Slot Summary

Before Black Wolf 2 arrived as its 2023 sequel, Black Wolf established 3 Oaks' forest series through a Hold and Win round centered on Moon Bonus symbols. Its 1,000x ceiling also serves as the Grand prize, giving the feature a visible endpoint rather than an open-ended multiplier chase. Medium volatility, 25 paylines, Cash Collector behavior, Mystery Symbols, and Free Spins make this the foundation that the later release explicitly expanded.

How It Plays

The base game uses 25 paylines and a Wild Symbol that substitutes for ordinary pay symbols. Scatters provide the route into Free Spins.

Moon Bonus symbols carry cash values while the Cash Collector gathers every visible Moon value. That collection can pay during ordinary play without starting the respin round.

Theme & Atmosphere

A Forest at night supplies the setting, with the Moon serving both as a visual anchor and the marker used for value-bearing Bonus symbols.

Animals and Wildlife remain central throughout the Nature presentation, allowing the wolf subject to connect directly with the feature's Moon symbols instead of sitting apart from the rules.

Features & Win Potential

The Cash Collector adds the values of all visible Moon Bonus symbols when it lands. This creates an immediate collection result separate from Hold and Win.

Mystery Symbols can resolve into higher-value Bonus symbols during the respin feature. Their uncertainty affects the occupied positions without changing the three-respin rule.

Free Spins Scatter Symbol Wild Symbol Medium volatility 5 Reels Bonus Game Hold and Spin Mystery Symbols Additional Free Spins Bonus symbols Hold and Win Cash Collector Mystery symbol 25 Paylines

Bonus & Free Spins

Hold and Win begins with three respins and keeps the triggering Moon Bonus symbols fixed. Every new Bonus symbol fills another position and resets the counter to three.

Free Spins give additional opportunities for Cash Collector and Bonus symbols to appear. They form a separate feature route from the locked-symbol Hold and Win round.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (Medium). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (95.65%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (1,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
