Overview
Wolf Night is a 5x3 slot from 3 Oaks Gaming built around a Hold and Win bonus board with four fixed jackpots. The wooden frame sits against a deep-blue moonlit forest, and the jackpot banner across the top of the game runs all four tiers in color-coded boxes: GRAND in gold, MAJOR in purple, MINOR in teal, MINI in red. Those values update live as the bet changes - at $1.00 they read 2,000.00 / 150.00 / 50.00 / 20.00, and the display is there on every spin from the first to the last. I ran 1,701 spins in the 3 Oaks direct play demo in July 2026. The Hold and Win board fired 14 times; Free Spins triggered 10 times; the session high came from a Hold and Win round at spin 142 that produced 187x. A note on the studio name: Wolf Night was originally released under the Booongo brand before the studio rebranded to 3 Oaks Gaming. Older reviews and some aggregators still list it as Booongo.
Grid and Base Game
Standard 3 Oaks configuration: 5 reels, 3 rows, 25 fixed paylines. Wins pay left to right from reel 1. The paytable at $1.00 stake: top wolf symbol pays 12x for five of a kind, stepping down through 10x (deer), 8x (ram), 6x (eagle), and 4x for the fifth premium. Card royals - A, K, Q, J in ornate gold-green styling - pay 2x for five of a kind, 0.40 for four, 0.20 for three. The base-game ceiling on paylines alone is 12x at max bet for the top symbol - modest, consistent with the design emphasis on the bonus board.
The Wild appears on all five reels and substitutes for everything except Scatter and Bonus. In Free Spins it upgrades to Wild x2, doubling the win of each combination it is part of. The Scatter appears only on reels 2, 3, and 4 - not on the outer reels. Three Scatters trigger Free Spins; Scatter wins pay independently of paylines.
Hit rate across 1,701 spins came in at roughly one in four spins returning something. Most base-game returns are sub-stake card-royal pays at 2x or under. The base game is the space between feature activations, not the primary return mechanism - that is the Hold and Win board.

Bonus Features: Free Spins and Hold and Win
Free Spins
Three Scatters on reels 2, 3, and 4 trigger Free Spins. The in-game rules state 8 spins per trigger. Across 10 Free Spins rounds in my 1,701-spin session, each round ran 9 spins. I am noting the discrepancy without resolving it - the rules text says 8, the session consistently showed 9. Three more Scatters during Free Spins retrigger 8 additional spins per the rules. Free Spins triggered 10 times across the 1,701-spin session - roughly one every 170 spins.
During Free Spins, Wild symbols upgrade to Wild x2. Each Wild x2 doubles the win of every combination it contributes to. Free Spins ceiling is moderate: best round across 10 triggers was 123x, averaging around 31x per trigger.
Hold and Win
Six or more Bonus symbols landing in a single spin trigger the Bonus Game. All Bonus symbols lock in place. 3 respins begin. Each time a new Bonus symbol lands during the respins, the counter resets to 3. The round continues until the counter reaches zero or all 15 positions are filled.
When the board closes, all locked Bonus symbol values sum to the total Bonus win. Individual coin values range from 1x to 16x Total Bet per symbol. Four jackpot tiers are awarded as special Bonus symbols during the round: MINI (20x), MINOR (50x), MAJOR (150x) appear randomly; GRAND (2,000x) is awarded only when all 15 positions are filled.
The MYSTERY symbol appears exclusively during the Bonus Game. It lands as a cloud illustration and reveals as MINI, MINOR, or MAJOR at round end, one by one if multiple land. The bonus can be triggered during Free Spins and runs at the Free Spins triggering bet - this happened three times during my 1,701-spin session. Hold and Win triggered 14 times across the session - roughly one every 121 spins.

Demo Session: 1,701 Spins, Hold and Win and Free Spins Results
I ran 1,701 spins in the 3 Oaks direct play demo in July 2026 at $1.00 per spin. The Hold and Win board fired 14 times; Free Spins triggered 10 times; 3 of those activations were Hold and Win boards starting during an active Free Spins sequence. The session high came from a Hold and Win round at spin 142 that produced 187x.
The five checkpoints all landed near $1,000, but the balance swung wider between them - up to about $1,261 right after the 187x Hold and Win at spin 142 (+26%) and down to about $916 near spin 1,562 (-8%), consistent with the medium-volatility read on this game. Hold and Win averaged around 54x per trigger across 14 rounds. Free Spins averaged around 31x per trigger across 10 rounds. The longest stretch without a meaningful pay ran under 25 spins.
No GRAND jackpot was completed in any of the 14 rounds - the GRAND requires filling all 15 positions, and the best board fill was 8 coin values plus 2 Mystery symbols (the 187x peak round at spin 142). The lower MINI/MINOR/MAJOR tiers can land as Mystery reveals inside a round; the 187x peak is consistent with a mid-tier reveal on top of the locked coin values.
Session Summary
| Spins completed | 1,701 |
| Bet per spin | $1.00 |
| Total wagered | $1,701.00 |
| Hold and Win triggers | 14 |
| Free Spins triggers | 10 |
| Total bonus activations | 24 |
| Max win observed | 187x |
| Balance range | ~$916 low to ~$1,261 high (-8% to +26%) |
| Jackpot tiers completed | None |
Test limitations: Single 1,701-spin demo session at a fixed $1.00 bet with virtual credits - not real money. 1,701 spins is enough to observe both features across multiple activations, but too small a sample to draw conclusions about jackpot completion frequency. No GRAND jackpot (full 15-position fill) in 14 Hold and Win rounds tells us nothing definitive about the GRAND hit rate. The Hold and Win frequency (one every 121 spins in this session), Free Spins frequency (one every 170 spins), and 187x session peak are observations from a single demo run. Results will vary.
Pros and Cons
What Works
- GRAND jackpot of 2,000x confirmed from in-game rules and jackpot bar display - a defined ceiling, not an estimated extrapolation
- Hold and Win triggered more frequently than Free Spins in this session - 14 vs 10 across 1,701 spins - making the higher-ceiling feature also the more frequent one
- Both features chain: Hold and Win fires during Free Spins at the triggering bet; this happened three times in 1,701 spins
- RTP of 95.69% cross-confirmed at four independent aggregators with no disagreement
- Wild x2 upgrade in Free Spins doubles every winning combination the Wild contributes to
- Fixed 25 paylines - no line-selection management required
What to Know Going In
- No Buy Bonus: the 6+ Bonus symbol trigger must happen organically, meaning wait times vary
- Volatility is not officially published by 3 Oaks Gaming; Medium is my estimate from session behavior
- Free Spins ceiling is moderate: best round in session was 123x, averaging around 31x per trigger
- GRAND jackpot requires a full 15-position board fill: no GRAND completed in 14 Hold and Win rounds this session (best fill 8 positions)
- Bet range ($0.25-$60) is from SlotCatalog only, not confirmed from the provider interface during the session
How Wolf Night Compares
3 Oaks Gaming Hold and Win Family
Wolf Night uses the same core Hold and Win framework as other 3 Oaks titles - Lucky Pig Hold and Win, Crystal Scarabs, and others in the catalog. The shared structure: 6+ Bonus symbols trigger the board, symbols lock in place, a 3-respin counter resets to 3 with each new landing, and the round closes when respins exhaust or all positions fill. GRAND jackpot across these titles consistently requires a full board fill.
Wolf Night's specific layout - 15-position board (5x3), coin values 1-16x, four jackpot tiers at 20x/50x/150x/2,000x - sits at a midpoint in the 3 Oaks jackpot range. Jungle Volcano from the same developer carries a higher jackpot on a larger 5x4 board requiring more positions to fill. Wolf Night's GRAND at 2,000x is achievable with a full 15-position fill; larger-grid titles require a substantially harder complete-board condition. Wolf Night's lower cap comes with a lower fill requirement.
Wolf Night vs. Crystal Scarabs (3 Oaks Gaming)
| Feature | Wolf Night | Crystal Scarabs |
|---|---|---|
| Grid | 5x3 (15 positions) | 5x4 (20 positions) |
| GRAND Jackpot | 2,000x bet | 5,000x bet (ROYAL) |
| Bonus trigger | 6+ Full Moon symbols | 6+ Scarab symbols |
| Bonus positions | 15 (fill all for GRAND) | 20 (fill all for ROYAL) |
| Provider | 3 Oaks Gaming | 3 Oaks Gaming |
Cross-Provider: vs. Pragmatic Play Hold and Spin
Pragmatic Play's Hold and Spin mechanic uses a comparable 3-respin-reset board structure with coin symbols that lock in place. The main structural difference: Wolf Night's Bonus symbol values are fixed coin amounts (1-16x per symbol), while Pragmatic titles typically combine fixed coin values with multiplier coins that can amplify partial board wins. Wolf Night's theoretical ceiling is entirely jackpot-gated at 2,000x; a Pragmatic board with multiplier coins can compound partial fills to larger totals without needing all positions. RTP is comparable at 95.69%, within the typical range for Pragmatic Hold and Spin titles.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the RTP of Wolf Night?
95.69%, confirmed across SlotCatalog, ClashOfSlots, GoodLuckMate, and SlotsWolf. 3 Oaks Gaming does not publish RTP on their official game page. Casino operators configure the RTP within their licensed range, so check the specific casino version before playing for real money.
How volatile is Wolf Night?
3 Oaks Gaming does not publish a volatility rating. Based on 1,701 demo spins the game behaves Medium: the credit finished within 6% of the starting figure, bonus triggers averaged one every 71 spins across both features combined, and the longest no-win stretch was under 25 spins. External aggregators SlotCatalog and ClashOfSlots list it as medium or low-medium.
What is the maximum win in Wolf Night?
2,000x Total Bet. This is the GRAND jackpot, awarded when all 15 Bonus symbol positions fill during a single Hold and Win round. Confirmed from the in-game rules: "Collect all 15 BONUS symbols of any type and get the GRAND JACKPOT in the Bonus Game!" Note: bonustiime.com lists 5,000x - that figure appears on no primary source and likely reflects an aggregator error. The in-game confirmed figure is 2,000x.
How do you trigger Free Spins in Wolf Night?
Three Scatter symbols landing on reels 2, 3, and 4 in the same spin trigger Free Spins. Scatter symbols do not appear on reels 1 or 5. The in-game rules state 8 Free Spins per trigger; the session consistently showed 9 spins per trigger across all 10 triggers. Three Scatters during Free Spins retrigger 8 additional spins per the rules.
How does the Hold and Win work in Wolf Night?
Six or more Bonus symbols in a single spin trigger the Bonus Game. All Bonus symbols lock in their grid positions. 3 respins begin; each additional Bonus symbol landing resets the counter to 3. The round continues until the counter reaches zero or all 15 positions fill. At close, all locked Bonus symbol values sum to the payout. MINI (20x), MINOR (50x), and MAJOR (150x) jackpots appear randomly as special Bonus symbols. The GRAND (2,000x) is awarded only when all 15 positions fill. MYSTERY symbols reveal as MINI, MINOR, or MAJOR at round end.
Is there a Buy Bonus feature in Wolf Night?
No. Wolf Night does not include a bonus buy option. Both Hold and Win and Free Spins must trigger through organic base-game play.
Can Hold and Win trigger during Free Spins?
Yes. The in-game rules confirm: "The Bonus Game can be triggered in Free Spins." If 6 or more Bonus symbols land during a Free Spins spin, the Hold and Win board activates at the Free Spins triggering bet. This happened three times across 1,701 spins in the session.
