An old IGT classic, you’ve now got even more reasons to play thanks to a big progressive jackpot in the MegaJackpots Wolf Run slot.
There have been an influx of IGT jackpots slots in 2015/2016 prior to this MegaJackpots Wolf Run mobile slot release.
The pattern is obvious; try and make their old classics all the more appealing to online slots players.
We saw MegaJackpots Cleopatra out first, closely followed by MegaJackpots Siberian Storm. Both were huge hits, so IGT brought out a totally original game with the Irish themed Isle O’Plenty.
That one didn’t work out so well, so they went back to basics giving the original Wolf Run slot a progressive jackpot prize in a totally separate machine.
But have they managed to revamp the whole game or is there just a casino jackpot to be had?
If you’ve ever play the Wolf Run slot machine before, then you’ll know that the graphics look a little dated compared with the latest slot games you’ll find on mobile or online. But with realistic wolf images and old Indian totems, it has a loyal following.
You can always read our Wolf Run mobile slot review to get more details on the general game play, one that is loved by players world wide.
That’s probably the reason that IGT decided to keep the original graphics throughout the 5 reels and 40 paylines – to keep that sense of familiarity.
The only major difference is the fact that the MegaJackpots symbols come stacked across all five reels. And this is the real twist to this game. This symbol replaces all other symbols, except the free spins bonus symbol, and acts as an extra wild, helping to produce some decent base game wins.
Find all 5 reels covered in the MegaJackpots symbol and congratulations! You’ve just won the top jackpot prize.
Much like you’ll find in the other IGT games that contain a jackpot, this MegaJackpots Wolf Run video slot has a different return to player rate, which is always good to know.
The slot, without a jackpot, has a return to player rate of 94.98%. This new jackpot slot comes with a RTP that changes depending on the size of the jackpot prize.
Your RTP will go from 91.02% when the jackpot is only over 500,000, up to 93.04% when it’s over one million. That means you’re better off playing when you see the jackpot over that 1 million mark.
That said, it usually hits a little before, so it’s worth taking a chance on a great jackpot game.

IGT specifically state that the bigger you bet, the more chance you have of hitting the jackpot within these five reels of MegaJackpots.
Free Spins: Get 3 of the Bonus symbols across reels 2, 3, and 4 and you will be awarded with 5 free spins. Here you can win the jackpot and re-trigger more bonus spins.
Second Chance: On any spin you could get a random chance to win the jackpot prize. This will occur with bigger bets.
Overall the MegaJackpots Wolf Run mobile slot looks and feels much like the original. However it feel like those MegaJackpot symbols provide more action during the base game and free spin, as they act as wilds.
However, that's not strictly true, it's more an illusion as you wait for those jackpot symbols to pay out big.
A game that is designed for bigger betters, as you have better odds of triggering the jackpot, but one that can still be played on a smaller budget as the minimum bet is 0.40 per spin.
If however, this game is too much to handle for you, then there's always the NetEnt Mega Fortune slot or the always popular Playtech Gladiator Jackpot game for a bit of variety.
