Wolf Gold is a 5x3, 25-payline slot released by Pragmatic Play on 27 April 2017 and still one of the most stocked jackpot slots in online lobbies. Its RTP is 96.01%, volatility is medium and the ceiling is 2,500x your stake, with bets from EUR 0.25 to EUR 125.
Two features carry it: free spins, where reels two to four merge into one giant symbol, and the Money Respin, which starts on six money symbols and pays a Mega Jackpot of 1,000x if all fifteen positions fill up.
What it is — and what it is not
This page is about the Pragmatic Play video slot. Wolf Gold is a North-American wilderness game: a red-rock canyon at sunset behind the reels, a wolf as the wild, and a buffalo, an eagle, a cougar and a mustang as the four premium animals. Card royals A, K, Q and J fill the low end, a canyon scatter opens free spins, and a glowing blue moon is the money symbol that runs the jackpot round.
It was released on 27 April 2017 and was the first big hold-and-win title from a studio that, at the time, was better known for its bingo and classic three-reelers. Nine years later it is still the reference Pragmatic Play jackpot slot in most lobbies, ahead of its own sequels.
Players search for it as Gold Wolf too. It is the same slot: Pragmatic Play has no other title under that name, and the game files, RTP and features do not change with the spelling.
Base game, giant symbols and free spins
Wolf Gold pays left to right on 25 fixed lines across a 5×3 grid. Four animals sit at the top of the paytable, the wolf substitutes for all of them and lands stacked, the canyon scatter opens free spins, and the blue moon is the money symbol that runs the Money Respin. Every symbol below is taken from the game itself.

A · K · Q · JCard royals, the low end
KCard royalThe wolf lands in stacks. A full reel of wilds inside a 25-line grid is where most of the base-game spikes come from at medium volatility.
Three scatters award five free spins. Reels two to four fuse into a single 3×3 symbol — one hit fills three reels at once. Three more scatters add three spins, with no cap on retriggers.
Six or more moons lock in place and give three respins. Every new moon resets the counter to three; a full 15-symbol grid pays the 1,000x Mega. It can fire inside free spins too.
Medium volatility, but a giant symbol pays like five stacked reels — the free spins round is where the 2,500x ceiling becomes reachable.

The numbers
Everything below is the provider's own published figure. A casino can narrow the bet range and, in some markets, run a lower RTP build — the number inside the game's info panel at your casino is the one that applies to you.
At the minimum €0.25 stake the Mega Jackpot is worth €250; at the €125 maximum it is €125,000. The jackpots scale with the bet, so a bigger stake changes the amount, not the odds — more on that on the where-to-play page.

Wolf Gold was the bet that turned Pragmatic Play into a jackpot studio. The Money Respin engine it introduced in 2017 went on to power a generation of sequels — Wolf Gold Ultimate, the 4-Pack, Mustang Gold, Buffalo King — and a longer line of imitators from other studios. The original is still the one players type into search: about 2,000 searches a month in the US, 800 in the UK, 700 in Canada, 500 in Germany, 350 in the Netherlands, 300 in Australia and 250 in Brazil.
