Wolf Gold is Pragmatic Play's 2017 slot on five reels, three rows and 25 paylines, with a wolf wild, buffaloes, eagles, horses and cougars. Moons on the reels carry values from 1x to 100x the bet, or the Mini or Major jackpot. Six or more start the Money Respin, where every new moon sticks and resets the count to three respins, and a full screen of 15 adds the 1,000x Mega Jackpot. Three scatters start five free spins in which the middle three reels spin as one giant symbol.

Where Wolf Gold comes from
Pragmatic Play released Wolf Gold in 2017. The name has since gone to separate games: Wolf Gold PowerJackpot, launched in 2022 as a sequel, Wolf Gold Ultimate (2024), Wolf Gold 4 Pack and a Wolf Gold scratchcard. This page covers the original.
How Wolf Gold works
Wolf Gold has five reels of three rows and 25 fixed paylines: you set coins per line and the coin value, not the number of lines. Wins pay left to right from the leftmost reel, only the highest win on each line counts, and line wins are multiplied by the bet per line.
Its three features are Stacked Wilds, the Money Respin and Blazing Reels, the free spins. The wolf is the wild and stands in for every symbol except the scatter and the moon, the money symbol that carries cash values and jackpots.
Wolf Gold paytable in multiples of the total bet
Line pays as multiples of the total bet: five buffaloes on a line pay 20x, R40 on a R2 spin.
| Symbol | Five | Four | Three |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wolf (wild) or buffalo | 20x | 10x | 1x |
| Eagle | 16x | 6x | 0.8x |
| Horse | 12x | 4x | 0.6x |
| Cougar | 8x | 2x | 0.4x |
| A | 2x | 0.8x | 0.4x |
| K, Q or J | 2x | 0.8x | 0.2x |
| Scatter, reels 1, 3 and 5 only | - | - | 1x and 5 free spins |
What the paytable adds up to
- The wolf pays like the buffalo. Five wolves or five buffaloes on a line pay 20x the total bet, the largest line win in the table.
- Scatters sit on three reels. The scatter appears only on reels 1, 3 and 5. Three of them pay 1x the total bet and start five free spins.
- Moons have no line pay. The moon lands on all five reels but has no line pay. Its value is paid only at the end of a Money Respin, with every other moon on the screen.
Money Respin: moons that stay and reset the count
Each moon lands with a value: 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 10x, 14x, 16x, 18x, 20x, 24x, 30x or 100x the total bet, or the Mini or Major jackpot. Six or more in one spin start the Money Respin, after that spin's line wins are paid.
The other symbols fade, the triggering moons stay, and special reels of moons and empty spaces take over. You get three respins, each new moon stays, and a respin that lands one resets the count to three. The round ends when the respins run out or all 15 positions hold a moon.
Then all the moon values are added and paid. A full screen also wins the 1,000x Mega Jackpot on top: 15 moons at the lowest 1x plus 1,000x make at least 1,015x the bet, R2,030 on a R2 spin.
The three jackpots in multiples of the bet and in rand
The panel above the reels shows the jackpots in cash: Mini $60.00, Major $200.00 and Mega $2,000.00 at the demo's $2.00 bet, so they are 30x, 100x and 1,000x the bet.
| Jackpot | x total bet | On a R2 spin | How it is won |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mini | 30x | R60 | A moon carries it |
| Major | 100x | R200 | A moon carries it |
| Mega | 1,000x | R2,000 | All 15 positions filled in a Money Respin |
Free spins: one giant symbol across reels 2 to 4
Three scatters start five free spins, in which reels 2, 3 and 4 spin together as one giant symbol on special reels. Three more scatters add three spins with no limit, and the Money Respin can start inside the round.
Every one of the 25 lines crosses the giant symbol. Eight lines start in the top row of reel 1, nine in the middle and eight in the bottom.
With a giant wolf in place, a buffalo at the top of reel 1 makes four buffaloes, 10x the bet, on each of the eight lines that start there. That is 80x, R160 on a R2 spin, before reel 5 adds anything.
What Pragmatic publishes, and what it leaves out
Pragmatic's game page gives an RTP of 96.01%, while its own free demo states 96% for the version it runs. At a casino, read the RTP line in the game's rules.
Neither Pragmatic's game page nor the demo's rules rate the volatility. Every pay is a fixed multiple of the stake, so a bigger bet changes the rand amounts, not the return.

- Each new moon resets the Money Respin to three respins
- A full screen adds the 1,000x Mega to the moons
- Free spins retrigger with no limit in the rules
- The free spins round starts with five spins
- The cards pay at most 2x the bet for five

A 25-line slot whose rules put the larger sums in the moons: values up to 100x the bet, the Mini and Major, and the 1,000x Mega for a full screen, all paid when a Money Respin ends. A line pays 20x at most, and in free spins the giant symbol sits on every line.
Wolf Gold FAQ
How does the Money Respin work?
Six or more moons start it with three respins. Each new moon stays and resets the count to three. At the end the moon values are paid, plus the Mega Jackpot if all 15 positions are full.
What are the Wolf Gold jackpots worth?
Mini 30x, Major 100x and Mega 1,000x the total bet: R60, R200 and R2,000 on a R2 spin. A moon can carry the Mini or Major, and the Mega needs a full screen in the Money Respin.
What is the maximum win in Wolf Gold?
Pragmatic states none. The 1,000x Mega is the top jackpot, not a cap: a full screen in the Money Respin also pays its 15 moons, at least 1,015x the bet.
How do the free spins work?
Three scatters, on reels 1, 3 and 5 only, pay 1x the bet and start five free spins with one giant symbol on reels 2 to 4. Three more scatters add three spins, with no limit.
Are the other Wolf Gold games the same slot?
No. Wolf Gold Ultimate, Wolf Gold 4 Pack, Wolf Gold PowerJackpot and a Wolf Gold scratchcard are separate games. This page covers the 2017 original.
