Black Wolf Hold and Win (3 Oaks Gaming (Booongo)) – Review & Demo Play

Black Wolf Slot Features

I went into Black Wolf Hold and Win with low expectations and came away impressed by how tight the package feels. It’s a 5x4 grid with 25 paylines, medium volatility, and a theoretical RTP of 95.65%. Bets start at 0.25, and the model suits casual sessions with room for swings. The max win is listed at x1328, while the forest setting and clear symbol art keep the action readable. I found the flow steady, even when the base game cooled off.

The pay set uses eight symbols split into lows J–A and highs featuring owl, eagle, lynx, and elk. Wilds match elk pays and sub for lines, with Huntress acting as the Scatter. A special collect symbol on the middle reel in base play can scoop all Moon Bonus values that land with it, and this interaction pops far more during free spins and the hold-and-win round. It’s simple, clear, and does a good job of nudging the pace.

Hold and Win needs six Moons, or five plus the collect symbol, to trigger. You start on three respins, resetting whenever a new symbol lands, and you can hit Mini, Minor, or Major via labelled Moons at 20x, 50x, and 100x. Fill the grid to land the Grand at 1000x. Mystery Moons can flip into any jackpot at the end. Free spins launch from three Scatters, awarding eight spins with retriggers, and the reel set weights more Moons and collect hits.

Black Wolf Hold and Win Symbols and Paytable

I rate the pays as fair for a mid-range slot. J–A lines pay 2x for five-of-a-kind. The animal set climbs nicely, with elk at the top paying 20x for five, and owl, eagle, and lynx forming the mid tiers. The Wolf Wild mirrors elk’s line value, so five Wilds on a line hit the same 20x. Huntress Scatters only trigger features. Moons show cash values, jackpot tags, or mystery, and they lock only in the respin round.

The paytable communicates cleanly, and I never felt misled on symbol weight. Moon values vary by stake, jackpots are fixed at 20x/50x/100x/1000x, and the mystery variant settles at the end of the feature. With eight pay symbols, stacked premium hits feel decent when they line up, though most of the punch sits in the respins. I like that Wilds have their own pay ladder, giving base game spins a bit of spice between feature triggers.

Review Summary for Black Wolf Hold and Win

I see this as an improvement on Wolf Saga, with a nicer rhythm and a bit more meat to the features. The audiovisuals are pleasant, the four fixed jackpots in Hold and Win keep the ceiling clear, and the collect mechanic ties the modes together. The 95.65% RTP is weak, and the x1328 max won’t thrill high-risk hunters, but I’d still recommend it to Hold and Win fans wanting balanced play and tidy execution.
