Special Features
Most Megaways games typically come with cascading features, however Mystery Symbols, Spin Modifiers and Free Spins can be found around every corner, making up for the absence of the traditionally found Megaways feature. While playing Curse of the Werewolf Megaways, you'll notice a wolf howling at the moon. This wolf is the mystery symbol, and when these symbols land during the base game, they'll transform into the same paying symbol to help increase your chances of landing bigger wins. This game also comes with spin modifiers. There are super spins, and guaranteed win spins. The Super Spins feature will drop stacks of high valued symbols on the reels, while the guaranteed win spins will guarantee you a big win on multiple pay lines.
The wolf howling at the moon is the bonus scatter, and appears on any reel. If you land three, four, five or six bonus symbols, you'll award eight, ten twelve or fifteen free spins. The free spins use a progressive feature involving a special gold wolf symbol, which operates as a substitute for the regular red wolf. Whenever the gold wolf symbol lands, it'll remove 1 to 5 lives from the high valued characters. If five lives are revamped from a character, it'll be replaced on the reels by the red premium wolf symbol and an extra free spin is awarded. The bonus game can be extended if more symbols land and will award extra free spins.
