This is a 5-reel 50-payline slot inspired by an adventure manga and the anime TV series titled Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin. Set against a snowy forest, the slot transports you to the habitat of the Silver Fang, a brave pup who left his master and joined a pack of wild dogs. Microgaming has designed the slot to be fairly basic in terms of visuals and bonus features; it has a wild, a scatter and a free spin bonus. Coin values range from $0.01 to $0.05 and you can wager up to ten coins on each payline, thus, a total bet varies between $0.50 and $25 per spin.

All regular symbols create combos if at least three matching symbols line up left to right. Playing cards pay x15 to x150. Themed icons such as Deer, Silver Fang and Logo pay x250, x500 and x750, respectively, for five of each kind. In money terms, the maximum prize that regular symbols produce is $375. Really, the payouts come in low amounts but you will experience high hit frequencies to hold your interest.

Bonus features

There are two symbols that function to the advantage of gamblers, beginning with the wild that contains the Howling Wolf. The wild works in a traditional way to help all normal symbols complete their combinations. Wilds also provide wins independently of other symbols if 2 or more line up. Hitting five wilds generates the top jackpot of x1000 or $500 at the maximum bet.

A wolf paw printed on snow is a scatter that pays up to x50 ($1250 at max). A positive of the scatter is that it can award you regardless of the position of matching icons on the reels. Three or more scatters unlock a free spin bonus that can bring you lots of profit, since you get 15 free spins at a massive multiplier of x5. During free spins the wild Howling Wolf appears in stacks, which inevitably increases your winning chances.

Any winning spin in the base game is followed by a gamble feature that you can activate or ignore. You are offered to guess a color or suit of a facedown card. Guessing it right doubles or quadruples your win in the preceding base game.
