.

Wild North is all about harnessing the might of all of the great creatures of Canada. For a more intimate slot gaming experience with some of its feature-powering animals, turn to Great Bear, Wolf Gold, or Owls next.
